This book provides a thrilling history of the famous priority dispute between Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and Isaac Newton, presenting the episode for the first time in the context of cultural history. It introduces readers to the background of the dispute, details its escalation, and discusses the aftermath of the big divide, which extended well into recent times. One of the unique features of the book is that the mathematics behind the story is very intelligibly explained – an approach that offers general readers interested in the history of sciences and mathematics a window into the world of these two giants in their field. From the epilogue to the German edition by Eberhard Knobloch: Thomas Sonar has traced the emergence and the escalation of this conflict, which was heightened by Leibniz’s rejection of Newton’s gravitation theory, in a grandiose, excitingly written monograph. With absolute competence, he also explains the mathematical context so that non-mathematicians will also profit from the book. Quod erat demonstrandum! From the reviews for the German language edition ….. This book provides a vivid and easy-reading picture of many political and scientific aspects of the end of the 17th and the beginning of the 18th century, and constitutes an excellent guide to the existing secondary literature for laymen as well as for specialists…. Stefan Neuwirth in: Zentralblatt MATH 1343 — 1 (1343.01005) An extremely readable book on one of the most memorable episodes in the history of sciences.

The goal of this book is to provide readers with an update on recent developments in surgical treatment of some shoulder disorders. The perspective of this book involves highlighting management of complex shoulder conditions in better ways. This book is divided into four main sections: 'Repair' involves chapters related to primary repair; 'Replacement' section provides detailed perspective on shoulder replacement procedures for different conditions; 'Reconstruction' includes a chapter on reconstructive procedures where primary repair is not possible; and lastly 'Rehab and Miscellaneous' section includes chapters on surgical management of rheumatoid arthritis and rehab. Individual chapters provide a base for a wide range of readers including students, professors, physiotherapists and orthopaedic surgeons, who will find in this book simply explained basics as well as advanced techniques of shoulder surgeries. The book consists of ten chapeters, compiled by experts from institutes across the globe.

During the last three decades geosciences and geo-engineering were influenced by two essential scenarios: First, the technological progress has changed completely the observational and measurement techniques. Modern high speed computers and satellite based techniques are entering more and more all geodisciplines. Second, there is a growing public concern about the future of our planet, its climate, its environment, and about an expected shortage of natural resources. Obviously, both aspects, viz. efficient strategies of protection against threats of a changing Earth and the exceptional situation of getting terrestrial, airborne as well as spaceborne data of better and better quality explain the strong need of new mathematical structures, tools, and methods. Mathematics concerned with geoscientific problems, i.e., Geomathematics, is becoming increasingly important. The ‘Handbook Geomathematics’ as a central reference work in this area comprises the following scientific fields: (I) observational and measurement key technologies (II) modelling of the system Earth (geosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere) (III) analytic, algebraic, and operator-theoretic methods (IV) statistical and stochastic methods (V) computational and numerical analysis methods (VI) historical background and future perspectives.

Der umfangreiche Briefwechsel zwischen den Mathematikern Richard Dedekind und Heinrich Weber liegt nun erstmals in transkribierter Form vor. Es handelt sich dabei um einen der wichtigsten - wenn nicht um den wichtigsten -- Briefwechsel von Mathematikern der zweiten Hälfte des 19. und des beginnenden 20. Jahrhunderts, da nahezu jedes Teilgebiet der Mathematik angesprochen wird und damals beginnende Entwicklungen intensiv diskutiert wurden. Personen- und Werkverzeichnisse erleichtern den Überblick über die in den Briefen diskutierten Personen und Themen. Mit diesem Band wird ein Desiderat der Mathematikgeschichte geliefert, denn im Briefwechsel Dedekind-Weber spiegeln sich die großen Veränderungen und die Fortschritte, die die Mathematik in der stürmischen Entwicklungsphase des 19. Jahrhunderts kennzeichnete.
