Each chapter begins with a brief biography and concludes with a chronological works list.

Further Steps 2 brings together New York’s foremost choreographers – among them MacArthur ‘Genius’ award winners Meredith Monk and Bill T. Jones – to discuss the past, present and future of dance in the US. In a series of exclusive and enlightening interviews, this diverse selection of artists discuss the changing roles of race, gender, politics, and the social environment on their work. Bringing her own experience of the New York dance scene to her study, Constance Kreemer traces the lives and works of the following choreographers: Lucinda Childs, Douglas Dunn, Molissa Fenley, Rennie Harris, Bill T. Jones, Kenneth King, Nancy Meehan, Meredith Monk, Rosalind Newman, Gus Solomons jr, Doug Varone, Dan Wagoner, Mel Wong and Jawole Zollar.

This three-volume work presents the main known equivalents to the Riemann hypothesis, perhaps the most important problem in mathematics. Volume 3 covers new arithmetic and analytic equivalences from numerous studies in the field, such as Rogers and Tao, and presents derivations which show whether the Riemann hypothesis is decidable.

For some observers, nuclear arms control is either a relic of the cold war, or a utopian dream about a denuclearized planet decades in the future. But, as Brookings scholars Steven Pifer and Michael O'Hanlon argue in The Opportunity, arms control can address some key security challenges facing Washington today and enhance both American and global security. Pifer and O'Hanlon make a compelling case for further arms control measures—to reduce the nuclear threat to the United States and its allies, to strengthen strategic stability, to promote greater transparency regarding secretive nuclear arsenals, to create the possibility for significant defense budget savings, to bolster American credibility in the fight to curb nuclear proliferation, and to build a stronger and more sustainable U.S.-Russia relationship. President Obama gave priority to nuclear arms control early in his first term and, by all accounts, would like to be transformational on these questions. Can there be another major U.S.-Russia arms treaty? Can the tactical and surplus strategic nuclear warheads that have so far escaped controls be brought into such a framework? Can a modus vivendi be reached between the two countries on missile defense? And what of multilateral accords on nuclear testing and production of fissile materials for nuclear weapons? Pifer and O'Hanlon concisely frame the issues, the background, and the choices facing the president; provide practical policy recommendations, and put it all in clear and readable prose that will be easily understood by the layman.

A book for bobbin-lace makers who have already mastered basic, flat Honiton lace. This book continues to the next stage, demonstrating many of the more advanced raised techniques, by means of six designs with detailed working instructions and diagrams. Six patterns designed by the author, or adapted from traditional sources, accompanied by very full and detailed working instructions, and supported by diagrams. The photographs of each of the finished pieces are magnified to show as much detail as possible. Each pattern is followed by a discussion of the working methods used, and of the ways these can be adapted and applied in other circumstances.

This book shows how joint working in companies can be fundamentally improved and modernised. After all, wherever people work together, communicate with each other and make themselves understood, there is potential for further development and joint growth. With 50 hacks - formats, methods and approaches from innovative companies and new work contexts - the authors provide a tool that can immediately bring about small and large changes in any company. With apt examples, they explain their ideas in a lively way and give tips on how best to make the introduction work. In this way, they encourage people to question their own working methods and to try out innovative and fun formats through new impulses. This book is suitable for everyone who is curious to find out how simple hacks can be used to actively improve the future of work in the here and now, as well as for managers, HR departments and motivated employees who want to make a difference. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition New Work Hacks by & Anna Schnell & Nils Schnell, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.

In his new collection of essays, Bateson, author of the enormously influential book Steps to an Ecology of Mind, takes readers further along the pathways by which he arrived at his now-famous synthesis, and continues to illuminate such diverse fields as biology, anthropology, psychiatry, and linguistics.
