Traces the history of the epic Berlin Airlift, the first Western victory of the Cold War.

The problems are systematically arranged to reveal the evolution of concepts and ideas of the subject Includes various levels of problems - some are easy and straightforward, while others are more challenging All problems are elegantly solved

Twenty-seven papers address applications of category theory in new domains as well as in its traditional contexts. Among the topics: a Stone duality for metric spaces; sheaves in cocomplete categories; completeness in continuity spaces; dualities for accessible categories; some problems in descriptive locale theory; modeling homotopy coherence; and functorial selection of morphisms.

Until recently, writings of a private nature have been neglected in literary and textual studies. There are two main reasons for this: the scarcity of pre-modern witnesses of this type of textual production and, in contrast, the over-abundance of material in contemporary writers' archives. Although in more recent times there has been a marked shift towards the study of private and personal writings, important issues remain to be studied. In the light of genetic criticism and in the context of the broadening attention of textual scholarship to all matters relating to textual production, these texts have acquired a new status, but the legal, philological and historical questions they raise have not been systematically addressed. The new interest of textual scholarship in the processes of creation and dissemination of texts offers an opportunity to reflect more thoroughly on the nature of these documents: on the role they play as witnesses to specific literary or para-literary genres (e.g. letters, diaries), on their significance in circumstances of political repression, and as part of the textual genetic process. This collection of essays includes articles that deal, through heterogeneous approaches, with different aspects of Dutch, English, French, Lithuanian, Portuguese and Spanish written cultures.

The technique of residues is known for its many applications in different branches of mathematics. Tsikh's book presents a systematic account of residues associated with holomorphic mappings and indicates many applications. The book begins with preliminaries from the theory of analytic sets, together with material from algebraic topology that is necessary for the integration of differential forms over chains. Tsikh then presents a detailed study of residues associated with mappings that preserve dimension (local residues). Local residues are applied to algebraic geometry and to problems connected with the investigation and calculation of double series and integrals. There is also a treatment of residues associated with mappings that reduce dimension - that is, residues of semimeromorphic forms, connected with integration over tubes around nondiscrete analytic sets.
