14. 'Die Gefangenen leiden sehr unter ihrer Lage' : Die Betreuung deutscher NS-Täter durch Hans Stempel und Theodor Friedrich

Author

Nicholas John Williams and Nicholas John Williams

Abstract

Nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs setzten sich, neben vielen anderen, auch evangelische Theologen für NS-Täter ein. Was mit Seelsorge in den Internierungslagern in Deutschland und Kriegsgefangenenlagern im Ausland begann, wurde nach und nach zu einer umfangreichen Struktur nicht nur zur seelsorgerlichen Begleitung, sondern auch zur materiellen, rechtlichen, diplomatischen und politischen Unterstützung. Von dieser profitierten sowohl unter Anklage stehende wie auch bereits verurteilte NS-Täter. Die Evangelische Kirche der Pfalz, und vor allem deren Präsident von 1946 (1948) bis 1964, Hans Stempel, sowie dessen enger Vertrauter, Theodor Friedrich, spielten hierbei eine tragende Rolle. Hans Stempel wurde so eine zentrale Figur in einem Netzwerk, das sowohl öffentlich wie auch diskret im Hintergrund agierte, und das insbesondere in Frankreich erhebliche Wirkung entfalten konnte. Nicholas John Williams untersucht die Genese und Motive dieses Engagements.

Subjects
Eels--Juvenile literature
Abstract

This fourth installment in the hilarious and highly illustrated full-color Superpower Field Guide series features Olenka, an ordinary eel. Olenka may be slimy, wiggly, and the color of mud, but never, ever underestimate an eel.Meet Olenka, an ordinary eel. Did I hear you say, “But aren't eels just long slippery slimy fishy-things that... hmm.... Is there anything else to know about eels?” You bet your buttons there is!Sit back and hold on tight, because Olenka is going to amaze you with superpowers such as double invisibility and shape-shifting, and the super secret Lair of the Abyss (that means a top-secret deep-sea hideout). In fact, Olenka's life is so impossibly extraordinary, it has baffled the smartest scientists in the world for thousands of years. “Impossible!” you say. I say,'you don't know eels.'But you will.

16. Operator Analysis : Hilbert Space Methods in Complex Analysis

Author

Jim Agler, John Edward McCarthy, Nicholas John Young, Jim Agler, John Edward McCarthy, and Nicholas John Young

Subjects
Holomorphic functions, Operator theory, Hilbert space, Geometric function theory
Abstract

This book shows how operator theory interacts with function theory in one and several variables. The authors develop the theory in detail, leading the reader to the cutting edge of contemporary research. It starts with a treatment of the theory of bounded holomorphic functions on the unit disc. Model theory and the network realization formula are used to solve Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problems, and the same techniques are shown to work on the bidisc, the symmetrized bidisc, and other domains. The techniques are powerful enough to prove the Julia-Carathéodory theorem on the bidisc, Lempert's theorem on invariant metrics in convex domains, the Oka extension theorem, and to generalize Loewner's matrix monotonicity results to several variables. In Part II, the book gives an introduction to non-commutative function theory, and shows how model theory and the network realization formula can be used to understand functions of non-commuting matrices.

17. Traffic Safety Culture : Definition, Foundation, and Application

Author

Nicholas John Ward, Barry Watson, Katie Fleming-Vogl, Nicholas John Ward, Barry Watson, and Katie Fleming-Vogl

Subjects
Traffic safety, Traffic accidents
Abstract

This reference book provides traffic safety researchers and practitioners with an international and multi-disciplinary compendium of theoretical and methodological chapters. Together, these chapters discuss the research and application of “Traffic Safety Culture” as an important approach to traffic safety, including the vision of zero traffic fatalities and serious injuries. Traffic crashes are a significant cause of death and debilitating injury worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Whereas most traditional safety efforts teach safe behavior (education), punish risky behavior (enforcement), or design the environment to minimize crash injury resulting from those behaviors (engineering), there is also the need to understand the culture of our social environments that influence our concern for traffic safety and choice of behaviors. As a result, there is growing interest in the concept of Traffic Safety Culture. However, this concept is relatively new and is not yet supported by a robust theoretical foundation or amassed large body of research. The goal of this book is to create a theoretical foundation and methodological framework for using traffic safety culture, including the discussion of best practices for developing, implementing and evaluating culture-based strategies.

18. An Introduction to Educational Computing

Author

Nicholas John Rushby and Nicholas John Rushby

Subjects
Computer-assisted instruction
Abstract

In both education and training, teachers are faced with many and varied problems relating to their teaching and their students'learning. Educational technology, in its widest sense, provides teachers with methods and tools which, if properly used, can alleviate some of these problems. The computer is one such tool, offering, within certain limitations, some possible solutions.Originally published in 1979, this book describes the use of the computer as a resource and as a manager in education and training. It discusses the use, potential and limitations of this technology in helping the teacher and trainer. Beginning with a consideration of the role of the computer as a mediator in the flow of information between the student and his learning environment, the book goes on to look at Computer Assisted Learning from an educational viewpoint, the strength and weaknesses of a number of different media, and the problems of managing modular courses and course structures and handling information on students'performance and progress.A chapter on informatics and education addresses the problem of what both teachers and students should know about computers, while the final chapter examines the practical problems of prompting and organising the appropriate use of this technology.

26. Secrecy and the Media : The Official History of the United Kingdom's D-Notice System

Author

Nicholas John Wilkinson and Nicholas John Wilkinson

Subjects
National security--Law and legislation--Great Britain, Official secrets--Great Britain, Executive privilege (Government information)--Great Britain, Freedom of the press--Great Britain, Censorship--Great Britain
Abstract

Secrecy and the Media is the first book to examine the development of the D-Notice system, which regulates the UK media's publication of British national security secrets. It is based on official documents, many of which have not previously been available to a general audience, as well as on media sources.From Victorian times, British governments have consistently seen the need, in the public interest, to prevent the media publishing secret information which would endanger national security. The UK media have meanwhile continuously resisted official attempts to impose any form of censorship, arguing that a free press is in the public interest. Both sides have normally seen the pitfalls of attempting to resolve this sometimes acrimonious conflict of interests by litigation, and have together evolved a system of editorial self-regulation, assisted by day-to-day independent expert advice, known colloquially as the D-Notice System. The book traces the development of this system from nineteenth-century colonial campaigns, through two world wars, to modern operations and counter-terrorism in the post-Cold War era, up to the beginning of the Labour government in 1997. Examples are drawn from media, political and official sources (some not yet open), and cover not only defence issues (including Special Forces), but also the activities of the secret intelligence services MI5, MI6 and GCHQ. These cases relate principally to the UK, but also to American and other allies'interests. The story of how this sometimes controversial institution now operates in the modern world will be essential reading for those in the media and government departments, and for academics and students in the fields of security, defence and intelligence, as well as being an accessible exposé for the general reader.Nicholas Wilkinson served in the Royal Navy 1959-98, and from 1999 to 2004 he ran the independent Defence, Press and Broadcasting Advisory Committee. He was a Press Complaints Commissioner from 2005 to 2008, and is a Cabinet Office Historian.
