The Student City Strategic Planning for Student Communities in EU Cities

The Student City Strategic Planning for Student Communities in EU Cities

Student communities are without doubt a strategic resource for urban development and students are the citizens and the high-skilled working class of tomorrow. They are seen as an 'invisible population' with little say in local policy and decision-making. Co-operation between educational institutions and city planners is often missing and cities tend to neglect the universities' foreign relations. This volume argues that the importance of human capital in the competitiveness of cities demands pro-active integral city policies targeting this community. Bringing together nine case studies of European cities (Rotterdam Utrecht Eindhoven Munich Lyon Lille Venice Birmingham and Helsinki) it puts forward a comprehensive strategic plan of action aiming at the integration of student communities in urban development. The book analyses the essential characteristics of the relationship between students and their host communities as well as the role of higher education institutions and other actors in building the 'student friendly' city. | The Student City Strategic Planning for Student Communities in EU Cities

Military Occupations in First World War Europe

Military Occupations in First World War Europe

Our view of the First World War is dominated by the twin images of the fronts and the home fronts yet the war also generated a third type of ‘front’ that of military occupation. Vast areas of Europe experienced the war under a military regime and this book deals with the occupations by the German and Austro-Hungarian empires. Their conquests ranged from Lille in the West to the Don River in the East and from Courland in the north to Friuli and Montenegro in the south. They encompassed capital cities such as Brussels Warsaw Belgrade and Bukarest as well as areas of crucial economic importance. Millions of people experienced military occupation and even though they were civilians the war had a deep impact on their lives. Conversely occupied territories influenced the states that had conquered them and the way these states waged war. The chapters in this book analyze military occupation in 1914-1918 both from the point of view of the occupied and from the point of view of the occupier. They study counter-insurgency warfare forced labour food regimes underground patriotism and cultural policies. They demonstrate that military occupation was an essential dimension of the Great War. This book was originally published as a special issue of First World War Studies. | Military Occupations in First World War Europe

Philosophy of Mathematics Classic and Contemporary Studies

Philosophy of Mathematics Classic and Contemporary Studies

The philosophy of mathematics is an exciting subject. Philosophy of Mathematics: Classic and Contemporary Studies explores the foundations of mathematical thought. The aim of this book is to encourage young mathematicians to think about the philosophical issues behind fundamental concepts and about different views on mathematical objects and mathematical knowledge. With this new approach the author rekindles an interest in philosophical subjects surrounding the foundations of mathematics. He offers the mathematical motivations behind the topics under debate. He introduces various philosophical positions ranging from the classic views to more contemporary ones including subjects which are more engaged with mathematical logic. Most books on philosophy of mathematics have little to no focus on the effects of philosophical views on mathematical practice and no concern on giving crucial mathematical results and their philosophical relevance consequences reasons etc. This book fills this gap. The book can be used as a textbook for a one-semester or even one-year course on philosophy of mathematics. Other textbooks on the philosophy of mathematics are aimed at philosophers. This book is aimed at mathematicians. Since the author is a mathematician it is a valuable addition to the literature. Mark Balaguer California State University Los Angeles There are not many such texts available for mathematics students. I applaud efforts to foster the dialogue between mathematics and philosophy.

The Role of Taste in Kant's Theory of Cognition

The Role of Taste in Kant's Theory of Cognition

First published in 1990. This title originally a Ph. D. dissertation submitted to the Department of Philosophy at Harvard University in July 1988 grew out of an interest in the foundations of twentieth-century analytic philosophy. Believing that the idea of the primacy of judgment was an important one for understanding more recent issues in analytic philosophy the author started to think about its historical antecedents. By examining Kant’s Critique of Judgement Ginsborg explores the notion of a judgment of taste as a judgment which has intersubjective validity without being objectively valid and therefore bear’s directly on the notion of the primacy of judgment as an aspect of Kant's account of objectivity. This title will be of interest to students of philosophy. | The Role of Taste in Kant's Theory of Cognition

Gated Communities? Regulating Migration in Early Modern Cities

Gated Communities? Regulating Migration in Early Modern Cities

Contrary to earlier views of preindustrial Europe as an essentially sedentary society research over the past decades has amply demonstrated that migration was a pervasive characteristic of early modern Europe. In this volume the theme of urban migration is explored through a series of historical contexts journeying from sixteenth-century Antwerp Ulm Lille and Valenciennes through seventeenth-century Berlin Milan and Rome to eighteenth-century Strasbourg Trieste Paris and London. Each chapter demonstrates how the presence of diverse and often temporary groups of migrants was a core feature of everyday urban life which left important marks on the demographic economic social political and cultural characteristics of individual cities. The collection focuses on the interventions by urban authorities and institutions in a wide-ranging set of domains as they sought to stimulate channel and control the newcomers' movements and activities within the cities and across the cities' borders. While striving for a broad geographical and chronological coverage in a comparative perspective the volume aims to enhance our insight into the different factors that shaped urban migration policies in different European settings west of the Elbe. By laying bare the complex interactions of actors interests conflicts and negotiations involved in the regulation of migration the case studies shed light on the interrelations between burghership guilds relief arrangements and police in the incorporation of newcomers and in shaping the shifting boundaries between wanted and unwanted migrants. By relating to a common analytical framework presented in the introductory chapter they engage in a comparative discussion that allows for the formulation of general insights and the identification of long term transformations that transcend the time and place specificities of the case studies in question. The introduction and final chapters connect insights derived from the individual case-study chapters to present wide ranging conclusions that resonate with both historical and present-day debates on migration. | Gated Communities?

Random Circulant Matrices

Random Circulant Matrices

Circulant matrices have been around for a long time and have been extensively used in many scientific areas. This book studies the properties of the eigenvalues for various types of circulant matrices such as the usual circulant the reverse circulant and the k-circulant when the dimension of the matrices grow and the entries are random. In particular the behavior of the spectral distribution of the spectral radius and of the appropriate point processes are developed systematically using the method of moments and the various powerful normal approximation results. This behavior varies according as the entries are independent are from a linear process and are light- or heavy-tailed. Arup Bose obtained his B. Stat. M. Stat. and Ph.
