Sommario/riassunto |
|
From the thousands of children who work on plantations to the smallholders who harvest the beans, Chocolate Nations reveals the hard economic realities of our favourite sweet. This vivid and gripping exploration of the reasons behind farmer poverty includes the human stories of the producers and traders at the heart of the West African industry. Provocative and eye-opening, Chocolate Nations exposes the true story of how the treat we love makes it onto our supermarket shelves. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Workshop on Distributed Algorithms, WDAG '96, held in Bologna, Italy, in October 1996. The volume presents 21 revised full papers selected from 75 submissions together with invited contributions by Butler Lampson and Domenico Ferrari. The volume reflects the transition of the area from formerly being the domain of a small research community to becoming the dominant computing paradigm and an industrial technology. Among the topics covered are all current aspects of distributed algorithms ranging from theory to applications such as distributed intelligent agents. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book reproduces the complete extant correspondence between Emmy Noether and Helmut Hasse. There are 82 such letters, of which 79 are from Noether to Hasse, dating from 1925 until Noether's sudden death in 1935. The correspondence reflects a crucial period in the development of 20th century algebra and number theory, in particular class field theory. Details of proofs appear alongside with conjectures and speculations. Also discussed are questions of textbook presentation, e.g., of Galois theory. Aside from mathematical details, the spontaneity of Noether's style allows many glimpses at the image that Emmy Noether and Helmut Hasse had of the topics they were working in. The Hasse - Noether correspondence is a rich source for those who are interested in the rise and the development of mathematical notions and ideas. Each letter is accompanied by a detailed commentary supplied by the editors. For the convenience of the reader, numerous cross-references, extended indexes, and short biographies of all persons mentioned in the correspondence have been added. |
