Johan Galtung, one of the founders of modern peace studies, describes his reason for writing this book as a `systematic effort to give a theoretical foundation for peace research, peace education and peace action’. As such, it provides a wide-ranging panorama of the ideas, theories and assumptions on which the study of peace is based.Two definitions of peace underlie the book. The first definition of peace is dynamic: `the state of affairs that makes the nonviolent and creative handling of conflict possible’. The second definition is static: `an absence of direct, structural and cu

Computational resources have developed to the level that, for the first time, it is becoming possible to apply large-eddy simulation (LES) to turbulent flow problems of realistic complexity. Many examples can be found in technology and in a variety of natural flows. This puts issues related to assessing, assuring, and predicting the quality of LES into the spotlight. Several LES studies have been published in the past, demonstrating a high level of accuracy with which turbulent flow predictions can be attained, without having to resort to the excessive requirements on computational resources i

Many products of medieval and renaissance culture – literature, music, political ideology, social and governmental structures, the fine arts, forms of devotional piety, and also the social, political and literary self-representation of rulers – found their best expression in the context of the courts of greater and lesser princes. This second volume on princes and princely culture between 1450 and 1650 – the first was published in 2003 as volume 118/1 in this series – contains twelve essays. These are focused on England under Edward IV, Henrys VII and VIII, Elizabeth I, and under James

`Clive Dimmock and Allan Walker’s books is a valuable addition to the overcrowded literature on leadership. This is a useful and important book because citizenship, globalization and the tensions with nationality should be the concern of all who lead any school; even monofaith, monoethic and monolingual schools’ - Tim Brighouse, TES Friday ’The authors offer a rigorous and systematic analysis based on careful definition, illustration and discussion which demonstrates the importance of understanding culture, leadership and their interaction in different contexts: in doing so t
