Volker Bach - Böcker

In international culinary history, Germany is still largely a blank space, its unparalleled wealth of source material and large body of published research available only to readers of German. This books aims to give everybody else an overview of German foodways at a crucial juncture in its history. The Reformation era, broadly speaking from the Imperial Reforms of the 1480s to the beginning of the Thirty Years’ War, laid the foundations for many developments in German culture, language, and history, not least the notion of its existence as a country. Understanding the food traditions and habits of the time is important to anyone studying Germany’s culinary history and identity. Using original source material, food production, processing and consumption are explored with a view to the social significance of food and the practicalities of feeding a growing population. Food habits across the social spectrum are presented, looking at the foodways of rich and poor in city and country. The study shows a foodscape richly differentiated by region, class, income, gender and religion, but united by a shared culinary identity that was just beginning to emerge. An appendix of recipes helps the reader gain an appreciation of the practical aspects of food in the age of Martin Luther.

This book provides a broad description of the development and (computational) application of many-electron approaches from a multidisciplinary perspective.

This book provides a broad description of the development and (computational) application of many-electron approaches from a multidisciplinary perspective. In the context of studying many-electron systems Computer Science, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics are all intimately interconnected. However, beyond a handful of communities working at the interface between these disciplines, there is still a marked separation of subjects. This book seeks to offer a common platform for possible exchanges between the various fields and to introduce the reader to perspectives for potential further developments across the disciplines. The rapid advances of modern technology will inevitably require substantial improvements in the approaches currently used, which will in turn make exchanges between disciplines indispensable. In essence this book is one of the very first attempts at an interdisciplinary approach to the many-electron problem.

This title provides help in selecting methods and software tools. Particular emphasis is placed on the link between methods and software tools. This is significant not only for users, but should become a critical success factor for method and tool developers in theory and practice. Numerous tables and figures augment the presentation and provide additional information. Each method and tool description contains a summary table of the most important features and evaluation results. Examples of documents and graphic presentation of the procedural model illustrate the method description. For each of the software tools evaluated, one or two screen shots provide an impression of the graphic model representation and the user interface.

Der St. Galler Ansatz zum Business Knowledge Management fuhrt Erfahrungen aus zahlreichen Praxisprojekten zusammen: Sechs detaillierte Fallstudien aus Industrie und Handel sowie Finanz- und Informationsdienstleistung zeigen, wie Unternehmen durch Wissensmanagement ihre Kundenorientierung, Innovationsgeschwindigkeit und Prozesseffizienz verbessern. Gemeinsam ist allen Losungen, dass sie die Potentiale von Internet-, Dokumenten- und Workflowmanagement-Technologie konsequent in geschaftlichen Nutzen umsetzen. Das auf diesen Praxiserfahrungen basierende Gesamtmodell zeigt das Zusammenspiel von Fuhrung, Wissensflussen zwischen Geschaftsprozessen, integrierten Arbeitsplatzen und Massnahmen zur dauerhaften Verankerung von Wissensmanagement im Unternehmen. Weitere Beitrage schaffen Ubersicht im Markt fur "Knowledge-Tools" und stellen ein strukturiertes Projektvorgehen fur die Einfuhrung Intranet-basierten Wissensmanagement vor.

Volker Bach fuhrt Konzepte aus dem Kundenbeziehungs-, Wissens- und Personalmanagement mit dem Prozessentwurf und der Intranet- und Oberflachengestaltung zusammen und prasentiert Entwurfstechniken insbesondere fur Rollen, Leistungssysteme und Kanalorganisationen.
