For all the wrong reasons, a national spotlight is shining on Chicago. The city has become known for its violence, police abuse, parent and teacher unrest, population decline, and mounting municipal and pension debt. The underlying problem, contend Ed Bachrach and Austin Berg, is that deliberative democracy is dead in the city. Chicago is home to the last strongman political system in urban America. The mayor holds all the power, and any perceived checks on mayoral control are often proven illusory. Rash decisions have resulted in poor outcomes. The outrageous consequences of unchecked power are evident in government failures in elections, schools, fiscal discipline, corruption, public support for private enterprise, policing, and more.   Rather than simply lament the situation, criticize specific leaders, or justify an ideology, Bachrach and Berg compare the decisions about Chicago’s governance and finances with choices made in fourteen other large U.S. cities. The problems that seem unique to Chicago have been encountered elsewhere, and Chicagoans, the authors posit, can learn from the successful solutions other cities have embraced.   Chicago government and its citizens must let go of the past to prepare for the future, argue Bachrach and Berg. A future filled with demographic, technological, and economic change requires a government capable of responding and adapting. Reforms can transform the city. The prescriptions for change provided in this book point toward a hopeful future: the New Chicago Way.

It is with great pleasure that I am writing the preface for my little book, "Starting with the Unit Circle", in the office of Springer Verlag in Heidel­ berg. This is symbolic of the fact that I have once again joined in the main­ stream of scientific exchange between East and West. Since the establishment of the People's Republic of China, I have written "An Introduction to Number Theory" for the young people studying Number Theory: for the young people studying algebra, Prof. Wan Zhe-xian (Wan Che-hsien) and I have written "Classical Groups"; for those studying the theory of functions of several complex variables, I have written "Har­ monic Analysis of Functions of Several Complex Variables in the Classical Domains", * and for university students I have written "Introduction to Higher Mathematics". The present volume had been written for those who were beginning to engage in research at the Chinese University of Science and Technology and at the Guangdong Zhongshan University. Its purpose is none other than to make the students see the crucial ideas in their simplest manifestations, so that when they go on to the more complex parts of modem mathematics, they will not be without guidance. For example, in the first chapter when I point out that the Poisson kernel is just the Jacobian of some transformation, I am merely revealing the source of one of the main tools in my work on harmonic analysis in the classical domains.

Neuware -Am Ende des Sommers 1846 macht sich Henry David Thoreau auf in den Norden. Was als Reise beginnt, mit Eisenbahn und Dampfschiff, setzt sich auf Pferd und Wagen, im Kanu und schließlich zu Fuß fort und wird nach und nach zu einer Expedition. Sein Ziel: 'Der große Berg', 1606 Meter hoch, der höchste Punkt von Maine - Ktaadn, wie er in der Sprache der Ureinwohner heißt. Der Weg führt durch unkartiertes Gebiet, durch eine labyrinthische Landschaft von Seen und Flüssen und die ausgedehnten Wälder einer weitgehend unberührten und unwegsamen Natur. Die Grenzen menschlicher Lebensräume sind bald überschritten, es geht tiefer und tiefer in die Wildnis. Die letzten Zeichen der Zivilisation, vom Alkohol zugrunde gerichtete Indianer, die Spuren der Holzfäller und Pelzhändler, zeugen von Gier und Zerstörungswut. Und doch erscheint Thoreau die Natur in ihrer ganzen Vielfalt und Ausdehnung davon unberührt und gleichgültig - gleichgültig auch gegenüber den Fragen, die sich dem stellen, der sich ihr ungeschützt aussetzt: 'Wer sind wir Wo sind wir ' 160 pp. Deutsch

Trekkingtour durch Nepal und Tibet Obwohl jedes Jahr einige Tausend Touristen Nepal und Tibet bereisen und einige davon auch die Kora (Pilgerweg) um den "Heiligen Berg" Kailash gehen, der am 5665 m hohen Dölma La seinen Höhepunkt erreicht, bleibt es für jeden einzelnen Bezwinger ein Abenteuer. Thomas Günther gibt seine Tagebuchaufzeichnungen in einem spannenden und unterhaltsamen Erlebnisbericht an seine Leser weiter.
