Indien bliver blandt de toneangivende nationer i det 21. århundrede; politisk, økonomisk og kulturelt. Alligevel er fortællingen om Indien ofte hjemsøgt af fortidens spøgelser; enten fanget i et spind af orientalsk mystik, med tilhørende yogier, guruer og fakirer på sømmåtter, eller et land, fattig og forarmet og bundkorrupt, med kvinder og kasteløse fanget på bunden. Brudstykker af det moderne Indien bidrager til en mere nuanceret forståelse af Indien, og til at skærpe interessen for et land, som vi har al mulig grund til at beskæftige os med. Bogen er skrevet af en fagmand i et formidlingsvenligt sprog. Den henvender sig til enhver, som ønsker at blive klogere på Indien, dét være sig turister og erhvervsfolk klar til afrejse, studerende på gymnasie- og universitetsniveau og alle andre, som ønsker at forstå, hvad der rører sig i landet, der bliver toneangivende i det 21. århundrede.

Fysioterapeutisk undersøgelse er en grundbog, der giver en samlet præsentation af den fysioterapeutiske undersøgelse – fra teori til praksis. Bogen bygger på nyeste viden og evidens, og den beskriver det videnskabsteoretiske afsæt, alle de vigtigste elementer i den fysioterapeutiske undersøgelse samt en bred vifte af cases fra praksis.Bogens målgruppe er primært studerende og nyuddannede fysioterapeuter, og den giver en pædagogisk og systematisk præsentation af fysioterapien som fag og praksis. Bogen kan læses i rækkefølge fra start til slut for en grundlæggende indføring, men kan med fordel også anvendes som opslagsværk efter behov.Fysioterapeutisk undersøgelse giver studerende og undervisere et godt afsæt til at opbygge viden og kompetencer. Uden at komplicere fysioterapien unødigt introducerer bogen til undersøgelsesmetoder på en simpel måde, som kan hjælpe især fysioterapeutstuderende med at danne sig et nødvendigt overblik over de metoder og færdigheder, der er mest relevante i mødet med patienter og borgere, som skal undersøges og diagnosticeres.

Reconceptualizing the Archaeology of Southern India presents a paradigm shift in the long-term study of South India's deep history and embraces a new historiography of the Deccan that interrogates the archaeological and textual records.

This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Conference on Scale-Space Theories in Computer Vision, Scale-Space'99, held in Corfu, Greece, in September 1999.The 36 revised full papers and the 18 revised posters presented in the book were carefully reviewed and selected from 66 high-quality submissions. The book addresses all current aspects of this young and active field, in particular geometric Image flows, nonlinear diffusion, functional minimization, linear scale-space, etc.

Gaussian scale-space is one of the best understood multi-resolution techniques available to the computer vision and image analysis community. It is the purpose of this book to guide the reader through some of its main aspects. During an intensive weekend in May 1996 a workshop on Gaussian scale-space theory was held in Copenhagen, which was attended by many of the leading experts in the field. The bulk of this book originates from this workshop. Presently there exist only two books on the subject. In contrast to Lindeberg's monograph (Lindeberg, 1994e) this book collects contributions from several scale- space researchers, whereas it complements the book edited by ter Haar Romeny (Haar Romeny, 1994) on non-linear techniques by focusing on linear diffusion. This book is divided into four parts. The reader not so familiar with scale-space will find it instructive to first consider some potential applications described in Part 1. Parts II and III both address fundamental aspects of scale-space. Whereas scale is treated as an essentially arbitrary constant in the former, the latter em- phasizes the deep structure, i.e. the structure that is revealed by varying scale. Finally, Part IV is devoted to non-linear extensions, notably non-linear diffusion techniques and morphological scale-spaces, and their relation to the linear case.
