The articulation between persistence and change is relevant to a great number of different disciplines. It is particularly central to the study of urban and rural forms in many different fields of research, in geography, archaeology, architecture and history. Resilience puts forward the idea that we can no longer be truly satisfied with the common approaches used to study the dynamics of landscapes, such as the palimpsest approach, the regressive method and the semiological analysis amongst others, because they are based on the separation between the past and the present, which itself stems from the differentiation between nature and society.
This book combines spatio-temporalities, as described in archeogeography, with concepts that have been developed in the field of ecological resilience, such as panarchy and the adaptive cycle. Thus revived, the morphological analysis in this work considers landscapes as complex resilient adaptive systems.
The permanence observed in landscapes is no longer presented as the endurance of inherited forms, but as the result of a dynamic that is fed by this constant dialogue between persistence and change. Thus, resilience is here decisively on the side of dynamics rather than that of resistance.

Zu Beginn der 2020er-Jahre hat die digitale Transformation unseren Alltag und fast alle Bereiche von Wirtschaft und Verwaltung erreicht. Die Informationsgesellschaft ist eine selbstverst?ndliche Realit?t geworden. Die sozio-?konomische Bedeutung der Internet-basierten Systeme und der »Elektronengehirne« ist vergleichbar mit der Bedeutung der gro?en Entdeckungen der Renaissancezeit und anderen epochalen Entwicklungen wie der Weltraumfahrt, der Nutzung der Atomenergie, oder auch den Erfindungen von Eisenbahn und Automobil. Dieser Bericht vom Werden unserer Informationsgesellschaft basiert auf den Erinnerungen eines Vertreters der »Generation X«, die erlebt hat, wie in circa 40 Jahren das private, berufliche und ?ffentliche Leben vom Gebrauch des sogenannten »Netzes« und der Mensch-Maschine-Symbiose immer mehr – sowohl positiv als auch negativ – gepr?gt wurde. Georg Rainer Hofmann, einer der Aktivisten dieser Entwicklung in Deutschland, zeichnet in einem komplexen Bild die technischen, ?komischen, sozio-politischen, und auch ethisch-philosophischen Hintergr?nde und Herausforderungen. Ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Geschichte unserer digitalen Welt. Mit einem Geleitwort von Alexander Rabe und mit Beitr?gen von: Wolfgang Alm, Bernd Becker, Christof Blum, Ralf Cordes, Peter Egloff, Jos? Luis Encarna??o, Lucia Falkenberg, Andreas Hufgard, Andreas Kindt, Richard Knapp, G?nter Koch, Detlef Kr?mker, Guerino Mazzola, Radu Popescu-Zeletin, Olaf Reubold, Gerd Rossbach, Gerd Sch?rmann, Hans-Georg Stark, Harald Summa, Rainer Thome, Thomas Wolf, Ruben Zimmermann.

This book is entirely devoted to discrete time and provides a detailed introduction to the construction of the rigorous mathematical tools required for the evaluation of options in financial markets. Both theoretical and practical aspects are explored through multiple examples and exercises, for which complete solutions are provided. Particular attention is paid to the Cox, Ross and Rubinstein model in discrete time.

The book offers a combination of mathematical teaching and numerous exercises for wide appeal. It is a useful reference for students at the master’s or doctoral level who are specializing in applied mathematics or finance as well as teachers, researchers in the field of economics or actuarial science, or professionals working in the various financial sectors.

Martingales and Financial Mathematics in Discrete Time is also for anyone who may be interested in a rigorous and accessible mathematical construction of the tools and concepts used in financial mathematics, or in the application of the martingale theory in finance
