Advanced Database Indexing begins by introducing basic material on storage media, including magnetic disks, RAID systems and tertiary storage such as optical disk and tapes. Typical access methods (e.g. B+ trees, dynamic hash files and secondary key retrieval) are also introduced. The remainder of the book discusses recent advances in indexing and access methods for particular database applications. More specifically, issues such as external sorting, file structures for intervals, temporal access methods, spatial and spatio-temporal indexing, image and multimedia indexing, perfect external has

"The State of European Integration" provides scholars, practitioners, experts and students with a comprehensive account of the state of the European Union (EU) today. With contributions from leading scholars, this book examines the EU in a theoretically informed and empirically grounded manner. Beginning with an exploration into the nature of the European Union as an international actor, it moves on to assess the impact of enlargement on institutions, policies and identity. Furthermore, after investigating issues related to the degree of convergence and cohesion among members, it analyzes the

This volume reflects a recognition that globalization is leading to fundamental changes in world order, creating new imperatives and requiring new ways of understanding the international system. Two of the most important actors in the contemporary international system are the United States and Europe and their relationship is fundamental in shaping international order. This volume: deals with issues that transcend national and cultural boundaries; covers areas such as international terrorism and intelligence, sovereignty and democracy and institutions and international organizations; and, anal

Yannis Stavrakakis moves beyond the standard discussion of the Lacanian concept of the subject in a socio-political context, toward an analysis of the objective side of human experience. In the first part of Lacan and the Political, the author highlights Lacan’s innovative understanding of the sociopolitical field and offers a straightforward and systematic assessment of the importance of Lanca’s categories and theoretical construction for concrete political analysis. The second half of he book applies Lacanian theory to specific examples of widely discussed political issues, suc
