Discovering The Folklore of Plants Bloomsbury Publishing

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

To primitive man the whisper and movement of leaves and the silent unfolding of flowers were proofs of life and power, and their regeneration was a promise of nature's continuity. Cures, magic, divination and portents were all connected with the rich variety of available plant life, especially in verdant Britain. Some of these beliefs were astonishingly long-lasting and, even if an altered or faded form, have survived the sophistications of modern life, as this book sets out to show. This volume is arranged in alphabetical order and is illustrated with engravings from old herbals.'

Machinery and Energy Systems for the Hydrogen Economy Elsevier - Health Sciences Division

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The hydrogen economy and its technology needs are a relevant topic of significant economic, political, and academic interest in the movement toward the decarbonization of the energy and transportation sectors.  To meet the production, transportation, storage, and usage needs for a properly functioning hydrogen economy, significant infrastructure changes will be required.  This includes machinery such as compressors, turbines, pumps and heat engines (e.g. gas turbines and piston engines) that are very different from the types currently installed on pipelines, trucks, barges, and in power plants.  For hydrogen to be a viable energy carrier in the future economy, the machinery and power cycles must operate efficiently, reliably and, most importantly, must be economically viable. Machinery and Energy Systems for the Hydrogen Economy guides the reader through all major machinery and heat engine types, designs, and requirements for the hydrogen economy, from production through storage, distribution, and consumption.  Topics such as hydrogen in pipeline transport, for energy storage, and as a power plant fuel will be covered in significant detail.  Hydrogen machinery applications, their selection criteria, economics, safety aspects, and operational limitation in the different sectors of the hydrogen economy will also be discussed. Although the book broadly covers the hydrogen economy as a whole, the primary focus is on the machinery and heat engines design and implementation within the various production, transport, storage, and usage applications. An invaluable resource for industry, academia, and government, Machinery and Energy Systems for the Hydrogen Economy provides engineers, scientists, and technical leaders with the knowledge they need to design and build the infrastructure of a hydrogen economy. The new edition updates the award-winning first edition in all aspects of sequence stratigraphy, from the underlying theory to the practical applications Key new topics include the standard approach to sequence stratigraphic methodology, nomenclature, and classification; the role of modeling in sequence stratigraphy, and the difference between modeling and methodology; the issue of scale and stratigraphic resolution The three-dimensional nature of the stratigraphic architecture, and the variability of stratigraphic sequences with the tectonic setting, depositional setting, and the climatic regime All concepts are illustrated with numerous high-quality diagrams, outcrop photographs, and subsurface borehole and seismic data

Energy Democracy Springer International Publishing AG

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

This book outlines how Germans convinced their politicians to pass laws allowing citizens to make their own energy, even when it hurt utility companies to do so. It traces the origins of the Energiewende movement in Germany from the Power Rebels of Schönau to German Chancellor Angela Merkel's shutdown of eight nuclear power plants following the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident. The authors explore how, by taking ownership of energy efficiency at a local level, community groups are key actors in the bottom-up fight against climate change. Individually, citizens might install solar panels on their roofs, but citizen groups can do much more: community wind farms, local heat supply, walkable cities and more. This book offers evidence that the transition to renewables is a one-time opportunity to strengthen communities and democratize the energy sector - in Germany and around the world.

Deutschsprachige Presse 2 vols Saur Verlag KG

Inne 1

Paparazzi or investigative journalists? Aside from such slogans, the role of the press is much discussed and very controversial. However, its importance - and its status as an instance of power in society - is widely accepted. Finally, the people themselves are crucial; those who follow critically events in politics, culture, the economy and society, and convey them to the public. This biographical encyclopaedia presents more than 7,000 persons from the media, publicist circles and the press, who were active in the German cultural area, from the 17th century up to the present. Besides journalists and publishers, the broad selection also covers editors, critics, press photographers, illustrators, caricaturists, the owners of printing plants, and professionals dealing with reader circles and sales, as well as scholars studying the press. The articles provide information on the dates of life and death, biographical background, education and professional career of the persons recorded. 207 detailed articles have been written and signed by experts. Access to the entries is facilitated by an index of German-language printed media, showing which newspapers and journals the recorded individuals worked for. Die deutschsprachige Presse contains biographical articles about well-known publishers such as Karl Gerold, Marion Gräfin Dönhoff, Axel Springer or Rudolf Augstein. Naturally, music, art, literature, theatre and film critics like Ludwig Börne, Eduard Hanslick, Alfred Kerr or Joachim Ernst Berendt are represented. But the group is much larger: many individuals who became famous in other contexts, worked at least occasionally as journalists, including the likes of Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, Karl Philipp Moritz, Robert Schumann and Theodor Fontane. Moritz von Schwind and George Grosz, for example, worked as illustrators. Further, scientists from a variety disciplines can be found: the philosopher Walter Benjamin and the sociologists Siegfried Kracauer and Theodor W. Adorno, along with Emil Dovifat, a scholar of journalism, and the literary scholar Hans Mayer. With politics there are many points of contact. Journalists and publicists act not only as critical observers but also as participants. Melchior von Grimm, for example, known primarily for his involvement with the

Abstrakt Zermatt Steidl Publishers

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

In the valleys, from the high summits that surround Zermatt, the gigantic movement of the glacier is frozen, like anirreversible snapshot. Here, the seasons pass one after the other, but have no power over a history that has fallen topieces. The rare human silhouettes and colour are incorporated into this immobile flux like annexes to the autarkicoxygen of Zermatt as a place. The imprint of plants appears to be mineral and gigantic, the summits and perspectivesare turned upside down, the immobility of stone and ice resembles a fossilized tumult, a flow of ages. The almost totaleffacing of intention in these photographs lets other things appear-as if by imposition-in the glacial mist or the pastelintoxicated by altitude: a form of nature in which texture and matter take on the aspect of puzzles, fractals, theinterweaving of crystals and of gypsum.These ups and downs of mute logic and unthought-of mirror-games have laid down their principles for the compositionof a book, reinforcing this choice by using over-aged rolls of film whose texture, matured by the coldness of wintrymountains, has worked alone, with its specifically intimate process. Since the image has been captured in this form ofwithdrawal, its pictorial force comes across as a natural element: a contemplated, integral secret.
