In New Scandinavian design, design journalist Katherine E. Nelson pairs with designer Raul Cabra to produce a comprehensive survey of cutting-edge Scandinavian design, delving deep and taking a critical look at the exciting contemporary work from the northern countries. Central to the endeavour was the question posed to hundreds of designers, curators, policy makers and entrepreneurs: is there still such a thing as Scandinavian design? Featuring examples of contemporary furniture, housewares, textiles, consumer electronics and lighting.
Design and Agency brings together leading international design scholars and practitioners to address the concept of agency in relation to objects, organisations and people. The authors set out to expand the scope of design history and practice, avoiding the heroic narratives of a typical modernist approach. They consider both how the agents of design construct and express their identities and subjectivities through practice, while also investigating the distinctive contribution of design in the construction of individual identity and subjectivity. Individual chapters explore notions of agency in a range of design disciplines and historical periods, including the agency of women in effecting ...
Swedish-Chilean designer Anton Alvarez has developed a machine that spins thousands of meters of brightly colored thread around pieces of wood and metal to join them, producing solid benches, stools, lamps and monumental sculptures without traditional joints of any kind. A well illustrated publication on the Stockholm-based designer, featuring hundreds of photographs, traces the process and evolution of his thread-wrapping technique. Alvarezs work, a mixture of his native Chilean roots and the minimal lines of European design, focuses on the systems and the creation of tools that enable the construction of these fascinating pieces. Recognized and exhibited internationally, Alvarez has shown at MUDAC, Switzerland, the Design Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum, London. Through photos, interviews and essays, this unique construction method unfolds. Essay by UglyCute founder Andreas N obel and foreword by legendary British artist and curator Richard Wentworth.
Die Zeitschrift "De Processibus Matrimonialibus" ist die derzeit einzige Fachzeitschrift zu Fragen des Kanonischen Ehe- und Prozessrechtes im deutschsprachigen Raum. Die Beiträge entstammen der jährlichen Veranstaltung "De Processibus Matrimonialibus", kurz "DPM". "De Processibus Matrimonialibus" wurde 1994 von Prof. Dr. Dr. Elmar Güthoff und PD Dr. Karl-Heinz Selge als wissenschaftliche Fortbildung für Mitarbeiter*innen kirchlicher Gerichte ins Leben gerufen. Inzwischen dient DPM auch der wissenschaftlichen Fortbildung von Kirchenrechtler*innen, Theolog*innen und Jurist*innen, der Förderung von Nachwuchswissenschaftler*innen sowie dem Austausch zwischen Wissenschaft und Praxis. Die Internationalität der Referent*innen und des Publikums, welche unterschiedlichen Einrichtungen angehören, wie z.B. kirchlichen Gerichten, kurialen Behörden oder Universitäten, bringt einen immensen Austausch um neue Aspekte im Hinblick auf die Gerichtspraxis sowie Forschung und Lehre mit sich, weshalb insbesondere auch Nachwuchswissenschaftler*innen von den Beiträgen profitieren können.

In 1989 Michael Bishop and Harold Varmus were awarded the Nobel Prize for their discovery that normal genes under certain conditions can cause cancer. In this book, Bishop tells us how he and Varmus made their momentous discovery. More than a lively account of the making of a brilliant scientist, How to Win the Nobel Prize is also a broader narrative combining two major and intertwined strands of medical history: the long and ongoing struggles to control infectious diseases and to find and attack the causes of cancer. Alongside his own story, that of a youthful humanist evolving into an ambivalent medical student, an accidental microbiologist, and finally a world-class researcher, Bishop giv...
Vol. for 1901 has a sketch of Alfred Nobel and his works, by P. T. Cleve.
I am appealing to my Jewish brothers and sisters to help me right some wrongs before we all pay for them. History records how Jews have been persecuted but never really say why. I am telling you why. It is because of the greed of the Jewish power brokers and the discrimination by the rest of us. Here I track a crime family to America and reveal how they took over our money (via the Federal reserve and world banks). They control the media. They control the White House, Congress, and even your life. They assassinated both JFK and RFK, and will kill anyone else who stands up to them. In Oregon, they murdered James Ross and Michael Francke to silence them. That makes me a dead man. I also address Global warming, cosmology, treason, and a lot of other things you thought you knew. This book is enlightening, but it is also shocking. If we sit back and do nothing, we will all pay. History has proven that. Please help.
Wer und was ist der Priester? Welche Formate seiner Aus- und Weiterbildung sind unter den aktuellen Bedingungen der kirchlichen Situation unersetzbar? Wie kann sich priesterliche Existenz und der darin wurzelnde Dienst durch eine notwendige Reform in einer authentischeren Weise verwirklichen? Welche Auswirkungen haben diese Überlegungen generell auf die Priester- und Theologenausbildung? Motiviert durch die neue universalkirchliche Grundordnung der Priesterausbildung ( Ratio Fundamentalis) aus dem Jahre 2016 standen diese Fragen im Mittelpunkt der interdisziplinären Kirchenrecht-Tagung in Trier im Februar 2018. Die Vorträge und Impulsreferate sowie einige eigens für die Publikation verfasste Beiträge werden mit diesem Band vorgelegt.
