The first textbook to cover this exciting compound class, this introduction to the field of carbon nanotechnology discusses everything from nanowires to nanodiamonds, and from synthesis to applications. From the contents: * Carbon * Fullerenes * Carbon nanotubes * Carbon onions and related structures * Nanodiamonds * Diamond films Of interest not only for students but for all material scientists as well as organic and inorganic chemists, or anyone in need of a quick overview of the field.
Seven hundred years after the dissolution of the order, the trial of the Templars still arouses enormous controversy and speculation. In October 1307, all the brothers of the military-religious order of the Temple in France were arrested on the instructions of King Philip IV and charged with heresy and other crimes. In 1312, Pope Clement V, at the Council of Vienne, dissolved the order. Since the 1970s, there has been increasing scholarly interest in the trial, and a series of books and articles have widened scholars' understanding of causes of this notorious affair, its course and its aftermath. However, many gaps in knowledge and understanding remain. What were the Templars doing in the mo...
The thrilling story of a pioneering conservationist working with dogs to protect wildlife from poachers. Conraad de Rosner is one of the first game rangers to focus on working with specially trained dogs to protect wildlife from poachers – both 'bushmeat' poachers, who use cruel snares to trap animals, and criminal syndicates killing for rhinoceros horn and capturing critically endangered pangolins, the most trafficked animal in the world. Con's life – constantly at risk from poachers, wildlife and even his own fellow rangers – has been saved on numerous occasions by his devoted canine companions. His first dog, Zingela, a Weimaraner, saved Con from near certain death at the hands of t...
In clearly structured chapters, this book covers the fascinating world of hydrocarbons, providing an insight into the fundamental principles of chemistry. The monograph covers modern aspects of the topic, such as carbon nanotubes, molecular flask inclusion, and fullerenes, with new synthetic procedures for the build up of the structural lattice included.
Inhaltsangabe:Introduction: This thesis introduces to problems which have a concern for each executive in the operative management of industrial enterprises and is therefore e.g. also welcomed and expected with tension on behalf of the employer of the author.

In the popular imagination, the Middle Ages are often associated with lawlessness. However, historians have long recognized that medieval culture was characterized by an enormous respect for law and legal procedure. This book makes the case that one cannot understand the era's cultural trends without considering the profound development of law.
Kohlenstoffmaterialien, ihre Eigenschaften, ihre Reaktivität und ihre Anwendungsmöglichkeiten sind Gegenstand dieses Lehrbuches. Besonderer Wert wird auf die Darstellung der Untersuchungsmethoden gelegt. Nach einer Einführung zu traditionellen Kohlenstoffmaterialien (Graphit, Diamant, Ruß, etc.) werden schwerpunktmäßig die aktuell erforschten Materialien wie Nanotubes, Fullerene, CVD-Diamant und Nanodiamant behandelt.
Immer wieder wurden vom 5. bis ins 16. Jh. in den suedfranz�sischen Metropolen Arles, Aix-en-Provence, Marseille, Tarascon, Narbonne und Toulouse alte und neue Lokalheilige als Vertreter und Verteidiger der Interessen lokaler Instanzen mobilisiert. Zum Teil hochpolitische Legenden und Kultformen entstanden. Dabei zeigt sich eine sich unter dem Einflu� politischen und innerkirchlichen Wandels sowie aktueller Notwendigkeiten vollziehende Entwicklung des Patronatsgedankens vom sp�tantiken Ortspatronat zum hochmittelalterlichen Kloster-, Bischofs-, Dynastiepatronat bis hin zum sp�tmittelalterlichen Stadtpatronat. Zahlreiche, zum Teil bisher unedierte hagiographische Texte, aber auch hist...
Die Kirche Saint-Lazare in Autun wurde zu Beginn des 12. Jahrhunderts für die Reliquien des Lazarus von Bethanien erbaut. Das Bildprogramm der neuen Kirche musste sowohl den Ansprüchen und Interessen der Auftraggeber entsprechen als auch auf den Patron der Kirche Bezug nehmen und dem Sonderstatus als Pilgerkirche gerecht werden. Die Autorin untersucht, ob sich die einzelnen Bilder auch einem theologisch eher ungeschulten Betrachter erschließen und welche Bedeutung die Bewegung des Betrachters im Kirchenraum hat. In der Kombination von intensiver Betrachtung des Einzelbildes und sukzessiver Erfassung des Gebäudeensembles wird ein Wahrnehmungs- und Erkenntnisprozess in Gang gesetzt, der von der Anschauung des Sichtbaren zur inneren Schau führen soll.
