Dominium Terrae! Wenn "die Herrschaft über die Erde" zum Fluch wird ... Am 27. August 1973 um 19:23 Uhr verschwanden über der Wüste Karakum in Turkmenistan ein Warbird und eine Tupolew Tu-144 spurlos in einer blitzenden gelbgrünen Wolke, die aus dem Erdreich drang. Genau fünfzig Jahre später wird diese auf dem Frankfurter Flughafen erneut ausbrechen, und auch die beiden Flugzeuge werden wiederkehren. Was aber hat es mit der seltsamen gelbgrünen Wolke auf sich, die mithilfe der Piloten des Warbird und der Tu-144 zur größten Bedrohung für die Menschheit werden soll? Und was hat Fracking damit zu tun?
Die Welt der Götter ist ein Mysterium, das uns Menschen seit jeher beschäftigt. Woher kommen wir und wohin gehen wir? Wie sieht es aus, in den Tiefen einer Götterseele? Dreiundzwanzig von rund hundertzwanzig talentierten Autor*innen haben es geschafft, eine unabhängige Jury von ihrer Welt der Götter zu überzeugen. Begleitet uns zu wütenden Geschwistern, streift mit Naturgottheiten durch Wälder, erlebt Geheimagenten im Einsatz und sinniert über die göttliche Existenz. Diese Reise, voller Mythen und Legenden, wird euch den Atem rauben, euer Herz berühren und so manche Weltanschauung ins Wanken bringen.
This volume examines the implementation of the Return Directive from the perspective of judicial dialogue. While the role of judges has been widely addressed in European asylum law and EU law more generally, their role in EU return policy has hitherto remained under explored. This volume addresses the interaction and dialogue between domestic judiciaries and European courts in the implementation of European return policy. The book brings together leading authors from various backgrounds, including legal scholars, judges and practitioners. This allows the collection to offer theoretical and practical perspectives on important questions regarding the regulation of irregular migration in Europe...
The worlds of new music and historically informed performance might seem quite distant from one another. Yet, upon closer consideration, clear points of convergence emerge. Not only do many contemporary performers move easily between these two worlds, but they often do so using a shared ethos of flexibility, improvisation, curiosity, and collaboration—collaboration with composers past and present, with other performers, and with audiences. Bringing together expert scholars and performers considering a wide range of issues and case studies, Historical Performance and New Music—the first book of its kind—addresses the synergies in aesthetics and practices in historical performance and ne...
Environmental stress is one of the most significant factors affecting livestock performance and health, and it is only expected to increase with effects of global warming. Environmental Physiology of Livestock brings together the latest research on environmental physiology, summarizing progress in the field and providing directions for future research. Recent developments in estimating heat stress loads are discussed, as well as key studies in metabolism, reproduction, and genetic expressions. Environmental Physiology of Livestock begins with a survey of current heat indexing tools, highlighting recent discoveries in animal physiology, changes in productivity levels, and new technologies ava...
Wood surface attributes can be established by examining its several different physical or chemical properties. Differences in the wood surfaces occur between the manufacturing and post-treatment processes as well. Understanding how their unique anisotropic molecular organization, chemical linkages, branching, and other molecular features govern micro- and macroscale accessibility is essential for coating and complex modification processes. It is therefore important for scientific as well as practical reasons to qualify and quantify the effects of wood surface treatments and modifications. Challenges still exist to fully understanding the effect of the numerous applied chemicals and the wide range of treatment processes on wood surfaces.
This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area!
