Hallo Robot
Some fear that robots could do half our jobs and even wipe us out. But is that likely? Hallo Robot shows how clever machines could chauffeur us, teach our children, rescue survivors from collapsed buildings, and boost the global fight against hunger and pollution. Welcome to a realistic, vibrant view of our robot future. With 60 colour photos. Topics covered: From dolls to industrial workers, a history of robots How robots respond to their surroundings What robots learn about human speech Why self-driving cars are safer and greener The possibilities of robots in education Meet the ‘cyborgs’ who learn to walk again Why evolution designs the best robots Will rogue robots take over the world? Using robots as weapons and drones What the future holds: 2100, a Robot Odyssey
Layers of naked
These stories tell about woe and worry, longing and belonging, rejection and inclusion. The stories embrace layers of gender and identity. They lay bare the realities which shape queer lives. The nine authors have embarked on a joint transnational writing journey, connecting different European cultures. They spinned Diskokugel and unpacked regalos. They wrote this book in one intense week of encounter and exchange in a German forest. In their stories they forge their experiences into exciting narratives. That makes this book relevant, revealing and unputdownable.
Modern Heterogeneous Catalysis
Written by one of the world's leading experts on the topic, this advanced textbook is the perfect introduction for newcomers to this exciting field. Concise and clear, the text focuses on such key aspects as kinetics, reaction mechanism and surface reactivity, concentrating on the essentials. The author also covers various catalytic systems, catalysis by design, and activation-deactivation. A website with supplementary material offers additional figures, original material and references.
Energy Sprawl Solutions
Over the next several decades, as human populations grow, the demand for energy will soar. But renewable energy sources have a large energy sprawl--the amount of land needed to produce energy--which can threaten biodiversity. In Energy Sprawl Solutions, scientists Joseph M. Kiesecker and David Naugle provide a roadmap for preserving biodiversity despite the threats of energy sprawl. Their strategy--development by design--identifies and sets aside land where biodiversity can thrive while consolidating development in areas with lower biodiversity value. This contributed volume features case studies from countries around the world, each describing a different energy sector and the way they have successfully maximized biodiversity protection. This book provides a needed guide for elected officials, industry representatives, NGOs and community groups who have a stake in sustainable energy-development planning.
Mechanisms In Heterogeneous Catalysis
Heterogeneous catalysis has developed over the past two centuries as a technology driven by the needs of society, and is part of Nobel Prize-winning science. This book describes the spectacular increase in molecular understanding of heterogenous catalytic reactions in important industrial processes. Reaction mechanism and kinetics are discussed with a unique focus on their relation with the inorganic chemistry of the catalyst material. An introductory chapter presents the development of catalysis science and catalyst discovery from a historical perspective. Five chapters that form the thrust of the book are organized by type of reaction, reactivity principles, and mechanistic theories, which provide the scientific basis to structure-function relationships of catalyst performance. Present-day challenges to catalysis are sketched in a final chapter. Written by one of the world's leading experts on the topic, this definitive text is an essential reference for students, researchers and engineers working in this multibillion-dollar field.

CAD and Rapid Prototyping for Product Design
Computer-aided design (CAD) and rapid prototyping (RP) are now a fundamental part of the professional practice of product design and are therefore essential skills for product design undergraduate students. This book provides students with all the tools needed to get to grips with the range of both CAD software and RP processes used in the industry. Presented in a visually engaging format, this book is packed with case study examples from contemporary product designers, as well as screen shots, CAD models and images of rapid prototypes highlighting the design process. This book shows how CAD and RP software is used in product design and explains, in clear language, the similarities and differences between the different software packages and processes.
Civic Education and Contested Democracy
This book explores citizenship education and democracy in the Netherlands. From the Second World War to the present day, debates about civic education and democracy have raged in the country: this book demonstrates how citizens, social movements and political elites have articulated their own notions of democracy. Civic education illustrates democracy as an essentially contested concept – the transmission of political ideals highlights conflicting democratic values and a problem of paternalism. Ultimately, who dictates what democracy is, and to whom? As expectations of citizens rise, they are viewed more and more as objects of a pedagogical project, itself a controversial notion. Focusing on what democracy means practically in society, this book will be of interest to scholars of citizenship education and post-war Dutch political history.
Blaue Augenbrauen
In diesen Geschichten wandern Sonnenmilchflaschen, tanzen Gurken Madls und fallen Servietten herunter. Die Autor*innen greifen auf die geteilten queeren Erfahrungen zurück und geben einer Welt Ausdruck, die manche so nicht kennen. Das macht dieses Buch relevant, prägend und unübersehbar. Die sechs Autorinnen haben ihre Geschichten zusammen geschrieben. Ob Mykonos, Küchentisch oder Sprungschanze, für die Gruppe kann eine Begegnung überall anfangen. Die Autorinnen spielen mit Identitäten und Rollen, mischen Ideen und schmieden diese zu spannenden Erzählungen. So teilen sie die vielfältigen Erlebnisse aus ihren queeren Lebenswelten untereinander und mit ihren Leser*innen.
