Zoomland
Despite a variety of theoretical and practical undertakings, there is no coherent understanding of the concept of scale in digital history and humanities, and its potential is largely unexplored. A clearer picture of the whole spectrum is needed, from large to small, distant to close, global to local, general to specific, macro to micro, and the in-between levels. The book addresses these issues and sketches out the territory of Zoomland, at scale. Four regions and sixteen chapters are conceptually and symbolically depicted through three perspectives: bird's eye, overhead, and ground view. The variable-scale representation allows for exploratory paths covering areas such as: theoretical and ...
History of Photography
The fourth volume in a history of photography, this is a bibliography of books on the subject.
Small Electric Vehicles
This edited open access book gives a comprehensive overview of small and lightweight electric three- and four-wheel vehicles with an international scope. The present status of small electric vehicle (SEV) technologies, the market situation and main hindering factors for market success as well as options to attain a higher market share including new mobility concepts are highlighted. An increased usage of SEVs can have different impacts which are highlighted in the book in regard to sustainable transport, congestion, electric grid and transport-related potentials. To underline the effects these vehicles can have in urban areas or rural areas, several case studies are presented covering outcomes of pilot projects and studies in Europe. A study of the operation and usage in the Global South extends the scope to a global scale. Furthermore, several concept studies and vehicle concepts on the market give a more detailed overview and show the deployment in different applications.
The Art of Timing
If each of us on this Earth has 24 hours every day, how do some achieve so much, while others can hardly get by? Is there a way to manage time much more efficiently without losing sight of the good things in life? In this book, August-Wilhelm Scheer, a scientist, entrepreneur, political advisor and passionate jazz saxophonist, presents a definitive guide to time management based on his own experience. The reader is introduced to bold start-ups, exciting corporate takeovers and sales, and the demands on politicians in this regard. In addition to insider tips on the start-up ecosystem, the book offers a wealth of advice on how to manage time effectively. August-Wilhelm Scheer is one of the most influential scientists and entrepreneurs in German information technology. The ARIS method for process management, which he developed, is used in virtually many DAX companies and internationally. He heads a group of nine companies including Scheer GmbH, imc AG and Scheer PAS GmbH, as well as the non-profit August-Wilhelm Scheer Research Institute.
The Composable Enterprise: Agile, Flexible, Innovative
The benefits of digitalisation do not lie in the use of new technologies for existing processes, but in organisational changes and new business models. The book highlights the composable enterprise as the guiding principle for successful digital transformation and associated cost reductions and revenue increases. What does it mean? A composable enterprise is organised in a decentralised process-oriented way. This allows the enterprise to react quickly to new situations, develop or change processes and business models. The information systems are based on platform architectures. A paradigm shift to monolithic applications. Sector concepts for industry, consulting and universities show how organisation and application architectures interlock in the composable enterprise. The reader receives inspiration, a foundation and a compass for the digital transformation of a company to the composable enterprise.
Beyond the Timeline: Resetting Historiography
Different from literary works (prose, drama etc.) with techniques like montage and contemporary media (film, documentaries, video games, internet) where time-lines are being questioned through flashbacks and flashwords, historiography seems to have resisted such challenges. Most historiographical works (biographies, scholarly studies) still adhere to chronological narratives, even though the boundaries between history and literary fiction have been blurred over the past decades. Responding to 20th/21st c. attempts like Walter Benjamin’s prophetic historian, this volume asks: How to write history without following the chronologically oriented trajectory of time? The interdisciplinary contri...
Radical Enlightenment
Arguably the most decisive shift in the history of ideas in modern times was the complete demolition during the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries - in the wake of the Scientific Revolution - of traditional structures of authority, scientific thought, and belief by the new philosophy and the philosophes, culminating in Voltaire, Diderot, and Rousseau. In this revolutionary process which effectively overthrew all justicfication for monarchy, aristocracy, and ecclesiastical power, as well as man's dominance over woman, theological dominance of education, and slavery, substituting the modern principles of equality, democracy, and universality, the Radical Enlightenment played a crucially...
The Chaplain's Conflict
As chaplain for the US Army's 102nd Evacuation Hospital in the European Theater, Renwick C. Kennedy--"Ren" to those who knew him--witnessed great courage, extreme talent, and many lives snatched from the precipice of death, all under the most trying conditions. He also observed drug and alcohol abuse, prejudice, narrow-mindedness, and chronic depression. What he saw, he chronicled in his journal, and what he wrote, he processed with an intellectual and ethical rigor born of his remarkably sophisticated worldview and his deeply held Christian faith. With Kennedy's war diaries and postwar articles published in Christian Century and Time magazines in front of him, historian Tennant McWilliams s...
