From Here to There
A Wired Most Fascinating Book of the Year “An important book that reminds us that navigation remains one of our most underappreciated arts.” —Tristan Gooley, author of The Lost Art of Reading Nature’s Signs “If you want to understand what rats can teach us about better-planned cities, why walking into a different room can help you find your car keys, or how your brain’s grid, border, and speed cells combine to give us a sense of direction, this book has all the answers.” —The Scotsman How is it that some of us can walk unfamiliar streets without losing our way, while the rest of us struggle even with a GPS? Navigating in uncharted territory is a remarkable feat if you stop to...

MES-Kompendium
Manufacturing Execution Systeme (MES) sind eine stark wachsende Disziplin im Bereich der Informationstechnik für die Produktion. Sie helfen dabei, Schwachstellen, Verschwendungen und Qualitätsprobleme in der Fertigung zu erkennen. Auf diese Weise sind sie nicht nur die Basis für einen kontinuierlichen Verbesserungsprozess, sondern auch ein Werkzeug für eine effiziente Steuerung der Produktion und für eine stetige Steigerung der Produktqualität. Das Buch gibt einen Überblick über die große Bandbreite an Funktionalitäten von MES am Beispiel des Systems HYDRA. Eine klare Gliederung der heute üblichen MES-Module und deren Zuordnung zu Funktionseinheiten in einer industriellen Fertigung zeigen, welche Nutzeffekte zu erzielen sind und wie sich der Einsatz moderner MES-Technologien auf Fertigungsunternehmen im globalen Wettbewerb auswirkt.

Wayfinding
'Beautifully written and researched.' - Isabella Tree, author of Wilding The physical world is infinitely complex, yet most of us are able to find our way around it. We can walk through unfamiliar streets while maintaining a sense of direction, take shortcuts along paths we have never used and remember for many years places we have visited only once. These are remarkable achievements. In Wayfinding, Michael Bond explores how we do it: how our brains make the ‘cognitive maps’ that keep us orientated, even in places that we don’t know. He considers how we relate to places, and asks how our understanding of the world around us affects our psychology and behaviour. The way we think about p...

Emotion in Animated Films
Ranging from blockbuster movies to experimental shorts or documentaries to scientific research, computer animation shapes a great part of media communication processes today. Be it the portrayal of emotional characters in moving films or the creation of controllable emotional stimuli in scientific contexts, computer animation’s characteristic artificiality makes it ideal for various areas connected to the emotional: with the ability to move beyond the constraints of the empirical "real world," animation allows for an immense freedom. This book looks at international film productions using animation techniques to display and/or to elicit emotions, with a special attention to the aesthetics, characters and stories of these films, and to the challenges and benefits of using computer techniques for these purposes.
Kulturnotizen aus der Provinz
In einer Zeit der fortschreitenden allgemeinen Urbanisierung des Menschen muss sich das Land immer noch mit dem Vorurteil kultureller Rückständigkeit gegenüber den städtischen Zentren auseinandersetzen. Dem widerspricht der Autor, indem er die Vielfalt kulturellen Lebens am Beispiel der Kreisstadt Pfaffenhofen a. d. Ilm und der Region um die Jahrhundertwende vor Augen führt, ohne auch die augenscheinlichen Defizite nicht zu übersehen.
