Magisches Kräuterwissen
Die sagenumwobene Bergkristallkugel erhalten nur besondere Menschen. Weil die Geschwister Eva und Jonas das Vertrauen des Koglbauern gewonnen haben, überlässt er ihnen diesen Schatz. Mit der Zauberkraft dieser Kugel können die Kinder alle Kräuter zum Sprechen bringen. So kommt es, dass das Gänseblümchen über sein Wunder erzählt und der Odermennig italienisch singt. Manches Kräutlein möchte sich gerne im Salat wiederfinden, ein anderes verkündet stolz, dass es bei Zahnschmerzen hilft. Jedoch nach 24 Stunden endet die Zauberkraft der magischen Kugel. Werden die Kinder bis dahin den Weg nach Hause gefunden haben? Die Nacht ist lange und kalt, ein Feuer muss gemacht werden und dann geht auch noch das Handy kaputt! Aber es gibt ja so viel neues Wissen, Eva und Jonas müssen es nur einsetzen.
Vitalkost-Rezepte
Ein Buch für Einsteiger in die Rohkost, mit Rezepten, die auch in der Familie auf Akzeptanz stoßen. Die Autoren haben langjährige Familienerfahrung mit ihren zwei Kindern und wissen genau, was gut ankommt. Aber nicht nur wunderbare Rohkost-Rezepte bietet dieses Buch: vor allem ist es die genaue Zusammenstellung der verschiedenen Wildpflanzen, Obstsorten, Gemüsearten und Salate, die überzeugt. Gerade bei Rohkost müssen Lebensmittel richtig kombiniert werden. Manches Obst verträgt sich einfach nicht mit Gemüse, manches Gemüse verträgt sich nicht mit bestimmten Wildpflanzen. In der falschen Zusammensetzung kann es zu Bauchschmerzen und Unwohlsein kommen. Weiß man genau, welche Zutaten man mischen darf, gehört der Spruch: Ich vertrage Rohkost einfach nicht! der Vergangenheit an.
Global Health for All
Global Health for All trains a critical lens on global health to share the stories that global health’s practices and logics tell about 20th and 21st century configurations of science and power. An ethnography on multiple scales, the book focuses on global health’s key epistemic and therapeutic practices like localization, measurement, triage, markets, technology, care, and regulation. Its roving approach traverses policy centers, sites of intervention, and innumerable spaces in between to consider what happens when globalized logics, circulations, and actors work to imagine, modify, and manage health. By resting in these in-between places, Global Health for All simultaneously examines global health as a coherent system and as a dynamic, unpredictable collection of modular parts.
Aging and the Macroeconomy
The United States is in the midst of a major demographic shift. In the coming decades, people aged 65 and over will make up an increasingly large percentage of the population: The ratio of people aged 65+ to people aged 20-64 will rise by 80%. This shift is happening for two reasons: people are living longer, and many couples are choosing to have fewer children and to have those children somewhat later in life. The resulting demographic shift will present the nation with economic challenges, both to absorb the costs and to leverage the benefits of an aging population. Aging and the Macroeconomy: Long-Term Implications of an Older Population presents the fundamental factors driving the aging of the U.S. population, as well as its societal implications and likely long-term macroeconomic effects in a global context. The report finds that, while population aging does not pose an insurmountable challenge to the nation, it is imperative that sensible policies are implemented soon to allow companies and households to respond. It offers four practical approaches for preparing resources to support the future consumption of households and for adapting to the new economic landscape.
Fueling Innovation and Discovery
The mathematical sciences are part of everyday life. Modern communication, transportation, science, engineering, technology, medicine, manufacturing, security, and finance all depend on the mathematical sciences. Fueling Innovation and Discovery describes recent advances in the mathematical sciences and advances enabled by mathematical sciences research. It is geared toward general readers who would like to know more about ongoing advances in the mathematical sciences and how these advances are changing our understanding of the world, creating new technologies, and transforming industries. Although the mathematical sciences are pervasive, they are often invoked without an explicit awareness ...
Tuberculosis Drug Discovery and Development 2019
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and still represents one of the global health threats to mankind. The World Health Organization estimated more than 10 million new cases and reported more than 1.5 million deaths in 2019, thus ranking TB among the main causes of death due to a single pathogen. Standard anti-TB therapy includes four first-line antibiotics that should be administered for at least six months. However, in the case of multi- and extensively drug-resistant TB, second-line medications must be used and these frequently cause severe side effects resulting in poor compliance. Developing new anti-TB drug candidates is therefore of outmost i...
Transforming Combustion Research through Cyberinfrastructure
Combustion has provided society with most of its energy needs for millenia, from igniting the fires of cave dwellers to propelling the rockets that traveled to the Moon. Even in the face of climate change and the increasing availability of alternative energy sources, fossil fuels will continue to be used for many decades. However, they will likely become more expensive, and pressure to minimize undesired combustion by-products (pollutants) will likely increase. The trends in the continued use of fossil fuels and likely use of alternative combustion fuels call for more rapid development of improved combustion systems. In January 2009, the Multi-Agency Coordinating Committee on Combustion Rese...
Assessing the Reliability of Complex Models
Advances in computing hardware and algorithms have dramatically improved the ability to simulate complex processes computationally. Today's simulation capabilities offer the prospect of addressing questions that in the past could be addressed only by resource-intensive experimentation, if at all. Assessing the Reliability of Complex Models recognizes the ubiquity of uncertainty in computational estimates of reality and the necessity for its quantification. As computational science and engineering have matured, the process of quantifying or bounding uncertainties in a computational estimate of a physical quality of interest has evolved into a small set of interdependent tasks: verification, v...
Technical Capabilities Necessary for Regulation of Systemic Financial Risk
The financial reform plans currently under discussion in the United States recognize the need for monitoring and regulating systemic risk in the financial sector. To inform those discussions, the National Research Council held a workshop on November 3, 2009, to identify the major technical challenges to building such a capability. The workshop, summarized in this volume, addressed the following key issues as they relate to systemic risk: What data and analytical tools are currently available to regulators to address this challenge? What further data-collection and data-analysis capabilities are needed? What specific resource needs are required to accomplish the task? What are the major techn...
