Electric Vehicle Batteries: Moving from Research towards Innovation
This edited volume presents research results of the PPP European Green Vehicle Initiative (EGVI), focusing on electric vehicle batteries. Electrification is one road towards sustainable road transportation, and battery technology is one of the key enabling technologies. However, at the same time, battery technology is one of the main obstacles for a broad commercial launch of electric vehicles. This book includes research contributions which try to bridge the gap between research and innovation in the field of battery technology for electric vehicles. The target audience primarily comprises researchers and experts in the field.
Jane Austen's Emma
What has Emma Woodhouse, "handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and very little to distress or vex her" to say to a discipline like philosophy? How is a novel like Emma, inaccurately but not infrequently caricatured as a high-toned version of a pedestrian romance, to supply material for philosophical insight or speculation? Jane Austen's Emma is many things to many readers but it is as inaccurate as it is reductive to consider it just a romance. The minutia of daily living on which it concentrates permit not a rehearsal of platitudes, but a closer look at human emotions and motives, as well as the opportunity to hone our interpretive and empathetic skills. Emma flies in the fac...

Brief Encounter
Noël Coward's Brief Encounter is remembered as one of the most haunting love stories on screen ever. Drawing on the characteristic wit and musicality of Kneehigh, Emma Rice, former Joint Artistic Director of the Company, has adapted Coward's classic 1945 screenplay, and the one-act play Still Life on which it was based, into a richly theatrical, imaginative and vibrant piece of theatre. From an original idea by David Pugh & Dafydd Rogers, Kneehigh's production received its world premiere in 2008. This edition is published to coincide with the production's run live at the Empire Cinema in London's West End for 2018, co-produced by Steve and Jenny Wiener and The Old Vic. With an updated foreword by Emma Rice. 'Surely the most enchanting work of stagecraft ever inspired by a movie.' Ben Brantley, The New York Times 'Moving, funny, gripping and even at its most inventive, true to the original and its all-English heart' The Times

Poets, Princes, and Private Citizens
This collection of original and insightful essays was written by teachers seeking to restore literature as a powerful teaching tool in the undergraduate classroom. This book rejects postmodern theorizing, opting instead to assert that great poets, playwrights, and novelists self-consciously intended to impart compelling moral and political lessons. The essays focus on fundamental questions such as: What is justice? What does it mean to be a good human being? What are the strengths and weaknesses of a particular form of government? and, How are we to understand and resolve the tensions between private affections and public responsibilities? This is important reading for anyone concerned about the impact of postmodern literary analysis.

Emma
Ich müsste schon ziemlich dumm sein, wenn ich Lebensumstände wie die meinen gegen andere eintauschte, ohne mich verliebt zu haben ... Eine Frau braucht einen Mann nicht zu heiraten, bloß weil er sie darum bittet oder weil er sie liebt und einen passablen Brief schreiben kann. Mit der Ehe hat die junge Emma Woodhouse erklärtermaßen nichts im Sinn. Während sie das unbeschwerte Leben auf dem Land genießt, ist es für sie ein großes Vergnügen, dem Glück der anderen auf die Sprünge zu helfen. Sie bemerkt allerdings nicht, dass sie mit ihren gutgemeinten Liebesintrigen die Falschen miteinander verkuppeln will und dabei den Mann übersieht, der ihr selbst am nächsten steht ... »Ich habe Emma mindestens zwanzigmal gelesen!« J. K. Rowling
