The ideal book for anyone interested in Nietzsche's life and work.
Skiing Heritage is a quarterly Journal of original, entertaining, and informative feature articles on skiing history. Published by the International Skiing History Association, its contents support ISHA's mission "to preserve skiing history and to increase awareness of the sport's heritage."
Radically reconceives Friedrich Nietzsche's early life, offering an alternative approach and new insights into the early development of Nietzsche's philosophy.
The first edition of the Ens Thesis was published in 2008, exactly on the author's birthday. At that time, there were no images from the James Webb Space Telescope, and everything seemed to be in order for science. Since the beginning of the assumption of a Big Bang, there have been those who could not reconcile with this idea. The author of this book, who was a long-time supporter of the Big Bang theory, also began to have serious doubts and started a piece of work that accompanied him for several years. It was not enough for the author to simply be justified against the Big Bang; he wanted to work out for himself how the cosmos could have originated alternatively. It was only when he under...
Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: This liberal translation of the famous Victor Hugo quote applies to direct marketing as it exists today. Only 20 years ago, direct marketing was considered a speciality employed by book publishers, record clubs or magazine publishers seeking subscriptions. Meanwhile direct marketing has become a marketing tool utilised by more than half the U.S. Fortune 500 companies. Realising the growing importance of direct marketing in addition to traditional advertising, major advertising agencies such as Young & Rubican (Y&R) and Doyle Dane Bernbach (DDB) purchased the most famous specialised agencies in this field and worked with them to bring both general and direct marketing ...
Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: As the European Union (EU) is getting bigger and the movement of people, capital, goods and services across the 15 participating countries is simplified, the European conference scene has been boosted with this enlarged competition. The latest knowledge and information have become vital economic assets of the information-driven society. While there are numerous ways to obtain this information, seminars are particularly attractive because they communicate desired knowledge quickly in a compact form. The major destination cities show increasing business, allied with enhanced competition, a toughening attitude amongst organisers and meeting planners as well as the need f...
Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: The report describes the building of a simple resonant converter with a series resonant circuit as load. This work is a subject in the field of power electronics. The report includes a complete describtion of the analytical fundamentals of a DC/AC converter with a resonant circuit as load. Modern semiconductor devices like IGBTs, MBGTs, MOSFETs, Thyristors, ... are also tested for a succesfull using in converter circuits. The most important thing in this work is the minimizing of the switching losses in the semiconductor devices. For that purpose the switching point lays near the current and voltage zero. The special difficulties for the dimensioning of the components...
Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: We discuss the main approaches to quantify the risk of losses arising from a defaulting counterparty to a financial transaction that have been developed over the last 25 years. Every existing method faces major problems in assessing the numerous and partly non-observable factors influencing credit risk. One shortcoming common to all methods is the classical normal assumption for interest rate changes and asset returns. Therefore we suggest the introduction of stable Paretian models to yield more realistic credit spreads.

Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Comparison of the situation of long-distance bus and coach services in Germany and the UK: Geographic background, market regulation and administrative framework, industry structure, market position, demand characteristics. A functional analysis provides information on typical products and activities of the industry, and some case studies demonstrate the role of this mode in different spatial contexts. Einleitung: Vergleich der Situation des Fern- und Reisebusverkehrs in Deutschland und Großbritannien: Geographische Randbedingungen, Regulierung, Unternehmensstrukturen, Marktstellung, Nachfragemerkmale. In einer funktionalen Analyse werden typische Aufgaben und Produkt...
Functions of Natural Organic Matter in Changing Environment presents contributions from the 16th Meeting of the International Humic Substances Society (IHSS 16) held in Hangzhou, China on September 9-14, 2012. It provides a comprehensive and updated research advance in the field of characterization, function, application of humic substances (HS) and natural organic matter (NOM) in environment, agriculture, and industry. A broad range of topics are covered: i) formation, structure and characteristics of HS and NOM; ii) HS/NOM and carbon sequestration; iii) HS/NOM and biogeochemical cycling of nutrients; iv) HS/NOM and the environmental processes of toxic elements and anthropogenic organics; v...
