Allein in Deutschland werden jedes Jahr Hunderte Menschen ermordet. Um die Täter zu überführen, müssen die Ermittler in menschliche Abgründe blicken, die für Außenstehende oft nur schwer zu ertragen sind. David Sarno und Sascha Lapp arbeiten als Autoren und Produzenten für verschiedene True-Crime-Formate des ZDF und ZDFinfo und konnten über die Jahre ausgezeichnete Kontakte zu den Ermittlungsbehörden aufbauen. Für ihr Buch »Das Prinzip Mord - Wahren Verbrechen auf der Spur« ist es ihnen gelungen, exklusive Einsicht in die Fallakten zu erlangen und ausführliche Gespräche mit Ermittlern zu führen, die mit spektakulären Mordfällen zwischen den Jahren 1971 bis 2015 betraut ware...
How often have you heard "anyone can design a game?" While it seems like an easy job, game ideas are cheap and plentiful. Advancing those ideas into games that people want to play is one of the hardest, and most under-appreciated, tasks in the game development cycle. Andrew Rollings and Ernest Adams on Game Design introduces both students and experienced developers to the craft of designing computer and video games for the retail market. The first half of the book is a detailed analysis of the key game design elements: examining game concepts and worlds, storytelling, character and user interface design, core mechanics and balance. The second half discusses each of the major game genres (action, adventure, role-playing, strategy, puzzle, and so on) and identifies the design patterns and unique creative challenges that characterize them. Filled with examples and worksheets, this book takes an accessible, practical approach to creating fun, innovative, and highly playable games.

Il giovane Ilyas è poco più che un bambino quando viene rapito dalla famiglia per mano di un soldato askaro di stanza nelle colonie tedesche dell’Ostafrika. Cresce affidato a un agricoltore europeo, impara la lingua e si guadagna un’istruzione, ma la vita insieme ai colonizzatori lo allontana dal suo popolo, ne fa un forestiero a casa propria. Allo scoppio della prima guerra mondiale si arruola volontario per combattere al fianco dei tedeschi, lasciando la sorella Afiya nella casa dell’amico Khalifa. Qui la ragazza incontra il giovane Hamza, tornato dal conflitto senza un soldo e con molte cicatrici nel corpo e nell’anima: dalla loro unione nasce una speranza, un figlio chiamato Ilyas come lo zio scomparso. Ma ormai sono gli anni trenta, la guerra che sta per scuotere ancora l’Europa arriva fino alle colonie africane, e il piccolo Ilyas comincia a sentire una voce misteriosa che sembra parlare solo con lui.

During the last two decades, the production of polymers and plastics has been increasing rapidly. In spite of developing new polymers and polymeric materials, only 40~60 are used commercially on a large scale. It has been estimated that half of the annual production of polymers is employed outdoors. The photochemical instability of most polymers limits their outdoor application as they are photodegraded quickly over periods from months to a few years. To the despair of technologists and consumers alike, photodegradation and environmental ageing of polymers occur much faster than can be expected from knowledge collected in laboratories. In order to improve polymer photostability there has bee...
As the meeting point between Europe, colonial America, and Africa, the history of the Atlantic world is a constantly shifting arena, but one which has been a focus of huge and vibrant debate for many years. In over thirty chapters, all written by experts in the field, The Atlantic World takes up these debates and gathers together key, original scholarship to provide an authoritative survey of this increasingly popular area of world history. The book takes a thematic approach to topics including exploration, migration and cultural encounters. In the first chapters, scholars examine the interactions between groups which converged in the Atlantic world, such as slaves, European migrants and Nat...
