Primitive Passions
In this provocative and illuminating book, Marianna Torgovnick explores the psychology of our profound attraction to cultures we call "primitive". Whether located in Africa, the South Pacific, or the American Southwest, the primitive has become synonymous in the Western imagination with a range of emotions and experiences thought to be lost in modern life: reverence for the land and for nature; strong communal bonds; sexual plentitude; and, perhaps most intriguing, and ecstatic sense of connection to the universe and the life force. Torgovnick investigates the numerous ways we have turned toward the primitive out of spiritual hunger for such deeply human experiences - a hunger that could once be satisfied within the West's own mystical traditions but that often no longer can be. Brilliantly encompassing religion, art, psychology, literature, and other aspects of our culture, Primitive Passions offers new insight into our ideas of spirituality and gender, and, ultimately, into the hidden but vital parts of ourselves.
Molecular Biology and Physiology of Water and Solute Transport
Biophysical studies in the 1950ies and 1960ies led to the realization that the water permeability of certain biological membranes must be due to the presence of water transporting proteins. This hypothesis was confirmed in 1991 and 1992 with the pioneering discovery of the first molecular membrane water channel, CHIP28, by Agre and coworkers. This integral membrane protein, which is abundant in the erythrocyte membrane and in many epithelial cells, is now called aquaporin-1 or AQP1. Thus the terms water channel or aquaporin are synonymous. In July 2000 more than 200 researchers came together in Gothenburg, Sweden, for the `3rd International Conference on the Molecular Biology and Physiology of Water and Solute Transport" to discuss progress in this emerging research field. 58 different presentations from this conference are the basis for this book. Cumulatively, these 58 short chapters provide a balanced overview complementing numerous recent reviews in this field.
Collaboration and Co-creation
Today’s consumers are more knowledgeable, networked, and vocal. For them consumption is not merely an act of buying products and services, but an expression of their creative potential. Consequently, they are demanding a say and a voice in how companies conceive, develop, and deliver value to them. It is not surprising, therefore, to hear that a large number of companies are transforming how they innovate—not only in terms of developing new products and services, but in how they are created, delivered, and supported to customers. Open Innovation thinking, where companies collaborate with suppliers, distributors, and customers to co-create unique value, is fast replacing traditional think...
Non-Thermal Processing Technologies for the Fruit and Vegetable Industry
Fruits and vegetables rapidly spoil due to growth of microorganisms, which further render them unsafe for human consumption. The traditional methods of food preservation, which involves drying, canning, salting, curing, and chemical preservation, can significantly affect food quality by diminishing nutrients during heat processing. This can alter the texture of the products, leave chemical residues in the final processed products, which in turn has greater impact over consumers' safety and health concerns. To combat this problem, various current non-thermal food processing techniques can be employed in fruit and vegetable processing industries to enhance consumer satisfaction for delivering ...
In Search of a Home
A large portion of the smallest of the Slavonic nations left their German homeland and migrated to three distant continents. This edition presents a study of Wendish migration that describes the details of immigration and weighs the possible explanations for the exodus, the settlement, and acculturation patterns that resulted.
Das Morden geht weiter
Morde, die man nie vergißt! Der Gärtner, der Butler, der betrogene Ehemann oder die erbschleichende Witwe fordern hier Ihren kriminalistischen Spürsinn heraus. Lösen Sie allein, zu zweit oder im Freundeskreis diese kurzen Krimigeschichten, vielleicht auch einmal als Alternative zum Kabelfernseh-Krimi-»Fast Food«. Unveränderter Nachdruck der Druckausgabe von 1992
Jung, His Life and Work
This full-scale study of Jung's life and work is written by a close student, friend, and associate of more than thirty years. It is a lucid, penetrating account of his career, stressing the essential wholeness of the man and tracing the difficult path that led to that wholeness. From his earliest years to his death, through the crowded inner and outer events of his long ifetime, Hannah presents a view of the real Jung, not the creature of legend and cult. She treats his theoretical apparatus as well as such personal matters as his relationship with Toni Wolff and his supposed flirtation with Nazism. Here we see Jung's humanity and his genius as a "navigator of the unconscious."

Das Science Fiction Jahr 2024
Ob ernsthafte Bedrohung oder Chance für die Menschheit – künstliche Intelligenz ist ein immer wiederkehrendes Thema in der Science Fiction, von Klassikern wie E. M. Forsters Die Maschine steht still, Asimovs Roboter-Romane über die NEUROMANCER-Reihe von William Gibson bis hin zu zeitgenössischen Werken wie Pantopia von Theresa Hannig oder Martha Wells' MURDERBOT-Reihe. Inzwischen ist KI jedoch nicht allein Thema in Romanen – KI ist jetzt: ChatGPT, Dall-E, DeepL und Midjourney etc. sind in aller Munde, Meta trainiert mit User:innen-Daten die hauseigene KI und all das beeinflusst unsere Arbeits- und Informationswelt, insbesondere die der Kunstschaffenden. Es ist nur folgerichtig, dem T...
