Holger Holunder und das Mph (Lesealter acht bis zehn)) Holger hat es nicht immer leicht, denn er ist ein Träumer. Er betrachtet die Dinge gern in aller Ruhe und hasst es gehetzt zu werden. Seine eigene Gesellschaft zieht er schlechter Gesellschaft vor, und gemächliche Fortbewegung zieht er hektischer Aktivität vor. Aber dann stößt er eines Tages im Ödland auf etwas höchst Merkwürdiges, und dieser Fund ändert sein ganzes Leben. Plötzlich muss Holger aktiv werden schlimmer noch: er muss schnell werden. Hartnäckig verfolgt er sein Ziel, auch wenn er unzählige Misserfolge einstecken muss. Andererseits gewinnt er aber auch eine gute Freundin, und sein Selbstvertrauen und sein Mut wachsen beträchtlich mit der schwierigen Aufgabe. Wird ihm gelingen, was er sich vorgenommen hat? Eine Geschichte über Freundschaft und Treue, über Beständigkeit und Ideenreichtum.
Holger Holunder and the Mph (Reading age eight to ten) Life isn’t always easy for Holger Holunder, as he is a bit of a dreamer. He likes to contemplate things leisurely and he hates to be rushed. He prefers his own company to bad company, and he prefers moving sedately to hectic activity. But then one day he comes upon something very odd out in the wasteland, and this discovery changes everything. Suddenly Holger is forced to take action, and worse still: the action has to be swift. Stubbornly he keeps at it although he meets failure after failure. But he also makes a good friend, and he builds up a lot of confidence and courage on the way. Will he succeed in his challenging endeavour? A story about friendship and loyalty, about inventiveness and constancy.
Band 21 der „Süßwasserflora von Mitteleuropa“ beschreibt die aquatischen Pilze. Der vorliegende Teil 21/1 behandelt die Süßwasserflechten (symbiotische Assoziationen von Pilzen mit Grünalgen oder Cyanobakterien), die man in fast allen Fließgewässern mit sauberem Wasser und steinigem Bett findet. Die Süßwasserflechten-Flora hat ein großes Potential als Bioindikator für Sedimenteintrag, Stabilität des Gewässerbetts, Konstanz der Überflutung und des ph-Wertes. Mit weniger als 100 Arten sind die Süßwasserflechten eine relativ kleine und systematisch sehr heterogene Gruppe von spezialisierten Pilzen, die die aquatische Lebensweise konvergent erworben haben. Sie gehören mehreren nicht näher verwandten Ordnungen der Ascomycota an.

In this book art historian and anthropologist Dr. Holger Braun takes us on a step by step journey to discover the underlying principles of this ancient worldview which is visible as a secret sign language inscribed into the art objects of this area and intended to be legible exclusively to the initiated. While the eyes of the non-initiated only perceive an aesthetic impression of a specific artwork, the reader of this book will be able to understand the messages conveyed by key d...
This book is a comprehensive technical treatise on binoculars as visual optical instruments. The author begins by discussing the function of binoculars and the properties of human visual perception. Theoretical models for the synthesis of binoculars and the complex interplay of the different components of binoculars are described. Subsequently, the performance limits, as experienced by the observer in a variety of external conditions, are derived. In the concluding section, the book takes the reader outdoors, where they learn to evaluate the properties and limitations of their binoculars in the field, and to recognize possible problems that may be due to manufacturing errors or accidental da...
Cost Management: Measuring, Monitoring, and Motivating Performance, Third Canadian Edition was written to help students learn to appropriately apply cost accounting methods in a variety of organizational settings.

They utilize features such as realistic examples, real ethical dilemmas, self-study problems and unique problem material structured to encourage students to think about accounting problems and problem-solving more complexly.
