Hypothermia
HYPOTHERMIA can be a blessing or a curse for our patients. Cardiac surgery, neurosurgery and intensive care are fields in which cooling of the body increases chances for recovery. Medical research is conducted in the entire world which aims to expand the use of hypothermia onto other spheres of medical practice. Unfortunately, hypothermia may also claim life. It may be a curse for those who live, work or rest in cold climate zones and for those who live in poverty right on our doorstep... It can strike hard and rough, but it can also be cunning and devious. The malicious side of hypothermia is the subject of the book which we present to our Readers. It was written by a group of people who have been studying intricacies of hypothermia for years? physicians, paramedics, mountain rescuers, and specialists in technical fields.
Janusz Korczak
This book presents the educational view and practice of the Polish-Jewish doctor, writer and pedagogue Janusz Korczak (Warsaw 1878–Treblinka 1942). In the authors' reconstruction five core elements stand out: respect for every child; participation; justice; dialogue as expression and communication; self-awareness and reflection on the part of the educator. These elements do not constitute a well-rounded theory or philosophy, but are part of many stories of living together with children, in Korczak’s case orphans. Korczak, actively involving the children themselves, organized this life in such a way that justice ruled. He is the pedagogue of narrativity and of democratic upbringing. Korczak explored many, and today still challenging ways of participative education. The book shows that besides the now domineering positivist outlook on education, with its technocratic language and stress on output, standards, testing, etc., another language is possible, one that is more practice-based and that teachers will relate to immediately: love for children, a pedagogical ethos, and seeking ways to live together in a just way.
Advances in Mechanical and Energy Engineering
This book includes high-quality articles within the framework of several projects and international collaborations, among them University of Applied Sciences Bremen and Gda?sk University of Technology. Some of the research presented in these articles was presented on international symposia and conferences, e.g. the XXII International Symposium Research-Education-Technology and 4th International Conference Low Temperature and Waste Heat Use on 24th to 25th September 2015 in Bremen. The articles cover current research of material science, mechanical engineering, energy technologies and nanofluids to supplement literature in these fields.

The Quest for an Appropriate Past in Literature, Art and Architecture
This volume explores the various strategies by which appropriate pasts were construed in scholarship, literature, art, and architecture in order to create “national”, regional, or local identities in late medieval and early modern Europe. Because authority was based on lineage, political and territorial claims were underpinned by historical arguments, either true or otherwise. Literature, scholarship, art, and architecture were pivotal media that were used to give evidence of the impressive old lineage of states, regions, or families. These claims were related not only to classical antiquity but also to other periods that were regarded as antiquities, such as the Middle Ages, especially ...
