Biomedical Applications
The mechanical properties of cells can be used to distinguish pathological from normal cells and tissues in many diseases. This book will outline the physics behind cell and tissue mechanics, describe the methods which can be used to determine their mechanical properties, and present various diseases in which a mechanical fingerprint could be established. The book is designed to not require a background in either Physics or Life Sciences.
Understanding Enzymes
Understanding Enzymes: Function, Design, Engineering, and Analysis focuses on the understanding of enzyme function and optimization gained in the past decade, past enzyme function analysis, enzyme engineering, and growing insights from the simulation work and nanotechnology measurement of enzymes in action in vitro or in silico. The book also prese
The Wrong Number One
Tony Macucci is god in the music industry. Admittedly, he is a rather unscrupulous god, but none of his exploits can prepare him for his ultimate challenge. To keep his cushy job, he must revive the faded career of Dave McGuinn and catapult that dusty hit American Sky into Americas Number 1 Song. Macucci decides that the only way to ensure success is to perfectly time a hit on the aging singer. Trouble is, the music maestro begins to admire the performer. As Macucci ultimately discovers, its far more difficult to call off a hit than to plan one.
Neglected and Underutilized Crops
Neglected and Underutilized Crops: Future Smart Food explores future food crops with climate resilience potential. Sections cover their botany, nutritional significance, global distribution, production technology, and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses of neglected and underutilized crops. By simply changing species in a crop rotation system, the cycle of some pests and diseases is disrupted and probabilities of infestations are reduced. Finally, the book provides case studies that highlight where the adaptation of crops to local environments, especially with regard to climate change, have been successful.These crops can help make agricultural production systems more resilient to clima...

Writing, Speech and Flesh in Lacanian Psychoanalysis
This book explores the place of the flesh in the linguistically-inflected categories of Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis, drawing explicit attention to the organic as an inherent part of the linguistic categories that appear in the writings of Freud and Lacan. Lacan’s ‘return to Freud’ famously involves a ‘linguistic turn’ in psychoanalysis. The centering of language as a major operator in psychic life often leads to a dualistic or quasi-dualistic view in which language and the enjoyment of the body are polarized. Exploring the intricate connections of the linguistic and the organic in both Lacanian and Freudian psychoanalysis from its beginnings, Zisser shows that surprisingly...
The Magic of Silence
No German painter evokes such strong emotions as Caspar David Friedrich: his evening skies remain icons of longing, his mountain vistas testaments to the grandeur of nature. He inspired Samuel Beckett to write Waiting for Godot and Walt Disney to create Bambi. Goethe, however, was so enraged by the enigmatic melancholy of Friedrich’s paintings that he wanted to smash them on the edge of a table. In a sweeping journey through time, bestselling author Florian Illies tells the story of Friedrich’s paintings and their impact on subsequent generations. Many of his most beautiful paintings were burned, first in his birthplace and then in World War II; others, like the Chalk Cliffs on Rügen, e...
Lagerland
Das 20. Jahrhundert wird zu Recht als Jahrhundert der Lager bezeichnet. Im Umland der ehemaligen Reichshauptstadt Berlin, dem heutigen Land Brandenburg, hatten zwei Konzentrationslager, drei große Kriegsgefangenen-Stammlager, mehrere Hundert Außenlager und noch mehr »zivile« Zwangsarbeits- und weitere Lager ihren Platz. Diese vielfach vergessenen Orte aufzuspüren, ihre materiellen Reste zu erforschen, sie als Denkmale und (Ge)Denkorte zu bewahren und gleichzeitig neue Zugänge zu ihnen ermöglichen, ist seit über 25 Jahren die Aufgabe der Archäologie. Zugänge zu den dort eingesperrten Menschen ermöglichen die zahllosen Funde: Sie sprechen für die mittlerweile aussterbende Zeitzeugen-Generation. Sie bezeugen sowohl Einzelschicksale als auch Massenverbrechen im 20. Jahrhundert: gegen jeden Versuch der Relativierung und Leugnung. Die Erforschung der jüngsten Vergangenheit mit Mitteln der Archäologie wird hier erstmals für ein deutsches Bundesland exemplarisch vorgeführt.
Qualität in Pfarreien
Kirche hat einen Auftrag. Sie soll das Licht Christi in der Welt wahrnehmbar machen (LG 1). Woran machen wir aber fest, dass die Pfarreien diesen Auftrag erfüllen? Wie muss die Pastoral in den Pfarreien gestaltet werden, um der gewünschten Wirkung möglichst nahezukommen? Pfarreien unterscheiden sich in Vorgehensweise und Wirkung. Der Autor erarbeitet Qualitätskriterien für Pfarreien, um pastorales Handeln zukunftsfähig zu gestalten. Er bietet ein Qualitätsmodell für die Pastoral an und zeigt auf, welches Gewicht die einzelnen Handlungsansätze entfalten. Die Mitarbeitenden vor Ort können sich daran gerade bei Veränderungsprozessen und in Zeiten gesellschaftlichen Wandels orientieren. In Literatur und in Interviews angebotene Kriterien wurden in einer Erhebung unter 397 Pfarreien aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum mit 1711 befragten Personen überprüft.
