This book surveys state-of-the-art research on and developments in lithium-ion batteries for hybrid and electric vehicles. It summarizes their features in terms of performance, cost, service life, management, charging facilities, and safety. Vehicle electrification is now commonly accepted as a means of reducing fossil-fuels consumption and air pollution. At present, every electric vehicle on the road is powered by a lithium-ion battery. Currently, batteries based on lithium-ion technology are ranked first in terms of performance, reliability and safety. Though other systems, e.g., metal-air, lithium-sulphur, solid state, and aluminium-ion, are now being investigated, the lithium-ion system is likely to dominate for at least the next decade – which is why several manufacturers, e.g., Toyota, Nissan and Tesla, are chiefly focusing on this technology. Providing comprehensive information on lithium-ion batteries, the book includes contributions by the world’s leading experts on Li-ion batteries and vehicles.

How is it possible to sustainably implement the ideas of the Right Livelihood Award – also known as the “Alternative Nobel Prize” – in educational and teaching methods of learning as part of future-oriented teacher training? This book addresses this issue in the form of a combination of articles from both an academic and school-related point of view. Education researchers, subject educationalists, expert scientists and teacher trainers present exemplary formats with which prospective teachers can be qualified for the wide-ranging requirements imposed on them as part of globalization and internationalization. In the formats, the contents of Right Livelihood – especially questions concerning ecology, social justice and peace – are addressed in a manner that is age-appropriate and related to experience. Moreover they are dealt with in an interdisciplinary context. The objective is to jointly incorporate the subject of Global Learning as Part of Education for Sustainable Development in the teacher education course and to realize it directly at the chalk face.

Der vierte Band der Reihe "Die Sinne" widmet sich dem "Geschmack". Über Geschmack lässt sich bekanntlich sehr wohl streiten. Und mit leerem Magen neigt man erst recht zur Reizbarkeit, daher heißt es nicht grundlos: Satt und zufrieden. Welches Menü jedoch jeweils zusagt, daran scheiden sich die Geister – und legen damit den Grundstein für den Starkult besonders kreativer Köche. Essen ist zweifellos höchst befriedigend, kann aber leider auch in maßlose Gier ausarten ... Einigkeit besteht darüber, dass bestimmte, mit Kindheitstagen verbundene Essensdüfte, Gerichte oder Naschereien lebenslang von Bedeutung bleiben, und unwillkürlich – oftmals wehmütige – Erinnerungen wecken. Di...
Der fünfte Band der Buchreihe "die Sinne" befasst sich mit der faszinierenden Welt der Gerüche. Sie nehmen im Leben eine ungeheuer wichtige Rolle ein und beeinflussen bewusst oder unbewusst unser Empfinden. Düfte vermögen plötzliche Kindheitserinnerungen und angenehme Erlebnisse aus den Nebeln der Vergangenheit heraufzubeschwören, Gestank dagegen warnt vor Unverträglichem und Gefahr. Nicht zuletzt entscheiden olfaktorische Eindrücke des Gegenübers über spontane Zuneigung oder Ablehnung. Schon seit Jahrhunderten behauptet daher die Duftwasserindustrie, erwünschte Emotionen mittels künstlicher Aromen bewirken zu können. Liebende versinken träumerisch im warmen Duft der gegenseiti...
