Blossoming gap
A yawning gap between two 1960s buildings is not at all unusual in Cologne. A gap scarcely wide enough to park a few bicycles has been used as an office by the Rendel and Spitz Advertising Agency since 1999.
Comprehensive Handbook of Iodine
Over two billion people worldwide are at risk for the spectrum of disorders known as "The Iodine Deficiency Disorders." 1-10% will suffer cretinism; 5-30% will have some sort of brain damage or neurological impairment and 30-70% will be hypothyroid. The causes of iodine deficiencies can be considered from both simplistic and more complex perspectives: From the leaching of iodine from soil resulting in crops with low iodine content to malnutrition resulting in impaired iodine absorption. Poor dietary diversification and impoverished socio-economic development can also lead to iodine deficiencies. Although it is possible to diagnose and treat deficiencies, there is still an ongoing dialogue re...

Many Urbanisms
Winner, 2023 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Now, for the first time in history, the majority of the world’s population lives in cities. But urbanization is accelerating in some places and slowing down in others. The sprawling megacities of Asia and Africa, as well as many other smaller and medium-sized cities throughout the “Global South,” are expected to continue growing. At the same time, older industrial cities in wealthier countries are experiencing protracted socioeconomic decline. Nonetheless, mainstream urban studies continues to treat a handful of superstar cities in Europe and North America as the exemplars of world urbanism, even though current global growth and developmen...
Playing Days
Fresh out of college and uncertain how to proceed with life, the narrator of Ben Markovits' Playing Days finds himself drifting towards a career that once obsessed his father - professional basketball. Gaining a place on a minor league German team, he leaves Texas and lands in the small rather desolate town of Landshut, playing basketball with an eclectic group of teammates, training for most of the day and then trying to find ways to fill the rest of it. It's an odd, isolated existence, punctuated by the intense excitement - and often intense disappointment - of the game. But then he meets Anke, a young single mother who happens to be the former wife of one of his teammates; and their tentative, burgeoning relationship becomes as significant and as life changing as the game itself. Beautifully written, Playing Days is entirely recognisable in its depiction of the first long summer after university. Tinged with the melancholy and nostalgia of early steps into adulthood, it's the story of a young man's first experience of adult love, and of the discovery of his own limitations.
High-Temperature Superconductors-Crystal Chemistry, Processing and Properties: Volume 659
Papers from a symposium held in Boston Nov. 27-Dec. 1, 2000. Contributors, representing North America, Europe, and Asia, discuss fabrication, characterization, and phase relations in both first- generation (bismuth-based) and second-generation (yttrium-based) superconductors. Topics include recent progress and status of superconductors, processing for high-current critical densities, understanding current transport, processing for development of flux- pinning centers, phase relations/equilibrium, processing/microstructure relationships, and grain boundary properties.

Essalltag in Familien
Wie der Essalltag in Paarhaushalten mit berufstätigen Müttern gestaltet und koordiniert wird, ist bisher in Deutschland kaum untersucht worden. In diesem Band werden erstmals berufsgruppen- und milieuspezifische Befunde einer systematischen Analyse der Zeitbudgets, Mahlzeitenmuster und Strategien zur Organisation der familialen Ernährungsversorgung zwischen privatem und öffentlichem Raum vorgestellt. Die Studie basiert auf einem ökotrophologischen Ansatz und fügt repräsentative Zeitbudgetdaten und detaillierte qualitative Fallanalysen zu einem umfassenden Bild der Ernährungsversorgung in Familienhaushalten zusammen. Aus dem umfänglichen qualitativen Datenmaterial wird eine Typologie familialer Ernährungsversorgungsstile generiert, die innovative Ansatzpunkte für eine zielgruppenbezogene Gesundheits- und Ernährungsprävention eröffnet. Zugleich wird deutlich, dass die derzeit im öffentlichen Raum vorhandenen Strukturen und Angebote zur Entlastung und Unterstützung der Ernährungsversorgung in Familien mit berufstätigen Eltern weder in quantitativer noch in qualitativer Hinsicht ausreichen, was einen erheblichen gesellschaftspolitischen Handlungsbedarf anzeigt.
