Coal
While concerns about climate change have focused negative attention on the coal industry in recent years, as descendants of the industrial revolution we have all benefitted from the mining of the black seam. Coal has significantly influenced the course of human history and our social and natural environments. This book takes readers on a journey through the extraordinary artistic responses to coal, from its role in the works of writers such as Émile Zola, D. H. Lawrence, and George Orwell; to the way it inspired the work of painters, including J. M. W. Turner, Claude Monet, and Vincent van Gogh; to the place of coal in film, song, and folklore; as well as the surprising allure of coal tourism. Strikingly illustrated, Coal provides engaging and informative insight into the myriad ways coal has affected our lives.
The Penguin History of Modern Spain
‘The best account in a single volume of Spain since 1898, exemplary for concision and for accuracy in the use of language, as well as for equanimity and generosity of spirit’ Felipe Fernández-Armesto, TLS A revelatory new history of Spain, from the late nineteenth century to the twenty-first 'Spain is different,' proclaimed the Franco regime in the 1940s, keen to attract foreign tourists.

Föredragen om Satipaṭṭhāna sutta
I över 40 års tid undervisade S.N. Goenka (1924-2013) i Vipassanameditation, enligt de instruktioner han fått av sin lärare, Sayagyi U Ba Khin (1899-1971). Även efter S.N. Goenkas död deltar varje år hundratusentals människor i meditationskurser enligt den levande tradition han representerar. Satipaṭṭhāna sutta anses av många vara Buddhas viktigaste föredrag om meditation. I denna bok ges Goenkajis tolkning av detta föredrag, baserat på undervisningen på den 7-dagarskurs i Satipaṭṭhāna sutta som ges varje år på Vipassanacenter runtom i varlden. Denna bok bör med fördel läsas tillsammans med häftet Maha-satipaṭṭhāna sutta, som innehåller själva föredraget på pälispråket som talades av Buddha, med en fullständig översättning till svenska. Häftet är kursmaterial på 7-dagars- kursen i Satipaṭṭhāna sutta.
The Leading Facts of New Mexican History
Historians have long admired Ralph Emerson Twitchell's "The Leading Facts of New Mexican History," considered the first major history of the state. Put succinctly by former State Historian Robert J. Torrez, Twitchell's work (of which this is one of the first two volumes Sunstone Press is reprinting in its Southwest Heritage Series) has "become the standard by which all subsequent books on New Mexico history are measured." As Twitchell wrote in the preface of his first volume, his goal in writing "The Leading Facts" was to respond to the "pressing need" for a history of New Mexico with a commitment to "accuracy of statement, simplicity of style, and impartiality of treatment." Ralph Emerson T...
Profil des systèmes alimentaires - Mauritanie
Les systèmes alimentaires sont directement liés à la réalisation de l’ensemble des objectifs de développement durable (ODD). L’impératif – et le défi – pour les systèmes alimentaires n’est pas seulement de produire des aliments pour assurer la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle, mais aussi de préserver les ressources naturelles et la biodiversité, et de contribuer à des moyens d’existence équitables à long terme pour toutes et tous. Ce document présente en une dizaine de pages un condensé des problématiques principales des systèmes alimentaires de Mauritanie et les solutions possibles pour les rendre plus durables et inclusifs. Il est le résultat d'une analyse systémique et d'une consultation de tous les acteurs des systèmes alimentaires dans plus de 50 pays. Il entre dans le cadre d'une évaluation appuyée par l'Union européenne, la FAO et le Cirad qui a pour but de déterminer les grands enjeux et les solutions possibles afin d’activer la transformation durable et inclusive de ces systèmes.
Molecular Magnets
This book provides an overview of the physical phenomena discovered in magnetic molecular materials over the last 20 years. It is written by leading scientists having made the most important contributions to this active area of research. The main topics of this book are the principles of quantum tunneling and quantum coherence of single-molecule magnets (SMMs), phenomena which go beyond the physics of individual molecules, such as the collective behavior of arrays of SMMs, the physics of one-dimensional single–chain magnets and magnetism of SMMs grafted on substrates. The potential applications of these physical phenomena to classical and quantum information, communication technologies, and the emerging fields of molecular spintronics and magnetic refrigeration are stressed. The book is written for graduate students, researchers and non-experts in this field of research.
