Wörterkino
Was für ein Kick! So viele spannende Geschichten für unseren Schreibwettbewerb. Die besten 11 haben wir ausgewählt und in diesem Strombuch veröffentlicht. Es ist ein Experiment. Wir nennen es „Wörterkino“. Am Anfang stand ein kurzer Film des Animationskünstlers Dennis Müller. Dazu haben wir Storys gesucht - und in großer Zahl bekommen. Wir waren erstaunt, dass viele Teilnehmer selbst zugleich ihre härtesten Kritiker sind. Was auch als Spaß-Projekt gedacht war, wurde ernst genommen. Viel Vergnügen jetzt beim Lesen und Abstimmen: Bis Ende des Jahres suchen wir den Sieger des Wettbewerbs.
Lametta-Regen und Glitzerstaub
26 Autor*innen haben Kurzgeschichten unterschiedlichster Art und Genres zum Thema Weihnachten geschrieben. In diesem Buch wird der Heiland gelobt, der Konsum an Weihnachten kritisiert. Es wird geweint, gelacht und gesoffen. Menschen lieben sich und Menschen entlieben sich. Die wahre Existenz des Weihnachtsmannes wird aufgedeckt und doch verschleiert. Vielleicht ist der Weihnachtsmann sogar am Klimawandel schuld. Es sterben Menschen und sogar Tiere. Aber, keine Sorge, der Hund bleibt am Leben. Lesen und sehen Sie selbst. Illustriert von Frau Silberfisch, die weder mehr als sieben Farben, noch Perspektive kennt. Frohes Fest.
Wind Energy
Growing energy demand and environmental consciousness have re-evoked human interest in wind energy. As a result, wind is the fastest growing energy source in the world today. Policy frame works and action plans have already been for- lated at various corners for meeting at least 20 per cent of the global energy - mand with new-renewables by 2010, among which wind is going to be the major player. In view of the rapid growth of wind industry, Universities, all around the world, have given due emphasis to wind energy technology in their undergraduate and graduate curriculum. These academic programmes attract students from diver- fied backgrounds, ranging from social science to engineering and technology. Fundamentals of wind energy conversion, which is discussed in the preliminary chapters of this book, have these students as the target group. Advanced resource analysis tools derived and applied are beneficial to academics and researchers working in this area. The Wind Energy Resource Analysis (WERA) software, provided with the book, is an effective tool for wind energy practitioners for - sessing the energy potential and simulating turbine performance at prospective sites.
Numerical Weather and Climate Prediction
This textbook provides a comprehensive yet accessible treatment of weather and climate prediction, for graduate students, researchers and professionals. It teaches the strengths, weaknesses and best practices for the use of atmospheric models. It is ideal for the many scientists who use such models across a wide variety of applications. The book describes the different numerical methods, data assimilation, ensemble methods, predictability, land-surface modeling, climate modeling and downscaling, computational fluid-dynamics models, experimental designs in model-based research, verification methods, operational prediction, and special applications such as air-quality modeling and flood prediction. This volume will satisfy everyone who needs to know about atmospheric modeling for use in research or operations. It is ideal both as a textbook for a course on weather and climate prediction and as a reference text for researchers and professionals from a range of backgrounds: atmospheric science, meteorology, climatology, environmental science, geography, and geophysical fluid mechanics/dynamics.
The Art of Mark Rothko
In 75 full-color plates, The Art of Mark Rothko is an exploration of the artist and his work over the course of a 50-year career, including his often overlooked formative years. Essays contributed by some of the most influential critics of our time examine all four periods of Rothko's stylistic development. - from Amazon.
When Captain Flint Was Still a Good Man
Cal lives with his parents on Loyalty Island. Each winter, Cal's father - a captain of the island's trawling fleet - sets sail for Alaska; and though Cal is still too young to join them, he is old enough to know that everything depends on the fate of those few boats, thousands of miles north. When the fleet's owner dies, not only is the town's livelihood threatened, but so too is Cal's family. With winter fast approaching, and the fleet on the brink of extinction, Cal starts to suspect that his parents both have secrets to hide. Plagued by doubt, his loyalties strained and his moral compass thrown wildly off course, Cal is forced to make a brave and terrible choice.
Vehicle-to-Grid
This book defines and charts the barriers and future of vehicle-to-grid technology: a technology that could dramatically reduce emissions, create revenue, and accelerate the adoption of battery electric cars. This technology connects the electric power grid and the transportation system in ways that will enable electric vehicles to store renewable energy and offer valuable services to the electricity grid and its markets. To understand the complex features of this emergent technology, the authors explore the current status and prospect of vehicle-to-grid, and detail the sociotechnical barriers that may impede its fruitful deployment. The book concludes with a policy roadmap to advise decision-makers on how to optimally implement vehicle-to-grid and capture its benefits to society while attempting to avoid the impediments discussed earlier in the book.
