For conscious consumers, buying clothes has never been more complicated. Even as fashion brands tout their sustainability, the industry is plagued by pollution, waste, and poor working conditions. If our clothes reflect our values, is it possible to be truly well-dressed? Sustainable fashion consultant Lucianne Tonti answers with a resounding yes. Beautiful clothes made from natural fabrics including cotton, wool, flax, and cashmere can support rural communities and regenerate landscapes. They can also reduce waste—but only if we invest in garments that stand the test of time rather than chasing fast fashion trends. In Sundressed, Tonti travels the world to showcase producers who are refor...
The relentless advances in all areas of information and communication technology, intelligent systems, and related domains have continued to drive innovative research. Most of these works have attempted to contribute in some form towards improving human life in general and have become indispensable elements of our day-to-day lives. The evolution continues at an accelerated pace while the world faces innumerable challenges and rapid advances in artificial intelligence, wireless communication, sensors, cloud and edge computing, and biomedical sciences. These advances must be documented and studied further in order to ensure society’s continual development. The Handbook of Research on Evolvin...
What Is Holography Holography is a technique that enables a wavefront to be recorded and later re-constructed. Holography is best known as a method of generating three-dimensional images, but it also has a wide range of other applications. In principle, it is possible to make a hologram for any type of wave. How You Will Benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Holography Chapter 2: Diffraction Chapter 3: Microscopy Chapter 4: Interferometry Chapter 5: Photorefractive effect Chapter 6: Particle image velocimetry Chapter 7: Holographic data storage Chapter 8: Interference lithography Chapter 9: Rainbow hologram Chapter 10: Holographic interferometry Chapter...
The district of Kusel was situated in the western part of the German Palatinate, from which area came many early emigrants to America. Considering the almost permanent residence of the Palatines in a given area (prior to emigration), the proof that a particular name occurs in an early visitation, as this publication does for Kusel, is almost sufficient evidence of the linkage between the emigrant and his forebears--a full century before the great period of emigration.
Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit Quellen zur Geschichte der Bistümer Reims und Trier seit dem 8. Jahrhundert. Am Anfang stehen wesentliche Angaben zur Geschichte dieser Bistümer im frühen Mittelalter, die hauptsächlich auf Nachrichten des einflussreichen Reimser Erzbischofs Hinkmar (845-882) zurückgehen. In der Folge vielfach rezipiert, prägen sie bis heute nachhaltig Überlieferung und Forschungsstand zu beiden Orten. Im Zentrum der Untersuchung stehen ein Reimser Königsgrab und der vermeintliche Bischof Milo, der beide Metropolen längere Zeit gemeinsam innegehabt haben soll. Doch das kirchenrechtlich nur schwer zu begründende Doppelamt und die über mehrere Jahrhundert...
The works of Jean Paul (Johann Paul Friedrich Richter, 1763-1825) combined the idealism of Fichte with the sentimentality of the Sturm und Drang movement. In this study the relation between Jean Paul and 18th-century philosophy is described as dialogical in the sense that the author's statements concerning aesthetics, ethics, and religion take the form of appeals and responses to other philosophical texts. Three of his novels, Unsichtbare Loge, Hesperus, and Titan, are involved not only with the representation of quasi-fictive worlds, but also with the ironic reinscription of philosophemes from such sources as Herder, Jacobi, Platner, and Fichte. This inquiry into Jean Paul's «Seelen-Mythologie» and its problematic depiction of symbolic individuals takes into account the theory of the sublime and the «beautiful soul» which emerged during the enlightenment.
