Cinderella across Cultures
The Cinderella story is retold continuously in literature, illustration, music, theatre, ballet, opera, film, and other media, and folklorists have recognized hundreds of distinct forms of Cinderella plots worldwide. The focus of this volume, however, is neither Cinderella as an item of folklore nor its alleged universal meaning. In Cinderella across Cultures, editors Martine Hennard Dutheil de la Rochère, Gillian Lathey, and Monika Wozniak analyze the Cinderella tale as a fascinating, multilayered, and ever-changing story constantly reinvented in different media and traditions. The collection highlights the tale’s reception and adaptation in cultural and national contexts across the glob...
Advances and Impacts of the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving
This book offers a collection of cutting-edge research on the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ). Introduced by Genrich Altshuller in 1956, TRIZ has since been used by engineers, inventors and creators as an essential structured innovation method at businesses and organizations around the globe. The chapters of this book showcase work by selected authors from the 'TRIZ Future' conferences, which are organized by the European TRIZ Association (ETRIA). The chapters reflect an international mix of new ideas on TRIZ and knowledge-based innovation, highlight recent advances in the TRIZ community, and provide examples of successful collaboration between industry and academia. The book first introduces the reader to recent methodological innovations, then provides an overview of established and new TRIZ tools, followed by a collection of case studies and examples of TRIZ implementation in various scientific and social contexts.

Translation als Gestaltung
Dieser Band präsentiert Beiträge namhafter Autor:innen zur translatorischen Theorie und Praxis. Die Themen reichen von der Ausgestaltung der Disziplin, unter anderem mit Blick auf zentrale Grundfragen des Übersetzens, Aspekte von Multimodalität und soziokognitive Translationsprozesse, bis hin zu Studien aus dem Feld der (Literary) Translator Studies, in denen Übersetzer:innen als Gestalter:innen im Zentrum stehen. Weitere Abschnitte widmen sich dem weiten Feld der literarischen Übersetzung, mit Fallstudien zu Übersetzungen aus verschiedenen Genres (Belletristik, Lyrik, Theatertexte, Operntexte, Jugendliteratur, Comics), sowie dem Wirken von fiktionalen Translator:innen in Film und Literatur. Ein persönlicher Nachklang mit Fokus auf dem Operntext als Übersetzungsphänomen runden den Sammelband ab. Der Band richtet sich an Forscher:innen aus der Translationswissenschaft und verwandten Disziplinen. Er liefert einen Einblick in rezente zentrale Entwicklungen des Fachs und spiegelt die facettenreiche Themenvielfalt aktuellen translationswissenschaftlichen Schaffens.

Advances in Organic Coatings 2018
The recent huge developments in nanotechnology and surface science are allowing the production of multifunctional coatings materials combining different properties: corrosion-protective actions, aesthetic functions, hydrophobic properties, self-healing abilities, etc. Moreover the increasing attention to environmental issues is driving the development of new systems, joining advanced performance with high sustainability, which can be better understood using new highly efficient experimental techniques. This frame is inducing us to consider the advances in organic coatings (the skin of materials) as one of the most interesting and promising innovation fields in material science and technology, with important consequences, not only considering fundamental aspects in science, but also for industrial applications, positively affecting everyday life. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide an update of the most advanced research in this area, showing the innovation trends and promoting further research for better properties of new coating materials.

Innovation in Pharmacy: Advances and Perspectives. September 2018
This book contains the summaries of the "Innovation in Pharmacy: Advances and Perspectives" that took place in Salamanca (Spain) in September 2018. The early science of chemistry and microbiology were the source of most drugs until the revolution of genetic engineering in the mid 1970s. Then biotechnology made available novel protein agents such as interferons, blood factors and monoclonal antibodies that have changed the modern pharmacy. Over the past year, a new pharmacy of oligonucleotides has emerged from the science of gene expression such as RNA splicing and RNA interference. The ability to design therapeutic agents from genomic sequences will transform treatment for many diseases. The...
Cosmos 1999 - The Third Year of Space 1999
What does Gerry Anderson's television series SPACE 1999 have in common with Carl Sagan's award-winning television documentary COSMOS? Not very much, one might expect, but this book documents an Online Alpha discussion where fans of the science fiction series discuss and debate differences and similarities from a wide range of perspectives, some of them arguing that two series may be so closely connected that it might be natural to think of COSMOS as the third year of SPACE 1999. This book is written on an idealistic basis. It is sold at the lowest price the publisher was willing to accept. A free e-book version can be downloaded at www.lulu.com.
