Wer in ein anderes Land geht, fühlt sich oft fremd - anders als die anderen. Aber auch daheim bleiben schützt vor diesem Gefühl nicht. Es lauert im falschen Job, geht mit seltsamen Freunden ein und aus, tarnt sich als Krankheit oder Vorurteil. Fremdsein fühlt sich nach Isolation an - aber im Grunde ist es ein Gefühl, das verbindet, weil wir es alle kennen. Diese Anthologie versammelt Geschichten über das Fremdsein diverser Autorinnen und Autoren - unter anderem Franz Hohler und Felicitas Pommerening. Alle Einnahmen kommen internationalen Hilfsprojekten für Flüchtlingskinder zu Gute.
After graduating from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich), Mario Campi opened his own architecture office in Lugano in 1962. From 1977 to 1984, he was heavily involved with teaching activities at several American universities including Cornell and Harvard, then after returning to Z rich he became Professor for Architecture at the ETH Zurich in 1985. Campi's buildings are stark in form and elegantly composed, characterised by their concentration on the structural essentials, devoid of superfluity. Although his buildings are functional and very much of today, they also evoke a sense of serenity reminiscent of classical architecture. In this respect Campi is one of the major exponents of Italian rationalism. This monograph presents Campi's recent buildings and projects, highlighting his analytical approach. The projects featured include residential buildings in Lugano and the recently completed buildings for the chemistry faculty at the ETH Zurich.
This book is an essential reading for students, researchers and non-academic experts dealing with environmental, economic and social science aspects of the circular bioeconomy and with sustainability in general.
As western-style food systems extend further around the world, food sustainability is becoming an increasingly important issue. Such systems are not sustainable in terms of their consumption of resources, their impact on ecosystems or their effect on health and social inequality. From 2009 to 2011, the duALIne project, led by INRA and CIRAD, assembled a team of experts to investigate food systems downstream of the farm, from the farm gate, to consumption and the disposal of waste. Representing a diverse range of backgrounds spanning academia and the public and private sectors, the project aimed to review the international literature and identify major gaps in our knowledge. This book brings together its key conclusions and insights, presenting state-of-the-art research in food sustainability and identifying priority areas for further study. It will provide a valuable resource for researchers, decision-makers and stakeholders in the food industry.

Advanced Tools and Models to Improve River Basin Management in Europe in the Context of Climate Change - AquaTerra has developed from an integrated project of the 6th EU RTD Framework Programme that aims to provide the scientific basis for an improved river basin management through a better understanding of the river-sediment-soil-groundwater system as a whole, by integrating both natural and socio-economics aspects at different temporal and spatial scales. This book aims: To provide better understanding of the river-sediment-soil-groundwater system at various temporal and spatial scales To relate expected climate alterations to changes in deposition, mobility and distribution of pollutants ...
sous la direction d’Anne Godard La littérature dans l’enseignement du FLE Alors que la didactique de la littérature en français langue maternelle a connu de grandes évolutions depuis une dizaine d’années, les travaux en didactique du français langue étrangère et le matériel pédagogique produit en référence à l’approche par compétences mise en avant par le Cadre européen commun de référence pour les langues, ont réservé une place réduite à la littérature. Dans le même temps, plusieurs transformations ont affecté la littérature, comme objet et comme discipline, la situant dans un continuum de pratiques culturelles et dans une francophonie élargie qui modifient...
Decades later, starting in the 1980s, Japanese cultural primatology was given a second look as Euro-American primatologists began to debate amongst themselves the question of whether Homo sapiens is the only cultural animal. In the most recent chapter of this controversy, field researchers such as the Swiss primatologist Christophe Boesch have accused experimental psychologists such as Michael Tomasello of underestimating and even denying the capacity of chimpanzees for culture because they limit their studies to captive animals, brought up under cognitively debilitating conditions and tested in laboratory settings bound to favor human test subjects with whom the animals are compared. These controversies raise serious questions about what sort of laboratory culture is best for the study of primate cognition. .
