Echinoderms in a Changing World
Echinoderms are an ancient and diverse group of marine animals with a rich fossil record. They occur abundantly in all modern oceans and at all depths, where they contribute importantly to patterns in biodiversity and to the structure and functioning of marine systems. It is therefore vital to understand how they will respond to a rapidly cha

Autonomous Driving
This book takes a look at fully automated, autonomous vehicles and discusses many open questions: How can autonomous vehicles be integrated into the current transportation system with diverse users and human drivers? Where do automated vehicles fall under current legal frameworks? What risks are associated with automation and how will society respond to these risks? How will the marketplace react to automated vehicles and what changes may be necessary for companies? Experts from Germany and the United States define key societal, engineering, and mobility issues related to the automation of vehicles. They discuss the decisions programmers of automated vehicles must make to enable vehicles to ...
A Modern History of German Criminal Law
Increasingly, international governmental networks and organisations make it necessary to master the legal principles of other jurisdictions. Since the advent of international criminal tribunals this need has fully reached criminal law. A large part of their work is based on comparative research. The legal systems which contribute most to this systemic discussion are common law and civil law, sometimes called continental law. So far this dialogue appears to have been dominated by the former. While there are many reasons for this, one stands out very clearly: Language. English has become the lingua franca of international legal research. The present book addresses this issue. Thomas Vormbaum is one of the foremost German legal historians and the book's original has become a cornerstone of research into the history of German criminal law beyond doctrinal expositions; it allows a look at the system’s genesis, its ideological, political and cultural roots. In the field of comparative research, it is of the utmost importance to have an understanding of the law’s provenance, in other words its historical DNA.

Ecosystem Goods and Services from Plantation Forests
Plantation forests often have a negative image. They are typically assumed to be poor substitutes for natural forests, particularly in terms of biodiversity conservation, carbon storage, provision of clean drinking water and other non-timber goods and services. Often they are monocultures that do not appear to invite people for recreation and other direct uses. Yet as this book clearly shows, they can play a vital role in the provision of ecosystem services, when compared to agriculture and other forms of land use or when natural forests have been degraded. This is the first book to examine explicitly the non-timber goods and services provided by plantation forests, including soil, water and...
Adventus
Die Ausgestaltung des Verhaltnisses von Stadtherr und Burgergemeinde hat die Stadtgeschichtsforschung seit jeher beschaftigt. In den letzten Jahrzehnten geschieht dies zunehmend unter der Perspektive der Begriffe Konflikt und Konsens. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die Darstellung des erreichten Konsenses, aber auch die Losung von Konflikten stets durch eine von Ritual und Zeremoniell bestimmte Inszenierung gepragt war. Im herrscherlichen und furstlichen Adventus, dem Einzug des Stadtherrn in die Stadt zur Konstituierung von Herrschaft, verdichtete sich in feierlicher Form das Selbstverstandnis beider Parteien, wurden Konsens und Eintracht, aber auch Zwietracht und Konflikt im Ritual zum Ausdruck gebracht. Die hier versammelten Beitrage behandeln aus historischer und kunsthistorischer Perspektive dieses komplexe Ritualgeschehen, dessen geistliche wie auch weltliche Bestandteile unterschiedliche Traditionen aufweisen. Peter Johanek ist Professor em. fur mittelalterliche Geschichte an der Universitat Munster. Angelika Lampen ist Geschaftsfuhrerin des Instituts fur vergleichende Stadte- geschichte in Munster.
Insect Mouthparts
This is the first comprehensive book focusing on the form and function of insect mouthparts. Written by leading experts, it reviews the current knowledge on feeding types and the evolution of mouthparts and presents new research approaches. The richly illustrated articles cover topics ranging from functional morphology, biomechanics of biting and chewing, and the biophysics of fluid-feeding to the morphogenesis and genetics of mouthpart development, ecomorphology in flower-visiting insects as well as the evolution of mouthparts, including fossil records. Intended for entomologists and scientists interested in interdisciplinary approaches, the book provides a solid basis for future scientific work. Chapter 6 of this book is available open access under a CC BY 4.0 license at link.springer.com.
