Referring to the focus of the biosciences on molecular "particles" of the human biology, such as stem cells, genes, and neurons, this account examines the relationships between culture, society, and bioscientific research. Showing that the atomized body is indeed socially and culturally embedded, in plural and complex ways, it argues that biomedicine and biotechnology do not only intersect with the human body, but also reshape our perceptions of selfhood and life. From a multidisciplinary perspective, this volume explores the biosciences and the atomized body in their social, cultural, and philosophical contexts.

Dieses Buch legt den Fokus auf die Integration von Elektrobussen in den öffentlichen Personennahverkehr. Die Probleme der Elektromobilität, wie beispielsweise die Ladeinfrastruktur und Akkumulator-Effizienz können durch verschiedene technische Lösungen verbessert bzw. umgangen werden. Die ersten elektrisch betriebenen Busmodelle wurden gerade im asiatischen Raum entworfen, aber zur echten Marktreife haben es diese Busse noch nicht geschafft. Dennoch werden die oftmals belächelten „Elektrobusse“ immer mehr zur echten Alternative gegenüber den Fahrzeugen mit Dieselmotor, gerade im Hinblick auf die Diskussion um die Grenzwertüberschreitungen der Schadstoffe in deutschen Innenstädten.
