“The wicked man who destroys the earth won’t last long, and he will eventually be swallowed by the earth,” Engineer Timothy Muller, the Operations Chief of the Bechtel Corporation, said as he addressed more than fifty people that day. The crowd was mainly composed of engineers and firefighters hired by the company to help put out the flames coming from the oil wells and refineries in Kuwait.

Research on concepts has concentrated on how people apply concepts when presented with a stimulus. Equally important, however, is the use of concepts offline, while planning what to do or thinking about what is the case. There is strong evidence that inferences driven by conceptual thought draw heavily on special-purpose resources--sensory, motoric, affective, and evaluative. At the same time, concepts afford general-purpose recombination and support content-general...
An exhilarating, genre-bending exploration of curiosity’s powerful capacity to connect ideas and people. Curious about something? Google it. Look at it. Ask a question. But is curiosity simply information seeking? According to this exhilarating, genre-bending book, what’s left out of the conventional understanding of curiosity are the wandering tracks, the weaving concepts, the knitting of ideas, and the thatching of knowledge systems—the networks, the relations between ideas and between people. Curiosity, say Perry Zurn and Dani Bassett, is a practice of connection: it connects ideas into networks of knowledge, and it connects knowers themselves, both to the knowledge they seek and to...
Das Recht der Europaischen Union nimmt vielfach Einfluss auf nationale Gesetze, besonders im Verwaltungsverfahrensrecht. Timotheus Muller untersucht, wie der Gesetzgeber in Deutschland und Spanien mit dieser Herausforderung fur Dogmatik und Systematik umgeht. Aus dem Vergleich der beiden traditionsreichen Verwaltungsrechtsordnungen gewinnt er Erkenntnisse zu grundsatzlichen Fragen der Europaisierung und zur Zukunft nationaler Kodifikationen. Behandelt werden dabei sowohl aktuelle Themen wie E-Government, bessere Rechtsetzung oder gute Verwaltung als auch "Klassiker" des Verwaltungsverfahrensrechts. So konnen anhand konkreter Einzelpunkte Entwicklungsperspektiven aufgezeigt und Reformvorschlage entwickelt werden. Ziel ist dabei die Erarbeitung konkreter Perspektiven fur verbundkompatible und strukturwahrend-adaptive Kodifikationen des Verwaltungsverfahrensrechts auf der Hohe der Zeit.
There is a saying among winemakers that "great wine begins with dirt." Beginning from this intriguing premise, The Winemaker's Dance embarks on an eye-opening exploration of "terroir" in one of the greatest places on earth to grow wine—California's Napa Valley. Jonathan Swinchatt and David G. Howell weave a tale that begins millions of years ago with the clash of continental plates that created the Napa Valley and go on to show how this small region, with its myriad microclimates, complex geologic history, and dedicated winemakers, came to produce world-class wines. A fascinating look at the art and science of winemaking and the only comprehensive book that covers Napa's geology, history, ...
“Go into partnership with nature; she does more than half the work and asks none of the fee.” - Martin H. Fisher. Nature has undertaken an immense amount of work throughout evolution. The evolutionary process has provided a power of information that can address key questions such as - Which immune molecules and pathways are conserved across species? Which molecules and pathways are exploited by pathogens to cause disease? What methods can be broadly used or readily adapted for wild immunology? How does co-infection and exposure to a dynamic environment affect immunity? Section 1 addresses these questions through an evolutionary approach. Laboratory mice have been instrumental in dissecti...
