Yo-Ho Piraten
Willkommen an Bord bei unseren Piraten! Sie sollten jetzt Ihre Sitze in eine aufrechte Position bringen, denn wir steuern stürmische Zeiten an. Verankern Sie Ihre Füße besser fest auf den Planken von Schiffen aller Art; gleich ob mit Wind, Dampf, Benzin oder mit Hyperbiumkernen betrieben. Vergnügen Sie sich in den sonnigen Gefilden der Karibik, der lauen Ostsee, oder treten Sie Ihren eiskalten Ritt in die Arktis oder ins All an. Gleich wohin Sie Ihre Reise auch gebucht haben, genießen Sie die Aussichten auf rachsüchtige Kontrahenten, Kannibalen, Amazonen, uneingeschränkten Rum-genuss ohne Konsequenzen, den Verlust von Zähnen, Gliedmaßen und Schiffen, unvorstellbare Reichtümer aus Lakritzschnecken und Diamant-Kakadus, Flüche aller Arten und das schlimmste No-Go seit Anbeginn der Schifffahrt: Frauen am Steuer! Wir laden Sie ein. Seien Sie Gast in der Crew unserer fantastischen Literapiraten und wir lehren Sie das Fürchten ... ähm ... man wird Sie fürchten.
Transition to Renewable Energy Systems
In this ready reference, top academic researchers, industry players and government officers join forces to develop commercial concepts for the transition from current nuclear or fossil fuel-based energy to renewable energy systems within a limited time span. They take into account the latest science and technology, including an analysis of the feasibility and impact on the environment, economy and society. In so doing, they discuss such complex topics as electrical and gas grids, fossil power plants and energy storage technologies. The contributions also include robust, conceivable and breakthrough technologies that will be viable and implementable by 2020.
The Emergence of Pressure Blade Making
Human development is a long and steady process that began with stone tool making. Because of this skill, humans were able to adapt to climate changes, discover new territories, and invent new technologies. "Pressure knapping" is the common term for one method of creating stone tools, where a larger device or blade specifically made for this purpose is use to press out the stone tool. Pressure knapping was invented in different locations and at different points in time, representing the adoption of the Neolithic way of life in the Old world. Recent research on pressure knapping has led for the first time to a global thesis on this technique. The contributors to this seminal work combine research findings on pressure knapping from different cultures around the globe to develope a cohesive theory. This contributions to this volume represents a significant development to research on pressure knapping, as well as the field of lithic studies in general. This work will be an important reference for anyone studying the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic periods, lithic studies, technologies, and more generally, cultural transmission.
Transition to Peace
This book enhances our understanding of how societies torn by violence can be rebuilt. Instabilities in those societies continue to be fuelled by political marginalization, economic-social inequality, violent crimes, and injustice. Historically, international response has been largely inadequate due to a failure of adaptation to local circumstances. This collection focuses on how peacebuilding programmes can be more effectively carried out to create a more functional society. In a nutshell, this volume sheds light on local practice and experiences that can be utilized to meet unique circumstances of countries that have suffered from a destructive conflict. The collection will investigate the transition to peace by highlighting the missing links between peacebuilding norms and practice, political economy, emotions, justice, and reconciliation.
Taming the Sun
How solar could spark a clean-energy transition through transformative innovation—creative financing, revolutionary technologies, and flexible energy systems. Solar energy, once a niche application for a limited market, has become the cheapest and fastest-growing power source on earth. What's more, its potential is nearly limitless—every hour the sun beams down more energy than the world uses in a year. But in Taming the Sun, energy expert Varun Sivaram warns that the world is not yet equipped to harness erratic sunshine to meet most of its energy needs. And if solar's current surge peters out, prospects for replacing fossil fuels and averting catastrophic climate change will dim. Innova...
