Barbarians of Wealth
How the actions of a few in Europe destroyed the prosperity of the many (and how it's happening again now in America) After the fall of the Roman Empire, vicious barbaric tribes including the Hunds lead by Atilla, the Mongols, Charlemagne and the Vikings invaded Europe, plundering property and destroying homes. But, they didn't just steal and destroy property in the villages; they also stole and destroyed any prosperity the villagers had previously enjoyed. What's worse is the barbarians of the Dark Ages did all of this not out of any deeply held religious or political belief, but, rather, for the oldest reason in the book – their own personal financial gain. Some things never change. Barb...
Flint on a Bright Stone
Flint on a Bright Stone closes a significant gap in the history of Modernist poetry by identifying the existence of "Tempered Modernism," an international phenomenon exemplified by Akhmatova, Rilke, H.D., and Williams, and characterized by small poems written with precision, restraint, simplicity, equilibrium, and hardness.
Tourism and the Power of Otherness
This book explores the paradoxes of Self–Other relations in the field of tourism. It particularly focuses on the 'power' of different forms of 'Otherness' to seduce and to disrupt, and, eventually, also to renew the social and cosmological orders of 'modern' culture and everyday life. Drawing on a series of ethnographic case studies, the contributors investigate the production, socialisation and symbolic encompassment of different 'Others' as a political and also an economic resource to govern social life in the present. The volume provides a comparative inductive study on the modernist philosophical concepts of time, 'Otherness', and the self in practice, and relates it to contemporary tourism and mobility.
Radiation and the Immune System: Current Knowledge and Future Perspectives
For long, high dose ionizing radiation was considered as a net immune suppressing agent, as shown, among others, by the exquisite radiosensitivity of the lymphoid system to radiation-induced cell killing. However, recent advances in radiobiology and immunology have made this picture more complex. For example, the recognition that radiation-induced bystander effects, share common mediators with various immunological signalling processes, suggests that they are at least partly immune mediated. Another milestone was the finding, in the field of onco-immunology, that local tumor irradiation can modulate the immunogenicity of tumor cells and the anti-tumor immune responsiveness both locally, in t...
Metal-semiconductor hybrid nanoparticles: Halogen induced shape control, hybrid synthesis and electrical transport
Metal-semiconductor hybrid nanoparticles combine materials with different physical properties in one nanostructure. Charge separation processes and potentially increased conductivity in thin film devices make them promising candidates for advanced applications in photocatalysis or (opto) electronics. The work on hand deals with the preparation of CdSe nanoparticles that later act as seeds for the defined deposition of metals and with the electrical characterisation of monolayers of the resulting hybrid structures. In context with the shape control of the semiconductor component in a hot injection synthesis, the role of halogen compounds and the influence of their molecular structure are examined. Analytically as well as theoretically supported explanations for the formation of the evolving hexagonal pyramidal shape, which is especially favourable for metal deposition, are presented. The deposition of different metals onto the obtained semiconductor components is examined and unusual instabilities of an Au shell on CdSe hybrid nanoparticles are investigated. Furthermore, the impact of deposited Pt on the electrical transport of CdSe nanopyramids is demonstrated.

Das 'Heimat-Moment' in Zeiten der Globalisierung: Eine Identitätssuche zwischen Raum, Gefühl und Struktur
In spätmodernen Zeiten sehen wir uns mit globalen Prozessen der Fragmentierung, Beschleunigung und Pluralisierung konfrontiert. Die Welt ist komplex und schnell geworden. Das Individuum wird vor die Aufgabe gestellt, sich mit diesen Entwicklungen auseinanderzusetzen und sich innerhalb dieser zu positionieren. Dabei gerät auch die persönliche Identität in Fluss, sie wird fluide, brüchig und instabil. Es wird der Bedarf nach einem stabilisierenden Moment deutlich. Die These lautet an diesem Punkt, dass es in Zeiten der Globalisierung zu einer Wiederentdeckung der Heimat als Reaktion auf die beschleunigte Lebenswelt kommt - dem ‚Heimat-Moment’. Heimat wirkt innerhalb des Beschleunigung...
Kräuter und Eulen
Das Heft 6 „Kräuter und Eulen – Lernaufgaben für eine Biologie-AG“ entstand in Zusammenarbeit mit Studierenden der Biologiedidaktik und außerschulischen Lernorten. Von Belinda Bdzion wurde mit der „Schule Natur“ eine AG zu „Eulen – Jäger der Nacht“ und von Stefan Slaghekke eine AG zu „Kräutern und Heilpflanzen“ konzipiert. Beide AGs beinhalten experimentelle, motivierende und kreative Einheiten sowie einen Besuch in einer Greifvogelanlage bzw. Zoo oder einem Kräutergarten und bieten sich auch für fachübergreifende Zusammenarbeit mit Physik oder Chemie an. Bei der Entwicklung und Ausarbeitung der Unterrichtsinhalte zum Thema Eulen wurden mit mehreren Schulklassen d...
