U8 Untergrundminiaturen
14 Autor:innen begeben sich auf eine Reise entlang der Berliner Aorta. Die U-Bahnlinie 8 durchquert die Stadt von Norden nach Süden, sie ist ein Abbild unserer Welt: laut, rigoros, absurd und schön. 24 Stationen. 24 Welten. 24 Vorurteile. Es gibt hierzulande wohl kaum eine U-Bahnlinie, die einen dubioseren Ruf hat als die U8: überfüllt, laut, dreckig, abgründig, gefährlich, verdrogt, unberechenbar. Tatsache ist: Die U8 ist eine spezielle U-Bahnlinie, ein Schmelztiegel und Hexenkessel, ein Hieronymus-Bosch-Gemälde in Bewegung. Wer sich auf sie einlässt, ihr und ihren Passagier:innen vorbehaltlos begegnet und mit ihnen durch die pulsierende Hauptschlagader treibt, wird diese Stadt, die...

Pi (π) in Nature, Art, and Culture
In Pi (π) in Nature, Art, and Culture Marcel Danesi revisits the importance of π as a pattern in the structure of reality, fitting in with the Pythagorean view of Order. Pi has cropped up in formulas that describe natural and physical structures which, on the surface, seem to have nothing to do with a circle, but might harbor the archetype of circularity as a principle. Through π, this book thus revisits the implicit ancient Greek view that geometry was a 'hermeneutic science,' a discipline aiming to investigate the connectivity among numbers, shapes, and natural phenomena. It also examines its manifestations in aesthetic, symbolic and cultural structures, which point to an abiding fascination with the circle as an unconscious archetype. Hermeneutic geometry is ultimately about the exploration of the meanings of geometric-mathematical notions to science and human life.
The Business of Development in Post-Colonial Africa
This collection brings together a range of case studies by both established and early career scholars to consider the nexus between business and development in post-colonial Africa. A number of contributors examine the involvement of European companies (most notably those of former colonial powers) in development in various African states at the end of empire and in the early post-colonial era. They explore how businesses were not just challenged by the new international landscape but benefited from the opportunities it offered, particularly those provided by development aid. Other contributors focus on the development agencies of the departing colonial powers to consider how far these served to promote the interests of European companies. Together these case studies constitute an important contribution to our understanding of both business and development in post-colonial Africa, redressing an imbalance in existing histories of both business and development which focus predominantly on the colonial period. This volume breaks new ground as one of the very first to bring the study of foreign companies and development aid into the same frame of analysis
Sustainable Agriculture
Sustainability rests on the principle that we must meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Starving people in poor nations, obesity in rich nations, increasing food prices, on-going climate changes, increasing fuel and transportation costs, flaws of the global market, worldwide pesticide pollution, pest adaptation and resistance, loss of soil fertility and organic carbon, soil erosion, decreasing biodiversity, desertification, and so on. Despite unprecedented advances in sciences allowing to visit planets and disclose subatomic particles, serious terrestrial issues about food show clearly that conventional agriculture is n...
