Globalization
The advancement of transportation and communication technology has facilitated greater interaction between people throughout the world, a process known as globalization. Because of its various economic, social, cultural, and environmental implications, attitudes toward globalization are ambivalent. There are concerns about the exploitation of people and resources from less economically stable countries and the destruction of cultural traditions, but at the same time it has allowed the world to open up for people on an international scale. It is important to weigh the many costs and benefits of this complicated issue to form a reasoned response, which this book adeptly supports.
IMPORTANCE OF PLANTS TO LIFE ON EARTH
Without plants, life as we know it could not survive. Plants provide humans and animals with air, shelter, food, and more. They harness the sun's power to supply energy to other organisms, protect and nurture environments, and yield endless resources for humans from clothes to medicine. Readers will learn of the invaluable uses and benefits of plants, as well as the threats they face. They will grow to appreciate the necessity of improving our planet through understanding and caring for plant life, and why it's important now more than ever.
andererseits - Yearbook of Transatlantic German Studies
andererseits is a collaborative project undertaken by students and faculties of universities in the USA (Duke and the University of Notre Dame), in Luxembourg (University of Luxembourg), and in Germany (University of Duisburg-Essen). It provides a forum for research and reflection on topics related to the German-speaking world and the field of German Studies. Works presented in the publication come from a wide variety of genres including book reviews, poetry, essays, editorials, forum discussions, academic notes, lectures, as well as traditional peer-reviewed academic articles. By publishing such a diverse array of material, we hope to demonstrate the extraordinary value of the humanities in general, and German Studies in particular, on a variety of intellectual and cultural levels. This edition features special sections on the writers Reinhard Jirgl and Barbara Honigmann as well as - for example - essays on Beethoven's 'Heroic New Path', 'Antisemitism in Germany (1890-1933)', the reception of German literature in Great Britain, and a study of post-Wall East German melodrama.
Inside DNA and RNA
Cells are the basic units of life, but within them are even smaller structures that act as the machinery that keeps us alive. This include the key molecules in cellular biology, deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid—better known as DNA and RNA. These teammates have essential jobs and they work together to make life possible. DNA stores and transfers genetic information, while RNA codes for amino acids and acts as a messenger in the making of proteins. This enlightening book erases much of the mystique surrounding the science of genetics, thanks to thorough explanations of DNA and RNA at work within the body. Numerous diagrams help make this potentially difficult topic more accessible.
