        Peptides in Energy Balance and Obesity

        by G Frühbeck

        Obesity is one of the most relevant public health concerns today and it is now evident that body weight control is achieved through highly integrated physiological interactions like nutrient selection as well as being influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Moreover, energy balance regulation is a complex process aimed at maintaining constant energy stores. Presenting a detailed and comprehensive account of the roles of specific peptides in energy balance, food intake control and co-morbidities, this review provides a better understanding of the patho-physiology of energy balance and obesity.

        The Eco-Balance on the Plate

        How What We Eat Can Protect the Climate

        by Dr. Malte Rubach

        How much CO₂ is emitted by one serving of spaghetti bolognese? About 1.5 kilograms! This example shows what the meat industry and food logistics mean for the eco-balance of our food. But is it enough to switch to meat-free and dairy-free alternatives or local specialities? Dr. Malte Rubach takes a closer look and reviews our food regime and its impact on our climate. We live in a society influenced by technology and the rising consumption of resources. Rubach argues for a sensible attitude to food and shows what we can still eat with a clear conscience.

        The senses in interior design

        Sensorial expressions and experiences

        by John Potvin, Marie-Ève Marchand, Benoit Beaulieu

        The senses in interior design examines how sight, touch, smell, hearing and taste have been mobilised within various forms of interiors. The chapters explore how the body navigates and negotiates the realities of designed interiors and challenge the traditional focus on star designers or ideal interiors that have left sensorial agency at the margins of design history. From the sensually gendered role of the fireplace in late sixteenth century Italy to the synaesthetic décors of Comte Robert de Montesquiou and the sensorial stimuli of Aesop stores, each chapter brings a new perspective on the central role that the senses have played in the conception, experiences and uses of interiors.

        Geglückte Balance

        Auf Goethe blickend

        by Friedrich Dieckmann

        Die Frage nach der Modernität Goethes stellt sich für Friedrich Dieckmann nicht – wer Goethe als "Dichterfürsten" vermeintlich rühmt, hat ihn genauso wenig verstanden wie einer, der ihn, in der Nachfolge Ludwig Börnes, als "Fürstenknecht" schmäht. Auch der Klassiker Goethe ist ein Klischee; es sind die Häutungen, die Verwandlungen dieses Autors, die, über die Einschnitte seiner und unserer Zeit hinweg, Gestalt und Werk lebendig machen - man muß nur zu lesen wissen. Hierbei zu helfen ist das Anliegen der zehn Essays, die Dieckmann zum Werk Goethes vorlegt. Der zeitliche Rahmen dieser Essays wird abgesteckt durch den Urfaust, das bestürzend kühne Jugendwerk, das seine Überlieferung der Sorgfalt eines Hoffräuleins verdankt, und den zweiten Teil der Fausttragödie, das große Alterswerk, das Goethe erst nach seinem Tod der Öffentlichkeit übergeben wissen wollte. Dazwischen geht es unter anderem darum, wie schwer sich der Napoleon-Bewunderer Goethe tat, den einschneidenden politischen Wandlungen von 1813/14 standzuhalten, und wie er sie, wenig glücklich, dramatisch verarbeitete, um sich danach in einen Orient der Poesie, den West-östlichen Divan, zu retten. Und in erfrischend unkonventionellen Gedichtinterpretationen zeigt sich die "geglückte Balance" zwischen Liebe und Beruf, Politik und Poesie, die Goethes Lebenshaltung prägt; sie kann heute wie damals ein Anhalt sein.

        Common Sense

        Addressed to The Inhabitants of America

        by Thomas Paine

        Published anonymously in 1776, six months before the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Paine’s Common Sense was a radical and impassioned call for America to free itself from British rule and set up an independent republican government. Savagely attacking hereditary kingship and aristocratic institutions, Paine urged a new beginning for his adopted country in which personal freedom and social equality would be upheld and economic and cultural progress encouraged.

With it, students can practice and deepen what they have learned from textbooks. The problems can be solved without aids, and solutions are provided with detailed explanations. The workbook enjoys great popularity after helping countless students study successfully. From the contents: atomic structure and chemical bonds: noble gas configuration, electronegativity, hybridization, intermolecular interactions | nomenclature and structural formulas of inorganic and organic compounds | chemical equations: double transformations, acid-base reactions, complexes | quantities and concentrations of substance: gravimetry, titrations, percent by mass and by volume | law of mass action | acids, bases and salts: calculating pH value, titration curves, buffers, solubility product | redox reactions and oxidation numbers, Nernst equation | complex compounds | configurational and conformational isomerism | inductive and mesomeric effects | substitution, addition, elimination | aromatic compounds: reactions and second substitution | natural products: carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, peptides | carbonyl reactions: carboxylic acids, aldehydes, ketones

        Taste of theory

        by Zhao Qiang

        The author is Zhao Qiang, deputy editor-in-chief of Global Times. The manuscript features more than 30 political essays created by the author during his studies at the Party School of the Communist Party of China. For example, "Confidence in the system, how do you feel confident", "I really admire you, respect for truth from facts", etc .; "Theoretical study, not too utilitarian", "Popular, and then popular", etc., in-depth thinking on how to use the weapon of theory; The author changed the face of the theoretical article that was boring, hard and cold, and refused to be thousands of miles away. The reasoning was based on trivial matters, making the article have a strong sense of responsibility, the weight of the theory and the ease of the form.

        A Vision of Battlements

        by Anthony Burgess

        by Andrew Biswell, Paul Wake

        A Vision of Battlements is the first novel by the writer and composer Anthony Burgess, who was born in Manchester in 1917. Set in Gibraltar during the Second World War, the book follows the fortunes of Richard Ennis, an army sergeant and incipient composer who dreams of composing great music and building a new cultural world after the end of the war. Following the example of his literary hero, James Joyce, Burgess takes the structure of his book from Virgil's Aeneid. The result is, like Joyce's Ulysses, a comic rewriting of a classical epic, whose critique of the Army and the postwar settlement is sharp and assured. The Irwell Edition is the first publication of Burgess's forgotten masterpiece since 1965. This new edition includes an introduction and notes by Andrew Biswell, author of a prize-winning biography of Anthony Burgess.

        Making sense of the Bayeux Tapestry

        Readings and reworkings

        by Anna Henderson, Bill Sherman

        This book aims to make sense of the Bayeux Tapestry by bringing together answers to a number of questions which this famous hanging presents to the viewer. How did the embroiderers organise the stitching of the Bayeux Tapestry? Are its limited colours used with greater sophistication than viewers have recognised? What do we know of the Tapestry's supporting cast: naked figures in the margins and clerics present at events in the main register? Can we learn anything about the original purpose of the Tapestry from detailed examination of Bayeux Cathedral's 1476 Inventory, the first known reference to the Tapestry's existence? This book combines up-to-the-minute research with an introduction that draws on the contributors' personal observations in order to interrogate the Tapestry's enduring value. Bringing together contributions from leading specialists and newer voices in the field, it will be essential reading for students and scholars of the Bayeux Tapestry, medieval art and culture. ;
