MidnightSun Publishing

MidnightSun Publishing has grown out of a disenchantment with the established publishing houses in Australia. We know there are plenty of fabulous manuscripts about unusual topics floating around, but publishing new and unknown writers poses a big risk. MidnightSun is prepared to take that risk. We want our readers to be entertained. We want to challenge, excite, enrage and overwhelm. Therefore, we publish books in any genre that have touched us in some way. Because we are a new publishing company, striving to become established, we expect our writers to be enthusiastic about their own work and able to promote it in the wider community.

Essen als ob nicht

Gastrosophische Modelle

by Daniele Dell'Agli

Essen – als ob nicht: als ob es nicht darauf ankäme; als ob es egal wäre, was, wann und wie; nebenbei essen, zwischendurch, weil’s unbedingt sein muß, ohne Sinn und Verstand. Essen, als ob es das Gewöhnlichste und Niedrigste wäre, wofür das Billigste vom Discounter, aus der Kantine, vom Imbißstand gut genug ist; essen, als ob von der wichtigsten Regenerationsquelle für Leib und Seele nicht alles andere abhinge. – Die Autoren des Bandes untersuchen die diskursiven und materiellen Hintergründe der deutschen wie internationalen Eßkultur. Sie bieten Ansätze zu einem anderen, neuen Verständnis eines gerade wegen seiner Alltäglichkeit immer noch unterschätzten Phänomens und streiten für einen in Deutschland längst überfälligen gastrosophical turn. Mit Beiträgen von Jürgen Dollase, Harald Lemke, Daniele Dell’Agli, Martin Reuter, Claus-Dieter Rath u.a.

Natural Polymers for Drug Delivery

by Harsha Kharkwal, Harsha Kharkwal, Anupama Dhiman, Srinivas Janaswamy, Srinivas Janaswamy, Neerupma Dhiman, Ram Prasad, Monika Joshi, Deepshikha Pande Katare, Kumud Bala, Wong Tin Wui, Anirbandeep Bose, Heather Sheardown, Ly Le, Ali Demir Sezer, Erdal Cevher, K.H. Basavaraj, Zeenat Iqbal, Krutika K Sawant, S G Gattani, Vishal V Pande

Natural polymers have been utilized extensively in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, textiles, oil drilling and paint industries. Their non-toxic and inexpensive attributes readily enhance their commercial acceptability and make them potent agents in lieu of synthetic polymers. This book explores the opportunistic utility of natural polymers in developing effective drug delivery systems and provides a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of their source, chemical structure and mechanism of action. Covering novel polymers for drug delivery - in particular extracts from plants, microorganisms and proteins, as well as water soluble and water insoluble biodegradable polymers - it presents an encyclopaedic overview of natural polymers': - quintessential roles in binding drugs towards enhancing bioavailability - modification and derivatization for targeted delivery - role as active drugs Natural Polymers for Drug Delivery is an invaluable resource for researchers, students and industrial scientists in the fields of biochemistry, chemistry, pharmacology and food science. ; This book provides an overview of the source, chemical structure and action mechanism of natural polymers.

Pharmacology for Midwives

Principles, theory and practice

by Dr. Philipp Kircher, Elisabeth Remplik and Dr. Peter Killian

Midwives use drugs on their own authority, or guide and support pregnant and breastfeeding women in their therapy. At the same time, the giving of drugs during pregnancy and lactation frequently entails a balancing act between medical need and experience on the one hand and often the absence of studies with evidence of harmlessness and safety on the other. Anyone who wants to make the correct decisions and deal responsibly with this dilemma can only do so on the basis of solid knowledge. This new reference book provides ideal preparation and imparts the necessary information: - General advice on the handling of drugs and the principles of pharmacology - Description of common drug substances and particular aspects of their use in pregnancy, childbirth and lactation - Treatment options from complementary medicine and phytotherapy - Advice about correct diet The clear and concise presentation of facts as well as numerous illustrations make it easier to understand and grasp the content. Text boxes highlight important elements or refer the reader to interesting additional information: The textbook and reference work for students, practical training and everyday work!

Medicine

The Maieutic Model for Nursing and Treatment

Presentation and Documentation

by Cora van der Kooij

In this successful introductory work, the author describes the principles, rationale, prospects for, and documentation of her maieutic method for nursing and care. The word “maieutics” is derived from the ancient Greek word for “midwife” and draws upon a method developed by Socrates. Through skillful questioning, it reveals the right answers and insights lying dormant in another person’s mind, although he or she was not conscious of them. Cora van der Kooij describes maieutics as midwifery for nursing professionalism. Target Group: Practicing nurses, geriatric nurses, nursing educators

Nanoformulations for Sustainable Agriculture and Environmental Risk Mitigation

by Zeba Khan, Nicoleta Anca Sutan

Nanotechnology research and its application in agriculture has become a major focus in recent years. Nanoformulations offer the possibility to develop more efficient and less damaging agrochemicals in the environment. Smart delivery systems for nanosensors, molecules that can help to detect biotic or abiotic stresses before they can affect production, are being developed and applied. Nanotechnology also provides new techniques for genetic manipulation and plant breeding. The use of nanoformulations in agriculture is increasingly being used to enhance food values, reduce agricultural inputs, improve nutrient contents and create a longer shelf life for many products. Nanotechnology is also being applied to many aspects of food security, disease treatment, new tools for pathogen detection, effective delivery systems and packaging materials. It is hoped that all these applications will help meet the needs of a growing population, and help mitigate the effects of climate change and other ecological disturbances. This book highlights new applications of these nanoforms in the field of agricultural science.It is written by an international team of experts from across this broad discipline.The book is essential reading for graduate students, researchers and practitioners involved in the application of nanotechnology in agriculture. The book · examines the role of nano-formulations in crop yield improvement whilst reducing reliance on chemical fertilizers and pesticides. · covers specially enabled delivery systems for the release of nanoformulations, field-sensing systems to monitor environmental stresses, and improvement of plant traits against environmental stress and diseases · is well written, unambiguous, simple, lucid, scientific and precise and chapters are supplemented with ample illustrations and case studies to clarify and summarize key points.

Ob nach Auschwitz noch sich leben lasse

Ein philosophisches Lesebuch

by Theodor W. Adorno, Rolf Tiedemann

Theodor W. Adorno wurde am 11. September 1903 in Frankfurt am Main geboren und starb am 06. August 1969 während eines Ferienaufenthalts in Visp/Wallis an den Folgen eines Herzinfarkts. Von 1921 bis 1923 studierte er in Frankfurt Philosophie, Soziologie, Psychologie und Musikwissenschaft und promovierte 1924 über Die Transzendenz des Dinglichen und Noematischen in Husserls Phänomenologie. Bereits während seiner Schulzeit schloss er Freundschaft mit Siegfried Kracauer und während seines Studiums mit Max Horkheimer und Walter Benjamin. Mit ihnen zählt Adorno zu den wichtigsten Vertretern der »Frankfurter Schule«, die aus dem Institut für Sozialforschung an der Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität in Frankfurt hervorging. Sämtliche Werke Adornos sind im Suhrkamp Verlag erschienen. Rolf Tiedemann wurde 1932 in Hamburg geboren. Im Zuge seines Studiums der Philosophie, Germanistik und Soziologie in Hamburg, Göttingen, Berlin und schlussendlich in Frankfurt am Main, war Tiedemann ab 1959 als wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter und später als persönlicher Assistent bei Theodor W. Adorno beschäftigt. 1964 promovierte er mit der ersten Dissertation über Walter Benjamin bei Adorno und Max Horkheimer. Gemeinsam mit Hermann Schweppenhäuser übernahm er 1970 die Herausgeberschaft der Gesamtausgaben von Adorno und Walter Benjamin. Von 1985 bis 2002 war er Direktor des Theodor W. Adorno Archivs in Frankfurt, von wo aus er u.a. die Ausgaben der Nachgelassenen Schriften Adornos initiierte. Vielfach rezipiert und in zahlreiche Sprachen übersetzt sind die von Tiedemann edierten Bände des Passagenwerks von Benjamin und der Ästhetischen Theorie sowie des Beethoven von Adorno. Rolf Tiedemann verstarb am 29. Juli 2018.
