        Fundamentals of Applied Animal Nutrition

        by Gordon Dryden

        If you have ever wondered why animals prefer some foods and not others, how poor feeding management can cause conditions such as laminitis, rumenitis or diarrhoea, or how to construct a diet to optimise animal performance and health, then this book will introduce you to the fundamentals of animal nutrition and their practical implementation. While giving a comprehensive and practical overview of the principles that underpin the design and management of farm animal feeding systems, this book: - Covers a wide range of topics from digestive function, nutrients and feed composition, to intake, feed related disorders, grazing behaviour and management, as well as how animals influence climate change and the environment. - Contains hints, tips and practical advice on animal feeding. - Includes links to the latest data on feed composition and nutrient requirements. - Is a companion book to the author's book titled Animal Nutrition Science. With its evidence-based approach and emphasis on the practical throughout, this is a valuable textbook for undergraduate and graduate animal science students studying the feeding of farm animals.

        The Magic Bird

        by Ken Spillman and Malavika PC

        A lone bird hungry for magic pecks at alphabet shapes. It looks through glass windows of book stores and glances at the t-shirts of pedestrians with the hope of solving the mystery hidden behind those letters. Soon, the words become familiar and the bird determinedly starts collecting scraps of paper to build a nest, wanting to hatch its ideas with warmth and nurture them through potential and free imagination. The unusual combination of Ken Spillman’s simple yet eloquent prose and Malavika PC’s inspired images combine in perfect harmony to express the powerful story of The Magic Bird. The bird reminds the reader of the extraordinary components which create something as ordinary as language, and the value of spreading our wings to take stories to others.

        Basics of Astrophysics

        by Joseph A. Angelo, Jr.

        Basics of Astrophysics lays the essential foundation of what is known as astrophysics, the study of the nature and physics of stars and their systems. The sciences of astronomy and physics have been intertwined since the 17th century when Sir Isaac Newton introduced the laws of motion and the universal law of gravitation. Readers will draw connections between these two critical fields of science and in doing so, will gain an enriched understanding of the theoretical framework for interpreting astronomical observations. This eBook discusses a variety of topics in contemporary astrophysics including black holes, dark matter, dark energy, evidence of the big bang, and the recently discovered existence of exoplanets.

        Peace and the politics of memory

        by Annika Björkdahl, Susanne Buckley-Zistel, Stefanie Kappler, Johanna Mannergren Selimovic, Timothy Williams

        This important book provides new understandings of how the politics of memory impacts peace in societies transitioning from a violent past. It does so by developing a theoretical approach focusing on the intersection of sites, agency, narratives, and events in memory-making. Drawing on rich empirical studies of mnemonic formations in Cyprus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Rwanda, South Africa and Cambodia, the book speaks to a broad audience. The in-depth, cross-case analysis shows that inclusivity, pluralism, and dignity in memory politics are key to the construction of a just peace. The book contributes crucial and timely knowledge about societies that grapple with the painful legacies of the past and advances the study of memory and peace.

        Wirklichkeitsvorstellungen und Neue Medien

        by Sybille Krämer

        "Dieser Band fragt nach den Voraussetzungen und Folgen der medialen Nutzung des Computers - und zwar nicht in einer technikwissenschaftlichen Perspektive; den Autoren geht es vielmehr um geistes- bzw. kulturwissenschaftlich inspirierte Interpretationen der neuen Medien. Die Beiträge zentrieren sich um drei miteinander verwandte Themen: (1) In einer grundlagentheoretischen Perspektive wird die Frage gestellt: »Was ist ein Medium?« (2) Dann wird der Computer als ein Medium thematisiert. (3) Schließlich geht es um Veränderungen unseres Wirklichkeitsverständnisses im Gefolge von Phänomenen, die mit dem Einsatz digitalisierter Medien verbunden sind."
