June 2009Philosophie und Lebensform
by Julian Nida-Rümelin
Gründe geben unserer rational und normativ verfaßten Lebensform die Struktur, deren wir als Menschen bedürfen – als Mitglieder dieser, wie Julian Nida-Rümelin sagt, »merkwürdigen Spezies, deren hinreichend entwickelte Exemplare sich in ihren Urteilen und ihrem Handeln von Gründen leiten lassen«. Welche Rolle spielt dabei die wissenschaftliche Erkenntnis? In welchem Verhältnis stehen Lebensform und Wissenschaft, Bedeutung und Intention, Ethik und Alltagspraxis, Moral und Politik? Mit diesen Fragen beschäftigen sich die hier versammelten philosophischen Abhandlungen von Nida-Rümelin, die seine pragmatistische Philosophie exemplarisch dokumentieren.

July 2016Humanistische Reflexionen.
by Julian Nida-Rümelin
Ein recht verstandener Humanismus ist die Antwort auf die aktuelle Unordnung der Welt – so lautet die Zentralthese des neuen Buches von Julian Nida-Rümelin, der unter »Humanismus« weit mehr versteht als eine Geisteshaltung oder gar das angestaubte Relikt längst vergangener Zeiten. Humanismus ist vor allem eine Praxis der Menschlichkeit und damit die einzige Hoffnung auf eine friedliche, gerechte und prosperierende Weltgesellschaft der Zukunft. Damit der Humanismus seine Prägekraft zurückgewinnt, die er in einigen Phasen der Weltgeschichte hatte, muss er revitalisiert, muss er von Grund auf erneuert werden. Die Texte in diesem Band wollen dazu einen Beitrag leisten.

July 2023Democracy Into Children's Minds
Why our future will be decided in schools
by Julian Nida-Rümelin/Klaus Zierer
— By two renowned authors from the fields of philosophy and education — Julian Nida-Rümelin – a popular talk show guest The debate about the correct school policy has been going on for many years. And there's no end to the bad news regarding the shortage of teachers, poor performance by students at PISA or the lack of suitable equipment in schools. What is being neglected in the discussions about the education policy but is, in fact, a central momentum in its development, is the school's task of conveying democratic values and patterns of action. This is the only way our society's supporting pillars can be strengthened in future generations. In the light of the complex situation, from the authors' point of view it is important to formulate a wake-up call: Democracy education – now!

Children's & YAThe Detention Pros
by Kirsten John/Miryam Specht
Clara, Julian, Felix and Fee must have done something bad, because they are waiting for a severe punishment: detention. “Detention” is actually the wrong word. In fact their task is to get the school garden into shape, which includes the fountain with non-stop snapping turtles. But oh, shock horror! First of all, Felix digs up a skull. Then several suspicious looking men turn up, alleging that they are sports teachers. Could this be the cover-up of a murder? And what is the grumpy housemaster Kratzek hiding? In order to find out just what is going on at the closed school, the four detainees must stick together at all costs – and that is the biggest adventure of them all.

Technology, Engineering & AgricultureJanuary 2024Vegetable Seeds
Production and Technology
by Gregory E Welbaum
Most food and fiber crops are produced from seed. This means that the world's population is dependent on annual seed production for its food supply. Vegetable seed production is much different and more challenging than production of grain crops. This book explains the biology and technology behind producing, maintaining, and enhancing the quality of vegetable seeds from breeding through to the marketed product. It begins with six chapters on a broad range of seed-related topics: the importance of seeds, reproductive biology of plants, genetic improvement strategies, quality assurance of seed production, post-harvest seed enhancement, and organic production. The remaining chapters cover seed production in eleven important vegetable families. Each chapter provides a description of the botany, types and cultivars, genetic improvement, pollination, soil fertility management, pest management, crop production, harvesting, post-harvest handling, and seed yields. The aim of this book is to educate how to produce high-quality vegetable seeds. Incorporating both current methodologies and recent research results, it is suitable for students, researchers, and professionals in the seed industry.

Agronomy & crop productionDecember 2004Seed Fate
Predation, Dispersal and Seedling Establishment
by Edited by Pierre M Forget, Joanna E Lambert, Philip E Hulme, Stephen B Vander Wall
This book presents current knowledge of seed fate in both natural and human-disturbed landscapes, from various regions of the world. Habitats considered range from mountain and arid deserts in the temperate zone, to savanna and lowland rainforests in tropical regions of the world. Particular attention is paid to plant diversity conservation when seed removal is affected by factors such as hunting, habitat fragmentation or intensive logging. Contributors include leading scientists involved in research on seed ecology and on animal-plant relationships from the perspective of both primary and secondary seed dispersal, and predation.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2019Hermits and anchorites in England, 1200–1550
by E. A. Jones
This source book offers a comprehensive treatment of solitary religious lives in England in the late Middle Ages. It covers both enclosed recluses (anchorites) and free-wandering hermits, and explores the relationship between them. Although there has been a recent surge of interest in the solitary vocations, especially anchorites, this has focused almost exclusively on a small number of examples. The field is in need of reinvigoration, and this book provides it. Featuring translated extracts from a wide range of Latin, Middle English and Old French sources, as well as a scholarly introduction and commentary from one of the foremost experts in the field, Hermits and anchorites in England is an invaluable resource for students and lecturers alike.
