        Geist und Materie

        Zur Aktualität von Erwin Schrödinger

        by Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, Robert Pogue Harrison, Michael R. Hendrickson, Robert B. Laughlin, Sabine Baumann

        Erwin Schrödinger (1887-1961) gilt als einer der Väter der Quantenphysik; 1933 erhielt er zusammen mit Paul Dirac den Nobelpreis. Schrödingers Schriften regen auch heute noch an zu einem neuen Blick auf die Welt – und sie haben nicht nur in der Physik weitreichende Folgen gehabt. Schrödinger gilt vielen Experten heute als ein Vordenker des Bioengineering, der Entwicklung von Techniken, mit denen sich Zellen, Gewebe und Lebewesen effizient manipulieren lassen. Und Philosophen attestieren ihm eine orientierende und provozierende Wirkung auf eine neue ökologisch motivierte Philosophie der Natur. In diesem Band entfalten führende amerikanische Naturwissenschaftler und Geisteswissenschaftler das kontroverse Potential von Schrödingers Denken und belegen die anhaltende philosophische und technisch-praktische Bedeutung der Erkenntnisse eines epochalen Wissenschaftlers. "Die Welt ist ein Konstrukt aus unseren Empfindungen, Wahrnehmungen, Erinnerungen. Zwar ist es bequem, sie uns an und für sich einfach schlechthin vorhanden zu denken. Aber sie ist anscheinend nicht schon durch ihr bloßes Vorhandensein auch wirklich manifest." Aus: Erwin Schrödinger, Geist und Materie

        Michael Winterbottom

        by Brian McFarlane, Deane Williams, Brian McFarlane, Neil Sinyard

        This is the first book-length study of the most prolific and most critically acclaimed director working in British cinema today. Michael Winterbottom has also established himself, and his company, Revolution Films, as a dynamic force in world cinema. No other British director can claim such an impressive body of work in such a variety of genres, from road movie to literary adaptation, from musical to sex film, to stories of contemporary political significance. The authors of this book use a range of critical approaches to analyse the filmmaker's eclectic interests in cinema and the world at large. With this in mind, the realist elements of such films as Welcome to Sarajevo are examined in the light of a long history of cinema's dealings with realism, as far back as post-war Italian neo-realist filmmaking; whereas Jude and The claim are approached as both literary adaptations (a continuing strand in British cinema history) and examples of other reworked genres (the road movie, the western). This lively study of his work, written in a wholly accessible style, will engage all those who have followed his career as well as those with a wide-ranging interest in British cinema.

        Urban Insect Pests

        Sustainable Management Strategies

        by Gregory J Baumann, Partho Dhang, Zia Siddiqi, Ed Vargo, Rajeev Vaidyanathan, Julian Entwestle, John Cooksey, Chow Yang Lee, Michael Rust, Changlu Wang, Frantisek Rettich, David Liszka, Eli Shaava

        A companion to 'Urban Pest Management', this book builds on the issues of insect pests in urban settings to discuss control strategies that look beyond products. From an environmental and health perspective, it is not always practical to spray chemicals indoors or in urban settings, so this work discusses sustainable control and best practice methods for managing insects that are vectors of disease, nuisance pests and the cause of structural damage.

B. Yeats. This is followed by articles on the artistic avant-garde and underground of the 1960s and on Blake's significance for science fiction authors of the 1970s. The issue closes with an article on the contemporary Belgian art collective maelstrÖm reEvolution.

        The politics of male friendship in contemporary American fiction

        by Michael Kalisch

        How might our friendships shape our politics? This book examines how contemporary American fiction has rediscovered the concept of civic friendship and revived a long tradition of imagining male friendship as interlinked with the promises and paradoxes of democracy in the United States. Bringing into dialogue the work of a wide range of authors - including Philip Roth, Paul Auster, Michael Chabon, Jonathan Lethem, Dinaw Mengestu, and Teju Cole - this innovative study advances a compelling new account of the political and intellectual fabric of the American novel today.
