2020Vitamin D
The healing power of the sunshine vitamin
by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Michael F. Holick
Vitamin D deficiency is a global health problem that puts the quality of life and life expectancy of more than a billion children and adults at risk worldwide. Many lifestyle diseases may be associated with vitamin D deficiency: myocardial infarction, infections, cancer, neurological diseases, stroke, type 2 diabetes, to name just a few. This 4th updated edition incorporates numerous new insights into the therapeutic effect of vitamin D, including its importance for a healthy pregnancy, prenatal imprinting, optimum sporting performance, diabetes mellitus and autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or multiple sclerosis. Since the metabolism and the effect of vitamin D are supported by a complex network of micronutrients – for example, magnesium, vitamin A or vitamin K – a specific chapter is devoted to this network. Here, the reader can discover how vitamin D successfully protects against diseases, improves the quality of life and optimises medication and treatment!

May 2002Logik
Theorie der Forschung
by John Dewey, Martin Suhr
Zu seinen Lebzeiten war John Dewey nicht nur Amerikas berühmtester Philosoph, sondern auch einer der führenden Intellektuellen. Seine Schriften reichten in ihrer Wirkung weit über das akademische Publikum hinaus und hatten großen Einfluß auf die öffentlichen Debatten. Er gilt als einer der Väter des Pragmatismus, einer philosophischen Position, die heute wieder stark diskutiert wird.In seinem Hauptwerk Logik. Die Theorie der Forschung, das erstmals 1938 veröffentlicht wurde und nun als deutsche Erstausgabe erscheint, vertritt Dewey den Standpunkt eines naturalistischen Humanismus in bezug auf Logik. Er schreibt über logische Formen und Prinzipien wie ein Naturforscher. Wie ein Biologe mit Hinblick auf die verschiedenen Lebens- und Organformen, so stellt Dewey dar, unter welchen Bedingungen logische Formen entstehen und sich entwickeln. Genau wie man Pflanzen und Tiere am besten innerhalb ihrer natürlichen Umwelt studiert, um die charakteristischen Eigenschaften ihrer verschiedenen Organe kennenzulernen, so erhalten nach Deweys Ansicht die spezifischen Techniken und Prinzipien der Logik eine adäquate theoretische Interpretation dadurch, daß man ihre Rolle innerhalb der Forschung darstellt. Insofern geht Deweys Logik weit über die beschränkten Ziele der formalen Logik hinaus und gewinnt heute, da sich die Logik zunehmend in Richtung einer allgemeinen Informationstheorie bewegt, immer stärker an Aktualität.

October 2003Philosophie und Zivilisation
by John Dewey, Martin Suhr
Dewey ist fraglos einer der großen amerikanischen Philosophen der Gegenwart. Sein Werk umfaßt eine Vielzahl von Themen und Bereichen und hat von der Philosophie über die Soziologie bis hin zur Politikwissenschaft und Pädagogik entscheidende Impulse gesetzt. Dieser 1931 erstmals publizierte Band versammelt eine von John Dewey selbst zusammengestellte Auswahl seiner Essays, die in den vergangenen 35 Jahren entstanden waren, angefangen von dem klassischen Aufsatz über den Reflexbogen aus dem Jahr 1896 bis hin zu dem speziell für diese Sammlung geschriebenen Einleitungs- und Abschlußkapitel aus dem Jahr 1931. Diese Sammlung bietet damit sowohl einen hervorragenden überblick über das Werk eines der führenden Theoretiker des Pragmatismus als auch eine Einführung in eine der großen philosophischen Positionen der Gegenwart.

October 2007Erfahrung und Natur
by John Dewey, Martin Suhr
'Erfahrung und Natur' ist nach Ansicht vieler Kritiker das Hauptwerk Deweys. 1925 erschienen, gehört es heute zu den großen und klassischen Werken der Philosophie des 20. Jahrhunderts. Hier entwirft Dewey seinen Instrumentalismus, der nicht nur die historischen Ursprünge unserer dualistischen Ideologien und Institutionen, unserer dualistischen Metaphysik aufdeckt, sondern ihnen auch ganz explizit eine eigene 'Philosophie der Vermittlung' entgegensetzt: seinen 'naturalistischen Humanismus'. Diese grundsätzlich veränderte Position gegenüber dem Erkennen und der Realität hat ebenso grundsätzliche Veränderungen in der Auffassung vom Leib-Seele-Problem, von der Rolle der ästhetischen Erfahrung, von der menschlichen Sprache und der Geschichte zur Folge. Alle traditionellen Probleme der Metaphysik, so zeigt sich, müssen einer Revision unterworfen werden.

Children's & YAA oficina do Cambeva (Cambeva's workshop)
by Lido Loschi
Cambeva's workshop is the first of four books of the collection "Presente de Vô" in partnership with Grupo Ponto de Partida. The book is a mixture of colours and elements that highlight the memory of the world, in which seekers of memories have the mission of bringing light and life to objects found in the travels of two characters: Zalém and Calunga. Cambeva is a restorer who, when the world lost its embrace, tried to reinvent it; he is the grandfather who mends dreams, forgotten things and lost emotions, to whom the seekers ask for help to fix something. In a magical universe, full of children, grandchildren, stories and memories of his lineage of restorers, when faced with this request for restoration, he makes room to bring back an emblematic figure who can no longer sing. A story about memories, care and affection...

Literature & Literary StudiesMay 2024David, Donne and Thirsty Deer
Selected Essays of Anne Lake Prescott
by Anne Lake Prescott, Roger Kuin, William A. Oram
For nearly half a century Anne Lake Prescott has been a force and an inspiration in Renaissance studies. A force, because of her unique blend of learning and wit and an inspiration through her tireless encouragement of younger scholars and students. Her passion has always been the invisible bridge across the Channel: the complex of relations, literary and political, between Britain and France. The essays in this long-awaited collection range from Edmund Spenser to John Donne, from Clément Marot to Pierre de Ronsard. Prescott has a particular fondness for King David, who appears several times; and the reader will encounter chessmen, bishops, male lesbian voices and Roman whores. Always Prescott's immense erudition is accompanied by a sly and gentle wit that invites readers to share her amusement. Reading her is a joyful education.

June 2008Chronotopos
by Michail M. Bachtin, Michael Dewey, Michael C. Frank, Kirsten Mahlke
Als Michail M. Bachtins 1973 beendeter Essay zum Chronotopos erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung erschien, stand die Bachtin-Rezeption hierzulande ganz im Zeichen von Karnevalismus, Polyphonie und Dialogizität. Der Vorschlag des Autors, die Kategorie des Raums in der Romananalyse stärker zu gewichten, stieß auf vergleichsweise geringes Interesse. Aus heutiger Perspektive erweist sich sein Hinweis auf die untrennbare Einheit von Raum und Zeit im Roman als früher Beitrag zu einer Theorieentwicklung, die gegenwärtig als der spatial turn diskutiert wird. Die Wiederauflage des vergriffenen Essays Formen der Zeit und des Chronotopos im Roman mit einem Nachwort, das Bachtins »Raumzeit« theoriegeschichtlich kontextualisiert, möchte Anschlußmöglichkeiten für die aktuellen Raumdebatten in den Geschichts-, Sozial- und Literaturwissenschaften eröffnen.

Science & MathematicsOctober 2017UV-B Radiation and Plant Life
Molecular Biology to Ecology
by Brian R Jordan, Pedro J. Aphalo, Amy T. Austin, Carlos L. Ballaré, Paul W. Barnes, Susanne Baldermann, Melanie Binkert, Janet F. Bornman, Isabelle N. Bottger, Stephan D. Flint, Franziska S. Hanschen, Éva Hideg, Marcel A K Jansen, Gareth I. Jenkins, Karel Klem, Susanne Neugart, Monika Schreiner, Åke Strid, Mark A. Tobler, Roman Ulm, Otmar Urban, Jason Wargent, Melanie Wiesner
Ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B) has profound effects on plant growth and development, and exposure varies with ozone depletion and across geographic regions, with ecosystem and agricultural consequences. This book deals with large-scale impacts but also how UV-B affects plants at the molecular level is also fascinating, and the UV-B photoreceptor has only recently been characterised. While UV-B radiation can be damaging, it also has a more positive role in plant photomorphogenesis. Consequently UV-B treatments are being developed as innovative approaches to improve horticulture. This book is a timely synthesis of what we know and need to know about UV-B radiation and plants.
