        Egg Nutrition and Biotechnology

        by Edited by Jeong S Sim, Shuryo Nakai, Wilhelm Guenter

        Major research is now directed at improving the nutritional quality of eggs, and at using eggs in other products. Due to the decline in the consumption of eggs in the past few decades, researchers from many disciplines have been lead to look at the egg beyond its traditional food value, and to focus on economically viable biomedical, nutraceutical and ovo-biotechnologies.Written by international experts, this book is based on proceedings of the Second International Symposium on Egg Nutrition and Newly Emerging Ovo-Biotechnologies, held in Banff, Canada, in April 1998. It includes 39 chapters, covering food fats and health, egg consumption, egg lipids and nutrition, ovo-technologies, and food food safety.

        Philosophie der Kunst

        Vorlesung von 1826

        by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Annemarie Gethmann-Siefert, Jeong-Im Kwon, Karsten Berr

        »Nachschriften sind freilich trübe Quellen« - dieses Heideggerdiktum kann gegen die studentischen Nachschriften zu Hegels Ästhetikvorlesungen nicht geltend gemacht werden. Anders als die von Hotho »geschönte« Ästhetik erweisen sie sich als höchst authentisch und bieten einen aufschlußreichen Einblick in Hegels Gedanken zur Rolle der Kunst in der Kulturgeschichte. Unter den vier Berliner Vorlesungen zur Philosophie der Kunst, die Hegel zwischen 1820 und 1829 gehalten hat, ist besonders jene von 1826 brisant. In ausführlicher Auseinandersetzung mit exemplarischen Kunstwerken stellt er hier der sogenannten »These vom Ende der Kunst« die Behauptung von der Unersetzlichkeit der Künste entgegen. Mit der Mitschrift des Studenten von der Pfordten wird eine vollständige Überlieferung dieser Vorlesung nun erstmals publiziert.

        Don't Believe Everything You Think

        How to stop making decisions that let you down, lead you astray and keep you from success

        by Colin J Browne

        When it comes to making great decisions, the way you think about things is usually a lot more influential than what you actually think. If you ever hired a person who ‘looks the part’, dated someone who ‘gives you a good feeling’, voted for the party that ‘speaks the most sense’ or got into an investment that ‘cannot be missed’, only to realise you made a horrible mistake, you might have wondered how you ever talked yourself into it. Yet, still bearing the bruises, you’re likely to make exactly the same decision the next time. The beliefs that guide your ideas and the instincts that drive your actions, are all informed by your unconscious biases (and literally every single one of us has them), which irrationally tell us one thing is good and another is bad; one thing is absolutely true and another is utterly false; and make you act less smartly than you should. But the good news is that you can learn to see them, to manage them and ultimately overcome them. In Don’t Believe Everything You Think, Colin J Browne shows you how biases work, why they matter, and how to reframe your thinking to make well-founded decisions about life and work, relationships and investing, and much else in between, to vastly improve your chances of success.

        A Healthy Pregnancy with Selected (Micro)Nutrients

        by Uwe Gröber

        Adequate nutrition and a healthy lifestyle – before and during pregnancy - are of great importance for a trouble-free pregnancy, birth, and the subsequent development of the child. Since the nutritional status before the onset of pregnancy influences both fertility and the course of pregnancy, including complications, the birth and breastfeeding, close attention should be paid to a healthy diet and adequate supply of essential (micro)nutrients well in advance and not only at the family planning stage. Poor micronutrient status prior to conception is often carried over into pregnancy, and can significantly increase the risk of pregnancy complications and, for example, lead to the dreaded spina bifida in the child. This patient guide tells you what you need to know! Various micronutrients are described in detail. Special emphasis is placed on the latest study results concerning pregnancy and nutrition.
