The Best of H. P. Lovecraft
by H. P. Lovecraft, Rudolf Hermstein, H. C. Artmann
Mit seinem Cthulu-Mythos wollte H. P. Lovecraft eine Atmosphäre kosmischen Grauens schaffen, die Archaisches mit den modernen Erkenntnissen der Wissenschaft verbindet und unserer Zeit angemessen ist. Die Angst hielt er für das älteste und stärkste Gefühl, mit dem er in seinen Erzählungen gerne spielte. Die besten Erzählungen von H. P. Lovecraft sind in diesem Rand zusammengefaßt.

Phosphorus Loss from Soil to Water
by Edited by H Tunney, P C Brookes, A E Johnston
Phosphorus is an essential element for plant growth and its input has long been recognised as necessary to maintain profitable crop production. However, phosphorus inputs can also increase the biological activity of surface waters and this can lead to the destruction of such aquatic ecosystems. Advanced eutrophication of surface water leads to problems with its use for fisheries, recreation, industry and drinking, due to the increased growth of undesirable algae and aquatic weeds, and oxygen shortages caused by their death and decomposition. It is therefore important to have a good understanding of the causes and mode of phosphorus loss from soil to water, to enable the problems to be controlled and managed. This book has been developed from an international workshop held in Ireland in late 1995. It is the first comprehensive consideration of the topic, and many leading researchers in the area have contributed to it. It is essential reading for all soil scientists and freshwater biologists, as well as for environmentalists, ecologists and agriculturalists concerned with sustainable land management and pollution. The book is also recommended to fisheries managers, fertilizer manufacturers and biologists working for water utilities.

Subjektiv, intersubjektiv, objektiv
by Donald Davidson, Joachim Schulte, Donald Davidson
Donald Davidson (1917–2003) gehört zu den herausragenden Philosophen des 20. Jahrhunderts und hatte schon zu Lebzeiten den Rang eines Klassikers erreicht. Seit Erscheinen seiner ersten wichtigen philosophischen Abhandlung im Jahre 1963 bis zu seinem Tod hat Davidson die Debatten im Bereich der philosophischen Semantik, der Erkenntnis- und Handlungstheorie und der Philosophie des Geistes maßgeblich geprägt. Ohne je eine philosophische Monographie vorgelegt zu haben, hat dieser »Denker ohne Buch« in einer Fülle von bahnbrechenden Aufsätzen von analytischer Präzision und stilistischer Brillanz ein einheitliches Bild der Sprache, des Geistes und der Handlung entworfen, das entscheidend dazu beigetragen hat, die theoretische Philosophie aus ihrer dogmatisch-sprachanalytischen Erstarrung zu befreien.Mit Subjektiv, intersubjektiv, objektiv liegt nun der lang erwartete dritte Band der philosophischen Aufsätze Davidsons in deutscher Sprache vor. Die vom Autor noch selbst zusammengestellten und mit einer Einleitung versehenen Abhandlungen kreisen um das klassische erkenntnistheoretische Thema des Wissens.Entgegen der traditionellen Zweiteilung in subjektives und objektives Wissen zeigt Davidson, daß es drei Spielarten von Wissen gibt: subjektives Wissen von unseren eigenen Gedanken, intersubjektives Wissen von den Gedanken anderer Personen und objektives Wissen über die uns umgebende, nichtpersonale Welt. Wie diese Wissensarten miteinander verknüpft sind, ist das Thema dieses Buches.

Key Questions in Environmental Toxicology
A Study and Revision Guide
by J P F D'Mello
Key Questions in Environmental Toxicology is designed as a self-study tool for undergraduate students. Questions review the origin, characterization and environmental distribution of major pollutants, followed by their absorption and metabolic disposition in living organisms. They address implications for the development of cancer, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary dysfunction and neurological conditions in relation to gaseous pollutants, particulates, persistent organic compounds and radioactive emissions, then cover the impact of pollutants on biodiversity, food safety, and water contamination. This book: - Covers toxicology from human morbidity, ecological impact and biodiversity perspectives, and emphasises the impact of diverse organic pollutants in worsening these interconnected phenomena, leading to wider environmental emergencies; - Provides a selection of fill-in-the-gap, multiple choice and short answer question types for students to vary their learning and enhance motivation; - Includes full answer rationales, allowing students to gain true insight into the subject. Providing support to programmes across environmental science, ecology and human health, and covering all the major biological toxins and pollutants as well as unintended consequences of actions designed to improve outcomes, this book may be used in conjunction with the companion volume Introduction to Environmental Toxicology.

Probleme der Rationalität
by Donald Davidson, Joachim Schulte, Marcia Cavell
Seit den frühen 1960er Jahren bis zu seinem Tod im Sommer 2003 war Donald Davidson der wohl einflußreichste Philosoph englischer Sprache. Mit Probleme der Rationalität liegt nun der vierte Band seiner philosophischen Schriften in deutscher Übersetzung vor und mit ihm eine weitere Etappe auf Davidsons Weg zu »einer einheitlichen Theorie des Denkens, der Bedeutung und des Handelns«. Der so betitelte Aufsatz bildet zugleich das programmatische Epizentrum dieses Bandes. Rationalität, so Davidsons Generalthese, ist dabei eine notwendige Bedingung, um das Denken, Sprechen und Handeln anderer interpretieren, d. h. verstehen zu können, und sie spielt eine tragende Rolle bei der Frage, welchen Wesen wir überhaupt einen Geist zusprechen können. In weiteren Abhandlungen wendet Davidson diese These etwa auf die Frage nach der Objektivität der Werte an, fragt sich, ob es eine »Wissenschaft der Rationalität « geben könne, und liefert eine scharfsinnige Analyse von »Turings Test«. Den krönenden Abschluß bilden die berühmten Aufsätze über Irrationalität. Der Band, den der Autor nicht mehr selbst zum Abschluß bringen konnte, wird von seiner Frau Marcia Cavell eingeleitet und schließt mit einem bewegenden Interview, das Ernie Lepore mit Donald Davidson über dessen Leben und Werk geführt hat.

Kaspar Hauser’s Brothers and Sisters. In search of the wild man
by P. J. Blumenthal
What makes human beings human? Is it a life in society that makes us what we are? We often hear stories of persons who have survived in the wild without social contact or who were supposedly raised by wild animals. Kaspar Hauser is probably the most well-known example, but certainly not the only one. P. J. Blumenthal has taken up the hunt for the “wild man” Homo ferus on the boundary between man and animal.

Nutrients for Sugar Beet Production
Soil-Plant Relationships
by A P Draycott, Donald R Christenson
After a summary of world sugar production from beet the authors cover the plant's need of each macro and micronutrient and effects on growth, yield and crop quality. The soil's supply of nutrients is examined as the basis for use of mineral fertilizers, organic manures and foliar applications. The book provides an up-to-date review of relevant research and the authors draw out practical guidelines so that all concerned with growing the crop can make use of this latest information. The book is destined to become the standard reference on the subject for many years to come. It represents the only significant work in English since Dr Draycott's earlier title on the same subject, published 30 years ago.
