        Sugar

        Sweet knowledge for practice

        by Reinhild Berger

        A sweet treat is tempting, but the lurking dangers should not be underestimated. However, it is just as wrong to demonise all types of sugar in general as to avoid it altogether. In this entertaining mini reference book, Reinhild Berger takes the reader on an interesting journey through the labyrinth of sugar, sugar substitutes and sweeteners and gets to the bottom of many questions in the process: How much is too much? What alternatives are there, and which are advisable? How can one select the right one from the deceptive variety in the supermarket? What is the right way to read the food labels on the packaging? What knowledge does one need to be protected against misleading advertisements? - Learn how to recognise differences between the many types of sugar - Read where dangers lie, and which sugar does us good – and in what quantity - Understand how to interpret nutritional values – and that “no artificial sweetener ” does not mean “sugar-free” Welcome to the promising world of the sweet taste!

        by Reinhild Berger, Prof. Dr. Martin Smollich, Friederike Schmidt

        Armenische Märchen und Volkserzählungen

        Gesammelt und herausgegeben von Leon Surmelian. Aus dem Englischen übertragen von Zora Shaked

        by Leon Surmelian, Zora Shaked

        Leon Surmelian, der Herausgeber und Sammler der »Armenischen Märchen«, die in der englischsprachigen Erstausgabe mit dem Titel »Äpfel der Unsterblichkeit« erschienen sind, hat die Sammlung von bisher nur mündlich überlieferten Märchen in Gesprächen mit den Bauern aus der Region um den Berg Ararat zusammengestellt. Er wuchs mit diesen Geschichten als armenischer Junge auf. Ob es sich nun um realistische Märchen aus dem Alltag handelt oder um Wundermärchen, sie vermitteln uns stets einen Einblick in die armenische Lebensweise, in die Welt der Bauern, Handwerker und Kaufleute, in die Freuden, Träume und Leiden, und geben den Blick frei auf eine Volkstradition, die geprägt ist von dem Bemühen, ihre kulturelle Identität zu bewahren als Puffer zwischen Asien und Europa.

        Der Fall Rivière herausgegeben von Michel Foucault

        Materialien zum Verhältnis von Psychiatrie und Strafjustiz

        by Michel Foucault, Wolf Heinrich Leube

        Michel Foucault und seine Mitarbeiter sind im Zusammenhang von Untersuchungen zur Geschichte der Beziehungen zwischen Psychiatrie und Strafjustiz auf den Fall Rivière gestoßen, über den 1836 eine ungewöhnlich umfangreiche Dokumentation publiziert worden war, u. a. ein Memoire Pierre Rivières über die Beweggründe zu seiner Tat: der Ermordung seiner Mutter, seiner Schwester und seines Bruders. Warum hat sich über diese Dokumentation – und insbesondere über das Memoire Pierre Rivières –, nachdem sie einmal das lebhafte Interesse der Ärzte erregt hatte, alsbald wieder absolutes Schweigen gebreitet? Die Autoren der »Anmerkungen« zu den im ersten Teil des vorliegenden Bandes abgedruckten Dokumenten analysieren einige auf den ersten Blick verdeckte Funktionen der vielfach sich überlagernden, sich kreuzenden und gegeneinander gerichteten Diskurse, die scheinbar alle von derselben Sache sprechen – einem Fall von Verwandtenmord –, gleichzeitig aber Gefechte sind. So kämpfen die Ärzte gegeneinander, gegen die Justiz und gegen Rivière; so kämpft die Justiz u. a. um die Anerkennung medizinischer Gutachten und die Zuerkennung mildernder Umstände; so sind die Zeugenaussagen von Dorfbewohnern auch Versuche, mit dem in ihrer Mitte begangenen Verbrechen fertig zu werden … Das Dossier wurde zusammengestellt, bearbeitet und mit Anmerkungen versehen im Rahmen einer Kollektivarbeit am Collège de France von: Blandine Berret-Kriegel, Gilbert Burlet-Torvic, Robert Castel, Jeanne Favret, Alexandre Fontana, Michel Foucault, Georgette Legée, Patricia Moulin, Jean-Pierre Peter, Philippe Riot, Maryvonne Saison.

        by Anna Ruhe/ Claudia Carls

        A world full of scents – and an adventure full of magic, racing hearts and dangers! Luzie Alvenstein can sense it right down to her fingertips: there is something wrong with the invitation she is holding in her hand. Her rival Elodie de Richemont has invited her to enter the “Contest of a thousand talents” – a competition for the world’s finest scent pharmacists. Of course the only thing Elodie is interested in is finding new talents to run her scent pharmacies. But Luzie has no choice. Together with Mats, Leon and Daan de Bruijn she goes to England in order to take part in the competition. What begins as a great game soon develops into a fight for survival – and this threatens to rob Luzie of everything she has ever loved… This is the fourth volume in the bestselling series of children’s books for boys and girls aged 10+. Written by the highly successful author Anna Ruhe and with atmospheric and beautifully detailed black-and-white illustrations by Claudia Carls.

        PHILOSOPHER’S LOVE – FROM SOCRATES TO FOUCAULT

        by Manfred Geier

        Love is a long-burning issue of philosophy. From antiquity to the present day, people have philosophised about love, which reveals itself in a variety of forms and norms. But what really happens when philosophers not only philosophise, but also love, from the initial games of seduction to the culmination of sexual lust? With the aid of eleven biographical case studies, from Socrates and Augustine to Martin Heidegger and Michael Foucault, Manfred Geier, author of several biographies on philosophers, documents how without their erotic lust, the philosophers would not have become searchers of wisdom.

        Forest Hydrology

        Processes, Management and Assessment

        by Devendra Amatya, Thomas Williams, Leon Bren, Carmen de Jong

        Forests cover approximately 26% of the world's land surface area and represent a distinct biotic community. They interact with water and soil in a variety of ways, providing canopy surfaces which trap precipitation and allow evaporation back into the atmosphere, thus regulating how much water reaches the forest floor as through fall, as well as pull water from the soil for transpiration. The discipline "forest hydrology" has been developed throughout the 20th century. During that time human intervention in natural landscapes has increased, and land use and management practices have intensified. This book: - Presents cutting edge thinking and assessments in forest hydrology across all latitudes and terrains, including state-of-the-art modelling techniques and methodologies - Describes the latest challenges facing forest hydrology, such as increased occurrence of disturbance, due to extreme floods, drought, disease, and fire, potentially caused by climate change - Is written by an internationally renowned team of scientists, engineers, and managers to give a well-rounded review of the subject The book will be useful for graduate students, professionals, land managers, practitioners, and researchers with a good understanding of the basic principles of hydrology and hydrologic processes. ; This book presents cutting edge thinking and assessments in forest hydrology across all latitudes and terrains, including state-of-the-art modelling techniques and methodologies.

        In Verteidigung der Gesellschaft

        Vorlesungen am Collège de France 1975/1976

        by Michel Foucault, Michaela Ott, Michel Foucault

        Neben der großen vierbändigen Ausgabe der Dits et Ecrits erscheint gegenwärtig eine umfangreiche Ausgabe der Vorlesungen Foucaults am Collège de France. In diesen Vorlesungen ist ein neuer Foucault zu entdecken: Neben der pointierten mündlichen Präsentation des Gegenstands, die seinen Denkweg verdeutlicht, findet sich immer das Bemühen um Aktualisierung, um eine Analyse der Gegenwart. Die Edition der Vorlesung aus dem Jahr 1975/76 In Verteidigung der Gesellschaft, mit der diese Edition begann, folgt Manuskripten und Tonbandmitschnitten. Foucault geht hier der Frage nach, inwieweit Machtverhältnisse nach dem Modell des Krieges analysiert werden können. Seine im doppelten Wortsinn polemischen Ausführungen lassen sich in der Frage zusammenfassen, ob, in Umkehrung von Clausewitz, die Politik die Fortsetzung des Krieges mit anderen Mitteln sei.
