        Basics of Astrophysics

        by Joseph A. Angelo, Jr.

        Basics of Astrophysics lays the essential foundation of what is known as astrophysics, the study of the nature and physics of stars and their systems. The sciences of astronomy and physics have been intertwined since the 17th century when Sir Isaac Newton introduced the laws of motion and the universal law of gravitation. Readers will draw connections between these two critical fields of science and in doing so, will gain an enriched understanding of the theoretical framework for interpreting astronomical observations. This eBook discusses a variety of topics in contemporary astrophysics including black holes, dark matter, dark energy, evidence of the big bang, and the recently discovered existence of exoplanets.

        The ABC of the projectariat

        Living and working in a precarious art world

        by Kuba Szreder

        The ABC of the projectariat contributes new thinking on and practical responses to the widespread problem of precarious labour in the field of contemporary art. It works as both a critical analysis and a practical handbook, speaking to and about the vast cohort of artistic freelancers worldwide. In an accessible ABC format, the book strikes a unique balance between the practical and the theoretical: the analysis is backed up by lived experience, the arguments are rooted in concrete examples and there are suggestions for constructive action. Roughly half of the entries expose the structural underpinnings of projects and circulation, isolating traits such as opportunism, neoliberalism, inequality, fear and cynicism at the root of the condition of the projectariat. This discussion is paired with a practical account of different modes of action, such as art strikes, productive withdrawals, political struggles and better social time machines. Just as proletarians had nothing to lose but their chains, the projectarians have nothing to miss but their deadlines.

        The Transformation of European Football

        Towards the Europeanisation of the national game

        by Arne Niemann, Borja Garcia, Wyn Grant

        The book examines the transformation of European football in recent years by focusing on the impact of Europe in general and the EU in particular on the way that the game has evolved in a broad cross section of European states. The book brings together two significant research agendas: first, that on the governance of sport in Europe/the European Union; secondly, that within European integration studies on 'Europeanisation' (most commonly understood at the process of change in the domestic arena resulting from European integration). The concept of Europeanisation and in particular' top down' Europeanisation is used to shape the individual country case studies. Other transformational factors such as globalization are also assessed. The three chapters in the introductory section set the context within which the transformation of European football has occurred with particular emphasis on the role of UEFA and EU institutions. The ten country studies in the central part of the book include the five leading football nations in Europe and smaller countries that are facing new challenges in the competitive environment of modern European football. They include an example of a country that is a recent accession state and one outside the EU. What emerges from these chapters is both the shaping influence of Europeanisation but also the extent to which it is countered and modified by national culture and structures. What is also noticeable the sense of decline amongst some of the small and even larger footballing nations in the continent. This book will be of interest to students of European politics, sports governance and football, it also represents a substantial contribution to the debate on Europeanisation. ;

        Alphabet des Abschieds

        Roman

        by Urs Faes

        "»Gib sie wieder, sagte sie, als ob es seine Geschichte wäre.«Als ob es unsere Geschichte wäre - so erzählt unaufdringlich leise und bewegend Urs Faes in seinem Roman ›Alphabet des Abschieds‹ die Wiederbegegnung eines Mannes und einer Frau auf der Piazza della Rotonda an einem Spätherbstlichen römischen Novembertag. Nach zwanzig Jahren sehen ein Mann und eine Frau sich in der Ewigen Stadt wieder; Zufall, Fügung oder Schonfrist?»Ein Mann wie Paul.« »Eine Frau wie Nicole.«Als ob es unsere Geschichte wäre: Er, Paul, ein gescheiterter Maler, der sich als Karikaturist und Touristenführer durchs Leben schlägt. Ein exzentrischer Mann, der nicht mehr an Worte glauben kann und die zynische Gleichgültigkeit zur Überlebenssicherung macht; einer, der niemanden mehr liebt, nicht einmal sich selbst, einer, der nur noch den Tod und die sterbende Zeit malen konnte und sonst gar nichts mehr. Aber auch einer, dem unter seinen Maskeraden das Vergessen nicht gelingen will. Sie, Nicole, ist Chorsängerin auf Gastspieltournee.Zögernd lassen Nicole und Paul sich auf die Begegnung und erneute Annäherung ein, suchen sie nach den Worten, m denen sich über die furchtsam weggeschobenen Erinnerungen sprechen läßt.»Wie hast du gelebt all die Jahre?« Unangestrengt und feinfühlig-behutsam stellt Urs Faes seine Fragen, läßt er in Alphabet des Abschieds Nicoles und Pauls Bilder geteilter Biographie und gemeinsamer Zeit vorbeiziehen: die späten sechziger und siebziger Jahre mit ihren erhofften und enttäuschten Lebensentwürfen, die Stationen einer Liebe, deren Zärtlichkeit in immer neuen Abschieden vergeht und schließlich am Vorwurf des »Verrats an der Liebe« scheitert, Pauls Neuanfang in Rom – der Stadt, wo jene Liebe zu Nicole begonnen hat und ein Leben auf Aufschub im Irrlauf durch die Straßen scheitert."
