        Walter Benjamins Archive

        Bilder, Texte und Zeichen

        by Erdmut Wizisla, Erdmut Wizisla, Walter Benjamin Archiv, Michael Schwarz, Ursula Marx, Gudrun Schwarz

        Von einer Sensation ist zu berichten: Das Walter Benjamin Archiv zeigt eine Fülle von großartigen, in weiten Teilen bisher unpublizierten und auch unbekannten Bildern und Dokumenten. Anläßlich einer Ausstellung in der Akademie der Künste, Berlin, wird, begleitet von einer internationalen Tagung und einer Vielzahl von Veranstaltungen, zum ersten Mal Benjamins Bildund Dingkosmos der Öffentlichkeit vorgestellt. Solche Orientierung an Bildern und Dokumenten, an der Materialität der Gegenstände entspricht auch seinem Werk, das seinerseits ein Reservoir von Texten, Kommentaren, Elementen des Alltags, der Kunst und des Traums ist. Viele dieser Elemente sind als Bausteine in sein 'Passagen'-Projekt eingegangen, das die 'Urgeschichte des 19. Jahrhunderts ' erkundet. Darüber hinaus prägen Techniken des Sammelns und Archivierens die Arbeitsweise Walter Benjamins. Nachdem er aus Deutschland vertrieben worden war, schuf er die Voraussetzungen zur Rettung seiner, wie er sagte, 'unendlich verzettelten Produktion ', indem er Manuskripte, Notizen und Druckbelege bei Freunden in aller Welt deponierte Der reichillustrierte und kommentierte Band schließt erstmals Benjamins Archive auf: Notizhefte, in denen jeder Zentimeter genutzt wird; Register, Verzeichnisse und Karteien, die zugleich akribisch und kreativ geführt sind; Ansichtskarten, von ihm selbst kommentierte Fotoserien; eine Sammlung früher Worte und Sätze seines Sohnes Stefan, dessen Sprach- und Denkentwicklung Benjamin in Aufzeichnungen über Jahre verfolgte.

        Waste Treatment, Revised Edition

        Reducing Global Waste

        by Anne Maczulak, Ph.D.

        Hazardous and nonhazardous wastes must be grouped by their physical form, chemical content, degree of hazard to the environment, or source in order to be treated by waste managers. These groupings also allow environmental scientists to learn about the trends in our society's waste and in society itself. Waste types can change dramatically in a period of less than 100 years. For example, waste from electronic products poses a big problem in the world today but this was not considered a serious threat in the early 1900s. The waste treatment industry plays a role in removing, treating, and disposing of human, household, and industrial wastes, either by burning, decomposing, or chemically transforming them so that the Earth's activities can continue. Beginning with a look at the global waste problem, Waste Treatment, Revised Edition defines the different classifications of materials that are treated today in waste management, including one of the most important concepts—waste stream. Waste streams are all the sources of various wastes as they move through the environment toward a final disposal. The control of waste streams is the central theme throughout this updated, full-color eBook. Chapters include: Assessing Global Waste Management Electronic Products and Metals Incineration Vitrification Solidification and Stabilization Reduction and Compaction Wastewater Treatment.

        The Library and archive collections of the University of Aberdeen

        An introduction and description

        by Edited by Iain Beaven, Peter Davidson and Jane Stevenson

        This volume commences with the the books and manuscripts given at the foundation of King's College in 1495, continues with the collections which accrued to Marischal College from its foundation in 1593, and comes together with the fusion of the two colleges in 1860 in the modern University of Aberdeen. From the beginning, the scope and focus of the University was international, and its developing collections represent a microcosm of the world of knowledge as it changed over the centuries. The University Colleges of Aberdeen have a distinct intellectual tradition: pragmatically tolerant in times of persecution; dissident from the religious and political policies of the Lowlands; looking outwards to the world of northern Europe and to the territories of the Jacobite diaspora. The book introduces one of the oldest continually-evolving academic library collections of the Anglophone world, surveys its history and includes a series of studies of items or collections of particular interest. ;

        Picturing the Western Front

        Photography, practices and experiences in First World War France

        by Beatriz Pichel

        Between 1914 and 1918, military, press and amateur photographers produced thousands of pictures. Either classified in military archives specially created with this purpose in 1915, collected in personal albums or circulated in illustrated magazines, photographs were supposed to tell the story of the war. Picturing the Western Front argues that photographic practices also shaped combatants and civilians' war experiences. Doing photography (taking pictures, posing for them, exhibiting, cataloguing and looking at them) allowed combatants and civilians to make sense of what they were living through. Photography mattered because it enabled combatants and civilians to record events, establish or reinforce bonds with one another, represent bodies, place people and events in imaginative geographies and making things visible, while making others, such as suicide, invisible. Photographic practices became, thus, frames of experience.

        Effects of Global Warming

        by Julie Kerr, Ph.D.

        Praise for the previous edition: "...the many charts and maps are useful...beneficial to a full understanding of the current debate."—School Library Journal Global warming has increased dramatically during the last century at an unnatural rate, which makes specialists believe that humans contribute to the real cause of global warming today. Many activities humans are involved in—from burning fossil fuels for energy to massive deforestation—are contributing to the atmospheric warming at an alarming rate. Experts believe that, in the future, human-induced damage will cause severe problems in the distribution of species and their critical habitats, increase the occurrence of severe weather and droughts, contribute to rising sea levels, and trigger a host of health and quality-of-life impacts that will affect everyone on Earth. Unfortunately, no ecosystem will escape the impact of human-induced global warming. Thoroughly updated and featuring new graphs, charts, and illustrations, Changing Ecosystems, Second Edition looks at this serious issue and the far-reaching effects it is having right now, and will have in the future, on every ecosystem on Earth. It is crucial that readers understand the relevant issues now so they can prevent this problem before it is too late and many species and habitats are gone forever. By discussing the effects of global warming on ecosystems, this eBook enlightens students on the many ways they can become more eco-responsible now and in the future. Chapters include: Signs and Effects of Global Warming Ecosystems, Adaptation, and Extinction Impacts to Forests Impacts to Rangelands, Grasslands, and Prairies Impacts on Polar Ecosystems Impacts to Desert Ecosystems Impacts to Mountain Ecosystems Impacts to Marine Ecosystems Conclusions—Where to Go from Here.

        Global Warming Cycles, Second Edition

        Ice Ages and Glacial Retreat

        by Julie Kerr, Ph.D.

        Earth has always exhibited patterns of heating up and cooling down. At some points in time, many areas of Earth were shrouded in blankets of ice, with ice caps and glaciers dominating the landscape. Certain areas on Earth have been covered with prominent glaciers multiple times in the past for millions of years. Since the last ice age, which ended just over 10,000 years ago, the Earth's climate has been relatively stable, with just a few fluctuations; at least until the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the 1700s, when the climate began to increase in temperature. Thoroughly updated and featuring new graphs, charts, and illustrations, Global Warming Cycles, Second Edition focuses on the mechanisms that caused past climate changes, putting the Earth repeatedly into and out of ice ages. It compares natural cycles with today's rapid global warming, caused principally by the behavior of humans. This timely, full-color eBook presents the many physical factors that shape the Earth's climate, examining the ones that are out of our control as well as the ones that humans have a direct impact on. It also looks at how scientists use landform clues from the past to assess global warming and how they apply that knowledge to the future to help prepare current and future society for what is to come. Chapters include: Ice Ages Glacial Retreat and Meltdown The Cryosphere and Isostasy Ocean Currents and Climate Rising Sea Levels Abrupt Climate Change Tropical Cyclones and Other Severe Weather Climate Research—What the Experts Say Conclusions and a Glance into the Future.

        Cleaning Up the Environment, Revised Edition

        Hazardous Waste Technology

        by Anne Maczulak, Ph.D.

        Praise for the previous edition: "...valuable...a welcome addition for use in classroom studies and for those considering a career in the field."—School Library Journal The industrial might of the United States grew in the 1930s and flourished during the two world wars. As businesses large and small supplied the needs of the country, they discarded their wastes in landfills, pits, and waterways. It was an easy and inexpensive way to get rid of wastes before more were made. Waste dumping had not yet been linked with illnesses so few people worried about it, especially if the materials were hidden under the ground or in the ocean. Within 20 years of the end of WWII, those wastes began to cause serious health problems. Featuring full-color photographs and line illustrations, Cleaning Up the Environment, Revised Edition explores current and emerging methods in pollution cleanup. Hazardous wastes are removed from contaminated places by physical, chemical, or biological methods, and these methods are described here as well as their advantages and disadvantages. This eBook takes readers through the entire step-by-step process of finding, testing, and cleaning up hazardous waste sites, beginning with contamination assessment and ending with a cleaned and restored body of land or water. Chapters include: Measuring Contamination Excavation of Contaminated Sites Microbes and Plants for Toxic Cleanup Oxidation Technology Brownfield Sites Remediating the Water Supply Superfund Sites.

        Radiation, Revised Edition

        Radiation, Revised Edition

        by James A. Mahaffey, Ph.D.

        The most dangerous component of nuclear science has always seemed to be radiation, the bio-destructive byproduct of fission. The act of fissioning a uranium or plutonium nucleus releases energy, and about 10 percent of this energy is in the form of intense, penetrating radiation. The entire measure of energy from fission can take thousands of years to fully materialize, and therein lies the problem. Long after the fission has occurred to produce power in a nuclear reactor, the power plant has worn out and been torn down, and the ground on which the power plant sat has been seeded in grass and returned to nature, a weak echo of the power production can still occur in the remaining fission byproducts. It is this lingering hint of danger that must be studied and understood for a complete survey of nuclear power and the technology that makes it possible. Radiation, Revised Edition explains the nature of radiation in its many forms. It explores what is and isn't dangerous about radiation, explaining its effects in matter in both living and non-living things. This comprehensive resource also examines the many industrial uses of radiation, from smoke detectors to dental X-rays; the many techniques used to detect and measure this invisible phenomenon; practical measures of radiation protection; and ways of treating radiation exposure. Complete with full-color photographs and illustrations, Radiation, Revised Edition is a timely guide written in accessible language that will appeal to high school and college students alike.

        The Future of Nuclear Power, Revised Edition

        by James A. Mahaffey, Ph.D.

        Newly conceived, safer reactor designs are being built in the United States (and around the world) to replace the 104 obsolete operating nuclear power reactors in this country alone. The designs—which once seemed exotic and futuristic—are now 40 years old, and one by one these vintage Generation II plants will reach the end of productive service in the next 30 years. The Future of Nuclear Power, Revised Edition examines the advanced designs, practical concepts, and fully developed systems that have yet to be used. This eBook introduces readers to the traditional, American system of units, with some archaic terms remaining in use. Ideal for students and teachers interested in the technology of energy production in the next 100 years, this updated, full-color resource provides clear explanations of the terms and expressions used almost exclusively in nuclear science and the direction in which nuclear power is expected to go.

        Fusion, Revised Edition

        by James A. Mahaffey, Ph.D.

        Billions of dollars have been spent and hundreds of reactors have been built, but not a watt of usable power has been produced by a controlled fusion device. Unlike fission systems, precise prediction of fusion system behavior by mathematical means has proven difficult. Still, the advantages of this ultimate source of limitless power are too great to abandon. As energy problems of the world grow, work toward fusion power continues at a greater pace than ever before. The topic of fusion is one that is often met with the most recognition and interest in the nuclear power arena. Written in clear and jargon-free prose, Fusion, Revised Edition explores the big bang of creation to the blackout death of worn-out stars. A brief history of fusion research, beginning with the first tentative theories in the early 20th century, is also discussed, as well as the race for fusion power. This updated, full-color resource examines the various programs currently being funded or planned as well as the reality of fusion power and the magnitude of the challenge for future scientists and engineers.

        Greenhouse Gases, Second Edition

        Worldwide Impacts

        by Julie Kerr, Ph.D.

        While there are several factors that contribute to global warming, such as natural changes in the Earth's inclination and revolution around the sun, by far the biggest factor is the emission of greenhouse gases. Carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, chlorofluorocarbons, water vapor, and nitrous oxide are added at alarming rates to the atmosphere by daily human activity. Every person on Earth has a "carbon footprint"—a measure of greenhouse gas contributed to the atmosphere on a daily basis. Some people's footprints are much higher than others; for instance, those that live in developed countries such as the United States (the largest greenhouse gas emitter), emit much greater amounts than those living in undeveloped countries of the world. Various activities, such as agricultural and deforestation practices, also emit greenhouse gases. Thoroughly updated and featuring new graphs, charts, and illustrations, Greenhouse Gases, Second Edition explores the very important role these gases play and their global impact on populations and ecosystems worldwide. The goal of this eBook is to provide readers with an understanding of the various sources of these gases, their interaction with the atmosphere, their effect on natural systems, and why controlling them is critical to the Earth's future climate. Other issues discussed in this full-color eBook include the role of the ozone and a concept called "global dimming" and how it relates to global warming. Chapters include: The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming Carbon Sequestration Agriculture and Greenhouse Gases Deforestation and Greenhouse Gases Anthropogenic Causes and Effects The Fate of Natural Refuges Global Warming Around the World Mitigation and Adaptation to Climate Change.
