Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Niels Bohr, a eminent Nobel laureate, remarked wittily: ¿An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field¿. Egyptologists claim that the Egyptian pharaoh Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten) was a religious reformer who proclaimed the primacy of the solar god Aton over all other gods. But 19 rays on a limestone slab from Ancient Egypt, located in the Egyptian museum in Berlin, already almost 200 years convince us of the opposite. And to this day, Egyptologists are mistaken in answering the question of how to decipher the name ¿Nefertiti¿, where she was born and also where the 'Garden of Eden' was located, but the text in this book and 'x-ray photographs' of the Jordan Valley is absolutely new information about this. In the Great Egyptian pyramid, from special compartments, which Egyptologists mistakenly call 'the King's Chamber¿ and ¿the Queen's Chamber¿, four mysterious extremely narrow and long shafts come out but Egyptologists are mistaken when they explain for what purpose these shafts are intended. How the ancient highly developed civilization intended to use them and much more new and unknown, you will read in this book.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In Platonic ontology, all beings, both the visible or physical and the invisible or metaphysical ones, are located somewhere. Why however does Plato attribute such importance to the concept of place, and in what specific way should we exactly consider this need in general of Plato to locate all beings without exception in a certain place This is the main question which is elaborated in this book. Through the attempt to give an answer to it, that which is in essence being sought, is to make it evident that, for Plato, 'Being' and 'Place' are concepts inseparable from each other, and that the broad concept of place cannot be identified with physical, geometric space. As such, the study of this inseparable correlation between Being and Place in Plato' s thought, presented in this book, is of important research interest for academics, scholars and researchers in the field of Philosophy, and in particular of the Platonic philosophy. At the same time, it is, however, also particularly useful for students of Philosophy, as well as for anyone else interested in examining the concepts of 'Being' and 'Place' and in exploring the relationship between them.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Western knowledge has been undergoing development over many centuries because it is based on scientific tests and verification. Indigenous knowledge on the other hand is based on trial and error and experience. Western knowledge is developed at universities , colleges and private firms. Indigenous knowledge is transferred orally from generation to generation. Although indigenous knowledge was not developed scientifically it has however sustained indigenous people over many centuries. Western knowledge is documented and everybody who can read and write can access it on his/ her own. Indigenous knowledge on the other hand is transferred through oral media. This places western knowledge at an advantage over indigenous knowledge because it can be subjected to critical analysis and developed further. Indigenous knowledge on the other hand does not enjoy the same privilege because it is not documented. Western knowledge has been undergoing development in leaps and bounds while indigenous knowledge remained stagnant. However this does not mean that the two knowledge systems cannot work to gather to fill-in gaps that exist in mainstream knowledge.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Unintended consequences of multilateral targeted sanctions have received growing attention in recent years. This study examines the unintended consequences of the sanctions regime imposed on Libya from 2011 to 2017 on the following three domains. Firstly, on corruption and criminality, secondly on humanitarian consequences and human rights¿ violations and lastly on political factionalism. Combining the ¿generic complexity theory¿ with the ¿security governance theory¿, this research argues that the multilateral sanctions regime imposed on Libya post-2011 contributed, amongst other factors, to the three above mentioned negative consequences. Particularly, it illustrates how the sanctions led to the proliferation of arms, which, in turn, strengthened a variety of political factions leading to great instability in Libya. On a theoretical level, this study approves both above mentioned theories and especially highlights the value of complexity theory.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Erwinia amylovora, a bacterial blight affecting fruit, is one of the most known and dangerous diseases affecting quince, pear and apple and other Rosaceae family plants. It was first discovered in America in 1780, and first appeared in Macedonian quinces in 1989. Erwinia amylovora, called bacterial blight of fruit trees and ornamental plants, is one of the most intensely pathogenic bacteria that have been studied. It is assumed that the disease was first recognised in the United States at the end of the 18th century in wild species of plants, from which the bacteria spread to sensitive varieties of pear (Pyrus communis), apple (Malus silvestris) and quince (Cydonia oblongata), introduced by early American settlers from Eastern Europe and Southwest Asia. Drying of fruit trees was first observed in mountainous areas on both sides of the Hudson River in New York. From this region, the bacteria spread at high speed to neighbouring countries. Symptoms of E. amylovora are generally seen in the flowers which dehydrate and then turn either brown or black. The most massive and intensive symptoms is spread from the flowers.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Visit the arms and armor section of a large museum and you will most likely be able to view Damascus steel swords that display an attractive surface pattern. These swords were superior to western swords. After around 1850 no one knew how to make one of these swords in spite of efforts by western and eastern smiths and scientists to reproduce them. This mystery was intriguing to metallurgists like the auther himself and he began reading about them and doing experiments to try to solve the mystery in the mid-1980s. His initial efforts were not successful, but they led to a collaboration with master bladesmith Al Pendray of Williston Florida. They became friends and worked together communicating and visiting between Iowa and Florida. This book tells the story of their work together over the 10-year period it took them to figure out how to reproduce these blades. Al was able to successfully produce swords and knives that match both the internal structure and surface patterns of the best museum quality Damascus swords. And they have developed a reasonable theory on how and why the patterns form on these blades during the forging process.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The book is dedicated to the problems of creating special nuclear reactors with a very hard neutron spectrum in the core in order to incinerate long-lived toxic minor actinides. The requirements for obtaining a hard neutron spectrum in the core of the reactor lead to the need to use nuclear fuel and a coolant that slow moderate neutrons. Metallic fuel should be used as a fuel, and as a coolant, natural lead, whose isotopic composition accounts for the fraction (52.3%) of the slow-moderating Pb-208 isotope. An even more harder neutron spectrum can be obtained in the case of using a coolant based on enriched at gas centrifuges Pb-208 or radiogenic Pb-208 extracted from lead-rich thorium ores. The next condition leading to a hard neutron spectrum is the small core, D x H ¿ 0.5 x 0.5 meters, in which the initial neutron fission spectra of U-235, Pu-239, Pu-241 are not strongly changed. The latter requirement means that reactors on hard neutrons should be classified as small-scale power reactors, within which their thermal capacity of reactors does not exceed a value of the order of 200-300 MW.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Millions of people are displaced every year due to urban development and creation of large-scale developmental projects, such as dams, and highways. Analysing the concept of development-induced development, this study merely questions the idea of dispossession being an indispensable byproduct of development. It examines the very rationale behind one such project in Pakistan ¿ the Lyari Expressway - and demonstrates how the project was justified in the name of greater common good; nonetheless it ended causing insurmountable anguish and pain to thousands of displaced persons. Drawing attention to the dominant interests of the state and the powerful actors within a society, the study contends how these development projects often produce an anti-poor bias, thereby creating unequal benefits for the less powerful members of the society. As capitalism intensifies, the need for mega-projects will rise and subsequently its associated dispossession will escalate. Thus there is an ever greater need to strike a balance between development and the interests of the citizens. This book is recommended for academics in social and political sciences and to development experts and policy makers.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Decisions are made constantly and at so many different levels, global, national, local, social, political, and economic. In practice, decision makers are often facing controversial issues and they are challenged to select those goals that they want to optimize in contrast to others that they are willing to accept deviation from the optimal performance. Decision Making can be defined as the attempt of solving dilemmas raised by conflicting pursuits (Zeleny, 1982). The scope of Multicriteria Analysis (MCA) is the investigation of decision problems, which take into account multiple criteria (Kahneman et al., 1982).Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Over time neighbourhoods within South Africa have shown opposition to subsidized housing programmes being developed within their areas. This is due to the perceived negative impacts of these housing developments on the neighbourhood. Opposition has grown since the implementation of the Housing Code of 2009. The Code aims to integrate low income households into more affluent areas, in order to provide these households with greater access to economic and social opportunities, which they were previously denied having been placed on the urban periphery. Opponents to subsidized housing developments have nevertheless expressed concerns with a possible decline in property values. These concerns are however based on opinion rather than factual evidence. This book therefore provides an analysis of the impact of subsidized housing. The study makes use of quantitative methods so that the results can be objective and unhindered by NIMBY fears. The results will provide insight into the potential effects of different housing programmes on the prices of properties in neighbouring areas.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.
