Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - About 80 years ago, it was possible for the first time to confirm what modern science had suggested for centuries: Earth shows its sphericity based on a curved horizon. The following age of space flights opened other opportunities. First, our home planet could be observed from low Earth orbits, and then, a while later, even from the distance of the Moon. Interplanetary space flights even shifted our perspective out into the universe. Images sent back from many spacecraft showed how Earth and its Moon are part of the solar system.This book is a journey away from Earth, but always looking back at it. The journey starts with balloon flights reaching the stratosphere, followed by the tedious attempts to reach space. When space flight in low Earth orbits had been achieved, frequent unmanned and manned missions covered that region. Further milestones reached geostationary orbit and the Moon. Interplanetary missions allowed us to become acquainted with large parts of the solar system. They showed us how unique our home planet Earth is. A photo from a distance of 6 billion kilometers, the famous 'pale blue dot,' always reminds us of this fact.The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. The author has subsequently revised the text further in an endeavour to refine the work stylistically.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This Palgrave Pivot book analyses the current state of economic and financial relations between China and the European Union. It illustrates the 'de-risking' strategy that informs much of financial policy between China and the EU and argues that this differs from the policy of 'decoupling' that characterizes the US approach towards China. Exploring how the EU positions itself in the context of a trade and tech race between the US and China, the book sketches out a range of geopolitical challenges for Europe as it navigates current and future scenarios in global economic cooperation and competition. It discusses the concept of 'strategic autonomy' for the EU and explores barriers to achieving this as well as options for re-shaping relations with China. The book provides an excellent overview for researchers and policy-makers of Sino-EU economic relations today and sets them firmly in the contexts of the post-pandemic world with new global value chains, rapid technological development, and evolving environmental challenges.…

According to the ISTQB® guidelines for syllabus-based training, an exercise must be provided for each learning objective at the K3 level, and a practical example must be provided for each objective at the K2 or K3 level. In order to satisfy these requirements, the authors prepared numerous exercises and examples for all learning objectives at these levels. In addition, for each learning objective, one or more sample exam questions are presented which are similar to those that the candidate will see in the exam. This makes the book an excellent aid for studying and preparing for the exam and verifying acquired knowledge.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Studying the evolution of the surfaces and atmospheres of planetary bodies in the solar system is fundamental to our understanding of the present state of the solar system. Exospheres are the interfaces between the planetary body and the open space, so that, studying the exospheric filling and loss processes is the way to expand knowledge of the body's evolution. Surface and atmospheric changes are caused predominantly by the continuous bombardment of the bodies by photons, energetic ions, and micrometeoroids. Eventually, the ongoing processes are functions of the space environment, in other words, the planets are subjected to space weather.This book focuses on the large subset of planetary objects (planets, moons, and small bodies) that are not protected by either strong magnetic fields or thick atmospheres in the inner solar system where the solar influence is stronger. The main exponents class regarding this class of objects are Mercury and the Moon. In these cases, the exosphere is directly connected to the surface, thus, it is called a surface-bounded exosphere. This is due to the surface release processes that are also the exospheric filling ones, where atoms and molecules collide with the surface far more frequently than collisions with each other.Duringthe last decade, several space missions provided important new findings for many airless bodies. Furthermore, new ground-based imaging techniques offered thepossibility of improved exosphere observations. In the next decade, the ESA-JAXA BepiColombo missionwillexplore Mercury utilizing two spacecraft. And on a global scale, almost all space agencies willforeseeorbiters and landers to the Moon as part of their spaceprograms.This collection of articles summarizes the current state of knowledge on surface-bounded exospheres, as a support for the interpretationof datathat will be received from the forthcomingmissions, for the next-generation of scientists that will be involved in the exploration of Mercury, the Moon and other airless bodies, including exoplanets.Reprinted from theSpace Science Reviews Topical Collection Surface-Bounded Exospheres and Interactions in the Inner Solar System.…

Chapters trace how these groups have used their experiences to assert an expert witness status and have sought out new spaces to expand the scope, inclusivity, and applicability of welfare services.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This open access book provides a fresh perspective on analysis and synthesis across several areas of inquiry. The two operations form a primary basis of modern laboratory science, ranging from the spectrographic analysis used in practically every scientific discipline today, to the naming of entire disciplines, such as synthetic organic chemistry. Despite their acknowledged significance, however, the history of analysis, synthesis, and their relations over the longue durée is poorly understood. Several volumes have been devoted to the history of analysis and synthesis in the sense that premodern mathematicians and philosophers used the terms, but very little work has been done on the tradition of material decomposition and recomposition and its relationship to mathematics and philosophy. The present volume brings together scholars in the history of medicine, mathematics, philosophy, chemistry, and alchemy to explore the ways in which these multiple disciplines understood and used analysis and synthesis as experimental, justificatory, and conceptual tools.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 412 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book is a concise, self-contained treatise on abstract algebra with an introduction to number theory, where students normally encounter rigorous mathematics for the first time. The authors build up things slowly, by explaining the importance of proofs. Number theory with its focus on prime numbers is then bridged via complex numbers and linear algebra, to the standard concepts of a course in abstract algebra, namely groups, representations, rings, and modules.The interplay between these notions becomes evident in the various topics studied. Galois theory connects field extensions with automorphism groups. The group algebra ties group representations with modules over rings, also at the level of induced representations. Quadratic reciprocity occurs in the study of Fourier analysis over finite fields. Jordan decomposition of matrices is obtained by decomposition of modules over PID's of complex polynomials. This latter example is just one of many stunning generalizations of the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, which in its various guises penetrates abstract algebra and figures multiple times in the extensive final chapter on modules.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Die Verantwortungsfrage wird heute oft gestellt: Wer trägt die Verantwortung für den letzten politischen Konflikt Wer ist schuld an der Insolvenz der Firma Wer an der Niederlage gegen den Tabellenletzten Und schon im Alltag spielt Verantwortung eine große Rolle: Menschen übernehmen sie, wenn sie pünktlich zur Arbeit gehen, den Müll korrekt trennen oder versuchen, nicht zu viel Energie zu verbrauchen. Manche Menschen neigen nun besonders dazu, Verantwortung immer wieder auf die eigenen Schultern zu laden. Eine solche übertriebene Verantwortlichkeit wird inzwischen mit einer ganzen Reihe psychischer Krankheiten in Verbindung gebracht: etwa Depression, generalisierte Angststörung, soziale Phobie oder der Zwangsstörung. Vor allem führt eine ausgeprägte Neigung zur Verantwortungsübernahme schnell zu Überlastung und Burnout.Dieses Buch zeigt Wege auf, die eigene ausgeprägte Neigung, sich selbst (oder auch anderen) Verantwortung zuzuschreiben, zu überwinden- und auf eine gesunde und ausgewogene Weise verantwortungsbewusst zu leben.Aus dem Inhalt:Die guten und schlechten Seiten, Verantwortung zu übernehmen; die eigene Überverantwortlichkeit ausfindig machen; die vielen Gesichter übertriebener Verantwortlichkeit; Übungen zu einer ausgewogenen Verantwortungsübernahme.Über den Autor:Dipl.-Psych.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The book initiates a relational turn in policy making and governance by developing further relational political analysis and by taking relational thinking to bear on not just analytic/descriptive issues, but also to normative/prescriptive issues. The need for such a turn, this book argues, comes from the ever-increasing relevance of addressing the so-called wicked problems of governance like climate change, COVID-19 kinds of pandemics, global economic recessions and refugee crises. The book argues for a need to rethink governance as a process from the relational point of view to spur its potential for addressing these problems. What needs to be rethought is not so much the specific tools or resources of governance, but the very issue of whether governance should be seen in terms of tools and resources in the first place. This book contributes to this discussion by consolidating the relational approaches to governance thus far and by taking them to a next - normative/prescriptive- level.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book presents an in-depth investigation into street gang involvement, desistance, and non-involvement through the lens of the Risk Factor Prevention Paradigm (RFPP). This framework encompasses five domains of risk and prevention: family, neighbourhood, peers, individual, and school. It identifies the risk and protective factors that influence young people to either engage in, desist or abstain from involvement in deviant street groups.Based on a comprehensive five-and-a-half-year study, the author draws upon his lifelong experience living in Stockbridge Village, Merseyside, one of the most deprived areas in the UK marked by street gang activity and organised crime. The author's unique position allows him to establish a strong rapport with young, disenfranchised individuals involved in street gangs.This book offers a comprehensive exploration of critical observations related to street gang involvement by integrating insights that provide a nuanced understanding of the sociocultural factors that both drive individuals toward gang involvement and contribute to their desistance from it. The author highlights key topics including the practice of drug dealing as deviant entrepreneurship, the role of friendship networks in determining engagement in street gang-related activities, the allure of risk as a motivator for involvement and the participation of young women through relationships with young men associated with street gangs. Ultimately, the work offers fresh perspectives on both gang membership and non-membership, advocating for the development of homegrown interventions rooted in social capital through bridging and social mobility as viable strategies for addressing street gang involvement.…
