Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book is about why we age and how to fix it. Human aging, a complex biological process, has long eluded a unified explanation. The book explains that aging is fundamentally a cellular energy crisis, driven by the progressive ac…cumulation of damage to the vulnerable DNA of mitochondria, the cell's primary energy producers. Drawing on this perspective, which emphasizes energy conservation and flow in biological systems, new light is cast on the traditional theories of aging, demonstrating that the recognized 'Hallmarks of Aging' are all downstream consequences of the fundamental energy falloff. While currently available longevity interventions offer modest, short-term benefits that address some aging symptoms, none can resolve this underlying energy shortage. The path to true age reversal requires the application of strong measures, primarily the new technology of high-volume mitochondrial transplantation. The Age Reversal Revolution is about to shake the foundations of our civilization, and this book provides the key to understanding it and joining in its benefits. 177 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This open access book presents fresh archival evidence to explore the underexamined manuscript cultures of girls living in Britain in the late nineteenth century. Girls were keen writers during this period, which witnessed Golden A…ges of children's literature and journalism, as well as major developments in proto feminism. Girl writers were particularly prolific in the writing of manuscript magazines. These were handmade magazines in which the contributors were also the readers and subscribers. This book presents three case study chapters exploring manuscript magazines which were created and exchanged amongst girl-led writing groups and within families, and references many other examples of manuscript magazine cultures from the late-Victorian period. It argues that strategies of transformative writing namely appropriating literary texts often characterized girls' contributions to manuscript magazines. 136 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This Open access book explores the connections between everyday life, institutional politics, and social hierarchies that underlie the disputes between progressive forces and the radical right. It studies the case of Brazil, which…is especially suggestive, given the particular combination of political choices and variables of class, gender, race, region and religion as well as the different transitions in a short period of time. The book's central thesis is that political choices reflect the potential of different political discourses whether from the left or the (extreme) right to articulate sufferings, anxieties, and expectations generated by shifts in peoples intersectional situation. Starting from this perspective, it studies how both institutional politics and real and virtual everyday spaces have been transformed into arenas where those who have lost or fear losing privileges and positions confront those who have gained or hope to gain new rights and standing within existing hierarchies.The book combines timely themes and approaches: critical research on social inequalities, relations between capitalism and democracy, political activism. Politically, it presents a comprehensive diagnosis of the advance of the far right and can contribute to nurturing progressive strategies to react to these threats. Although based on cutting-edge theoretical debates, the book is written in easily accessible language that can be understood by a broad readership. 123 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This open access book primarily focuses on the methodologies for measuring the permeability of tight rock formations. Permeability stands as a pivotal parameter in assessing the permeability or transport capacity of tight reservoir…s, exerting a significant influence on the extraction of reservoir resources. Laboratory experiments on permeability serve as a crucial means to understand the intrinsic permeability of shale. However, the permeability of shale is exceedingly low and is susceptible to influences from various experimental factors such as gas adsorption, ambient temperature, and testing apparatus. The precise measurement of shale permeability remains one of the challenges that perplex researchers and designers. This book aims to address the following key issues: permeability measurement methods that take into account the effects of adsorption, and the measurement of anisotropic permeability in rocks. 115 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book explores the varying effects of wildfire on individuals, families, communities, and governments as local and State agencies in California grapple with the realities of recovery. The field of wildfire recovery is an industry in d…esign. Policies, procedures, and funding rules and regulations for recovery change with each disaster, which means there is no predictability, capacity-building, nor system/design being built in California as communities are destroyed/impacted by fire. Even in Butte County, impacted by 12 federally declared disasters in the past 10 years and home to the deadliest and most destructive fire in State history, each recovery process requires the application of different requirements which prolongs recovery and, as a result, suffering.Because of this, recovery adds hardship to the trauma of fire which erodes the ability of professionals and agencies to be effective. This book offers insights and examples of these hardships for the purpose of exposing the inconsistencies and misalignments within State and federal policy that suppress recovery, and recommendations to adopt new definitions and approaches that cut down on complexity and begin to frame up industry design. There is a better way!The book outlines the ways in which State and federal agencies can codify and localize their approaches to wildfire recovery, beginning to parse out the differences between recovering from an urban fire and rural wildland fire, and key recovery pace and scale indicators such as ownership versus renting, municipal infrastructure versus wells/septic, insurability/underinsurance. There are highly defined and practiced approaches to response and early recovery, and this book proposes to use a similar approach for long-term recovery design so professionals enter a known, defined, but adaptive-in-the-moment field.What makes this book distinctive is acknowledging the thread of trauma throughout fire, aftermath, and recovery. Trauma is the inconvenient truth of wildfire, unavoidable and destructive in its own right. Recovery professionals are subject to secondary trauma through working directly with survivors through the hardship of recovery programs. Wildfire trauma complicates family and friend relationships in a myriad of ways because, community wide, the source of trauma is the same but the impacts are different. Trauma can be the single reason an individual fails to recover when, time after time, resources and support are offered and refused. By not acknowledging trauma in the workplace after disaster, burnout and resentment are difficult to name and address. Using a trauma-informed approach, or just building awareness about what trauma looks like after wildfire, consultants and recovery professionals can reduce or at least neutralize the hardship individuals and communities experience during long-term recovery. 194 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -It is not hyperbole to state that galactic ecosystems have spawned pretty much everything that we hold dear including ourselves. These nebular nurseries have incubated all the stars, planetary systems, and many of the complex molec…ules known to humanity. From there, the myriad of planets in orbit around their hosting stars have further refined the organic matter into even more complex biochemicals. On the surface of one particularly moist planet, life took hold, and evolutionary processes led to you and me collectively pondering the wonders of galactic ecosystems via this book.Given the seminal role of galactic ecosystems in hosting this tale of being and becoming, it is necessary to consider the full sweep of cosmic scales. In this book, we will explore atomic nuclei and their alchemic transmutations within stars, the assembly of atoms into molecules within cryogenic clouds, and prospects for building up the macromolecules necessary for life as we know it. On a much larger scale, we will discover protostars and protoplanetary disks inside molecular cloud cores a few light-years in size, their hosting molecular clouds tens of light-years across, giant molecular clouds and ionized nebulae hundreds of light-years in extent, and finally entire starburst galaxies spanning thousands of light-years.Along the way, we will gain an appreciation for the most massive, powerful, and short-lived stars as they transform their natal environments via their intense radiation, winds, and explosive deaths. Without the elemental beneficence of these stars, rocky planets, water, and life itself would be impossible.Through reading this book, you will obtain a better understanding of your birthright as a child of the cosmos. As with all lifeforms on Earth, and likely myriad of other lifeforms on worlds yet to be explored, this sense of communion pervades the cosmos, made visceral through the awesome creativity of galactic ecosystems. 213 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The study of the effects of ultrasound waves on a chemical reaction is known as sonochemistry. Ultrasound radiation (between 20 kHz and 2 MHz) is used to drive chemical and physical processes in solution. When ultrasound waves pass… through liquid, they generate tiny bubbles that expand and then collapse quickly. This process releases energy, which can speed up the chemical reactions. Sonochemistry is considered a sustainable technology because it often utilizes less energy, requires fewer toxic chemicals, and generates less waste compared to traditional chemical processes.Ultrasound waves are utilized in various processes including synthesis, crystallization, and purifications and find applications in various sectors like pharmaceuticals, material sciences, agriculture, food processing, and environment science.This book is focused on applications of sonochemistry. It begins by explaining the basics of the technology and moves on to describing applications in the fields of chemistry, chemical engineering, and environmental engineering, and discussed applications currently being developed and future outlook. 120 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book reframes the opioid crisis as far more than a story of reckless prescribing or pharmaceutical misconduct. It uncovers the deeper socioeconomic, political, and cultural forces that have shaped one of the most devastating public h…ealth emergencies in modern U.S. history. Through clear analysis and compelling evidence, it challenges readers to reconsider what they think they know and why conventional narratives fall short.Moving seamlessly across disciplines, the book draws from econometrics, qualitative fieldwork, spatial modeling, and socioecological theory to illuminate the structural and place-based contexts in which addiction takes root. It exposes how declining economic opportunity, eroding social cohesion, regulatory contradictions, and distorted media portrayals have interacted to produce widespread vulnerability. Each chapter reveals overlooked mechanisms, from the consequences of free market healthcare to the lived experiences of stigma, trauma, and marginalization.Offering more than critique, the book charts a path forward. Through case studies, innovative prevention frameworks, and community centered solutions, it outlines a prevention approach focused on addressing root causes rather than symptoms. The result is a vital, multidimensional resource for policymakers, researchers, practitioners, and anyone seeking a deeper, more actionable understanding of the opioid crisis and the systemic change required to end it. 230 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines the forgotten proposal to make Constantinople the headquarters of the League of Nations after the First World War, in order to rethink the origins of modern international order. By tracing the debate between liberal int…ernationalism and Western imperialism, it shows how global governance was shaped by power, geography, and ideology rather than universal principles. The author argues that the choice of Geneva as the League s seat was not a neutral administrative decision, but a deeply political one. Focusing on the years from 1919 to 1920, the book reconstructs a critical moment when two competing visions of world order collided: the first, an inclusive, post-imperial internationalism advanced by figures such as David Davies, versus an imperial internationalism championed by policy-makers and the likes of Jan Smuts and Robert Henry Brand. At stake was whether the League would emerge as a genuinely global institution or as a reconfigured instrument of Western dominance. Drawing on pamphlets, Peace Conference minutes, parliamentary debates, and archival sources, the book offers a new perspective on postwar diplomacy, the League of Nations, and the spatial politics of international institutions. 108 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book explores two fundamental concepts in philosophy: truth and relation. These concepts indicate the unconditioned condition and the empirical-formal universe that truth unilaterally conditions, respectively. Indeed, truth condition…s the empirical-formal universe without being conditioned by it. It is argued that the reduction of truth to various theories explaining its empirical use has led to the unconditioned nature of truth itself being lost. But if truth is not grasped for its absolute value, it is reduced to relation.The book aims to show that the concept of relation if understood as a static construct of two terms and a nexus is a contradictory construct, since it reconciles the irreconcilable: dependence and independences of the related terms. Thus, only insofar as truth is absolute is it authentic truth, because it does not depend on anything else, but is autonomous and self-sufficient. Indeed, if truth were not absolute, it would be determined and, as such, would be defined by a limit that would place it in relation to something other than itself, i.e. non-truth. But this is contradictory as it would make truth reliant on what is not truth. Instead, no determination can ground itself: the circle of referring that requires the determination to refer beyond itself cannot be the ground, because it configures nothing other than an infinite regress.In conclusion, the book shows that truth has to be understood not only as the end of a quest, but also as its condition, since it is only in virtue of absolute truth that the inadequacy and therefore the unintelligibility of all that is finite or relative are recognised.Truth and Relation is essential reading for all scholars, researchers and advanced students of philosophy and, in particular, of metaphysics and epistemology. 98 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book aims to reflect critically on a great deal of HCI research conducted with or concerned about older adults and aging with the goal of sparking future development of the field. To that end, the book offers a critical literature re…view, which is informed by more than a decade of the author s own empirical work, of 30 years of research in HCI and related areas, including STS, sociology, the psychology of aging, and gerontology. Four key aspects are addressed: (1) conceptualization of older adults, aging, and technology, (2) progress in knowledge generation in HCI and aging, (3) conducting research methods with older adults, and (4) designing technologies for aging. To accomplish this, the book starts by considering the diversity and intersectionality of the older adult population of technology users and its implications for effectively applying HCI research methodologies. It critiques the tendency within HCI studies of solely conceptualizing aging as a problem, one that has a technological solution, and preoccupation with user deficits related to health and age-related declines in functional abilities. The book proposes a significant need for a horizontal body of knowledge in the field that is stymied by individuated development practices that start from scratch with their considerations of the older adult population for each new technology or application. This book calls on researchers to consider novel techniques without overlooking the need to deepen and widen a transversal knowledge base that helps the field progress further and produce technologies that ultimately better serve all users. 152 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The 2024 Paris Olympics broke many records and had multiple highlights. It constituted the first Olympics with gender parity among athletes, had a special focus on sustainability, and showed record breaking performances including 32 new w…orld records. The Games attracted more than 1 million spectators in different venues in and around Paris, and billions of spectators on TV across the globe. Without exaggeration, the Paris Games were the largest and most popular sports event of the year, and most likely the decade so far.Yet the Paris Olympics were not only a sporting event. From its global scale, corporate sponsors and nationalistic symbols, to the controversies some aspects of the Games triggered, they were also an inherently political spectacle. Focusing particularly on the National Olympic Hospitality Houses and the ways in which global crises such as the wars in Gaza and Ukraine complicated the organization of the Games, this volume examines the political nature of the Paris Games from various perspectives. In doing so, it highlights the dualism between sports and politics, transparency and corruption, and peace and conflict. 120 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -'Brum has made an original and sophisticated contribution to contemporary debates on democratic alternatives to capitalism. It combines political economy, institutional analysis, and cultural critique with unusual clarity and ambition.' C…ostas Lapavitsas, University of LondonDemocratic Alternatives investigates the intersection of social democracy, market socialism, and the radical critique of the Situationist International. While the Situationists rejected reformism outright, their analysis of alienation, commodification, and the spectacle provides a powerful lens for evaluating institutional reforms in contemporary capitalism. This book argues that policies such as universal basic income, reduction of the working day, participatory urbanism, and cooperative management of resources though not revolutionary in themselves can open cracks in the dominant logic of capital. Drawing on a novel analytical framework, the book evaluates reforms through Situationist categories such as decommodification, autonomy, spatial reappropriation, and détournement of institutions. Two case studies Iceland s working-time reduction experiment and the Mondragón cooperative movement illustrate both the transformative potential and risks of co-optation. The book positions itself between the intransigent legacy of the Situationists and the practical necessity of reform, arguing for non-reformist reforms that create conditions for social experimentation, creativity, and political participation. Written with academic rigor and critical sensitivity, it offers scholars, students, and activists a methodological tool to assess when and how reforms may contribute to a post-spectacular society. 148 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines how older adults with physical disabilities living at home develop dietary resilience strategies to maintain independence, agency, and dignity in later life. Drawing on extensive theoretical literature and rich qualitat…ive research with home dwelling older adults, it analyses how people adapt to food related challenges associated with ageing (such as declining health, mobility limitations, sensory changes, financial constraints, retirement, widowhood, and social isolation) and how they mobilise personal, social, and cultural resources to sustain meaningful eating practices.Grounded in a robust conceptual framework that integrates gerontology, the life course perspective, nutritional science, gender studies, and the anthropology of food, the book reframes dietary resilience as a multidimensional process shaped not only by biological or nutritional needs but also by identity, cultural continuity, social relationships, and everyday experiences of agency. It reveals how older adults adapt recipes and routines, diversify food sources, reorganise kitchen environments, rely on supportive networks, practise mindful eating, and preserve pleasure and ritual in ways that reinforce autonomy and well being despite physical limitations. A key contribution of the book is its attention to gendered life histories and foodwork, showing how men and women draw on different forms of knowledge, social capital, and embodied experience to negotiate changing capabilities and roles in later life.Short yet comprehensive, the book foregrounds the sense of security and independence that food provides in old age and highlights strength based strategies through which older adults maintain quality of life. It concludes with practical implications for researchers, professionals, and caregivers seeking to support autonomy, culturally meaningful nutrition, and dignified ageing. 161 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book explores the role of algorithmic media services (e.g. Instagram, Google, Twitter/X, TikTok) in mass communication. It provides empirical analyses of these media as digital environments which shape news distribution, advertising…practices, and interpersonal communication. Drawing on interdisciplinary research from media studies, computer science, and communication, the book separates evidence-based insights from widespread folk theories about big tech companies and their role in society. By focusing on structural changes introduced by algorithmic mediation, this work contributes to ongoing discussions about digital literacy, regulation of big tech, and the future of democratic discourse. The structural focus also provides theoretical insights regarding dispersed gatekeeping roles in algorithmic media environments, the communication dynamics surrounding enshittification, and emerging forms of digital capital in the age of influencers. Overall, the book offers a pragmatic perspective toward the rapidly-evolving digital communication environment, emphasizing human agency and the potential for more purposeful engagement with algorithmic media. 168 pp. Englisch.
