Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This open-access book celebrates fifty years of the quest to understand quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a form of extremely hot and dense matter that existed in the first microseconds after the Big Bang and may still play a role today in the interiors of neutron stars. Over the past decades, scientists have developed the capability to recreate this extreme state of matter under laboratory conditions through high-energy collisions of heavy atomic nuclei in powerful particle accelerators. These experiments probe the fundamental predictions of quantum chromodynamics - the theory of the strong interaction that binds quarks and gluons into protons, neutrons, and ultimately all atomic nuclei.The book comprises two parts. The first presents personal reflections by some of the leading scientists who have shaped the field since its early years. The second offers topical reviews that trace the evolution of both theoretical understanding and experimental programs aimed at identifying and characterizing QGP signatures. It provides historical reviews of developments in experimental programs at leading laboratories worldwide, including Brookhaven National Laboratory and CERN, while highlighting future directions in experimental programs at major laboratories.Overall, this volume takes readers on a reflective and commemorative journey through five decades of progress in the study of quark-gluon plasma: from its theoretical conceptualization to detailed investigations at dedicated experimental facilities, while offering a forward-looking view of this dynamic area of modern physics. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This gold open access book presents an integrated perspective on the implementation of circular economy principles across the building lifecycle, developed within the framework of the COST Action CircularB - Implementation of Circular Economy in the Built Environment. It combines research on circular design strategies, conceptual-stage decision-making, and BIM-enabled digital implementation frameworks to support the transition from linear to circular construction practices. The book explores how circularity can be embedded from the earliest architectural and engineering design stages through strategies such as design for adaptability, reversibility, disassembly, modularity, material efficiency, reuse, refurbishment, and lifecycle extension. Particular attention is given to the role of early-stage design decisions in shaping the future environmental performance, resource efficiency, and recovery potential of buildings. Drawing on systematic literature reviews, comparative analyses, stakeholder surveys, and international case studies, the contributions identify current barriers, implementation gaps, and opportunities for scaling circular practices in the built environment. The findings demonstrate that, although circularity strategies are increasingly considered during the design and material selection phases, their integration into building operation, digital lifecycle management, governance frameworks, and circular business models remains limited. As a result, most current applications still focus on isolated interventions rather than fully integrated circular systems implemented consistently across the entire building lifecycle. 135 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Over the past century or so, the food industry has been highly successful in producing a broad range of affordable, abundant, convenient, safe, and delicious foods, which has helped to improve the quality of life of people around the world. More recently, however, there have been growing concerns that some of these foods are highly processed products with compositions and structures that are contributing to adverse health effects, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, stroke, and mental health issues. There are therefore calls to reduce or eliminate these so-called ultra-processed foods (UPFs) from our diets. This book reviews the history of UPFs, highlights how they are formulated and manufactured, evaluates their potential adverse health effects, and outlines strategies to improve the healthiness of the modern food supply. These strategies include reformulating UPFs to enhance their health profiles, as well as encouraging changes in government, industry, and consumer practices. The information presented will be useful for those who are trying to create a healthier food supply, as well as to those who simply want to improve their health by making more rational food choices.David Julian McClements is a Distinguished Professor in food science who has employed physics, chemistry, and biology to improve the quality, safety, and healthiness of foods for over 30 years. He has published over 1600 scientific articles and numerous books in this area and is currently the most highly cited food scientist in the world. 332 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Discover the ancient, invisible language of nature!How did chemical means of communication develop over the course of evolution Why are chemical signals so crucial for the survival of plants and animals This nonfiction book takes you on an exciting journey into the world of chemical communication. Billions of years ago, when the Earth was shaken by volcanoes and meteorite impacts, the first living organisms began to use chemical signals in order to survive. This ancient form of communication, known as chemoreception, enabled the earliest cells to find food and avoid dangers. Over the course of evolution, these chemical signals developed further and became an indispensable tool for interaction between organisms. Learn how pheromones, one of the most important classes of biologically active compounds, control animal behavior, and how chemical weapons such as antibiotics and phytoncides are used in the struggle for survival. Discover the fascinating world of semiochemicals, which serve as signaling substances that exchange vital information between organisms. And learn how we humans, too, are part of this chemical communication system. This book is aimed at all those who have an interest in nature and basic knowledge of chemistry and biology. It offers an easy-to-understand, popular-science presentation of chemical communication and shows how these invisible signals influence life on our planet. 227 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Boards today are operating in the most volatile governance environment in modern history, defined by rapid technological change, AI-driven decision-making systems, geopolitical instability, regulatory scrutiny, and rising stakeholder expectations. This book addresses why traditional governance models fail under pressure and how boards must evolve to remain effective, resilient, and credible.Drawing on cutting-edge research and two decades of executive and boardroom experience, this book introduces a connected governance model that integrates network science, AI oversight, cognitive diversity, and crisis preparedness. Rather than treating governance as a static compliance function, this book reframes it as a dynamic leadership system that depends on how boards process information, manage interdependencies, and anticipate emerging risks.Through in-depth case studies of Silicon Valley Bank, Boeing, OpenAI, FTX, Signature Bank, and First Republic, the book reveals common governance breakdowns and extracts actionable lessons for directors and executives to avoid similar failures. Readers are guided through practical tools for board mapping, artificial intelligence (AI) risk oversight, data-driven self-assessment and scenario-based decision-making.Written for directors, senior executives, and governance professionals, Board Governance Rewired serves as both a diagnostic guide and implementation playbook. It equips readers with immediately usable frameworks to strengthen board effectiveness, enhance resilience, and deliver ethical, future-ready governance in an age of constant disruption. 196 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book reinterprets Celso Furtado as a major thinker of International Political Economy and Global International Relations, demonstrating the contemporary relevance of his work for understanding development, global inequality, and the changing world economy. Rather than treating Furtado solely as a Brazilian economist or Latin American structuralist, this book argues that his ideas offer powerful analytical tools for explaining the evolution of global capitalism and the enduring challenges faced by the Global South. Beginning with the debates on Global International Relations and Latin American structuralism, the chapters examine Furtado s concepts of development and underdevelopment, his analysis of the international division of labour, and his reflections on technology, multinational corporations, natural resources, and environmental limits. The book concludes by outlining a Furtadian approach to International Political Economy, showing how his thought helps illuminate contemporary debates on deglobalization, hegemony, dependence, and alternative development strategies for the Global South. 137 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines the macroeconomic consequences of rapid process innovation during the 1920s and early 1930s through Albert Einstein s writings on technological unemployment and purchasing power. It identifies a concrete, economy wide source of technical progress compatible with physical laws: the transition to electric unit drive and the rise of large scale, interconnected utilities, which increased machine speeds and effective rated capacity across U.S. industry. The author provides a structured framework that links physical principles to macroeconomic outcomes, an empirically grounded narrative on electrification and unit drive, and a concise reassessment of technological unemployment as a macro structural issue rather than a firm level anomaly.The study builds on a kinetics based account of wealth creating material processes and models production using classical mechanics, thermodynamics, and process engineering to show how acceleration raised measured productivity while firms faced aggregate demand constraints. It documents 1920s evidence on machine speed and acceleration, integrates these mechanisms into a macroeconomic model with acceleration, and revisits the 1930s policy debate on hours, wages, and institutional design. The analysis distinguishes Einstein s diagnosis regarding technology driven labor displacement from his broader reflections on capitalism versus socialism, positioning both within the economic and intellectual history of the period. The book closes by outlining structural impediments to incomizing potential output, drawing lessons from the post 1939 recovery, and clarifying where Einstein s policy instincts align with the historical record. 137 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book provides a rigorous introduction to Fourier analysis and the theory of distributions without presupposing an advanced background in functional analysis or measure-theoretic integration.The guiding principle throughout is to present the material in an elementary and direct manner without sacrificing mathematical precision or depth. After introducing Fourier series and their fundamental properties in the first chapter, the main ideas of Fourier analysis are developed first for non-periodic functions on Euclidean space, where many concepts can be presented more transparently, and are subsequently transferred to the periodic setting. Likewise, distribution theory is initially developed in the framework of tempered distributions, which allows for a simpler exposition and is particularly well suited to applications in partial differential equations, including those discussed in Chapter 7. Distributions on open subsets of Euclidean space are then introduced via localization, emphasizing their inherently local character. The final chapter presents an elementary proof of the Schwartz kernel theorem based on expansions in Hermite functions, from which the tensor product of distributions is obtained as an immediate consequence. Each chapter concludes with a collection of exercises ranging from routine applications to more challenging problems. 201 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This open access book explores cultural landscapes as living territories where heritage, ecology, community practices, risk, accessibility, and sustainable regeneration intersect, with a particular focus on collaborative governance and territorial resilience.The UNESCO concept of cultural landscapes has broadened heritage protection beyond individual monuments, extending it to ordinary landscapes as essential expressions of community identity, shaped by history, everyday practices, and ecological relations. Today, the valorization of these landscapes is closely linked to global challenges such as climate change, territorial fragility, social inequalities, and the need for sustainable spatial and socio-economic development models. This calls for a shift from restrictive conservation toward collaborative, public-oriented governance, recognizing landscapes as shared and livable territorial assets.This book brings together research outcomes developed at University Federico II Department of Architecture, within CHANGES Cultural Heritage Active Innovation for Sustainable Society, Spoke 1 Historical Landscapes, Traditions and Cultural Identities, supported by the NextGenerationEU programme. Through interdisciplinary contributions, the volume explores cultural landscapes as living territories where heritage, ecology, risk, accessibility, production, welfare, and community practices intersect. It views cultural heritage even in fragmented, vulnerable, and degraded areas as a key asset for territorial regeneration, promoting a regenerative and circular approach based on existing urban resources, neglected spaces, and marginal landscapes.The research establishes a Heritage Community Urban Living Lab and proposes a co-productive, proximity-based planning methodology aimed at reactivating heritage as a shared community resource. This approach is applied to the Phlegraean Fields / Campi Flegrei, in the metropolitan area of Naples (Italy): a high-risk volcanic territory where uncontrolled urban expansion and land consumption have compromised an extraordinary archaeological, rural, and ecological heritage, rendering many sites and landscape resources invisible, difficult to access, and excluded from cultural, and economic valorization. 190 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This open access book approaches self-destructive thoughts and behaviours as inextricable from supernatural belief. It sheds light on the multifaceted ways early modern people negotiated and responded to a range of suicidal thoughts and behaviours which they identified as originating from the devil. Much of the scholarship on suicide has been limited to death by suicide and the legal consequences of this crime. In contrast, this book utilises encounters with the supernatural to access stories of the temptation to harm or kill oneself, as recorded in Britain and New England from the late sixteenth to the early eighteenth century, to centre the experiences of suicidal people and those around them. In unpicking suicide from its criminal context and situating it within a supernatural one, it argues that suicidal thoughts and acts were not nearly so stigmatised in the early modern period as has been assumed. Indeed, the entrenchment of suicidal behaviour within the 'script' of supernatural affliction facilitated its expression. 315 pp. Englisch.…
