Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -'Erfahrung und Ausdruck' zeichnet in detaillierten Untersuchungen einen Umbruch innerhalb der Phänomenologie nach, der bereits bei Husserl einsetzt, sein eigentliches Gewicht aber erst bei späteren Nachfolgern wie Merleau-Ponty und Richir, Levinas und Waldenfels, Marion und Ricoeur erhält. Die Phänomenologie unserer Zeit hält sich kaum mehr allein an die Innenbetrachtung der Erlebnisse eines Ichsubjekts; sie kehrt vielmehr Sinnbildungsprozesse hervor, die nicht in einer Sinngebung durch das Bewußtsein aufgehen, sondern für das bewußte Subjekt unverfügbare Momente ans Licht bringen. Das führt notwendig zu einer Neubestimmung des Verhältnisses von Erfahrung und Ausdruck: Ein als Ort spontaner Sinnbildung verstandenes Erfahrungsgeschehen läßt sich nicht in ein begrifflich-kategoriales Netz vorgefundener Bedeutungen einbinden, sondern verlangt zwingend nach einem 'schöpferischen Ausdruck' (Merleau-Ponty). Der so verstandene Ausdruck der Erfahrung macht wiederum eigentümliche, weil von vornherein ausdrucksbedingte Erfahrungen möglich. Die Erfahrungen, die man mit dem sprachlichen Ausdruck in der fungierenden Rede, mit der fremden Sinnesäußerung im responsiven Verhalten, mit den erzählerischen Formen in der Reflexion auf die eigene Lebensgeschichte und im Umgang mit der Literatur macht, gehören wesenhaft zu den Untersuchungsgegenständen einer Phänomenologie, die sich nicht einfach als eine Beschreibung und Zergliederung der Erlebnisse versteht, sondern Anspruch darauf erhebt, als denkerischer Ausdruck der Erfahrung zu gelten. 404 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The book presents a novel socio-economic approach to analysing the - ergy system and energy consumption in India from a household persp- tive. In doing so, it views households as the ultimate end-consumers and estimates and analyses the direct and indirect energy requirements of household consumption, both at an aggregate national level as well as at a disaggregate household level. In addition, the work incorporates two c- cial aspects often ignored by many energy studies that are characteristic of most developing countries, namely the importance of non-commercial sources of biomass energy in the energy systems of these countries, and the enormous diversity and inequity in the patterns of energy access and use across households with different lifestyles and levels of well being. This work was initiated as part of my Ph.D. thesis at the Centre for - ergy Policy and Economics (CEPE) at the Swiss Federal Institute of Te- nology in Z urich (ETHZ ). The thesis was completed at the end of 2002.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 228 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Fluctuations in the environmental conditions impacting life are ubiquitous. These fluctuations induce changes in the vital processes occurring within individual organisms (such as cellular metabolism) and the ecological processes occurring among individuals (such as competition, mutualism, and predation), ultimately leading to observable fluctuations in the commonly measured characteristics of ecological systems. From a very simple perspective, these processes are all modulators of environmental variability. We might best be able to understand the final form of this modulation ¿ the impact of environmental variability on ecological systems - by building from an understanding of the responses of these life processes in isolation to an understanding of their responses in harmony. The impact of environmental variability on ecological systems is an issue that has been at the forefront of ecological research for many years. Research is taking place on many fronts, including theoretical mathematical based analyses, natural ecosystem observation and experimentation.This book brings together contributions from these three fronts to provide readers with a comprehensive look at the challenges for ecological systems and ecological research alike.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 248 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -In recent years major floods have occurred across Europe causing serious damages and huge financial implications. Flood risk and vulnerability is increasing with increased frequency of occurrence of extreme events due to climate change, changes in land-use, encroachment into floodplains and increasing economic value of assets and businesses. Human lives, property, environment and socio-economics are at increasing risk due to flooding. Recent alarming events in Central Europe, UK and The Netherlands have provided renewed impetus to the development of improved policies and techniques for flood risk management across Europe. Sharing of knowledge and understanding of the practical problems, dilemmas and challenges will aid in the development and implementation of new technologies and strategies of the challenging issues of flood risk management in Europe.This valuable edition brings together 26 peer reviewed articles on technical, socio-economic, environmental and policy aspects of flood risk management. These articles contribute to the five sections with the general themes: i) flood risk management practice, ii) flood events and impacts, iii) flood analysis and modelling iv) flood forecasting and v) flood risk management policy. Some emerging technologies are presented and several future challenges are identified. Thus the book Flood Risk Management in Europe: Innovation in Policy and Practice with a multi-disciplinary combination of articles will form an excellent reference for the engineers, scientists, planners, policy-makers, researchers, insurance industry and all the practitioners involved in flood risk management, and its sub-disciplines in engineering, hydrology, environmental studies, coastal management, economics and public policy.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 556 pp. Englisch.
