People generally think they understand the environment and how humans use natural resources, but these ideas are often understood only superficially. Instead of thinking, I should turn off the light, we should be asking, "Why should I turn off the light?” Using case studies and defining key concepts, Environmental Geography explains exactly how individuals and society as a whole impact the earth. A flick of a light switch affects the demand for electricity, which is then related to sources of energy, policies about renewable energy sources, and ultimately environmental degradation and climate change. Likewise, a person’s decision to eat a cheeseburger versus a salad also affects the earth, though most of us don’t think about how our daily choices impact the earth. Leslie A. Duram provides meaningful examples from around the world that demonstrate both the devastating impacts that humans have on the environment and the increasing awareness of these consequences that is bringing hope for a more sustainable future. Likewise, she examines the widening rift of economic inequality, with examples of how poorer people are significantly more vulnerable than richer people to natural disasters such as floods, droughts, and the effects of climate change. Environmental Geography provides concrete information that shows readers how they can learn, advocate, and take action to bring about a more sustainable future.

When a customer, employee, or investor is faced with a choice of companies amidst a sea of competitors, they increasingly consider how responsible that organization is. Customers want to buy ethical and sustainable; employees want to feel a sense of purpose at work, and investors need reassurance that their investments are good for the long term. To be competitive and valuable to society, firms need to develop an organizational conscience that drives key strategic decisions and spurs sustainable and responsible innovation. Written during the global pandemic, when Covid-19 forced companies to demonstrate what they actually do when society needs them most, the authors argue that organizations need to think critically about their role and to use their conscience to guide actions. With plenty of concrete suggestions based on substantive research, the book shows how firms can reconcile the competing interests of stakeholders, create an organization that is fair, open and transparent and do the right thing while building a profitable business.With international case studies featuring multinational companies as well as small firms, this book explains how firms can make the transition to becoming conscientious.

Frieden schaffen - aber wie? Kaum eine Frage ist gegenwärtig so drängend und gleichzeitig so umstritten. Mit Waffen oder doch ohne? Mit Verhandlungen oder durch einen Sieg? Und wie kann man wissen, ob es sich um einen Frieden handelt, oder bloß um eine taktische Atempause? Jörn Leonhard blickt zurück in die Kriege der Vergangenheit, die alle irgendwann und irgendwie zuende gingen, und fragt, was sich aus ihnen für unsere Gegenwart lernen lässt. Geschichte wiederholt sich nicht. Man kann daher nicht einfach Lösungen der Vergangenheit auf die Gegenwart übertragen. Aber die Geschichte bietet eben doch ein unverzichtbares Reservoir an politischem Anschauungsmaterial. Sie zeigt, welche Konstellationen zu welchen Ergebnissen geführt haben und sie offenbart Muster ebenso wie wiederkehrende Probleme. Wer sich fragt, wie der Krieg in der Ukraine enden könnte, der sollte sich dieses Reservoirs bedienen. Denn kaum etwas gab es in der Weltgeschichte so häufig wie Kriege. Was veranlasste Akteure dazu, Kriege fortzusetzen? Wodurch öffnete sich das Fenster für Diplomatie? Was machte einen Frieden dauerhaft und was brüchig? Und warum war meistens gerade die Endphase von Kriegen besonders blutig? Die meisten Wege in den Frieden waren verschlungen, wurden immer wieder verzögert und unterbrochen. Je länger ein Krieg dauert, je mehr Opfer er über Monate und Jahre anhäuft, desto unübersichtlicher und widersprüchlicher verläuft dieser Weg. Und selbst wenn ein Vertrag unterschrieben ist: Die eigentliche Arbeit am Frieden beginnt immer erst danach.

This book is a study of the workings of dynamic loudspeakers and dynamically forced vibration. With its wealth of practical observations and real-life examples, this work will prove invaluable to the practicing motor design or loudspeaker design engineer, as well as researchers and students in electroacoustics.The book is based on a lifetime's accumulated knowledge by acclaimed speaker designer William H. (Bill) Watkins. It differs from the usual tone of most technical books on this subject by initially presenting, and analyzing in full, the function of each key parameter of a reference dynamic loudspeaker. Each parameter's value is then calculated and also confirmed via lab measurements to vividly illustrate all energy-transduction facets of loudspeaker operation and the forced vibration. This presentation style makes the analysis both more engaging, intuitive, and easier to comprehend compared to most previous works in the field.The principles of this book apply to all direct reciprocating motors, not just those in a dynamic loudspeaker. Unique to the book is an entire chapter dedicated to the discussion of back-EMF voltage, discussed from several technical points of view and analyzed in depth as related to the dynamic transfer of energy between the mechanical and electrical domains. Another unique feature is a detailed discussion of Watkins' patented dual-motor concept to achieve high dynamic speaker performance in the region of its low-frequency resonance.

A narrative chronicle of Israeli democracy that defines historic phases and follows thematic challenges to democracy, including: competition between religion and the rule of law; the statist society and chaotic minoritocracy; modern illiberal populism and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The comprehensive portrait exposes endemic flaws of democracy in Israel, but also shows that Israel has considerable capacity - and responsibility - to fulfill the promise of democracy.

The Anthropocene is the "age of human influence", an epoch well known for its urban impact. More than half of all people already live in cities, and this proportion is expected to rise to almost 70 percent by 2050. Like other species in urban areas, bats must contend with the pressures of profound and irreversible land cover change and overcome certain unique challenges, such as the high density of roads, lights, glass, and free-ranging domestic animals. Research on urban bats in recent decades indicates that when it comes to urban life, some bats are synanthropes. In other words, although most species of bats are negatively impacted by urbanisation, many appear to not only succeed, but also thrive in cities and towns. This observation has inspired interesting questions about bats in relation to urbanisation. Which traits and behaviours equip bats for urban success? What features of urban areas increase the likelihood that bats will successfully persist there or even colonize new areas? And how does the success of urban bats affect co-habiting humans?Our book explores the interactions between bats and urban environments through case studies and reviews. Understanding how different species interact with urban environments can reveal potential opportunities to mitigate urban threats to bats and threats posed by bats to other urban organisms, including humans. With this book, we thus aspire to provide a knowledge base to help guide current and future efforts to conserve bats.

Award-winning playwright, screenwriter, and director David Mamet shares his "smart, addictive, hilarious, and insightful” (Breitbart) tales from his four decades in Hollywood where he worked with some of the biggest names in movies.David Mamet went to Hollywood on top—a super successful playwright summoned west in 1980 to write a vehicle for Jack Nicholson. He arrived just in time to meet the luminaries of old Hollywood and revel in the friendship of giants like Paul Newman, Mike Nichols, Bob Evans, and Sue Mengers. Over the next forty years, Mamet wrote dozens of scripts, was fired off dozens of movies, and directed eleven himself. In Everywhere an Oink Oink, he revels of the taut and gag-filled professionalism of the film set. He depicts the ever-fickle studios and producers who piece by piece eat the artists alive. And he ponders the art of filmmaking and the genius of those who made our finest movies. With the bravado and flair of Mamet’s best theatrical work, this memoir describes a world gone by, some of our most beloved film stars with their hair down, and how it all got washed away by digital media and the woke brigade. The book is illustrated throughout with three-dozen of Mamet’s pungent cartoons and caricatures. Everywhere an Oink Oink is "nothing but wicked jokes, angry broadsides, and pointed gossip: in other words, the ideal Hollywood book” (The Wall Street Journal).

This book, now in an extensively revised second edition, is a practical, user-friendly guide to the clinical diagnosis and treatment of the oral mucosal and intraosseous lesions most frequently encountered in pediatric patients. For each entity, a characteristic clinical photograph is provided, the clinical appearance is concisely described, and guidance is offered on differential diagnosis and treatment options. Oral indications of systemic diseases are addressed in a separate section, and mucosal indicators of drug use, sexual abuse, and eating disorders are also identified. The book includes new chapters on cysts and psuedocysts, odontogenic tumors, non-odontogenic lesions and osseous manifestations of systemic diseases.Oral lesions are a relatively common occurrence in the pediatric population. Fortunately, most of these lesions are transient and can be diagnosed clinically; examples include aphthous ulcers, traumatic ulcers, and lesions of infectious etiology such as viral lesions and candidiasis. There are also a number of mucosal lesions, such as mucoceles and viral papillomas, that require biopsy for diagnosis and/or surgical excision for treatment. This book will assist the practitioner in diagnosing and treating both transient and persistent mucosal lesions.

Zu den vielen Irrtümern, die der Mathematik entgegengehalten werden, zählt der Vorwurf, sie sei in einer Weise fertig, die jede Art von eigenem Nachdenken, von eigener Initiative sinnlos werden lasse. "Bei der Interpretation eines Gedichtes fällt mir viel mehr ein als bei der Interpretation eines mathematischen Beweises", heißt es. Frage: Gibt es bei der Interpretation eines Gedichtes weniger Regeln zu beachten als bei der Interpretation eines Beweises? Ich denke, so mancher junge Mensch wird von dem, was der Deutschlehrer zu einer solchen Haltung meint, enttäuscht sein. Eines der Ziele des vorliegenden Buches ist jenes, zu zeigen, dass Mathematik keineswegs etwas Fertiges ist, dass es immer wieder Neues zu entdecken gibt - man muss sich vielleicht nur etwas mehr bemühen.

Paul Kaym was a mystic and a close friend of Jacob Boehme. The work is a devotional compilation, exploring Man's relationship to God through the emblem of a heart. The text related to each emblem is divided into three sections. The first part summarises the ideas presented in the emblems. This is followed by Biblical quotations which serve to illuminate the emblematic imagery, and a third section in verse, probably written by Kaym. The author's intention seems to be to lead us as readers on a journey towards a spiritual closeness to the Divine through internalising this image of the transformed heart. The spirituality here is not so elevated and abstract as that presented in the works of Boehme, but a simpler, and perhaps more immediate pietistic work. The imagery of the emblems is rather engaging and charming, and illustrates in a simple way the message of the work. The book presents the shining light that is mirrored in the heart as it journeys from its earthly bonds towards the freedom of the spirit. Sadly this book was never well circulated and is now almost competely unknown. It would be good to have translated the text, but this was not possible. Instead Adam McLean coloured the rather dark engravings so that their symbolic components can be the more easily seen and provided a descriptive commentary.

Ein Buch für Zeiten großer Herausforderungen: Humor ist, wenn man trotzdem lacht.Bei Umberto Eco heißt es, das Lachen sei die »Kunst der Vernichtung von Angst«. Darum ist der Humor vielen Angstmachern ein Dorn im Auge. Der Humor hilft uns, zu unseren Meinungen auf Distanz zu gehen und sie infrage zu stellen. Er ist also nicht nur eine Waffe gegen jede Art von Fanatismus, sondern auch eine Grundvoraussetzung für Offenheit und freie Meinungsbildung.In »Trotzdem lachen« unternimmt Yves Bossart eine erhellende philosophische Tour durch die Welt des Humors. Warum lachen wir überhaupt, was geschieht mit Geist und Körper, wenn wir etwas komisch finden? Ist Humor nur eine Frage des Geschmacks, hat er ethische Grenzen - und welche Gedanken haben sich Platon, Nietzsche und Kant zu diesem urmenschlichen Phänomen gemacht? Ein Buch für Zeiten großer Herausforderungen: Humor ist, wenn man trotzdem lacht.

How the computer revolution shaped our conception of rationality—and why human problems require solutions rooted in human intuition, morality, and judgmentIn the 1940s, mathematicians set out to design computers that could act as ideal rational agents in the face of uncertainty. The Irrational Decision tells the story of how they settled on a peculiar mathematical definition of rationality in which every decision is a statistical question of risk. Benjamin Recht traces how this quantitative standard came to define our understanding of rationality, looking at the history of optimization, game theory, statistical testing, and machine learning. He explains why, now more than ever, we need to resist efforts by powerful tech interests to drive public policy and essentially rule our lives. While mathematical rationality has proven valuable in accelerating computers, regulating pharmaceuticals, and deploying electronic commerce, it fails to solve messy human problems and has given rise to a view of a rational world that is not only overquantified but surprisingly limited. Recht shows how these mathematical methods emerged from wartime research and influenced fields ranging from economics to health care, drawing on illuminating examples ranging from diet planning to chess to self-driving cars. Highlighting both the power and limitations of mathematical rationality, The Irrational Decision reveals why only humans can resolve fundamentally political or value-based questions and proposes a more expansive approach to decision making that is appropriately supported by computational tools yet firmly rooted in human intuition, morality, and judgment.

The book serves as a supplementary compendium to "Applied Nuclear Data, Volume 1 - Radionuclide Handbook."It presents a separate, comprehensive list of energies and isotopes covering as many radioisotopes as possible, based on the Radionuclide Handbook, which includes approximately 290 radioisotopes. The compilation includes all decay energies as well as energies modified through interactions with the detec-tor. Additionally, it provides information on half-lives, intensities (including those relevant to decay sys-tems in parent/daughter equilibrium), and gamma lines affected by escape processes such as Single Es-cape, Double Escape, and X-ray Escape (SE/DE/XE).The dataset also accounts for energies influenced by coincidence decays or random temporal events, such as Coincidence Summing and Random Summing (CS/RS). Furthermore, it includes details on parent and daughter nuclides, primary production pathways, and many other useful parameters to support practical applications and research.Energy - Gamma- transitions- X-rays: K 1, K 2, Kbeta1-Kbeta3, L- Escape and Sum Energies - Bold face: leading Gamma-energies- In keVIntensity - Absolute & in equilibrium- Exited states, e.g., 1. exc. to 0.- In %Half-Live- Parent/daughter nucleus- Absolute & in equilibrium- Inclusive stable isotopes- In y, d, h, m, s, ms, µsRadio-Isotopes- Parent/daughter nucleus- Induced radiation- Short name- X-rays, DE/SE/XE, CS/RS - Excited isotopesDecay Information - Decay modes of parent nuclei- Decay to daughter nuclei- Production of parent nuclei- Decay chains of mother nuclei- Absolute, equilibrium, reference, ... - Particle n, p, µ, ... interaction- SE/DE/XE & CS/RS observation- Line broadening (Li-7)- Asymmetric peaks: Ge lattice recoil
