Overview: "Following Vattimo‘s postmodern philosophy, Badiou‘s postmetaphysical ontology, and i ek‘s revolutionary style, the authors of this marvelous book invites us to reactivate our politics of resistance against our greatest enemy: corporate capitalism. The best solution to the ecological, energy, and financial crisis corporate capitalism has created, as Crockett Clayton and Jeffrey Robbins suggest, is a new theological materialism where Being is conceived as energy both subjectively and objectively.

Overview: Reflection on religion inevitably involves consideration of its relation to morality. When great evil is done to human beings, we may feel that something absolute has been violated. Can that sense, which is related to gratitude for existence, be expressed without religious concepts? Can we express central religious concerns, such as losing the self, while abandoning any religious metaphysic? Is moral obligation itself dependent on divine commands if it is to be objective, or is morality not only independent of religion, but its accuser if God is said to allow horrendous evils? In any

Overview: Einführung in den ReisejournalismusReisejournalismus -das ist ein alles andere als gesicherter Begriff. Ein Blick in die verfügbare deutschsprachige Literatur bestätigt, daß es wenig fundierte Informationen zum Thema gibt. Teils wohl, weil die Reiseberichterstattung als redaktionelle Aufgabe nicht gerade höchste Achtung genießt. Wenn man die Rahmenbedingungen mancher gesponsorter Reportagen bedenkt, sicher­ lich zu Recht. Andererseits, die Tourismusbranche boomt, die Umsätze der Veranstalter steigen. Ebenso steigt das Bedürfnis nach den kleinen Fluchten aus dem Alltag und sei es auch

Overview: This book is open access, which means that you have free and unlimited access.Develops an original thesis of Victorian secularisation.Demonstrates how to trace the mediation of secular time in modern .This open access book draws on conceptual resources ranging from medieval scholasticism to postmodern theory to propose a new understanding of secular time and its mediation in nineteenth-century technological networks.

Overview: Recent results in laminar-turbulent transition.Includes supplementary material: Methodic investigations of laminar-turbulent transition in wall-bounded she­ ar flows under controlled conditions are essential for untangling the various complex phenomena of the transition process occurring in flows at practical conditions. They allow understanding of the instability processes of the la­ minar flow, and thus enable the development of tools for flow control. On the one hand the laminar flow regime can be extended by delaying transition to reduce viscous drag, and on the other hand large-

Overview: This new se ries is concerned with intercellular communication and recognition. It is now widely appreciated that these processes playa crucial role in virtually all biological systems and functions. These encompass fertilisation, embryonic development, infectious interactions, the activity of the nervous system, the regulation of growth and develop­ ment by hormones and the immune response to foreign or ‘non-self antigens. Historically as described in the first review in this volume, the general concept of cell-associated receptors as the molecular entity primarily responsible for t

Overview: Argues that nineteenth-century radicals transformed politics and history by playing fast and loose with the literature of the Romantic period.Redirects attention from the figure of the author to the .This book shows that the publishers and editors of the radical press deployed Romantic-era texts for their own political ends—and for their largely working-class readership—long after those works’ original publication.
