Der Kieler Erfinder Christian Kuhtz ist überzeugt, dass ein gutes Gewissen nicht käuflich zu erwerben ist, sondern sich erst durch geistig-körperliche Arbeit und eine gründliche Reflexion der industriellen Produktionsbedingungen einstellt. Sein Notizbuch ist ein Plädoyer für das »Abenteuer Selbermachen« und für ein Umweltbewusstsein abseits kapitalistischer Wegwerflogik und sogenannter »Öko-Technik«. Die abgebildeten Illustrationen und Erläuterungen sind Auszüge aus seiner innovativen Heftreihe »Einfälle statt Abfälle« und liefern Ideen für ein selbstversorgerisches Dasein. Von der Komposttoilette über das Windrad, die Töpferwerkstatt und Sonnenkollektoren bis hin zu selbstgenähten Schuhen, zeichnet Kuhtz seit Jahren inspirierende Anleitungen zum Nachbau in Selbsthilfe. Christian Kuhtz (*1958) lebt in Kiel; er ist Erfinder, Konstrukteur und Designer von ressourcenschonenden Energielösungen. Sprache: Deutsch/Englisch

The Invisible Bicycle brings together different insights into the social, cultural and economic history of the bicycle and cycling in historical eras of ubiquitous bicycle use that have remained relatively invisible in bicycle history. It revisits the typical timeline of cycling’s decline in the 1950s and 1960s and the renaissance beginning in the 1970s by bringing forth the large national and local variations, varying uses and images of the bicycle, and different bicycle cultures as well as their historical background and motivations. To understand the role, possibilities and challenges of the bicycle today, it is necessary to know the history that has formed them. Therefore The Invisible Bicycle is recommended also to present-day practitioners and planners of bicycle mobility. Contributors are: Peter Cox, Martin Emanuel, Tiina Männistö-Funk, Timo Myllyntaus, Nicholas Oddy, Harry Oosterhuis, William Steele, Manuel Stoffers, Sue-Yen Tjong Tjin Tai, Frank Veraart.

Genre: Medical
ISBN: 3756213188

With this volume of three essays, the authors want to create an opportunity for dialogue between different disciplines by taking a closer look at three cardio-physiological examples. In the essays presented, we will look at the exploration of different cardiological topics from the 20th century, all of which have contributed to a better understanding of certain aspects of cardiac activity. Not only do these insights provide a more complete picture of these cardiac phenomena, but it is also within this context that we can look for and into the patterns of regularities which govern this living organism. Our goal is to stimulate a dialogue on the philosophy of science in the spirit of Hans Reichenbach.

This comprehensive volume provides an authoritative treatment of three major areas of study in physical science: astronomy, physics, and chemistry. Students learn about astronomy’s origins in Egypt, the physical theories that emerged in ancient Greece, the influence of Ptolemy and Aristotle, and the discoveries of the scientific revolution, including Galileo’s telescopic explorations and scientists’ findings in mechanics and optics. Readers consider the impact of Newtonian theory, developments in electricity and magnetism, the Big-Bang model, evolution of stars and formation of chemical elements, radioactivity, quantum mechanics, black holes, and the identification of the Higgs boson by the Large Hadron Collider in 2013.
