leichter als bei globalen Problemen, die fern von unserer EinfluBnahme zu liegen sehei nen. In unserer Zeit aber miissen wir lemen, globale Probleme zu unseren personliehen Problemen werden zu lassen, wenn wir und die uns naehfolgenden Generationen iiber leben wollen. Bezogen auf das Thema "Chemie und Umwelt" wollen wir dazu zwei Beispiele anfiihren. Die von der ehemisehen Industrie entwiekelten Sehaumstoffe haben angenehme Vor teile, sie dienen uns als Verpaekungsmaterial fUr den sieheren Transport empfindlieher WertgegensUinde, als leiehte aber stabile Formteile in vielen Bereiehen des alltagliehen Lebens, als Isoliermaterial in Kiihlaggregaten und als Warmedammungsmittel in der Bauindustrie. Auf der anderen Seite ist allgemein bekannt, daB gerade dieses leieh te Verpaekungsmaterial dazu beitragt, unseren Miillberg in unverantwortlieher Weise zu erhohen, und daB aus Sehaumstoffen noeh jahrelang die sogenannten Fluorehlor kohlenwasserstoffe als Gase entweiehen konnen, die zur Zerstorung der Ozonsehicht beitragen. Das zweite Beispiel betrifft den hohen Fleisehkonsum bei uns und in anderen Indu strielandem, der als Zeichen des verdienten Wohlstandes gilt. Abgesehen davon, daB er weit iiber unsere natiirliehen Bediirfnisse zur Deekung des EiweiBbedarfes hinaus geht, tragt er dazu bei, daB beispielsweise in Mittel- und Siidamerika Tropenwalder gerodet werden, urn Weideland fUr das fleisehproduzierende Vieh oder urn Aekerland zum Anbau von Viehfuttermittel zu gewinnen. Mit dem Versehwinden der tropisehen Regenwalder werden die Bodenerosion und der Treibhauseffekt dureh Erhohung der Kohlendioxidkonzentration in der Atmosphare gefOrdert. Bei uns im eigenen Land verursaeht die Giille aus der Massentierhaltung eine waehsende Belastung des Grund wassers dureh Nitrat und gefahrdet so unsere Trinkwasserversorgung."

Die seit der Mitte dieses Jahrhunderts zunehmende Intensivierung der landwirtschaftlichen Produktion ist von hohen Einsatzen an Dungemitteln sowie an Pflanzenschutzmitteln begleitet. Im Zusammenhang mit Dungemitteln kommt den stickstoffhaltigen Dungern eine besondere oekologische und oekonomische Bedeutung zu. Die unter den Pflanzennahrstoffen besondere Bedeutung des Stickstoffs be- grundet sich vor allem darauf, dass der pflanzliche Bedarf an diesem Nahr- stoff im Vergleich zu den ubrigen Nahrstoffen am hoechsten ist. Ausgangs- gesteine von Boeden weisen einen geringen Gehalt an Stickstoff auf, wes- halb in nicht anorganisch gedungten Boeden die Mineralisierung der orga- nischen Substanz die Hauptquelle fur die anorganischen Stickstofformen Ammonium und Nitrat darstellt. Der molekulare Stickstoff der Atmo- sphare wird Pflanzen nur uber symbiontisch sowie frei lebende, zur N - 2 Fixierung befahigte, Mikroorganismen zuganglich. Ein Grossteil des Energieeinsatzes der Landwirtschaft steht mit der Erzeugung von Stick- stoffdungern in Beziehung. Verluste an Stickstoff aus dem Boden durch Auswaschung oder Verfluchtigung sind deshalb nicht nur von wesentlicher oekologischer, sondern auch von oekonomischer Relevanz. Wesentliche For- schungsanstrengungen dienten der Entwicklung von Strategien zur Redu- zierung von Dungerstickstoffverlusten. Neben einem geeigneten Appli- kationsmodus sowie -zeitpunkt des Stickstoffdungers stehen Chemikalien im Mittelpunkt des Forschungsinteresses, vor allem solche zur Hemmung des harnstoffspaltenden Enzyms Urease sowie der Nitrifikation. Entspre- chende Strategien, die dabei eingesetzten Chemikalien und deren relative Effizienz werden ebenso wie - soweit untersucht - deren Nebenwirkungen auf andere biologische Parameter im ersten Kapitel behandelt.

Intervertebral disc degeneration is one of the major causes of lower back pain for which the common therapeutic interventions are not efficient. A search for alternative therapies for lower back pain and intervertebral disc degeneration includes cell-based therapies. Unfortunately, intervertebral disc degeneration is avascular and thus a hostile environment for cell survival. Furthermore, cellular characterization in intervertebral disc degeneration, and particularly in the nucleus pulposus, is controversial, mainly due to lack of specific markers and species variability. This book adds to the knowledge on cellular and molecular therapies for intervertebral disc degeneration and associated lower back pain. Key Selling Features: Describes the ontogeny and phenotype of intervertebral disc cells Reviews the role that inflammation plays in disco-genic pain Highlights the types of cells that might be used as sources for treating degenerating intervertebral discs Summarizes current alternative therapies Explores methods for cell delivery into degenerated intervertebral discs

Die Bedeutung der Hand liegt gewissermassen auf der Hand: Ohne dieses Wunderwerk an Prazision und Empfindsamkeit, an Kraft und Sanftheit, an Ausdrucksfahigkeit und Steuerbarkeit auszukommen, ware fur die meisten von uns kaum vorstellbar. So selbstverstandlich ist uns ihr Gebrauch und sind uns ihre Fahigkeiten, dass wir selten hinterfragen, wie die Hand eigentlich genau funktioniert und wo uberall in unserer Kultur, unserer Sprache und unserem sozialen Miteinander sie ihre Spuren hinterlassen hat. Das "Hand-Buch" geht diesen Fragen nach. Renommierte Autoren spannen dabei einen Bogen, der von der evolutionaren Entwicklung der Greifhand bis zum technischen Design von Roboterhanden, vom engen Zusammenhang von Hand und Gehirn bis zu den vielfaltigen Verbindungen zwischen Hand und Sprache, von musikalischen Fingerfertigkeiten bis zum Handlesen reicht. Biologie, Medizin und Philosophie reichen sich in diesem Buch die Hande, und die Faszination fur die Hand wird durch das handfeste Wissen, das es vermittelt, nur noch grosser. Zu den Autoren des Bandes zahlen renommierte Wissenschaftler aus verschiedenen natur- und geisteswissenschaftlichen Disziplinen, unter anderem Niels Birbaumer (Tubingen, Biopsychologie), E. Altenmuller (Hannover, Musikphysiologie), Helge Ritter (Bielefeld, Neuroinformatik), Bruno Preilowski (Tubingen, Hemispharenforschung), Friedhart Klix (Berlin, Evolutionspsychologie) und Peter Janich (Marburg, Philosophie)."

The present edition of The Human Central Nervous System differs considerably from its predecessors. In previous editions, the text was essentially confined to a section dealing with the various functional systems of the brain. This section, which has been rewritten and updated, is now preceded by 15 newly written chapters, which introduce the pictorial material of the gross anatomy, the blood vessels and meninges and the microstructure of its various parts and deal with the development, topography and functional anatomy of the spinal cord, the brain stem and the cerebellum, the diencephalon and the telencephalon. Great pains have been taken to cover the most recent concepts and data. As suggested by the front cover, there is a focus on the evolutionary development of the human brain. Throughout the text numerous correlations with neuropathology and clinical n- rology have been made. After much thought, we decided to replace the full Latin terminology, cherished in all previous editions, with English and Anglicized Latin terms. It has been an emotional farewell from beautiful terms such as decussatio hipposideriformis W- nekinkii and pontes grisei caudatolenticulares. Not only the text, but also the p- torial material has been extended and brought into harmony with the present state of knowledge. More than 230 new illustrations have been added and many others have been revised. The number of macroscopical sections through the brain has been extended considerably. Together, these illustrations now comprise a complete and convenient atlas for interpreting neuroimaging studies.
