The must-read spin-off of best selling sci-fi masterpiece The Incal
follows the adventures of The Metabaron. This volume collects the
entire Second Cycle of The Metabarons in one paperback edition.
Collects all four volumes of The Metabaron for the first time. We
first met the Metabaron in the pages of The Incal, but their story
is so much bigger than their moments with John Difool... The
Metabarons chronicles the fascinating dynasty of the ultimate
warrior. This collection introduces the history of the Metabarons
and reveals the origins of their deep-seated principles, their vast
wealth, their cybernetic implants, and their most brutal custom:
that the only way for a son to become the next Metabaron is to slay
his own father in mortal combat. Follow generations of Metabarons
as they struggle to overcome the forces amassed against them in a
galaxy corrupted by greed, power, and terror.

This book provides an interdisciplinary overview of international
human rights issues, offering truly international coverage
including the Global South. Considering the philosophical
foundations of human rights, Chen and Renteln explore the
interpretive difficulties associated with identifying what
constitute human rights abuses, and evaluate various perspectives
on human rights. This book goes on to analyze institutions that
strive to promote and enforce human rights standards, including the
United Nations system, regional human rights bodies, and domestic
courts. It also discusses a wide variety of substantive human
rights including genocide, torture, capital punishment, and other
cruel and unusual punishments. In particular, the book offers an
accessible introduction to key understudied topics within human
rights, such as socioeconomic rights, cultural rights, and
environmental rights. It also focuses on the rights of marginalized
groups, including children's rights, rights of persons with
disabilities, women's rights, labor rights, indigenous rights, and
LGBTQ+ rights, making this an engaging and invaluable resource for
the contemporary student.
In Disrupting Boundaries in Education and Research, six educational
researchers explore together the potentialities of
transdisciplinary research that de-centres human behaviour and
gives materiality its due in the making of educational worlds. The
book presents accounts of what happens when researchers think and
act with new materiality and post-human theories to disrupt
boundaries such as self and other, human and non-human,
representation and objectivity. Each of the core chapters works
with different new materiality concepts to disrupt these boundaries
and to consider the emotive, sensory, nuanced, material and
technological aspects of learning in diverse settings, such as in
mathematics and learning to swim, discovering the bio-products of
'eco-sustainable' building, making videos and contending with
digital government and its alienating effects. When humans are no
longer at the centre of the unfolding world it is both disorienting
and exhilarating. This book is an invitation to continue along
these paths.
"Educating New Americans" examines what it means to be an American
through the history of a refugee from Laos. Shou Cha is a community
liaison for an elementary school, an evangelical preacher, a
community leader, a husband, and a father. His lifetime of
learning, presented mainly in his own voice, is framed by various
historical and sociological contexts that have shaped his life, the
lives of other Hmong refugees, and the lives of other Americans,
old and new. These contexts include the history of immigrant
education policies in the United States, as seen through the lives
of immigrant children; the historical and sociological impact of
warfare as well as missionary work in the lives of the Hmong
people; and the sociology of generational conflict, especially as
it is felt among immigrant groups. Finally, this book suggests that
immigrant parents such as Shou Cha can contribute to the process of
teaching peace to children, and making peace between diverse groups
in America, the land of "e pluribus unum."

Colouring brings the artist out in everyone-it's so easy and
welcoming. It's also very good for the mind. Meditation drawing
teacher Cher Kaufmann has seen the effects of colouring at work in
her classes. She provides students with patterns of mandalas and
other designs, some coloured pens, and watches everyone relax. With
each stroke of colour, body and thoughts drift into a calm place.
Recent studies attest to the power of drawing as well. Whether you
have always enjoyed drawing and colouring or are new to it, you'll
find yourself mesmerised by the beautiful pen-and-ink patterns in
this collection.
It's time to welcome back your inner child, who remembers doodling
with pen and pencil on every available surface. This book
encourages readers to pick up a pen again and have some fun. But
this isn't just a drawing, scribble or doodle book; it offers a
meditative journey to confidence and joy.
Lavender is calming and relaxing; lemon uplifting and stimulating.
But why do each of those scents provoke these particular, visceral
responses? In Nature's Essential Oils, licensed massage therapist
and aromatherapist Cher Kaufmann demystifies the how and why behind
the uses and effects of essential oils. She explains the
environmental factors that impact the chemical make-ups of herbs
and other plants, and how they trigger our physical and emotional
responses. The book includes recipes for blending oils for home and
health, as well as how to select, store, diffuse and apply oils. A
valuable resource for readers hoping to expand their knowledge of
essential oils and their properties, it also includes a glossary of
more than 30 of the most common essential oils for well-being.
This open access book compiles the research results of the
Collaborative Research Center SFB 837, which has been running since
2010 and will end in 2022, with the topic "Interaction Modeling in
Mechanized Tunneling". The Collaborative Research Center is funded
by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and is currently the
world's largest research facility in the field of tunneling. The
aim of the publication is to make our scientific findings
accessible to the international professional community. The
individual chapters deal with all subsystems relevant in mechanized
tunneling and their interaction. The latest results of digital
planning and real-time tunneling support have been included.
Reliability and Failure Analysis of High-Power LED Packaging
provides fundamental understanding of the reliability and failure
analysis of materials for high-power LED packaging, with the
ultimate goal of enabling new packaging materials. This book
describes the limitations of the present reliability standards in
determining the lifetime of high-power LEDs due to the lack of deep
understanding of the packaging materials and their interaction with
each other. Many new failure mechanisms are investigated and
presented with consideration of the different stresses imposed by
varying environmental conditions. The detailed failure mechanisms
are unique to this book and will provide insights for readers
regarding the possible failure mechanisms in high-power LEDs. The
authors also show the importance of simulation in understanding the
hidden failure mechanisms in LEDs. Along with simulation, the use
of various destructive and non-destructive tools such as C-SAM,
SEM, FTIR, Optical Microscopy, etc. in investigation of the causes
of LED failures are reviewed. The advancement of LEDs in the last
two decades has opened vast new applications for LEDs which also
has led to harsher stress conditions for high-power LEDs. Thus,
existing standards and reliability tests need to be revised to meet
the new demands for high-power LEDs.
Behind some of the most popular works of science fiction, fantasy,
and horror there are forgotten stories of female creators. It's no
secret that genres like science fiction, fantasy, horror, and more,
have evolved from niche interest to mainstream staple in the last
few decades. However, the countless women who have been
instrumental in creating and shaping those genres for the last
fifty-plus years have largely gone largely unrecognized -- until
now. Pop Culture Pioneers explores and pays respect to the work and
influence of the female creators who played a crucial role in
creating and influencing of some of the most famous worlds and
characters in pop culture from the early 70s through to 2010
including: * Creators like Bonnie Erickson (co-creator of Miss
Piggy), Christy Marx (Jem! And The Holograms creator), Roberta
Williams (creator of the adventure game genre), and Betty Cohen
(founder of Cartoon Network) * Writers & Editors like Jeanette
Khan (head of DC Comics), Alice Bradley Sheldon (writing as James
Tiptree Jr.) and Malia Scotch Marno (screenwriter for Jurassic Park
and Hook) * Animators & Artists like Vicky Jenson (animator and
director of Shrek) and Brenda Chapman (animator and director of
Brave) * Directors & Producers like Jean MacCurdy (producer of
Batman: The Animated Series and Animaniacs), Denise Di Novi
(co-producer of Batman Returns and The Nightmare Before Christmas),
and Fran Walsh (co-producer of the Lord of the Rings trilogy) * As
well as Yvonne Blake (costume designer for Superman), Marlene Clark
(Blaxploitation actress), Jane Feinberg (casting director for Blade
Runner, E.T., The Goonies, and Indiana Jones), and so many more!
Warum ein Mathebuch fur Biologen von Studenten fur
Studenten?
Wir wissen, was man an Mathe fur Bio wirklich fur die Prufungen
und die Bachelorarbeit braucht. Wir haben selbst Bio oder
Mathe/Physik studiert und hautnah erlebt, wie unglaublich beliebt
Mathe fur Biologen ist. Neben einer naturlichen Abneigung liegt es
oft daran, dass die Lehre selten anwendungsbezogen ist.
Wir haben uns bemuht, in einem Buch nur das aufzufuhren, was man
als Biologe wirklich benotigt und alles andere konsequent
wegzulassen. Es gibt standig Bezuge zu Publikationen aus den
modernen Biowissenschaften. Solche relevanten Beispiele werden euch
bestimmt hilfreich sein. Und das Beste: Das Buch ist garantiert
haschenfrei Wir rechnen nicht mit Hasenpopulationen sondern
aktuellen Beispielen wie z.B. Signalwegen.
Inhaltlich deckt das Buch den Stoff der ersten Mathevorlesungen
fur Biologen an den meisten Unis ab.
Falls ihr mehr wissen mochtet, findet ihr uns auch auf Facebook
