MULE. Who created us? ROCINANTE. What kind of dumb question is
that? The great master Cervantes, of course. Who else? MULE. God.
ROCINANTE. Listen you obstinate fool. We're animals. We don't have
to believe in God. That's meant for the superior species. MULE. Why
did Cervantes create us? ROCINANTE. Because he was a genius. I
think he made me a bit like himself. But those who ride us were not
so lucky. Tariq Ali's latest play, The New Adventures of Don
Quixote, can be read as homage to German poet and playwright
Bertolt Brecht as much as a playful tribute to Cervantes's
masterwork. The central characters from the original novel, Don
Quixote and Sancho Panza, are mounted on their beasts of burden,
Rocinante and the Mule, and Ali has them ride into the twenty-first
century, where they are confronted by old vices familiar to them:
war, greed, ethnic and religious prejudices, disappointed love, and
economic crisis. Their story is satirical, and their songs are sad
and angry. But there are odd moments of happiness for Quixote, when
he imagines that a wounded US colonel is Dulcinea and allows
himself to be seduced by her in a military hospital in Germany.
Primarily interested in discovering the meaning of life and how it
is molded by the world in which we live, Ali's theatrical device is
the conversation between the two animals - Rocinante the
philosopher and Mule the everyman who questions her relentlessly.
Accompanied by numerous color performance stills of the play from
its 2013 production in Germany, this volume is as intellectually
stimulating as it is uproariously humorous.
Die Autoren betrachten in diesem Buch die Chancen erneuerbarer
Energietr ger auf dem Energiemarkt unter verschiedenen Aspekten.
Anhand von Beispielen wird u.a. das Potential erneuerbarer
Energietr ger im Verbund mit der konventionellen Energieversorgung
untersucht, es werden die damit verbundenen Kosten ausgewiesen
sowie daraus resultierende Arbeitsmarkteffekte analysiert. In
diesem Zusammenhang pl dieren die Autoren f r eine ausgewogenere
volkswirtschaftliche Betrachtungsweise, die nicht nur die mit einem
verst rkten Ausbau ressourcenschonender Energien verbundenen
positiven Arbeitsmarkteffekte ber cksichtigt, sondern die auch die
unvermeidbaren Nachfrager ckg nge in einzelnen Wirtschaftszweigen
in die energiepolitische Diskussion mit einbezieht. Auf der
Grundlage ihrer Studie geben die Autoren dar ber hinaus
Empfehlungen zum Ausbau erneuerbarer Energiesysteme, die an
Entscheidungstr ger aus Politik und Wirtschaft gerichtet sind.
Das Buch zeigt die Einsatzmoeglichkeiten primarenergiesparender und
erneuerbarer Energieumwandlungssysteme in der Industrie auf der
Grundlage wirtschaftlicher Gesichtspunkte auf. Dabei werden sowohl
die technischen Grundlagen und relevanten Kennzahlen eroertert als
auch oekologische und oekonomische Randbedingungen diskutiert.
Daruber hinaus werden die Zukunftsperspektiven der Energiesysteme
bewertet und Empfehlungen zu deren Einsatz in den verschiedenen
Industriebranchen gegeben. Eine abschliessende vergleichende
Bewertung sowie zahlreiche Tabellen und Illustrationen erleichtern
dem Leser den UEberblick und zeigen auf anschauliche Art und Weise
Alternativen bzw. Optimierungsmoeglichkeiten bereits bestehender
Anlagen.

This book addresses current and pertinent issues in adult,
community, and lifelong education and development presenting a
distinctive and timely focus on Africa. Drawing from a variety of
theoretical, methodological, and personal experiences from astute
researchers from different parts of the continent, this book
re-conceptualises adult, community and lifelong education from a
western perspective to a more Afrocentric and indigenous approach
to understanding and solving problems in the field. It attempts to
fill that gap by placing emphasis on the history of adult, lifelong
and community education, its organization and management, and the
philosophical and socioeconomic context within which adult,
community and lifelong education is provided. This edited book is a
comprehensive collection of cutting edge research and analyses of
various concepts in the field and offers in-depth explanations from
diverse viewpoints. For ease of reference, this book is organized
into 17 chapters with each chapter covering a topical issue in a
diverse, multifaceted field. All the chapters were subjected to a
rigorous review process. Firstly, by the editors before those that
met the initial pre-screening were sent to two other reviewers.
These steps were taken to ensure that the chapters were within the
scope of the book as well as meeting the set standards. The
submissions which did not meet the set standards and/or did not
fall within the scope of the book were rejected. The ones that were
recommended for inclusion by the reviewers were sent to the authors
to correct and resubmit. The corrected chapters from the authors
were put together as the manuscript which was submitted to an
accredited language editor for editing before finally submitting to
the publisher. The contributions are on five African countries with
all the contributors from Africa. Consequently, this book differs
from many publications about African countries written by
non-Africans." Although all the chapters focus on African
countries, the scholarly and rigorous discussion by the authors may
appeal to international audiences in the field of adult, lifelong
and community education.
