Superhero action adventure based on the 1940s Marvel Comics series. Chris Evans stars as Steve Rogers, who volunteers for a top secret military research project after being deemed physically unfit to enlist in the U.S. Army during the Second World War. The experiment transforms him into super-soldier Captain America, who - along with sidekick Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) - takes on the mighty power of Hitler's henchman Red Skull (Hugo Weaving).

Action adventure sequel which sees Chris Hemsworth reprise his role as the Marvel Comics superhero Thor, based on the mythical Norse God of Thunder.

Earth and the Nine Realms come under attack from the powerful Malekith and his age-old army that have existed since even before the creation of the universe. With the enemy proving near impossible to defeat, Thor approaches his adoptive brother Loki for help, despite his villainous past.

Meanwhile, the hero becomes reacquainted with the woman he loves, astrophysicist Jane Foster, and takes her to Asgard in an attempt to protect her from harm.

The relationships between humans and aquatic mammals in the Neotropics has been important since archaic times in the American continent, but also varied across time and space, a fact taken on by this publication. In this book, the chapters were written by experts in the field of zooarchaeology, environmental archaeology and conservation biology and different lines of evidence and research questions are used to offer an archaeological approach to these long term relationships. One of the aims of this book is to discuss research questions, methodologies and results pursued and obtained across the different Neotropical regions. The range of variations in the zooarchaeological evidences that result from the aquatic mammal exploitation across time and space still cannot be clearly defined, and the book's chapters show clearly that different archaeological expectations on this matter seem to be linked to the ecological properties and internal subdivisions of the Neotropical region. Thus, the book leads the reader to consider the different ways humans impacted on aquatic mammal populations in both, the prehistoric and historic past. For that reason, we believe that the archeological data can contribute to deepen the knowledge about the natural history of the Neotropical aquatic mammals, eventually even helping to evaluate the ecological status of aquatic mammals in different areas of this region.

Die Wiederentdeckung des klassischen Tugendbegriffs in jungerer Zeit hat gezeigt, dass das sittliche Gute mit rein deontologischen oder utilitaristischen Kategorien nicht adaquat beschreibbar ist, sondern ein Verstandnis des im Menschen angelegten Seinkonnens und seiner naturlichen Anlagen voraussetzt. Dem wissenschaftlichen Diskurs fehlt jedoch weitgehend die Thematisierung der Frage, wie die gegenseitige Zuordnung der menschlichen Handlungsprinzipien (Vernunft, Wille, Affekte etc.) genau zu denken ist. Haufig entsteht der Eindruck von parallel geordneten Vermogen, die in der sittlichen Handlung auf nicht naher geklarte Weise zusammenwirken. Gerade ein tugendethischer Ansatz bedarf aber einer plausiblen Konzeption, wie die einzelnen Tatigkeitsprinzipien als Komponenten eines einzigen Subjekts ineinander greifen. Das vorliegende Buch untersucht diese Grenzfrage zwischen Anthropologie und Ethik anhand der Lehre des Thomas von Aquin, dessen anthropologisches Grundverstandnis ein hilfreiches Modell bietet, um die Einheit des sittlichen Subjekts bei gleichzeitiger Vielheit seiner Handlungsvermogen verstandlich zu machen.
