This book contains selected papers presented at the "International
Annual Conference of the German Operations Research Society
(OR2012)" which was held September 4 -7, 2012 at the Leibniz
Universitat Hannover, Germany. The international conference, which
also serves as the annual meeting of the German Operations Research
Society (GOR), attracted more than 500 participants from more than
39 countries. Special attention at the conference was given to the
three topics "Energy, Markets and Mobility". The OR2012 conference
has addressed these topics from an OR perspective, treating them
not only in isolation, but also with respect to their numerous and
exciting interconnections, such as new energy for new mobility
concepts and new market mechanisms for sustainable energy
production to name but a few. The proceedings show that this
conference topic is an important and promising area to apply
Operations Research. The book also contains numerous papers
addressing the full scope of fields in Operations Research.
Presented at the Workshop on the Origin and Furure of Social
Security Schemes, Berlin, December 13 - 14, 1984
In 1924 at Koberwitz, the estate of Count and Countess Keyserlingk,
Rudolf Steiner gave a key course of lectures on agriculture. At a
time when industrial methods were being introduced into farming,
Steiner had a radically different, evolutionary, vision. Based on a
revitalized relationship with nature, his approach encompassed
knowledge of the cosmos, the elemental world and the earth, and
utilized special planting methods and preparations. Today his
biodynamic agriculture is widely valued and used around the world.
In addition to the lively and entertaining accounts of the
agriculture course held at Koberwitz, this extraordinary book
features Countess Keyserlingk's memories of her meetings with
Rudolf Steiner. Steiner told the Countess that she had a
consciousness which would be usual 'in the third millennium', and
her reminiscences reflect this uncommon quality! Also included are
essays by the editor which incorporate rare material such as the
communications received by Countess Keyserlingk after Steiner's
death. This book will be of interest to students of biodynamics as
well as those interested in how Rudolf Steiner worked to develop
anthroposophy. It is compiled and edited by Adalbert Graf von
Keyserlingk, the son of the Count and Countess who hosted the
Koberwitz conference.

Gran Paradiso National Park is Italy’s oldest, and was
instrumental in preventing the extinction of the Alpine ibex
between World War I and just after World War II. Today, there are
more than 30,000 ibex living in the Alps, all of which descended
from that last colony protected in Gran Paradiso under
Mussolini’s rule. Wilko Graf von Hardenberg merges the history of
conservation with the area’s social history and Italy’s larger
political history to produce a multifaceted narrative about the
park as an institution, the conflicts it triggered, and practices
adopted to manage the ibex despite hurdles placed by the fascist
regime. The book’s central argument is that, in fascist Italy,
preservation - propaganda notwithstanding - was a product of the
regime’s continuities with the previous liberal system. Italy’s
total fascist transformation, accomplished only more than a decade
after Mussolini took power, virtually unmade the early successes of
preservation set in place by the nascent “nature state” in the
regime’s early years. Despite this conflict, conservationists
succeeded in preserving the ibex. Hardenberg positions this success
within the broader history of science, conservation, and tourism in
fascist Italy and the Alpine region, creating a comprehensive
historical background and comparative reference to ongoing debates
about the role of nature conservation in general and in relation to
the state and its agencies.
