A very complete survey of different approaches adopted by Eastern and Western countries for the disposal of surplus ammunition. Incineration and other techniques for the disposal of high explosives, gun and rocket propellants are introduced and discussed in relation to environmental and safety requirements. Proposals for and examples of the re-use of military explosives in commercial applications are given. Topics discussed range from the conversion of energetic systems into chemical raw materials to the new development of energetic systems with special features for commercial use (such as producing artificial diamonds by detonation, self-propagating high-temperature synthesis, fire extinguishing, etc.).

Ulrich H. Krause entwickelt theoretisch begrundete und durch empirische Studien untermauerte Handlungsempfehlungen fur die unternehmerische Praxis, wobei er personalpolitische und arbeitsrechtliche Aspekte berucksichtigt."

Wie kann das von wissenschaftlichen Instituten produzierte Wissen in die Entscheidungen und Arbeitsweisen anderer Systeme wirksam eingebracht werden? Welcher Stellenwert kommt in einer Gesellschaft, deren Probleme in wachsendem Masse hochspezialisierte Organisationen bearbeiten, der Qualifizierung und Aufklarung von Personen zu? Was bedeutet es, wissenschaftliche Arbeit als Intervention in soziale Systeme zu begreifen? Dieser Band beschreibt die Konzepte, Ideen und Methoden, die das IFF verwendet, um diesen Herausforderungen zu begegnen. Die UEberlegungen stammen aus den Erfahrungen in den Arbeitsgebieten des IFF: OEkologie, Schulentwicklung, Organisationsentwicklung des Gesundheitswesens und Reform der Universitat. Das Buch soll Wissenschaftler, Fuhrungskrafte und Professionelle zum fachlichen Diskurs, aber auch zu organisatorischer Selbstreflexion anregen.

A wide range of transatlantic contributors addresses Berlin as a global focal point of the Cold War, and also assess the geopolitical peculiarity of the city and how citizens dealt with it in everyday life. They explore not just the implications of division, but also the continuing entanglements and mutual perceptions which resulted from Berlin’s unique status. An essential contribution to the study of Berlin in the 20th century, and the effects - global and local - of the Cold War on a city.

Families and parents have the most central and enduring influence on children's lives. Parenthood is not instinctive, but is rather an evolutionary procedure throughout the child's life-course. This book looks at the pattern of family structures, which has evolved as a result of social, cultural and economic changes. An overview of parental monitoring and the development of two new retrospective monitoring scales is examined. This book also focuses on certain parenting styles, stressors, and practices which promote positive and negative child behaviours. The goodness-of-fit concept is emphasised, which concentrates specifically on how a poor fit between the temperament behaviours of infants and young children and parents' expectations and parenting skills can stress and challenges the parent-child relationship and potentially lead to poor child outcomes. Among other issues, this book addresses the relations of maternal emotional availability with infant smiling and crying, the importance of measuring parental brain and physiological systems, the effect of working class mothers on their emotional availability to their children, and the variety of patterns that a parent must adopt in daily life to cope with situations of conflict to promote processes of emotional and social adaptation in their children.

This book is devoted to recent research on animal behaviour which relates to what an animal does and why it does it. The types of behaviours exhibited are rich and various. Some are genetically determined, or instinctive, while others are learned behaviours. The desire to understand the animal world has made ethology a rapidly growing field, and since the turn of the 21st century, many prior understandings related to diverse fields such as animal communication, personal symbolic name use, animal emotions, animal culture and learning, and even sexual conduct, long thought to be well understood, have been revolutionised
