New Developments in Polymer Analytics II (Hardcover, 2000 ed.): W Koehler New Developments in Polymer Analytics II (Hardcover, 2000 ed.)

R4,345 Discovery Miles 43 450 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The two volumes "New Developments in Polymer Analytics" deal with recent progress in the characterization of polymers, mostly in solution but also at s- faces. Despite the fact that almost all of the described techniques are getting on in years, the contributions are expected to meet the readers interest because either the methods are newly applied to polymers or the instrumentation has achieved a major breakthrough leading to an enhanced utilizaton by polymer scientists. The first volume concentrates on separation techniques. H. Pasch summarizes the recent successes of multi-dimensional chromatography in the characteri- tion of copolymers. Both, chain length distribution and the compositional h- erogeneity of copolymers are accessible. Capillary electrophoresis is widely and successfully utilized for the characterization of biopolymers, particular of DNA. It is only recently that the technique has been applied to the characterization of water soluble synthetic macromolecules. This contributrion of Grosche and Engelhardt focuses on the analysis of polyelectrolytes by capillary electopho- sis. The last contribution of the first volume by Coelfen and Antonietti sum- rizes the achievements and pitfalls of field flow fractionation techniques. The major drawbacks in the instrumentation have been overcome in recent years and the"triple F techniques" are currently advancing to a powerful competitor to size exclusion chromatography.

Thinkers, Saints, Heretics - Spiritual Paths of the Middle Ages (Paperback): Virginia Sease, Manfred Schmidt-Brabant Thinkers, Saints, Heretics - Spiritual Paths of the Middle Ages (Paperback)
Virginia Sease, Manfred Schmidt-Brabant; Translated by Marguerite V. Miller, Douglous Miller
R481 Discovery Miles 4 810 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

'Whether souls have returned in physical incarnations as Platonists, as Aristotelians, as pupils of Chartres, as members of the Dominican Order, as Templars, as Cathars, or whether these souls accompany us as spiritual beings, a stream of spiritual continuity that begins in the Middle Ages flows through human history.'- Manfred Schmidt-Brabant. Why do people today look back to the Middle Ages with such interest? Do those times have anything to do with the present? In this enlightening series of lectures, Manfred Schmidt-Brabant and Virginia Sease suggest that our sense of selfhood depends on whether we can create a true relationship to the present age. But to do this we need to understand the spiritual roots of our time. These roots, they indicate, are present in the Middle Ages.The impulses that originate from that time continue to stream into modern times, helping to determine our thinking, feeling and actions. Even the biography of Europe is largely determined by what people of the Middle Ages thought, endured, believed and fought over. All of this emerges today in the consciousness of the individual and in the fabric of our communities. To aid our comprehension of this critical period, the authors embark on a broad historical survey of the culture and history - both exoteric and esoteric - of the Middle Ages. Their journey takes in King Arthur and the Celtic Mysteries; Francis of Assisi, the Franciscans and the School of Chartres; Thomas Aquinas, Averroes and the Dominicans; Cabbala and Jewish Mysticism; heretics and the Cathars; Templar secrets; spiritual Alchemy and Gothic architecture; Columbus and the Mysteries of America; and, the Consciousness Soul and the historical Figure of Faust.

In ancient times, people's experience of the divine was imbued with the feminine archetype. The world of spirit was seen to be populated by goddesses, and women were honoured as priestesses and guardians of sacred rites. The later Greek and Roman civilizations, in contrast, were characterized by the principle of patriarchy, which still dominates our culture - despite the political and social emancipation of women in the West. This unique study of the feminine archetype throws new light on the spiritual significance and meaning of the feminine principle today, as well as its task and destiny in the future. Beginning with Eve in tradition and legend, the authors provide insightful commentaries on the Queen of Sheba, the image of the Virgin in esoteric Christianity, Isis-Sophia and the Great Mother, the birth of art from the primal source of the feminine, and the importance of women in modern esotericism. Through a study of the esoteric background to human and earth evolution, Sease and Schmidt-Brabant arrive at clear and accessible perspectives that could transform human life, and in particular family culture, in our time.

'Christianity is not a matter of a religion or even a denomination; it is not a question of a particular culture. Christ is there for all humanity.' In the old Mystery cultures the human being experienced himself as a child of the Gods, or even an instrument of them. According to Rudolf Steiner's spiritual-scientific research, the birth of independent thinking came only with our present state of consciousness - through becoming aware of the individual self. But who is this self? Who am I? Virginia Sease and Manfred Schmidt-Brabant maintain that real self-knowledge is intimately connected with knowledge of the central being of world evolution: the Christ, or the 'I AM'. Focusing on the being of Christ and on Christianity, "The New Mysteries" presents a series of engaging lectures on the developing Mystery wisdom of our age. Having given an overview of the history of the Mysteries in their book "Paths of the Christian Mysteries", the authors deepen and further their study by paying special attention to the effect of the "Christ Mysteries". Among the essential themes of the new volume are the transformation of conscience, the place of prayer and meditation, and the significance of sacrifice today.

Over the past decades there has been an upsurge of interest in 'the Camino', the pilgrim's route to Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain. But where does this fascination in the spiritual exploration of the Middle Ages come from, and what is its significance? Rudolf Steiner stated that people have a need to live not only with external history but also with the esoteric, hidden narrative that lies behind it. Now, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, it is increasingly necessary for us to live consciously with this veiled history of humanity's search for communion with the divine world. It is within this context that the Camino's historic importance is re-echoed in many souls today. Based on lifelong research and contemplation, Paths of the Christian Mysteries presents a survey of extraordinary breadth and depth, taking us from the cosmic origin of the Grail Mysteries to the supersensible Michael Cultus and the Being Anthroposophia. The intervening chapters present studies of the School of Athens, early Christian art and its Gnostic impulses, the Grail Initiation in northern Spain, the role of the Cathars and Troubadours in the Manichaean stream, the Camino to Santiago de Compostela and the esoteric aspect of music for the pilgrims, the Music of the Spheres and the Elders of the Apocalypse, the Templars as emissaries of the Holy Grail, the initiations of Christian Rosenkreutz and his relation to anthroposophical art, and the early Rosicrucian impulses in America and Europe.

R264 Discovery Miles 2 640 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Will homemaking ever again be seen as an important role in modern society? Can it become a real career? In recent years the role of homemaking has been somewhat derided and diminished in relation to careers outside the home. Furthermore, women are urged to return to the workplace as quickly as possible following childbirth. Homemaking is not generally viewed as real work, while daycare centers and childcare workers fill the gap. The author maintains that the old understanding of the homemaking role needs to be reenlivened with spiritual knowledge. We can, for example, begin to work with the suprasensory aspects of the household, the etheric and astral qualities there, as well as the various spiritual beings that are connected with the home. This book provides a generous helping of advice and ideas to help all those whose destiny is to develop a career that involves caring for home and family. It offers recognition of the dignity and importance of creating an environment that protects and nurtures children, preparing them for the larger world. C O N T E N T S 1.

Dokument aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Geowissenschaften / Geographie - Regionalgeographie, Note: -, -, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die territoriale Obergewalt ist bei allen souveranen Staaten Grundvoraussetzung und unverzichtbares Element ihrer Existenz. Eine fundamentale Schmalerung der Gebietshoheit ergibt sich durch das Einlegen fremder Gebietsteile, der exterritorialen Gebiete, in das Territorium eines Hoheitsgebietes. Hierbei ist es von geringer Relevanz, ob zwischen den betroffenen Staaten eine Zollgrenze besteht oder nicht. Eine fortgefallene Zollgrenze beeinflusst in keinster Weise die Souveranitat eines Staates, es sei denn, der Wegfall der Grenze fuhrt zu einer Verschmelzung zwischen den durch exterritoriale Gebiete behaftete Lander. Die mit Abstand am haufigsten vorkommenden Gebiete mit exterritorialem Charakter sind die Exklaven und Enklaven. Neben den Gebietssplittern existieren noch weitere exterritoriale Gebiete, denen aber nicht der Status von Exklaven und Enklaven zuerkannt werden kann, weil sie die Gebietshoheit des sie umschliessenden Staates in ihrem Areal nicht aufheben. Weitere territoriale Anomalien sind Gebietszipfel, die sich aufgrund ihres abnormen raumlichen Profils mehrfach als Storfelder internationaler Kontakte ausgewirkt haben. Ziel dieses Buches war neben der Beschreibung der vorgenannten Gebiete, deren Existenz oftmals nicht bekannt ist, primar die Untersuchung, wie gross das Storungspotential dieser territorialen Anomalien heute noch sind. Ein Abgleiten auf das Gebiet der Geschichte lasst sich hierbei - wie bei allen anderen politischgeographischen Themen - nicht ganz vermeide

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Linguistik, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Wer des Ofteren mit der notwendigen Aufmerksamkeit durch deutsche Lande fahrt, dessen Blick wird irgendwann einmal auf eine Ortseingangstafel fallen, deren Beschriftung im ersten Moment beim Betrachter eine leichte Heiterkeit aufkommen lasst. Denn so selten sind sie gar nicht, die deutschen Stadte, Stadtteile und Gemeinden mit den kuriosen Ortsnamen. Nachdem uber Namen wie Lederhose, Habenichts, Wassersuppe, Katzenhirn oder Ekelsdorf herzhaft gelacht wurde, stellt sich der eine oder andere Zeitgenosse doch ernstlich die Frage, wie es zu solch eigentumlichen Namensgebungen gekommen ist. Zwei Probleme bei der Erarbeitung des Themas lagen darin, einen Ortsnamen objektiv und uberhaupt als kurios einzuordnen und diesen dann auf keinen Fall lacherlich zu machen. Wenn die vorliegende Arbeit eine unterhaltende Wirkung hat, ist dagegen nichts einzuwenden; es ist namlich nicht einzusehen, warum ernsthafte Bucher notwendigerweise knochentrocken und todlangweilig sein mussen. Andererseits sollte hier niemals ein Witzbuch entstehen, sondern der Versuch gemacht werden, innerhalb der Forschung zur deutschen Landeskunde die Genesis kurioser Ortsnamen wissenschaftlich darzulegen. Von immer wieder im Internet auftauchenden Webseiten von Selbstdarstellern und Pseudowitzbolden, die sich mit der Veralberung von kuriosen Ortsnamen profilieren wollen, distanziert sich der Inhalt dieses Buches ausdrucklich.

Dokument aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Geowissenschaften / Geographie - Sonstiges, -, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Inseln haben den Geist und die Emotionen der Menschen zu allen Zeiten bewegt. Wohl kaum eine andere Pragung von Mutter Natur gestaltet das Bild der Erde so mannigfaltig und ereignisreich wie die Inseln. Eine Insel, so die Definition der meisten Lexika, ist mit Ausnahme der Kontinente (Australien) jede Landmasse, die vollstandig von Wasser umgeben ist. Das trifft ebenfalls auf Landmassen zu, die in Flussen oder Seen liegen. Auch wenn diese zum Teil nur wenige Meter vom Festland entfernt liegen und manche mit dem Ufer durch Brucken oder Damme verbunden sind, mussen sie als Inseln definiert werden. Wenn man nun davon ausgeht, dass die deutschen Fluss- und Binnenseeinseln nicht sehr gross sind, weil die deutschen Binnenseen nicht sehr gross - und die deutschen Flusse nicht sehr breit sind, stellt sich die Frage, was macht diese Inseln untersuchungswurdig? Nun, da die Adjektive klein und gross bekanntlicherweise relativ sind, konnen die deutschen Strom- und Binnenseeinseln in vielfacher Hinsicht von Interesse sein. Die Untersuchungen in diesem Buch galten primar ihren okologischen Potentialen und sekundar, praktisch sich aus dieser Untersuchung ergebend, ihren teilweise hochinteressanten historischen Hintergrunden. Die hohe Schutzwurdigkeit vieler Fluss- und Binnenseeinseln basiert insgesamt gesehen vor allem auf dem ausgepragten Naturlichkeitsgrad weiter Bereiche dieser Inseln. Bis auf einige kleine und kleinste Inseln, in ebenso kleinen und kleinsten Seen und Flussen, wurden alle deutschen Fluss- und Binnenseeinseln in die Untersuchung einbezogen. Praktisch ausser Konkurrenz, weil aber von hohem historischen Wert, fand hier auch die kunstlich angelegte Insel Wilhelmstein im Steinhuder Meer Aufnahme, ansonsten waren kunstlich angelegten Inseln von den Untersuchungen ausgeschlossen.

Darum sollte fur das Verstehendes Wesens der Wissenschaften diese nicht nur in der festgelegten Norm, sondern auch in den Abweichungen untersucht werden. Naturgemass entziehen sich geographische Kuriositaten der statistischen Erfassung. Sie sind daher von der zufalligen Kenntnis einer Fachperson innerhalb einer sachkompetenten Institution abhangig, wodurch ein systematisches Sammeln solcher Merkwurdigkeiten nur partiell moglich ist.Kuriositaten konnen Einmaligkeiten sein, sie konnen aber auch mehrfach vorkommen und trotzdem eine Besonderheit darstellen. Ja, man konnte sogar von nicht existierenden Kuriositaten berichten, wie beispielsweise von der Loreley. Kuriositaten konnen (dem Fachmann) einen frischen Blick auf allzu vertraut Erscheinendes lenken und geben dabei Anlass zum Nachdenken.So uberraschend und seltsam eine Kuriositat sein kann, so relativ und nicht selten auch subjektiv ist sie in ihrer Interpretation. Kuriositaten konnen dicke Brocken oder nur Lappalien sein. Kuriositaten konnen Themen sein, an denen sich Kritik entzundet und sie konnen sicherlich auch lehrreich sein.Auch wenn auf den ersten Blick viele der aufgefuhrten geographischen Merkwurdigkeiten scheinbar einen wissenschaftlichen Hintergrund vermissen lassen - er ist in den meisten Fallen nachzuweisen, auch wenn die geographische Kuriositat noch so trivial erscheint.Die nachfolgende Sammlung enthalt kapitale Bocke, aber auch manche Trivialitat.
