Written by a leading expert on comets, this textbook is divided
into seven main elements with a view to allowing advanced students
to appreciate the interconnections between the different elements.
The author opens with a brief introductory segment on the
motivation for studying comets and the overall scope of the book.
The first chapter describes fundamental aspects most usually
addressed by ground-based observation. The author then looks at the
basic physical phenomena in four separate chapters addressing the
nucleus, the emitted gas, the emitted dust, and the solar wind
interaction. Each chapter introduces the basic physics and
chemistry but then new specific measurements by Rosetta instruments
at comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko are brought in. A concerted effort
has been made to distinguish between established fact and
conjecture. Deviations and inconsistencies are brought out and
their significance explained. Links to previous observations of
comets Tempel 1, Wild 2, Hartley 2, Halley and others are made. The
author then closes with three smaller chapters on related objects,
the loss of comets, and prospects for future exploration. This
textbook includes over 275 graphics and figures - most of which are
original. Thorough explanations and derivations are included
throughout the chapters. The text is therefore designed to support
MSc. students and new PhD students in the field wanting to gain a
solid overview of the state-of-the-art.
The study of the Solar system, particularly of its newly
discovered outer parts, is one of the hottest topics in modern
astrophysics with great potential for revealing fundamental clues
about the origin of planets and even the emergence of life. The
three lecturers of the 35th Saas-Fee Advanced Course, which have
been updated and collected in this volume, cover the field from
observational, theoretical and numerical perspectives.
Craft Economies provides a wide-ranging exploration of contemporary
craft production, situating practices of amateur and professional
making within a wider creative economy. Contributors address a
diverse range of practices, sites and forms of making in a wide
range of regional and national contexts, from floristry to ceramics
and from crochet to coding. The volume considers the role of
digital practices of making and the impact of the maker's movement
as part of larger trends around customization, on-demand
production, and the possibilities of 3D printing and digital
manufacturing.
Space, Place and Poetry in English and German, 1960-1975 examines
the work of Paul Celan, J. H. Prynne, Derek Mahon, Sarah Kirsch,
Edwin Morgan and Ernst Jandl, bringing together postwar English-
and German-language poetry and criticism on the theme of space,
place and landscape. Nicola Thomas highlights hitherto
underexplored connections between a wide range of poets working
across the two language areas, demonstrating that space and place
are vital critical categories for understanding poetry of this
period. Thomas's analysis reveals weaknesses in existing critical
taxonomies, arguing for the use of 'late modernist' as a category
with cross-cultural relevance, and promotes methodological exchange
between the Anglophone and German traditions of landscape, space
and place oriented poetic criticism, to the benefit of both.
This book gives a status report on where we stand today in studies
of cometary nuclei and their immediate environment. The papers were
derived from a Horizon 2020 project called MiARD (Multi-instrument
Analysis of Rosetta Data), which was designed to use multiple
datasets from the Rosetta mission to comet
67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko to place further constraints on the
properties of the nucleus of the comet and its immediate
environment. The individual chapters are the result of a
significant effort by leading researchers to establish clear
statements on what we know from current cometary data. Based on a
workshop held in 2018 at the International Space Sciences
Institute, the book focuses on the nucleus itself and the
relationship between the surface properties and the observed
outgassing. Additionally, it makes a first critical assessment of
the Rosetta dataset, establishing what would be an appropriate next
step in cometary research. Previously published in Space Science

Churyumov-Gerasimenko Perspectives"

Social media data can be vast and understanding which data source
works best for a research project, as well as the ethical
considerations it requires and how to go about extracting and
analysing this data, is fundamental for students to grasp. Working
with social media data requires a specific set of knowledge and
skills and this Fix answers questions such as: Can social media
data meet my research needs? How do I gather and use social media
data ethically? What social media data do I need to gather? How do
I build an effective social media sampling strategy? How do I
extract data from social media platforms? What steps should I take
to plan my data collection?
Craft Communities addresses the social groups, old and new, which
have developed around craft production and consumption, exploring
the social and cultural impact of contemporary practices of making.
Addressing a wide range of crafting practice, from yarnbombs to
Shetlands shawls, brassware to paper crafting, in a variety of
regional and national contexts, the contributors consider how craft
practices operate collectively in the home, communities,
businesses, workshops, schools, social enterprises, and online. It
further identifies how social media has emerged as a key driver of
the 'Third Wave' of craft. From Etsy to Instagram, Twitter to
Pinterest, online communities of the handmade are changing the way
people buy and sell, make and meet.
Die Beitrage dieses Bandes thematisieren Auswirkungen neuer
Steuerungs- und Verwertungslogiken, die sich unter dem Begriff der
"unternehmerischen Stadt" zusammenfassen lassen. Soziale Arbeit,
die vorwiegend quartierbezogen agiert, sieht sich dabei einer
zunehmenden Fragmentierung der Stadt gegenuber und ist mit der
Verdrangung sozial schwacherer Gruppen konfrontiert.
Stadtentwicklungspolitik agiert dabei stutzend und steuernd
zugleich: Standortmarketing starkt die internationale
Wettbewerbsfahigkeit und Programme der Quartiersentwicklung wirken
dem Auseinanderfallen der Stadt entgegen. Die Autoren und
Autorinnen diskutieren aktuelle Programmatiken, thematisieren die
Bereiche Selbsthilfe, soziale Bewegungen und Sozialpolitik und
setzen sich mit der Rolle von Wahrnehmungen und Imaginationen in
der Stadtforschung auseinander.
