Karl Valentin once asked: "How can it be that only as much happens
as fits into the newspaper the next day?" He focussed on the
problem that information of the past has to be organised, arranged
and above all: selected and put into form in order to be perceived
as a whole. In this sense, the process of selection must be seen as
the fundamental moment - the "Urszene" - of making History. This
book shows selection as highly creative act. With the richness of
early medieval material it can be demonstrated that creative
selection was omnipresent and took place even in unexpected text
genres. The book demonstrates the variety how premodern authors
dealt with "unimportant", unpleasant or unwanted past. It provides
a general overview for regions and text genres in early medieval
Europe.
Biochar is the carbon-rich organic matter that remains after
heating biomass under minimization of oxygen during a process
called pyrolysis. Its relevance to deforestation, agricultural
resilience, and energy production, particularly in developing
countries, makes it an important issue. This report offers a review
of what is known about opportunities and risks of biochar systems.
Its aim is to provide a state of the art overview of current
knowledge regarding biochar science. In that sense the report also
offers a reconciling view on different scientific opinions about
biochar providing an overall account that shows the various
perspectives of its science and application. This includes soil and
agricultural impacts of biochar, climate change impacts, social
impacts, and competing uses of biomass. The report aims to
contextualize the current scientific knowledge in order to put it
at use to address the development- climate change nexus, including
social and environmental sustainability. The report is organized as
follows: chapter one offers some introductory comments and notes
the increasing interest in biochar both from a scientific as well
as from a practitioner's point of view; chapter two gives further
background on biochar, describing its characteristics and outlining
the way in which biochar systems function. Chapter three then
considers the opportunities and risks of biochar systems, chapter
four presents a typology of biochar systems emerging in practice,
particularly in the developing world. New, International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14040-based life-cycle
assessments of the net climate change impact and the net economic
profitability of three biochar systems with data collected from
relatively advanced biochar projects were conducted for this report
and are presented in chapter five, providing a novel understanding
of the full life-cycle impacts of these known biochar systems.
Chapter six investigates various aspects of technology adoption,
including barriers to implementing promising systems, focusing on
economics, carbon market access, and sociocultural barriers.
Finally, the status of knowledge regarding biochar systems is
interpreted in chapter seven to determine potential implications
for future involvement in biochar research, policy, and project
formulation.
Der Band umfasst 395 Katalognummern mit den mittelalterlichen und
fruhneuzeitlichen Inschriften der Stadt Darmstadt und der
