The Complete Carnivore Diet for Beginners is the definitive
carnivore starter guide. Informative and approachable. No dogma.
Just a practical template for success. The carnivore diet is
surging in popularity. And while its contrarian tenets may fly in
the face of conventional nutritional recommendations, millions of
people, and emerging research, are showing it to be a healing
nutritional template, when done correctly. If you are new to the
carnivore diet, this is your go-to resource for doing it safely and
sustainably. In this accessible guide, board-certified holistic
nutritionist Judy Cho covers the “why†of carnivore eating with
well-referenced scientific information on the pitfalls of modern
plant-based diets and how animal-based eating can support health,
disease amelioration, and, contrary to popular belief, nutrient
density. You’ll learn how to successfully implement a carnivore
lifestyle, including: Â Levels of carnivore eating Meal plans
Starter recipes How to deal with transition symptoms Unlike
competing books, which are heavy tomes dense on text, The Complete
Carnivore Diet For Beginners gives you information in simple,
engaging, easily understood graphics, sidebars, FAQs, and chapter
summaries. Combining science-supported nutritional protocol and
practical application, this is the must-have beginner’s guide to
animal-based eating.

Cities, the world over, are increasingly recognised to be both a
principal source of the environmental and social sustainability
challenges facing contemporary society and a critical site for
addressing these challenges. Socio-technical systems are at the
heart of these challenges as they configure central aspects of
urban life: from mobility and energy infrastructures to leisure
activities and patterns of mobility. This observation has led to
substantial interest in how societies might initiate and actively
steer radical transitions in these systems in the pursuit of
sustainable urban futures. This book contributes to emerging
debates on the politics of urban transitions by examining the
intimate interlinkages between knowledge, power and governance.
Drawing upon real-world examples of urban governance, the authors
explore the strategies, struggles and controversies involved in
configuring knowledge and how knowledge constructions influence
governance by rendering some concerns and issues visible and
valuable, while obscuring others. The book draws attention to how
novel ways of conceptualising, knowing and observing
socio-technical systems may be harnessed productively in redefining
the power relationships underpinning unsustainable practices.
Understanding these dynamics can ultimately inform and enable new
approaches to support much-needed urban transitions. This book
provides a compelling examination of urban knowledge politics for
the twenty-first century that will be of great value to academics,
policy-makers and practitioners working in the social sciences,
urban studies, geography, urban governance or sustainability
transitions.

Splines are the fundamental tools for fitting curves and surfaces
in computer-aided design and computer graphics. This volume
presents a practical introduction to computing spline functions and
takes the elementary and directly available approach of using
explicit and easily evaluated forms of the spline interpolants.
Spath outlines the conditions under which splines can be best
applied and integrates into his presentation numerous formulas and
algorithms to emphasize his concepts. He also includes FORTRAN-77
subroutines which can be applied to the abundant problems
illustrated and treated in the book which in turn allows the reader
to assess the performance of various spline interpolants based on
the configuration of the data. A program disc is available to
supplement the text and there is also a companion volume, One
Dimensional Spline Interpolation Algorithms.

The volume contains articles that focus on the interface between
linguistic and conceptual knowledge. The issues addressed in the
volume include the preconditions of every level of the language
system that are required for the transformation of linguistic
information into conceptual representations. In accordance with
Chomsky's Minimalist language model, the language system is
embedded into the performative systems where language is a part of
the cognitive competence of human beings, i.e. system of
articulation and perception (A/P) and the conceptual-intentional
system (C/I). During the formation of linguistic structures, every
performative system obtains well-formed representations as its
input information. The articles of the volume show how interface
conditions determine the linguistic representations on each level
of the linguistic system. Interface conditions result in
requirements for the ordering of linguistic elements. The syntactic
transformation achieves a point, where the linguistic structure
formation branches to two distinct representational levels. Both
levels deliver instructions for the systems of performance A/P and
C/I. Linearization takes place on the syntactic surface of a
sentence. The linearization of linguistic elements is manifest at
the derivational point of Spell-out and also on the level of the
phonological form (PF). This means that on the one hand,
linearization is relevant to the phonetic aspect of linguistic
expressions, and on the other hand, the interpretation of
linguistic utterances is based on hierarchical structures. On the
level of Logical Form (LF) all operations apply which don't have
any influence on the linear order in overt syntax. In addition they
affect the generation of hierarchical structures. The structure
obtained on LF is the representational format of the semantic form
of a sentence.
Vom 18. bis 20. September 1974 trafen sich wiederum uber 300
OR-Fachleute und am Operations Research Interessierte zu der
inzwischen schon zur Tradition gewordenen Jahrestagung der
Deutschen Gesellschaft ftir Operations Research, um Erfahrungen
aus- zutauschen, uber Probleme und Methoden zu diskutieren, und um
ihren Beitrag zum Fortschritt des Operations Research zu leisten.
Man traf sich dieses Mal in der in vielen Hinsichten ausserst
reizvollen Stadt Wurzburg, die einen zugleich wurdevollen als auch
'anregenden Rahmen ftir den Gedankenaustausch bot. Die Tatsache,
dass Wurzburg der Sitz des Physica-Verlags ist, der die DGOR
dankens- werterweise dorthin eingeladen hatte, ist einer der Grunde
daftir, dass wir bereits zwei Monate nach Abschluss der Tagung die
35 Vortrage umfassenden Proceedings vorlegen konnen. Die Autoren
dieser Beitrage stammen aus Deutschland und Osterreich, und sie
sind wie- derum sowohl in der Praxis als auch in den Hochschulen
tatig. Es ist daher wiederum nicht verwunderlich, dass das Spektrum
der Beitrage von recht theoretischen Vortragen bis zu Berichten
uber praktische Anwendungen langst bekannter OR-Verfahren reicht.
Wir verstehen diese Zusammensetzung des Tagungsprogrammes als einen
Teil der Einlo- sung des Versprechens, dass die DGOR die
Aktivitaten, sowohl der DGU als auch des AKOR fortzufuhren bereit
und gewillt ist.
Zahlreiche Beispiele aus der Praxis zeigen auf, welche Konzepte
bereits heute erfolgreich in Unternehmen eingesetzt werden und mit
welchen zukunftigen Entwicklungen zu rechnen ist."
"Generation" has become a central concept of cultural, historical
and social studies. This book analyses how this concept is
currently used and how it relates to memory and constructions of
historical meaning from educational, historical, legal and
political perspectives. Attempts to compare different national
generations or to elaborate boundary-crossing, transnational
generations still constitute an exception. In trying to fill this
gap, this collection of essays concentrates on one crucial moment
of "the age of extremes" and on one specific generation: the year
1945 and its progressive politicians and intellectuals. Focusing on
Italy, West Germany and France, it suggests that the concept of
generation should be regarded as an open question in space and
time. Therefore, this volume asks what role generation played in
the intellectual and political debates of 1945: if it facilitated
change, if it served as source of solidarity and cohesion and how
post-war societies organized their time.
