Experiments with rubber balloons and rubber sheets have led to surprising observations, some of them hitherto unknown or not previously described in the literature. In balloons, these phenomena are due to the non-monotonic pressure-radius characteristic which makes balloons a subject of interest to physicists engaged in stability studies. Here is a situation in which symmetry breaking and hysteresis may be studied analytically, because the stress-stretch relations of rubber - and its non-convex free energy - can be determined explicitly from the kinetic theory of rubber and from non-linear elasticity. Since rubber elasticity and the elasticity of gases are both entropy-induced, a rubber balloon represents a compromise between the entropic tendency of a gas to expand and the entropic tendency of rubber to contract. Thus rubber and rubber balloons furnish instructive paradigms of thermodynamics. This monograph treats the subject at a level appropriate for post-graduate studies.

There are seven life processes identified in anthroposophical human physiology which affect physical organ function and life forces: breathing, producing warmth, nourishment, secretion, preservation, growth and production/reproduction. They form the foundation for healthy development, understanding one's own capacities, and age-appropriate learning. This book considers these seven processes in relation to the developing child. It examines how play and learning are connected to the life processes and how adults can support children's physical organ functions so that they can develop in a healthy way and learn with ease. The book is full of important educational considerations and will be of significant value to teachers, educators, parents and caregivers.

HOLISTIC HEALTH "Hildegard's knowledge can help Western herbal medicine return itself to an equal level of sophistication with the Eastern systems that are becoming popular today. Hildegard's medicine, therefore, has a special import today for this regeneration of our own, older, natural-healing tradition." --David Frawley, O.M.D, co-author, with Dr. Vasant Lad, of Yoga of Herbs Hildegard of Bingen, a major twelfth-century mystic and prophet, began having divinely inspired visions at the age of six. These visions continued throughout her life, and were the source of highly honored information on healing through a multidimensional approach to the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. Widely accepted by physicians and religious healers of her time, Hildegard's work was lost over the centuries, and has only recently been reborn through the work of the authors of this book. Hildegard of Bingen's Medicine is a groundbreaking contribution to medicine and healing. It contains translations of Hildegard text which reflect the high point of medieval, alchemical, and healing science. In addition, these translations are commented upon by authors who have worked clinically with Hildegard's wisdom for thirty years. Many will find this book to contain profound, long lost spiritual teachings. Hildegard's deep understanding of nature--trees, herbs, and animals--inspires a new vision of balance and planetary attunement. DR. GOTTFRIED HERTZKA is a medical doctor in Germany, and author of the bestselling book on Hildegard medicine, So heilt Gott. He has worked clinically with Hildegard's theories for thirty years. DR. WIGHARD STREHLOW was a research chemist in the pharmaceutical industry in West Germany, andnow works with Dr. Hertzka in the Hildegard Practice at Konstanz, West Germany.

Synthesizes the holistic wisdom of Hildegard of Bingen to offer the modern reader her spiritual and psychological healing principles.

- Takes a holistic view of psychological or spiritual illness and its physical repercussions.

- Shows how to incorporate healing words into thoughts in order to prevent negative energy.

- Companion volume to "Hildegard of Bingen's Medicine," a collection of remedies for physical ailments (30,000 sold).

A 12th-century mystic, visionary, and healer, Hildegard of Bingen recognized what the holistic health movement has only recently restored to our consciousness: that full health can only be experienced in a state of spiritual balance. Psychological trauma, emotional distress, and other maladies of the soul often lead to illness and chronic diseases. Healing the body begins with the self-healing of the spirit.

Dr. Wighard Strehlow explains the natural methods used by Hildegard of Bingen to treat weaknesses of the soul--problems that are today treated by drugs such as Prozac. Based on his clinical work with this effective energetic medicine for more than 20 years, Dr. Strehlow gives readers a complete program for a lifestyle of "spiritual fitness." His practical suggestions are based on the integration of 35 spiritual forces of the human soul in order to "cure the soul within," which he synthesized from five of Hildegard's books on spiritual and psychological healing principles. He suggests that the recovery of Hildegard's insights into cultivating the health of body and spirit may even provide solutions to the challenges currently frustrating Western medical science.

Das Buch wendet sich an alle Studenten der Natur- und Ingenieurwissenschaften, die sich im Rahmen des Grundstudiums die Gedankenwelt der Physik erschliessen wollen. Es behandelt die klassischen Gebiete Mechanik, Thermodynamik, Elektromagnetismus, Schwingungen und Wellen und Optik, macht den Leser aber auch mit modernen Gebieten wie Atom- und Festkorperphysik in gebuhrender Weise vertraut. In diesem Zusammenhang kommen auch grundlegende Konzepte der Quantenmechanik und der Relativitatstheorie zur Sprache. Dennoch bleibt das Buch in Umfang und Inhalt uberschaubar und eignet sich durch die Art der Darstellung gleichermassen zum Gebrauch neben der Vorlesung wie auch zum Selbststudium. Eine Vielzahl von Ubungsaufgaben mit ausfuhrlicher Diskussion der Losungen sollen den Lernenden dabei unterstutzen.

Flight of Memory is a bold collection of short stories from octogenarian Robert Strehlow. He draws from his own experiences to show how life constantly evolves in directions we do not expect.

In the collection's title story, "Flight of Memory," Paul makes a memorable discovery while expanding his investments. His fading memory could be an asset while others might consider it a liability. In "Blind Vision," the sudden avoidable tragedy of lost sight could restrict Marion's future. Perhaps retribution is the only gratifying future left.

When an envied family structure is slowly diminished, the question of whether any member could have kept them intact is answered in "Snow Prints of Life."

Would success at any job be enough to keep you there, even though you hate it? Find out how one man responds in "I Hate This Job."

Whimsical, sometimes sobering, but always thought-provoking, the stories in Strehlow's Flight of Memory will delight and entertain.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Interpersonale Kommunikation, Note: 1,0, Rheinisch-Westfalische Technische Hochschule Aachen (Institut fur Sprach- und Kommunikationswissenschaft der RWTH Aachen Lehrstuhl fur Deutsche Philologie und Germanistisches Institut), Veranstaltung: Gestenanalyse: Theoretische und empirische Ansatze, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Redebegleitende Gesten erfullen in der Kommunikation unterschiedliche Zwecke: Sie nehmen Bezug auf Gegenstande der Rede, strukturieren das Gesagte, lenken die Aufmerksamkeit der Zuhorer, fordern zu Aktionen auf und wirken an der Erschaffung und am Wechsel von Gesprachsrollen mit. Sie sind verkorperte" und daher visuell wahrnehmbare Informationen, die den Gehalt der akustisch-sprachlichen Kommunikationsdimension erganzen, wiederholen, bestarken oder ersetzen. Multimodale Kommunikation ruckt die Verstandigung der Menschen ab vom sterilen mathematisch-funktionalistischen Modell der Informationsubertragung und akzentuiert die Moglichkeit von sinnlicher, anschaulicher und kreativer Erzeugung (Produktion: auf der Seite des Sprechers) und Anteilnahme (Reproduktion und Empathie auf der Seite des Adressaten) von Erfahrungen, Kenntnissen und Emotionen. Zahlreiche Gesten nehmen typische Form- und Bewegungsparameter aus praktischen Kontexten an, in denen die Hande eingesetzt werden, und werden zur korperlichen Ausdrucksseite eines metaphorischen Ausdrucks: Argumente werden weggewischt," wie die Krumel von der Tischplatte; Positionen werden ergriffen und festgehalten," wie eine Fernbedienung; eine Sache wird wie mit einem Stift nachgezeichnet." Der leiblich-direkte Bezug zur Vorstellungswelt des Sprechers zeigt sich auch in den Darstellungsmoglichkeiten der Hande: Bedeutung kann uber zeichnende, agierende, modellierende und reprasentierende Hande/Finger dargestellt werden (Bavelas et. al 1995: 394-405, Fehrmann 2010: 18-36, Ladewig 2010: 89-111, Muller 1998: 110-119, Muller 2010: 37-68).
