Mileva Mari was more than Albert Einsteins first wifeshe was a brilliant physicist whose intellectual contributions have long been overlooked. As one of the first women to study physics at the prestigious Swiss Federal Polytechnic, she defied societal expectations and pursued groundbreaking scientific inquiries alongside her famous husband.But was her role merely that of a supportive partner, or did she play a more significant part in shaping the theories that revolutionized modern physics? Drawing on historical documents, personal letters, and expert analyses, Mileva Mari: The Forgotten Scientist unravels the mystery surrounding her influence on Einsteins early work, particularly in the development of the Special Theory of Relativity.This compelling book sheds light on a woman whose legacy has been unjustly eclipsed by history. It is a tribute to a pioneering mind, an exploration of lost recognition, and a call to reexamine the stories we tell about scientific genius.For readers fascinated by the hidden figures of science, gender dynamics in academia, and the untold contributions of brilliant women, Mileva Mari: The Forgotten Scientist is an essential and thought-provoking read.

Through Rider Biomechanics one gains a complete understanding of the biomechanics of the rider via a new understanding of fascia, the fabric of the body that links muscles into functional chains, rather like strings of sausages. Within both human and equine bodies these form lines of pull, affecting posture, movement, stability and mobility. Through clear how to descriptions, coupled with copious illustrations, the reader learns how to rebalance the tension within and between ones own lines of pull. The ultimate task is to use this developing awareness to rebalance the tension in the horse s line of pull, gaining much more influence over his carriage and movement. The secrets of talented riders are laid bare.

In an outer arm of the spiralling Milky Way galaxy can be seen an insignificant speck. This is our home, planet Earth. Its skies, clouds, lands and seas, and indeed life itself have long drawn the interest of scientists and artists alike. Our cultural and scientific history is evidence enough that curiosity and wonder are the twin drivers of both scientific and artistic imaginations. In Science and Sensibility, David Howe unveils the stories of the scientists who helped to make sense of the stars, clouds, life, rocks, and the elements, and weaves their tales with the thoughts and feelings of artists who found meaning as they experienced natures beauty, grandeur and mystery. Scientific greats such as James Hutton, Charles Darwin, Dmitri Mendeleev, Gregor Mendel and Annie Jump Cannon all the way up to todays leading scientists are complemented by the literary insights of people such as William Wordsworth, Jorge Luis Borges and Iris Murdoch. Readers are encouraged to embrace what the sciences and the arts can reveal together. In doing so, the earth below and the heavens above become brighter and richer. The wonder and curiosity embodied in Science and Sensibility could perhaps take us a step closer to holding Infinity in the palm of your hand / and Eternity in an hour.

Tracing uraniums past, and how it intersects with our understanding of other radioactive elements, this book aims to disentangle our attitudes and to unpick the atomic mindset.Chain Reactions looks at the fascinating, often-forgotten, stories that can be found throughout the history of the element. Ranging from glassworks to penny stocks; medicines to weapons; something to be feared to a powerful source of energy, this global history not only explores the development of our scientific understanding of uranium, but also shines a light on its cultural and social impact.By understanding our nuclear past, we can move beyond the ideological opposition to atomic technology and encourage a more nuanced dialogue about whether it is feasible - and desirable - to have a genuinely nuclear-powered future.

Il testo intende fornire indicazioni operative per la gestione logica delle organizzazioni nel contesto economico-ambientale mantenendo aperta la visione sugli aspetti giuridico-amministrativi e, quindi, dare un contributo al miglioramento della capacita di operare in modo conforme a quel complesso di norme, regolamenti e standard che sono tesi alla diffusione e allindustrializzazione dellimpresa circolare. La panoramica contenuta nel testo consente ad ogni organizzazione (pubblica o privata) di trasformare in vantaggio competitivo la gestione efficace degli aspetti ambientali, dello sviluppo dei mercati green nonche dellincremento della propria reputazione ambientale. È consolidato che tutte le organizzazioni possono migliorare i propri risultati solo grazie a una puntuale e corretta misurazione delle singole attivita/azioni dei processi e delle catene del valore. In particolare, il libro contiene un commento illustrativo della nuova e innovativa specifica tecnica UNI/TS 11820:2022 dedicata alla Misurazione della circolarita Metodi ed indicatori per la misurazione dei processi circolari nelle organizzazioni; il documento UNI e molto importante in quanto definisce un set di indicatori applicati a livello meso e micro, atti a valutare, attraverso un sistema di rating, il livello di circolarita di unorganizzazione o gruppo di organizzazioni che consente di effettuare la valutazione del livello raggiunto. Inoltre, vengono definiti i requisiti per la valutazione di conformita di parte terza del livello di circolarita raggiunto dallorganizzazione.

Uber das Klima und seine Veranderung wird viel gestritten. Die einen sehen uns untergehen, andere raten zu mehr Gelassenheit. Tatsachlich ist die Entwicklung des Klimas unserer Erde eine komplexe Sache. Viele Faktoren und lange Zeitraume bestimmen die Entwicklung von Temperaturen, Niederschlagen und Klimazonen. Autor Helmut Schlafer hat auf der Suche nach einer Antwort zahlreiche wissenschaftliche Parameter zusammengetragen von Eiszeiten uber Treibhausgase und Aerosole bis zu den groen Stromungen in den Meeren und der Atmosphare sowie dem Einfluss unserer Sonne aufs Klima. So ist die Klimafibel entstanden. Sie soll anregen, sich offen und vorbehaltlos auseinanderzusetzen mit diesem komplexen Thema. Moglicherweise steht am Ende, dass wir doch nicht untergehen und es sogar Hoffnung gibt.

Bodenschutz ist eines der drangendsten Probleme unserer Zeit. Boden spielt eine wichtige Rolle im Wasser- und CO2-Kreislauf und ist damit ein wesentlicher Baustein fur Biodiversitat.In diesem Buch wird die alarmierende Bedrohung des Bodens durch die wachsende Flacheninanspruchnahme fur Bauland und Infrastruktur beleuchtet. Der Autor analysiert die Ursachen dieses Problems und setzt es in den Kontext gesellschaftlicher Herausforderungen, wie dem demografischen Wandel, Wirtschaftswachstum und der Klimakrise. Dabei wird die dringende Notwendigkeit eines effektiven Bodenschutzes fur die Ernahrungs- und Rohstoffsicherheit sowie den Schutz der Biodiversitat betont. Mit einem Blick auf innovative Losungsansatze und die Rolle der Raumplanung zeigt das Buch auf, wie Bodenschutz gelingen kann.

Es gibt viele Grunde, warum Insekten aussterben. Der haufigste Grund ist wie immer die Zerstorung des Lebensraums (Habitat) und die Ausrottung der Pflanzen, von denen sich die Art ernahrt.Ob diese Zerstorung absichtlich oder unabsichtlich herbeigefuhrt wurde, spielt dabei keine Rolle. Als Beispiel fur eine unabsichtliche Lebensraum-Zerstorung ist das Einfuhren von fremden Arten, die die Vegetation vernichten und deswegen auch die darauf angewiesenen Insekten zum Aussterben bringen.
