Re-making the way we make things

From the authors of "Cradle to Cradle," we learn what's next: The Upcycle "The Upcycle" is the eagerly awaited follow-up to "Cradle to Cradle," one of the most consequential ecological manifestoes of our time. Now, drawing on the green living lessons gained from 10 years of putting the Cradle to Cradle concept into practice with businesses, governments, and ordinary people, William McDonough and Michael Braungart envision the next step in the solution to our ecological crisis: We don't just use or reuse and recycle resources with greater effectiveness, we actually improve the natural world as we live, create, and build. For McDonough and Braungart, the questions of resource scarcity and sustainability are questions of design. They are practical-minded visionaries: They envision beneficial designs of products, buildings, and business practices and they show us these ideas being put to use around the world as everyday objects like chairs, cars, and factories are being reimagined not just to sustain life on the planet but to "grow it." It is an eye-opening, inspiring tour of our green future as it unfolds in front of us. "The Upcycle" is as ambitious as such classics as Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" but its mission is very different. McDonough and Braungart want to turn on its head our very understanding of the human role on earth: Instead of protecting the planet from human impact, why not redesign our activity to improve the environment? We can have a beneficial, sustainable footprint. Abundance for all. The goal is within our reach."

Die Arbeit ist ein Versuch, aus der wechselseitigen Durchdringung und Verknupfung von strukturell-funktionalistischem Begriffsinventar der Handlungs- und Rollentheorie mit literaturtheoretischen, vorab hermeneutischen Kategorien ein Systemgerust zu erstellen, das die Beschreibung der Literaturtheorie einiger wesentlicher Vertreter des 18. Jahrhunderts in formalisierten sozio-literarischen Modellen gestattet und gleichzeitig den literarischen Funktionswandel hervortreten lasst."

Marie-Laure bor med faren i Paris nær det naturhistoriske museet, hvor han er låsemester for museets tusener av låser. Når Marie-Laure blir blind som seksåring, bygger pappa en perfekt miniatyr av nabolaget så hun kan memorere det med hendene og finne veien hjem på egenhånd. Når hun er tolv år, okkuperer nazistene Paris. Hun og pappa flykter til festningsbyen St. Malo ved kysten, til et familiemedlem. Med seg bærer de en hemmelighet: En juvel som kanskje er museets mest verdifulle edelsten. Har de fått utlevert den ekte steinen eller bare en av flere kopier? Den ekte steinen har en urgammel spådom over seg. Og hensynløse nazister jakter på den. I en gruveby i Tyskland vokser foreldreløse Werner opp på barnehjem. Hans tekniske begavelse skaffer ham innpass i Hitlers brutale ungdomsorganisasjonen. Werner blir sendt ut på oppdrag for å spore og knuse motstandsfolk på kryss og tvers i Europa. Sjokkert over krigens og nazistenes brutalitet, ender han i St. Malo, hvor hans skjebne flettes sammen med Marie-Laure. Med sitt lyrisk vakre språk, har Anthony Doerr skrevet en vidunderlig, fengslende og uforglemmelig historie om en blind jente og en foreldreløs gutt midt under krigens herjinger.

Enhanced Fourth Edition

The Nordic countries Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden are frequently considered a distinct group of countries in political science studies. The term Nordic model(s) is sometimes used to describe the policies pursued by these countries. The aim of the book is to examine whether there is one or several Nordic model(s), whether there have been any changes over time in the distinctiveness of the Nordic countries, and when and why the Nordic model(s) emerged. Moreover, in light of recent global economic, legislative and political integration, will the Nordic distinctiveness last? This book examines Nordic models in several key areas of political science, such as state- and nation-building, political parties and party systems, determinants of party choice, representation and parliamentarism, gender and politics, central governmental institutions, regional and local governments, interest intermediation and interest group representation, and welfare state and knowledge regimes. The Nordic Models in Political Science provides an introduction for students and academic readers interested in Nordic politics in general and Nordic models in particular. «This is a thorough and balanced assessment of the 'Nordic model'. It shows that, in spite of change and transnational convergence, distinctive features of the Nordic states have survived, producing substantially different outcomes in important policy fields.» - Michael Keating, Professor of Politics, Universities of Aberdeen and Edinburgh Editor: Oddbjørn Knutsen, Professor at the Department of Political Science, University of Oslo Other contributors: Harald Baldersheim, Einar Berntzen, Karl Hagen Bjurstrøm, Johan Christensen, Tom Christensen, Åse Gornitzka, Knut Heidar, Cathrine Holst, Stein Kuhnle, Axel West Pedersen, Bjørn Erik Rasch, Hilmar Rommetvedt, Lawrence E.
