European Yearbook of International Economic Law 2018 (European Yearbook of International Economic Law #9)
by Markus Krajewski Jörg Philipp Terhechte Marc Bungenberg Andreas R. Ziegler Christian J. TamsVolume 9 of the EYIEL focusses on natural resources law understood as a special area of international economic law. In light of increasing conflicts over access to and the use of natural resources and of their impact on political, social and environmental aspects, the contributions of this volume analyse to which extent international economic law can contribute to the sustainable exploitation, management and distribution of natural resources. The volume collects contributions on general principles of natural resources law, the importance of natural resources for trade, investment and European economic law as well as analyses of particular sectors and areas including fracking, timber, space and deep seabed mining and natural resources in the arctic region.In its section on regional developments, EYIEL 9 addresses two regional integration systems which are usually not at the centre of public interest, but which deserve all the more attention due to their special relations with Europe: The Eurasian Economic Union and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). Further EYIEL sections address recent WTO and investment case law as well as developments at the IMF. The volume also contains review essays of important recent books in international economic law and other aspects of international law which are connected to international economic relations.The chapter "Sovereignty, Ownership and Consent in Natural Resource Contracts: From Concepts to Practice" by Lorenzo Cotula is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license via link.springer.com.

Supraleitung: Grundlagen und Anwendungen
by Werner Buckel Reinhold KleinerSupraleitung Seit mehr als 50 Jahren das maßgebliche deutschsprachige Lehrbuch zur Supraleitung Supraleitung, also das Verschwinden des elektrischen Widerstands in Materialien unterhalb einer kritischen Temperatur, ist längst kein Kuriosum mehr, sondern ein Phänomen, das zahlreiche Anwendungen gefunden hat, etwa zur Erzeugung und Detektion von Magnetfeldern, in der Sensorik (SQUIDs), zur zerstörungsfreien Materialprüfung, in Energietransport und -umwandlung und in der magnetischen Energiespeicherung. Die achte Auflage des Standard-Lehrbuchs zur Supraleitung folgt dem bewährten Ansatz, das physikalische Phänomen der Supraleitung in seinen zahlreichen Facetten möglichst anschaulich und ohne allzu viel mathematischen Ballast zu erklären. Ausgehend von einem Überblick über die wichtigsten, zum Verständnis benötigen quantenmechanischen Grundlagen behandelt das Buch die unterschiedlichen Supraleiter-Materialklassen, etwa die metallischen Supraleiter, Kuprate und Eisenpniktide. Die Schwerpunkte liegen dabei auf den Eigenschaften, der Herstellung und der Stabilität dieser Materialien. Die folgenden Kapitel beleuchten die Erklärungsmodelle der Supraleitung, die Thermodynamik des supraleitenden Zustands sowie dessen Zusammenbrechen. Ausführlich geht das Buch auf die für den praktischen Nutzen so wichtigen Josephson-Kontakte ein. Das letzte Kapitel widmet sich den zahlreichen Anwendungen der Supraleitung, zum Beispiel supraleitende Kabel, in der Kernspintomographie, der Kernfusion, der SQUID-Sensorik sowie der Mikroelektronik. Für die Neuauflage wurde das Buch vollständig überarbeitet und mit Elementen angereichert, die das Verständnis fördern und das Lernen erleichtern wie etwa Kapiteleinführungen, Exkurse zur Messmethodik, mehr durchgerechnete Beispiele, Boxen zur Vertiefung weiterführender Aspekte und Kapitelzusammenfassungen.

Was wir von der Welt wissen sollten
by Jens BottDas Buch zum Mitreden in aktuellen Debatten in Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft Der Wunsch, die Welt verstehen zu wollen, ist so alt wie die Menschheit; wir suchen nach Erklärungen, benötigen Halt und Orientierung. Aus Annahmen und Überzeugungen, die uns plausibel erscheinen, formen wir unsere Weltbilder, Vorstellungen über die Beschaffenheit des Universums. Die jeweils herrschenden Vorstellungen haben sich mit der Zeit allerdings verändert. Bis zum Ende des Mittelalters lagen die Dinge noch einfach: Für die Menschen in Europa etwa war die Bibel die Quelle aller Wahrheit, ein universelles Sachbuch, das die Entstehung des Universums, die Artenvielfalt und den Ursprung des Sprachengewirrs erklärte, aber auch moralische Richtlinien vorgab. Mit der Zeit hat sich eine Reihe zentraler Theorien und Ideen herausgeschält, die den heutigen Wissenschafts-und Politikbetrieb prägen. Gleich, ob wir sie nun persönlich für richtig halten oder nicht, haben diese herrschenden Meinungen Einfluss auf unser tägliches Leben – und das mehr, als uns oftmals bewusst ist. Im ersten Teil des Buches (Die Natur) werden nach Darstellung der Grundlagendisziplin Mathematik zunächst die physikalischen Naturgesetze dargelegt, um dann zu zeigen, wie sich aus ihnen die Chemie und aus der Chemie die Biologie ergibt. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Newtons Mechanik, die Relativitätstheorie, die Quantenphysik und Darwins Evolutionstheorie. Das abschließende Kapitel erzählt die Naturgeschichte vom Urknall bis zum Erscheinen des Homo sapiens und fasst dabei die wesentlichen Aussagen noch einmal zusammen. Das erste Kapitel des zweiten Teils (Der Mensch) beschäftigt sich mit dem menschlichen Bewusstsein und leitet aus einer naturwissenschaftlichen Perspektive zu den geisteswissenschaftlichen Kapiteln Sprache (Ausdrucksform des Bewusstseins), Philosophie (Geschichte des Denkens), Gesellschaft (Theorie des Zusammenlebens) und Ökonomie (Umgang mit knappen Ressourcen) über. Das abschließende Kapitel erzählt die Menschheitsgeschichte bis heute, wobei wiederum die zentralen Aussagen noch einmal zusammengefasst werden.
