The Iron(III) Thiocyanate Reaction - Kevin C. De Berg - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The Iron(III) Thiocyanate Reaction - Kevin C. De Berg - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This Brief presents an historical investigation into the reaction between ferric ions and thiocyanate ions, which has been viewed in different ways throughout the last two centuries. Historically, the reaction was used in chemical analysis and to highlight the nature of chemical reactions, the laws of chemistry, models and theories of chemistry, chemical nomenclature, mathematics and data analysis, and instrumentation, which are important ingredients of what one might call the nature of chemistry. Using the history of the iron(III) thiocyanate reaction as a basis, the book''s main objective is to explore how chemistry develops its own knowledge base; how it assesses the reliability of that base; and how some important tools of the trade have been brought to bear on a chemical reaction to achieve understanding, a worthwhile goal of any historical investigation.

Operations and Basic Processes in Ironmaking - Jose Ignacio Verdeja Gonzalez - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Operations and Basic Processes in Ironmaking - Jose Ignacio Verdeja Gonzalez - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This textbook explores the production of pig iron, covering the first part of the steel production process, known as ironmaking. Divided into seven chapters, it discusses the following topics: raw materials for steel production (coking coal, iron ore, slag-forming agents and fluxes, scrap, ferroalloys and pre-reduced materials), the sintering process (used to prepare the burden for the blast furnace), the pelletizing process (used to agglomerate the fine iron ores), the production of coke (the main reductant in the ironmaking process), the production of iron by reduction with gas (an alternative to the blast furnace) and the production of pig iron in the blast furnace (which is used in more than 65% of steel production worldwide). Specially conceived for graduate and undergraduate courses, this book is based on more than 30 years of teaching experience in courses for undergraduates, graduates (master and Ph.D.) and industry professionals (technicians). It explores the recent trends in the iron- and steelmaking process (which might used in the future production of steel), and features 55 worked exercises and real-world problems to complement of the theoretical sections of the text.

Tales from the Desert Borderland - Lawrence J. Taylor - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Tales from the Desert Borderland - Lawrence J. Taylor - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Taylor brings an ethnographer''s eye, ear, and many years of experience to this fictional portrait of life along the US/Mexico desert border. In these linked short stories, readers are taken on a wild ride from San Diego to Nogales, into Mexican and Chicano neighborhoods, failed spas and defunct mining towns, rambling Native American reservations and besieged Wildlife Refuges. Along the way they will share the conflicts, calamities, and occasional triumph of an engaging cast of characters. While these tales treat such familiar border themes as drug- and people-smuggling or hybrid and conflicting cultures and identities, they do so with a literary flair that revels in the rich diversity of border life as well as in its ambiguity, ambivalence, irony and often unexpected humor.

Sex, Class, and the Theatrical Archive - Alan Sikes - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Sex, Class, and the Theatrical Archive - Alan Sikes - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

In Sex, Class and the Theatrical Archive: Erotic Economies , Alan Sikes explores the intersection of struggles over sex and class identities in politicized performances during key revolutionary moments in modern European history. The book includes discussions of sodomitical closet dramas from the decades surrounding the English Glorious Revolution of 1688; the performances of ''Tribades and Amazons'', public women of the French Revolution; the ''homophilic elitism'' in the early plays of Brecht and Hasenclever from the years just before and after the German Revolution that marked the founding of the short-lived Weimar Republic; and the utopian conception of a Soviet ''New Woman'' set to take the stage after the Russian Revolution of 1917. Throughout, Sikes invokes the differences between past and present politicized performances in order to cast our own political imaginings into sharper and more critical relief.

Intellectuals and Fascism in Interwar Romania - Cristina A. Bejan - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Intellectuals and Fascism in Interwar Romania - Cristina A. Bejan - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

In 1930s Bucharest, some of the country''s most brilliant young intellectuals converged to form the Criterion Association. Bound by friendship and the dream of a new, modern Romania, their members included historian Mircea Eliade, critic Petru Comarnescu, Jewish playwright Mihail Sebastian and a host of other philosophers and artists. Together, they built a vibrant cultural scene that flourished for a few short years, before fascism and scandal splintered their ranks. Cristina A. Bejan asks how the far-right Iron Guard came to eclipse the appeal of liberalism for so many of Romania''s intellectual elite, drawing on diaries, memoirs and other writings to examine the collision of culture and extremism in the interwar years. The first English-language study of Criterion and the most thorough to date in any language, this book grapples with the complexities of Romanian intellectual life in the moments before collapse.

Chief Police Officers’ Stories of Legitimacy - Ian Shannon - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Chief Police Officers’ Stories of Legitimacy - Ian Shannon - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book adds to knowledge about chief police officers in England and Wales by exploring their understandings of the right of police to exercise power. Their beliefs, motivations, backgrounds, and cultures are examined. Light is cast on how they perceive power, coercion, control, policing purpose, gendered understandings, protecting people, vulnerability, policing by consent, discretion, operational independence, law and the oversight and political direction (or governance), and accountability of police. Chief officers used three legitimating narratives based on: protecting people - particularly the most vulnerable - policing by consent, and law and the oversight and political direction of police. These accounts are assessed. Damaged processes of police governance that risk undermining police leadership and legitimacy are revealed. Critically, chief officers'' understandings of legitimacy are found to be confused, conflicted, and, above all, convenient in supporting them in asserting a privileged position from which they can pursue their preferences for the use of power.

Transhumanism as a New Social Movement - James Michael Macfarlane - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Transhumanism as a New Social Movement - James Michael Macfarlane - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book explores Technological Human Enhancement Advocacy through ethnographically inspired participant observation across a range of sites. James Michael MacFarlane argues that such advocacy is characterized by ''Techno-centrism,'' a belief grounded in today''s world while being also future-oriented and drawn from the imagination. This blurring of ''real'' and ''imagined'' futures borrows from the materialist grounding of the scientific worldview, while granting extended license to visions for technology as an enabler of forward-facing action, which include reviving humanist ideals associated with the modernization project. While Techno-centrism is arguably most pronounced in transhumanism-where it is acted-out in extreme, almost hyperbolic ways-it reflects more generally held, deep-seeded concerns around the future of science, technology and human self-identity in the new millennium. Far from being new, these emerging social forms capture unresolved ambivalences which have long cast a shadow over late-modern society and culture.

The Cinematic Superhero as Social Practice - Sara Reilly - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The Cinematic Superhero as Social Practice - Sara Reilly - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book analyzes the cinematic superhero as social practice. The study''s critical context brings together psychoanalysis and restorative and reflective nostalgia as a way of understanding the ideological function of superhero fantasy. It explores the origins of cinematic superhero fantasy from antecedents in myth and religion, to twentieth-century comic book, to the cinematic breakthrough with Superman (1978). The authors then focus on Spider-Man as reflective response to Superman''s restorative nostalgia, and read MCU''s overarching narrative from Iron Man to End Game in terms of the concurrent social, political, and environmental conditions as a world in crisis. Zornado and Reilly take up Wonder Woman and Black Panther as self-conscious attempts to reflect on gender and race in restorative superhero fantasy, and explore Christopher Nolan''s Dark Knight trilogy as a meditation on the need for authoritarian fascism. The book concludes with Logan, Wonder Woman 1984, and Amazon Prime''s The Boys as distinctly reflective fantasy narratives critical of the superhero fantasy phenomenon.

Reporting Palestine-Israel in British Newspapers - Nadia R. Sirhan - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Reporting Palestine-Israel in British Newspapers - Nadia R. Sirhan - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book examines the portrayal of the Palestinian-Israeli ''conflict'' by looking at the language used in its reporting and how this can, in turn, influence public opinion. The book explores how language use helps frame an event to elicit a particular interpretation from the reader and how this can be manipulated to introduce bias. Sirhan begins the book by examining the history of the ''conflict'', and the many persistent myths that surround it. She analyses how five events in the ''conflict'' (two in which the Palestinians are victims, two in which the Israelis are victims, and Operation Cast Lead) are reported in five British newspapers: The Daily Mail , The Guardian , The Independent , The Daily Telegraph , and The Times . By looking at these events across a range of newspapers, the book investigates differences in the way that the media report each side, before exploring what factors motivate these differences - including issues of bias, censorship, lobbying, and propaganda.

Global Forest Governance and Climate Change - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This edited collection assesses governance in forestry programmes and projects, including REDD+ governance. It examines political representation, participation and decentralisation in forest governance, providing insight as to how forest governance arrangements can be responsive to the socio-economic interests of local people and communities who live adjacent to and depend on forests. Global Forest Governance and Climate Change argues that inclusive complementary representation of local communities is required for strong participatory processes and democratic decentralisation of forest governance. Responsiveness to local people’s socio-economic interests in forestry initiatives require paying attention to not just the hosting of participatory meetings and activities, but also to the full cast of appointed, self-authorized, and elected representative agents that stand, speak, and act for local people. This book will be of interest to students and academicsacross the fields of climate change governance, forestry, development studies, and political economy. It will also be a useful resource for policy makers and practitioners responsible for forestry and climate change initiatives.
