The cosmology of Johannes Kepler remains a mystery. On the one hand, Kepler’s speculations on spiritual faculties are seen as the remnants of Renaissance philosophy. On the other, his comparison of the cosmos to a clock summons the mechanical metaphor that shaped modern science. This book explores the inseparable connections between Kepler’s vitalistic views and his more enduring accomplishments in astronomy. The key argument is that Kepler’s ‘celestial biology’ served as a bridge between his revolutionary astronomy and other ‘less scientific’ interests, particularly astrology. Kepler's Cosmological Synthesis sheds new light on one of the foundational figures of the Scientific Revolution. By uncovering a new form of coherence in Kepler’s world picture, it traces the unlikely intersections of mechanism and vitalism that transformed the fabric of the heavens.

En este número se reúnen nueve artículos inéditos sobre aspectos del relato breve (cuento y miccorrelato) en la literatura española e hispanoamericana del último cuarto del siglo XX. Encabezan el volúmen tres colaboraciones, agrupadas juntas sea por ser de orientación esencialmente teórica e histórica, sea por presentar una visión de conjunto de un género en un país. Los seis artículos que siguen son comentarios a obras particulares. Los nueve trabajos son representativos al constituir un conjunto caracterizado por la variedad de enfoques y métodos de aproximación a obras de doce destacados escritores e escritoras actuales (sin contar a los que se citan de manera lateral), de España, Argentina, Perú, México y Venezuela.

Sir Patrick Moore, CBE, FRS is without a doubt the world’s most widely known and respected of broadcasters on astronomy. His BBC-TV program, The Sky at Night, remains the longest-running TV program in the history of broadcasting. For more than three decades The Amateur Astronomer has inspired generations of amateur astronomers. Almost uniquely, Patrick Moore has written a book that is useful to astronomers at all levels, from beginner to expert. Appendices – completely updated in this new edition – provide extensive star, lunar and planetary maps, along with a vast amount of data and information that makes this book an essential for every amateur astronomer’s library.

Concrete and stone seem made to last forever. But the fact is they develop problems. It is not always as dramatic as the collapse of a section of the roof of the Paris Charles de Gaulle airport in 2004. Gradual changes also occur that may compromise the appearance and structural soundness of buildings constructed with these materials. These changes can be created by efflorescence, thermal stress, weathering, leakage and corrosion. This book explains how to avoid typical kinds of failure. With this in mind, it systematically analyzes cases of damage in contemporary international architecture. It also offers strategies for minimizing the risk of damage. Examples include such high-visibility structures as Finlandia Hall in Helsinki, Parco della Musica in Rome and Vontz Center for Molecular Studies in Cincinnatti. In eight chapters, typical kinds of damage are explained and illustrated with examples. Beton und Stein scheinen für die Ewigkeit gemacht. Dennoch kommt es hier zu Bauschäden. Nicht immer sind sie so dramatisch wie der Deckeneinsturz im Terminal des Flughafen Paris-Roissy 2004. Es gibt auch schleichende Veränderungen, die Erscheinungsbild und Statik von Beton- oder Steingebäuden beeinträchtigen können. Dazu gehören Ausblühungen, thermische Auswirkungen, Materialunverträglichkeiten, Korrosion oder massive Krafteinwirkung. Dieses Buch zeigt, wie sich typische Schäden vermeiden lassen. Zu diesem Zweck analysiert es systematisch Schadensfälle in der zeitgenössischen internationalen Architektur. Ebenso werden Strategien vorgestellt, mit denen sich das Schadensrisiko minimieren lässt. Zu den Beispielen gehören so bekannte Bauten wie die Finlandia Hall in Helsinki, Renzo Pianos Parco della Musica in Rom oder Vontz Center for Molecular Studies in Cincinnatti. In insgesamt acht Kapiteln werden typische Schäden erklärt und dann mit Beispielen illustriert. This book explains how to avoid typical kinds of failure. With this in mind, it systematically analyzes cases of damage in contemporary international architecture. It also offers strategies for minimizing the risk of damage.

De laatste 50 jaar investeerde het Westen 3000 miljard euro in ontwikkelingssamenwerking. Vele problemen in de derde wereld werden er krachtdadig mee aangepakt. Ondertussen dringen steeds meer landen en organisaties zich op als ontwikkelingswerkers. China, India en stichtingen als de Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Of bedrijven, vakbonden, ziekenfondsen, scholen en gemeenten die hun eigen projecten opzetten? Kan iedereen ontwikkelingswerker worden? Wie bepaalt wat kan en niet kan? Welke rol is weggelegd voor de ontwikkelingslanden zelf? Wie zegt wat goede of slechte ontwikkelingshulp is? Is het een vrije markt waar iedereen mag doen wat hij wil? Een markt zonder spelregels, met veel concurrentie en weinig samenwerking? Dit boek maakt een balans op van 50 jaar ontwikkelingssamenwerking en biedt een overzicht van de spelers, van de kansen en valkuilen, van het lukken en mislukken
