Die Grundlagen der Morphologie und der Anatomie von Großpilzen werden in diesem Lehrbuch, das auch für interessierte Laien verfasst wurde, allgemeinverständlich dargestellt. Es vermittelt zwischen der natürlichen Anschauung und dem Lehrbuchwissen, aber auch zwischen der akademischen und der populären Mykologie. Dies gelingt den Autoren auf der Basis von Definitionen und Erläuterungen fachsprachlicher Begriffe, untermauert durch naturnahe Illustrationen auf 112 Farbtafeln. Das Buch dient dem allgemeinen Verständnis der komplizierten Eigenheiten von Pilzen, die sich mit versteckter Sexualität, mit abnormen Vermehrungs- und Verbreitungsstrategien und mit Organismen verbindenden Symbiosen und weitgehend fehlender Individualität in vieler Hinsicht von Blütenpflanzen und Tieren unterscheiden.

This thought-provoking book highlights the increasing recognition of the prevalence of neurodisability within criminal justice systems, discussing conditions including intellectual, cognitive and behavioural impairments, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders and traumatic and acquired brain injury. International scholars and practitioners demonstrate the extent and complexity of the neurodisability experience and present practical solutions for criminal justice reform.Examining the growing body of evidence which illustrates the significant over-representation of neurodisability amongst prison and juvenile justice populations, this critical book explores the challenges faced by people with a neurodisability who come into contact with the justice system. These challenges include: difficulty understanding interactions with police, navigating court processes, comprehending sentencing orders, and coping with prison and post-release life, which can lead to repeat victimisation and criminalisation. Overall, this book establishes that justice systems are often unable to meet the specific needs of people with a neurodisability and that there is a significant lack of appropriate support within the community aimed at prevention and diversion.Providing broad interdisciplinary insights, this timely book will prove a vital resource for scholars and students of criminal law, law and society, criminology, neuroscience and social work. It will also be of value to legal practitioners, law enforcement, prison employees and welfare professionals engaged with individuals with a neurodisability.

Although the symbolic and political importance of flags has often been mentioned by scholars of nationalism, there are few in-depth studies of the significance of flags for national identities. This multi-disciplinary collection offers case studies and comparisons of flag history, uses and controversies. This book brings together a dozen scholars, from varying national and disciplinary backgrounds, to offers a cluster of close readings of flags in their social contexts, mostly contemporary, but also historical. Case studies from Denmark, England, Northern Ireland, Norway, Sweden, and the United States explore ways in which flags are contested, stir up powerful emotions, can be commercialised in some contexts but not in others, serve as quasi-religious symbols, and as physical boundary markers; how the same flag can be solemn and formal in one setting, but stand for domestic bliss and informal cultural intimacy in another.

jean Prouvé (1901-1984) was one of the most renowned design engineers of the 20th century. This volume, the second in Birkhäuser s 4-volume edition of Prouvé s Complete Works, covers the period between 1934 and 1944, including such significant works as the "semi-metal" Chair no. 4 and its variations, which went into serial production from 1935 onwards, office furniture for the Parisian Electricity Supply Works and seating for the lecture hall of the École des sciences politiques in Paris. In 1934 Prouvé s workshop commenced production of entirely pre-fabricated sheet metal buildings such as the Flying Club at Buc. One of the triumphs of this period is the Maison du Peuple communal hall in Clichy, an outstanding monument of functionalism and a "hymn to metal and folded sheet". This volume also includes texts of previously unpublished conversations with Prouvé about the Flying Club and Maison du Peuple.

Norman Foster and Renzo Piano invoke his name. For many architects he is a landmark - Jean Prouvé, creator of the metal curtain wall, pioneer in its application and early initiator of industrialised building techniques. His unfailing ability to combine functional engineering achievements with artistic sensitivity commands recognition. The period covered in this latest volume is significant in many respects. The post-war years placed enormous demands on housing and school construction. In his Maxéville factory Prouvé developed pre-fabricated housing, facade panelling, light filtering and other systems on a large scale. He was inspired by the works of the automobile and aeronautics industry, developing new applications for aluminium, which he presented in the 1954 Aluminium Centenary Pavilion. Moreover, Prouvé s furnitures of this period have become valuable collectors items, some of which are now being reissued under licence.

This insightful book investigates the experiences of seven women with autism as they transition from childhood to adulthood, and how they make sense of that journey.Taken from the autobiographies of women including Liane Holliday-Willey and Temple Grandin, these accounts shine a light on issues unique to women with autism. Heather Stone Wodis provides a detailed and thoughtful exploration of their common experiences, and each story offers a new perspective that illuminates the diagnosis from a different angle. This is a fascinating look at how generational differences, such as access to the internet, can provide more avenues toward self-expression, political mobilization, and advocacy. It also explores the idea that, no matter the era, the unyielding support of family and a diagnosis in childhood can help girls with autism transition toward adulthood.

Berührungen: Manchmal sind sie selbstverständlich, manchmal sehr intim. Oft beiläufig, gelegentlich bewusst. Manche nehmen wir kaum wahr und erinnern uns nicht an sie, andere haben für immer eine Bedeutung. Manche sind intensiv oder gehen gar unter die Haut und andere wiederum gehen zu nahe, überschreiten Grenzen. Berührungen können berühren – und Berührungen sind keine »Einbahnstraße«. Berühren wir, werden auch wir berührt und damit unser Dasein. Berühren sucht nach einer Antwort, die wir in der Begegnung finden. Warum braucht der Mensch überhaupt Berührung? Was lernen wir aus der Pandemie, in der Menschen in Pflegeinrichtungen und Sterbende in Kliniken plötzlich keine Nähe und auch keine Berührung mehr erfahren durften? Was passiert, wenn wir emotional zu sehr berührt werden, und ist Abgrenzung oder aber Nähe das beste Rezept, um uns davor zu schützen? Tattoos von Verstorbenen Menschen gehen »unter die Haut«, sind eingeprägt wie die körperlichen Erfahrungen, an die sich selbst Menschen mit Demenz erinnern können. In diesem Leidfaden-Themenheft gehen wir auf »Tuchfühlung«, wenn es um die körperlichen, emotionalen und seelischen Berührungen in unserer täglichen Arbeit geht.

Scientific breeding in the twentieth century greatly accelerated wheat‘s evolution, producing high-yielding varieties that helped avoid famine in many developing countries. Emerging scientific tools hold promise for identifying and tapping new, useful genetic diversity within wheat‘s primary and secondary gene pools and, through genetic engineering, beyond.The book describes generally how policies affect wheat genetic diversity; it looks at historical changes in wheat genetic diversity, as policy and priorities have evolved; it identifies factors that explain changes and differences in spatial diversity; and finally, it analyzes the productivity impacts of changes in diversity. Chapters define various types of crop genetic diversity and ways to measure them, framing the definitions and metrics in the contexts for which they are most relevant.

In a fast-changing world, where the extraction of natural resources is key to development, whilst also creating environmental and social disasters, understanding how landscapes, people and politics are shaped by extraction is crucial. Looking at resource extraction in numerous locations at different stages of development, including North, West and South Africa, India, Kazakhstan and Australia, a broad picture is created, covering coal, natural-gas, gold and cement mining, from corporate to 'artisanal' extraction, from the large to the small scale. The chapters answer the questions: What is ideological about resource extraction? How does extraction transform the physical landscape? And how does the extractive process determine which stakeholders become dominant or marginalised? Contributing to policy debates, Mining Encounters uncovers the tensions, negotiations and disparities between different actors in the extractive industries, including exploiters and those who benefit or are impoverished by resource exploitation.
