Dieses Wörterbuch für den Praktiker umfaßt rund 75.000 englische und amerikanische Begriffe mit den zugehörigen deutschen Bedeutungen. Praktische Probleme der Tribologie können nicht ohne Fachwissen aus den Bereichen des Maschinenbaus, der Schmierung und Schmierstoffkunde, der Werkstoffkunde oder Metallurgie diskutiert werden, es bedarf häufig auch der Terminologie wichtiger anderer Industriezweige, in denen die Technologie zum Einsatz kommt. Die Lebensmittelindustrie oder holzverarbeitende Industrie sind neben dem Maschinenbau beispielhafte Einsatzfelder, aus denen deshalb ausgewählte Fachbegriffe in das Wörterbuch aufgenommen wurden. Für Ingenieure, Chemiker, für den Manager im Kontakt mit internationalen Partnern, beinhaltet das Buch einen weit gefaßten Wortschatz, dessen Auswahl der praktischen Erfahrung des Autors folgt. Produzenten, Händler und Firmenvertreter, die sich mit tribologischer Fachliteratur, Normen, Montageanleitungen und Gebrauchtsanweisungen in englischer Sprache befassen, finden nicht nur Fachtermini, sondern auch andere häufig benötigte Worte, zur Lösung der alltäglichen Aufgaben in der Kommunikation mit internationalen Partnern. Die beiliegende CD-ROM beinhaltet die Inhalte als Textversion; das dafür notwendige Programm Acrobat Reader 5.0 wird mitgeliefert.

Text in German. The Villa Lante in Bagnaia near Viterbo is outstanding among 16th-century Italian gardens. It is not particularly large, but it is the undisputed highlight of this epoch, the heyday of Italian horticulture, not just because it is outstandingly well maintained, but also because of its unique formal qualities and its extremely complex iconographic programme. The present monograph attempts to establish what triggers the intense sense of beauty with which visitors to the gardens are confronted. It is immediately clear that it is essential to analyse the form of the garden -- here the extremely precise treatment of central perspective as a device is of considerable interest -- but close attention has also to be paid to the significance of the individual elements and the connections between them. This examination brings an elaborate accumulation of various sign systems to light, which seem to have the astonishing characteristic of not being entirely reconcilable, indeed they appear to build in contradictions as a basic constant. From this develops a panorama of the late 16th century, presenting the tangled pathways of perception of the gardens in all their complex relations, from the various late Renaissance garden types, via philosophy, the response to antiquity, perception of nature, perspective, harmony, literature, theatre and religion, and on to models of time and the forms it takes. Against this background the garden of the Villa Lante, which belonged to the scholarly cardinal and inquisitor Francesco Gambara, proves to be a difficult -- and perhaps not entirely successful -- balancing act between Renaissance traditions and the thrust of the Counter-Reformation, but showing at the same time, as a kind of 'apotheosis of the artwork', a surprising affinity with the present day.
