Inhalt: "In einem Internat für schwer erziehbare Jugendliche fühlt sich eine neue Schülerin zu einem stattlichen Jungen hingezogen, der zu einer geheimen Clique gefallener Engel gehört. Diese wurden einst auf die Erde verbannt, weil sie sich nicht strikt gegen Luzifer entschieden. Es entwickelt sich eine fluchbeladene Liebesgeschichte, die nach dem Willen des Himmels tragisch enden müsste. [...]" [filmdienst.de]

Inhalt: This consolidation of Wales as a regional/national space of social and economic governance, with increasingly sharp territorial definition has refocused attention on the dynamics of spatial difference within the country. The authors of the book analyse the impact of the changes and the way the Welsh localities stack up against one another, with important conclusions for the economy, policy and governance.

Originaltitel: The curious case of Benjamin Button

Inhalt: Benjamin Button ist kein Kind wie alle anderen: Irgendwann begreift seine Familie, dass er rückwärts altert. - Fitzgeralds Erzählung aus dem Jahr 1922 wurde berühmt durch die Kinofassung. 'Der seltsame Fall des Benjamin Button' erzählt auf so skurrile wie anrührende Weise von der Vergänglichkeit des Lebens.

Inhalt: This volume focuses on the etiology and morphogenesis of congenital heart diseases. It reviews in detail the early development and differentiation of the heart, and later morphologic events of the cardiovascular system, covering a wide range of topics such as gene functions, growth factors, transcription factors and cellular interactions that are implicated in cardiac morphogenesis and congenital heart disease. This book also presents recent advances in stem cell and cell sheet tissue engineering technologies which have the potential to provide novel in vitro disease models and to generate regenerative paradigms for cardiac repair and regeneration. This is the ideal resource for physician scientists and investigators looking for updates on recent investigations on the origins of congenital heart disease and potential future therapies.

Inhalt: "This book is free to download in PDF and EPub formats.Is certification the solution? Can it deliver urgently needed improvements to complex problems like deforestation and the exploitation of people? In this controversial new book, Scott Poynton, founder of The Forest Trust, makes a compelling case for a new approach to social and environmental problems that goes "beyond certification".Certification emerged from the 1992 Rio Earth Summit amidst great hope. Since then, despite a proliferation of certification schemes in twenty-five industry sectors, the destructive and irresponsible exploitation of natural and human resources has grown still worse.Beyond Certification reviews the positive aspects of certification, of which there are many, but argues that we can no longer afford to gloss over its failures.The book offers an alternative model, VT-TV, based on Values, Transparency, Transformation and Verification, which the author has been exploring and implementing with over 70 companies and industries around the world.These companies are transforming the story of the raw materials they use - wood, palm oil, pulp and paper, stone, charcoal, soy, beef, sugar, dairy, rubber, coffee, cocoa and coconut. Mining companies are also exploring this approach, making decisions aligned with fundamental values and what they know to be right.The results? Trust is emerging as former combatants awake to the importance of working together. Guns have been removed from forests, land set aside for protection, worker rights and conditions improved and long-standing conflicts have been resolved as people confront their legacies.Beyond Certification does not claim that this VT-TV model is the only solution. Rather, it shows how new and seemingly radical thinking can catalyze positive change. Included: the limits of roundtable certification illustrated with real, practical examples; the intricacies of the change process - how companies move from destructive to more responsible practices; how to implement more holistic, economically effective, durable systems to better protect people and the environment."--Provided by publisher.
