Content: Long description: Eine andere Welt ist nicht nur möglich, sie ist auch absolut notwendig. Die globalen Probleme des Klimawandels, der Armut, sozialen Ungleichheit oder der Finanzkrise erfordern ein Umdenken und veränderte Formen des Zusammenlebens. Viele Bewegungen, Initiativen und Gruppierungen suchen aktuell schon nach alternativen Wegen. Ihnen allen gemeinsam ist das Streben nach einer neuen Kunst, miteinander zu leben (con-vivere). Konvivialismus bedeutet das Ausloten von Möglichkeiten, wie jenseits der Wachstumsgesellschaft ein Zusammenleben möglich sein kann, wie Sozialität, Konflikt und Individualität aufeinander bezogen werden und wie ökologisch und sozial nachhaltige Formen demokratischen Lebens ausschauen können. Eine neue politische Philosophie erscheint daher dringend geboten, und das weltweit diskutierte Manifest renommierter Autoren stellt als Minimalforderung klar: Eine solche neue Philosophie und Kunst des Zusammenlebens muss den Primat des Ökonomischen brechen und sich auf eine gemeinsame Menschheit und auf den Wert der Individualität zugleich berufen. Herausgegeben von Frank Adloff und Claus Leggewie in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Käte Hamburger Kolleg / Centre for Global Cooperation Research Duisburg. Website zum Buch: www.diekonvivialisten.de.

Content: Long description: Global phenomenons like climate change, poverty, terrorism, or financial crises suggest thinking about changed forms of coexistence and perception. Many movements, initiatives, and groups are currently searching for alternative ways. They all share a yearning for a new art of living together (con-vivere). Convivialism means exploring possibilities for people to provide for each other and at the same time take care of nature, albeit without avoiding legitimate conflicts. The globally discussed manifesto by renowned authors clarifies: This can only succeed within a social order that invokes a joint humanity, principles of joint socialization, the principle of individuality, and acceptance of creative opposition.

In eine gerechtere Zukunft, ein besseres Leben, ein freieres Leben.« Plastic Bomb, 92 (2015) »Konvivialismus ist ein Versuch, den vielen verschiedenen Ansätzen und Bewegungen einen Namen zu geben, denen gemein ist, dass sie dem maßlosen Wachstum und Eigennutz etwas entgegensetzen.« Misereor Dossier, 3 (2015) »Der Text ist auf so selbstverständliche Weise richtig.« Wolfgang Storz, WOZ, 19.03.2015 »Das Manifest beweist durch seinen Entstehungsprozess, dass unterschiedliche Ansichten nicht zwangsläufig zu Streit oder Krieg führen müssen und große Ziele und Herausforderungen es schaffen können, eher die Gemeinsamkeiten herauszustellen und sich gegenseitig zu befruchten.« Christina Stange, Oya, 1/2 (2015) Ein überaus positiver Ansatz.« Heipe Weiss, Strandgut, 12 (2014) »Kurz gesagt, 'Das konvivialistische Manifest' berichtet, ein gutes Zusammenleben aller sei nicht zu schön, um wahr zu sein, und damit man die Gründe und Worte dafür zur Hand hat, raten wir zu.« Elisabeth von Thadden, DIE ZEIT, 44 (2014) »Eine der wichtigsten Initiativen des Jahres. Eine Muss-Lektüre.« ChangeX, 10 (2014) »Man sollte das 'konvivialistische Manifest' [...] in erster Linie als Hilfeschrei lesen.

Content: Long description: »To Be Unfree« is a collection of essays investigating how political unfreedom has been and can be articulated within the republican tradition of political thought. The book combines a theoretical discussion of how freedom and its opposites have been conceptualized in the republican tradition with a broader perspective on this tradition's impact on the representation of unfreedom in Western literature and cultural history. It thus complicates our understanding of what it means to be unfree and unveils a series of distinctions which also shape our modern notions of freedom.

Content: The Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) is the ultimate tool to see and measure structures on the nanoscale and to probe their elemental composition and electronic structure with sub-nanometer spatial resolution. Recent technological breakthroughs have revolutionized our understanding of materials via use of the TEM, and it promises to become a significant tool in understanding biological and bio-molecular systems such as viruses and DNA molecules. This book is a practical guide for scientists who need to use the TEM as a tool to answer questions about physical and chemical phenomena on the nanoscale.

Content: The study of dark matter, in both astrophysics and particle physics, has emerged as one of the most active and exciting topics of research in recent years. This book reviews the history behind the discovery of missing mass (or unseen mass) in the universe, and ties this into the proposed extensions to the Standard Model of Particle Physics (such as Supersymmetry), which were being proposed within the same time frame. This book is written as an introduction to these problems at the forefront of astrophysics and particle physics, with the goal of conveying the physics of dark matter to beginning undergraduate majors in scientific fields. The book goes on to describe existing and upcoming experiments and techniques, which will be used to detect dark matter either directly or indirectly.

Content: This is a brief introduction to the ideas and phenomena that occur in the nonlinear optics of photonic crystals and metamaterials. These are illustrated within the context of simple models which provide an easy understanding of the physical phenomena that are important in these two rapidly developing areas of nano-photonic technology. An introduction and discussion of some of the basic principles of linear and nonlinear optical nano-systems are given. The focus is on engineered optical systems that have been of recent interest in physics, engineering, and applied mathematics for their opto-electronic applications. These include photonic crystals and meta-materials, and in the following discussions the operating principles of photonic crystals and meta-materials are outlined.

Content: "This book provides a fresh, photon-based description of modern molecular spectroscopy and photophysics, with applications drawn from across chemistry, biology, physics and materials science. The concise and detailed approach includes some of the most recent developments, dispensing with old-fashioned treatments of theory and instrumentation. Instead, the focus is on how light absorption and scattering occur in molecules, and what happens to the energy the molecules can acquire. The author draws upon his extensive experience of teaching these subjects at university level. Departing from the entrenched pattern of most textbooks, his book provides a modern and amenable treatment, directly meeting the needs of today's scientist. The text is fresh and lively, interspersed with vivid original figures, and there are numerous worked examples, illustrating the principles with real-world examples."

Content: This book is a concise introduction to the key concepts of classical field theory for beginning graduate students and advanced undergraduate students who wish to study the unifying structures and physical insights provided by classical field theory without dealing with the additional complication of quantization. In that regard, there are many important aspects of field theory that can be understood without quantizing the fields. These include the action formulation, Galilean and relativistic invariance, traveling and standing waves, spin angular momentum, gauge invariance, subsidiary conditions, fluctuations, spinor and vector fields, conservation laws and symmetries, and the Higgs mechanism, all of which are often treated briefly in a course on quantum field theory.
