Explore legal issues that often hinder the work of child welfare practitioners!

This book provides a general overview of syngas technologies as well as an in-depth analysis of the steam reforming process. Syngas is a mixture of hydrogen and carbon oxides which can be made from hydrocarbons, coal and biomass. It is an important intermediate in the chemical industry for manufacture of ammonia, methanol and other petrochemicals as well as hydrogen for refineries and fuel cells. Syngas is playing a growing role in the energy sector, because it can be converted into a number of important energy carriers and fuels. Syngas catalysis creates new options and flexibility in the complex energy network. The steam reforming process is the main technology today for manufacture of syngas. It is a complex intern-mingling of catalysis and heat transfer with restrictions caused by secondary phenomena such as carbon formation. Many of the principles are applicable for other gasification technologies of growing importance. Concepts of Syngas Preparation aims to provide a comprehensiv...

Jacob und Wilhelm Grimm - wohl kaum ein Brüderpaar ist so berühmt in Deutschland und der ganzen Welt wie sie. Man verbindet die beiden sofort mit der Sammlung und Herausgabe der "Grimmschen Märchen". Dabei gehören sie vor allem zu den bedeutendsten Gelehrten des 19. Jahrhunderts. Sie zählen zu den Mitbegründern der deutschen Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaft sowie der literarischen Volkskunde. Allein ihr "Deutsches Wörterbuch" ist bis auf den heutigen Tag ein Meilenstein. Die Grimms waren aber keine Wissenschaftler im Elfenbeinturm, sondern auch politisch aktive Staatsbürger mit außerordentlicher Zivilcourage. Dr. Ralf Breslau hat den schriftlichen Grimm-Nachlaß für die Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin erschlossen. In seiner repräsentativen Auswahl stellt er die vielfältigen Facetten des Lebens und Schaffens der beiden so einmaligen Persönlichkeiten vor, die durch den lebendigen Vortrag von Hans-Jürgen Schatz erlebbar werden.

David Mamet's interest in anti-Semitism is not limited to the modern face of an ancient hatred but encompasses as well the ways in which many Jews have internalized that hatred. Using the metaphor of the Wicked Son at the Passover seder (the child who asks, "What does this story mean to you?") Mamet confronts what he sees as an insidious predilection among some Jews to exclude themselves from the equation and to seek truth and meaning anywhere--in other religions, political movements, mindless entertainment--but in Judaism itself. He also explores the ways in which the Jewish tradition has long been and still remains the Wicked Son in the eyes of the world. Written with the searing honesty and verbal brilliance that is the hallmark of Mamet's work, The Wicked Son is a powerfully thought-provoking look at one of the most destructive and tenacious forces in contemporary life.
