Snow avalanches can have highly destructive consequences in developed areas. Each year, avalanche catastrophes occur in mountain regions around the globe and cause unnecessary fatalities and severe damage to buildings and infrastructure. In some mountainous regions, especially in the European Alps, technical avalanche defence structures are built to increase the level of safety for inhabited areas; however, new infrastructure such as roads, railway lines and tourist facilities cause new risk...

Polymers are huge macromolecules composed of repeating structural units. While polymer in popular usage suggests plastic, the term actually refers to a large class of natural and synthetic materials. Due to the extraordinary range of properties accessible, polymers have come to play an essential and ubiquitous role in everyday life – from plastics and elastomers on the one hand to natural biopolymers such as DNA and proteins on the other hand. The study of polymer science begins with...

El Reino de Chile se caracterizó por la precariedad material y de la vida cultural en general. Este rasgo nos devuelve una producción escritural más alejada de la influencia cortesana, y aun de lo urbano, y más marcada por lo contingente y lo urgente, lo que en sí mismo constituye una huella identitaria.

Mit dem Übergang von der industriellen zur digitalen Kultur kommen neue Bildmedien auf – aber sie entstehen nicht aus dem Nichts. Sie bilden sich allmählich heraus, in einem komplexen Wechselspiel von technologischen und sozialen, ästhetischen und epistemologischen Faktoren. Die Beiträge des Bandes widmen sich diesem Wandel der Bildformen, der im Zuge der Digitalisierung eingeleitet wurde, und reflektieren ihn aus verschiedenen medienhistorischen und medientheoretischen Perspektiven.

Wie wurden die kirchlichen Feste zur Zeit des letzten Krieges und in der Nachkriegszeit gefeiert? Unter dieser Fragestellung haben sich sieben Frauen und zwei Männer in einem einjährigen Schreibprojekt des Bistums Limburg an ihre Kindheit erinnert und ihre Geschichten aufgeschrieben. Entstanden sind sehr unterschiedliche Texte: ernste und heitere, fromme und eigenwillige. Eine spannende Lektüre, die zum eigenen Nachdenken und zum Gespräch in der Gruppe anregt.
