Описание: Examines the ideological development of American democratic thought in the context of settler colonialism, a distinct form of colonialism aimed at the appropriation of Native land rather than the exploitation of Native labour. In its focus on the disavowal of Native dispossession in democratic thought, the book provides a new perspective on the problematic relationship between race and democracy.
Описание: Besides the association of fungal plant pathogens infecting ornamental palms, harbouring any of earlier mentioned or other fungal species (capable of causing certain diseases in human beings or pets) by the ornamental palms cultivation (either grown indoor or outdoor) is an important area of research to be explored and addressed thoroughly.

Chapter 2: Sustainability Swedish-style
o Sweden presents a unique platform for sustainability leadership (historical, political context, world-class environmental and social leadership; that the face of the youth climate movement, Greta Thunberg, is Swedish is no coincidence).
o Why Scania, a 108-year-old company, and others with similar deep roots in Swedish values (i.e., Electrolux, Stora Enso, Ericsson) are informed by their history but agile enough to adapt to current and future sustainability challenges.
o A smorgasbord of CEO interviews provides multiple perspectives on what Sweden is doing right
Chapter 3: Finding the core
o Identify the areas where you can make the greatest sustainability gains and impacts by understanding all parts of your value chain (supply chain, operations, sales and customers, and end of life/disposal)
o In 3.0 of the model, accelerate transformation by learning how to change the ecosystem and bring on board not just your customers, but your customers' customers.
o Business benefits and credibility derive from integrating sustainability into the product and portfolio
o There's no such thing as a sustainability strategy, there is only business strategy
o Seize the power of unexpected alliances through the ecosystem approach (3.0)
Chapter 4: It's all about the sales
o Embedding sustainability in the product or service makes it part of the company's DNA, not least engaging your sales force.
o A sustainability transformation starts and ends with your customers - the fastest way to get traction is to get them interested
o Learn how to measure and incentivize results and create demand for your most sustainable products
Chapter 5: Impact is not only measured by profit
o Why non-financial metrics matter and why you need science-based targets
o Defining smart KPIs: the 100 best KPIs to measure sustainability performance
o What makes a good KPI and a less good KPI
o Report on your performance and acknowledge the challenges
Chapter 6: Get ahead of the curve
o The days of free polluting and hidden lobbying are over; leaders are expected to provide real solutions to sustainability challenges

Описание: For courses in Human Physiology. Move beyond memorisation: Prepare students for tomorrow's challenges Human Physiology: An Integrated Approach is the #1 best-selling 1-semester human physiology text world-wide. The 8th Edition engages students in developing a deeper understanding of human physiology by guiding them to think critically and equipping them to solve real-world problems.
Updates, such as new Try It activities and detailed teaching suggestions in the new Ready-to-Go Teaching Modules, help students learn and apply mapping skills, graphing skills, and data interpretation skills. The text reflects Dr. Silverthorn's active learning style of instruction and builds upon the thorough integration of "big picture" themes with up-to-date cellular and molecular physiology topics that have always been the foundation of her approach.

Liquid multiphase processes represent a promising option for realizing novel, efficient, and sustainable production processes, as required for the transformation towards climate-neutral manufacturing processes. This volume presents the results obtained over twelve years in the DFG-funded collaborative project Transregio 63 “Integrated Chemical Processes in Liquid Multiphase Systems”. In an interdisciplinary approach to the design and operation of such processes, essential principles of Green Chemistry are realized, such as using long-chain olefins as model representatives of renewable raw materials, highly effi cient catalysts, and green solvents, linked with process optimization to improve energy and material efficiency. Experts from different fields addressed all steps of the development process, from the description of the reactions on the molecular level via thermodynamics and the design of efficient separation processes to the operation of entire miniplants for liquid multiphase production processes. Thus, the complete development chain from the first reaction-related investigations in the laboratory to the technological realization in miniplants with model-based control is demonstrated. Numerous methodological innovations are proposed and validated using several innovative phase systems (thermomorphic multiphase systems, microemulsion systems, Pickering emulsions) and homogeneously catalyzed reactions. Engineers and chemists from the chemical industry as well as advanced students and researchers will get valuable insights into the physico-chemical phenomena in chemical multiphase processes and benefit from recommendations concerning methods for the selection of phase systems and rapid model-based process development.
