The Rise of Modern Philosophy: A New History of Western Philosophy Volume 3(PDF)
Sir Anthony Kenny's engaging new multi-volume history of Western philosophy now advances into the modern era. The Rise of Modern Philosophy captures the fascinating story of the emergence, from the early sixteenth to the early nineteenth century, of the great ideas and intellectual systems that shaped modern thought.
Kenny introduces us to some of the world's most original and influential thinkers and helps us gain an understanding of their famous works. The great minds we meet include Ren� Descartes, traditionally seen as the founder of modern philosophy; the great British philosophers Hobbes, Locke, and Hume; continental thinkers such as Spinoza, Liebniz, and Hegel; and the towering figure of Immanuel Kant, who perhaps more than any other made philosophy what it is today. Kenny first tells the story of modern philosophy chronologically: his lively, accessible narrative brings the philosophers to life and fills in the historical and intellectual background to their work. It is ideal as the first thing to read for someone new to this wonderfully creative period. Kenny then backtracks to look closely at each of the main areas of philosophical exploration in this period: knowledge and understanding; the nature of the physical universe; metaphysics (the most fundamental questions there are about existence); mind and soul; the nature and content of morality; political philosophy; and God.
The book also features many intriguing and beautiful illustrations which evoke the human and social side of philosophy. Anyone who is interested in the evolution of modern thought will find this a book a treasure.

Electrode Kinetics: Reactions(PDF)
Volumes 26 and 27 are both concerned with reactions occurring at electrodes arising through the passage of current. They provide an introduction to the study of electrode kinetics. The basic ideas and experimental methodology are presented in Volume 26, whilst Volume 27 deals with reactions at particular types of electrodes. Chapter 1 of the present volume deals with redox reactions at metal electrodes, Chapter 2 with semiconducting electrodes and Chapter 3 with reactions at metal oxide electrodes. Both theoretical aspects and experimental results are covered.
Handbuch des Meeresnaturschutzrechts in der Nord- und Ostsee: Nationales Recht unter Einbezug internationaler und europäischer Vorgaben (Schriftenreihe Natur und Recht) (German Edition)
Das Werk dient der systematischen Aufbereitung der in der deutschen AWZ und in den Küstengewässern der Nord- und Ostsee geltenden Regelungen des Meeresnaturschutzes. Unter Einbezug internationaler und europäischer Vorgaben erläutert die Schrift die einschlägigen nationalen Bestimmungen und bietet praktische Hilfestellung zur Bewältigung von Konflikten zwischen Schutz- und Nutzungsinteressen. Neben den Mechanismen des Habitat-, Biotop- und Artenschutzrechts sowie der Eingriffsregelung werden im Schwerpunkt die für den Meeresnaturschutz relevanten Vorgaben des Fachrechts behandelt, die für eine naturschonende Ausführung lokaler Eingriffe Sorge tragen und eine den Naturschutzbelangen Rechnung tragende Steuerung der Fischerei, der wissenschaftlichen Meeresforschung und der Schifffahrt ermöglichen. Fragen der Überwachung und Durchführung naturschutzbezogener Anforderungen werden ebenso thematisiert wie die konzeptionell-planerischen Aspekte des Meeresnaturschutzes.
Mikropolitik politischer Organisationen: Das Beispiel Ortsbeirat (VS College) (German Edition)
Wie ist zwischen autonomen Akteuren einer Organisation kooperatives, kollektives und organisiertes Handeln möglich und welche Strukturen, Strategien und Regeln bestehen, die das Handeln in Organisationen beeinflussen?
