    A Very Short Introduction. Plate Tectonics

    NIEUWSTAAT, kleiner formaat Engelstalige paperback met zijflappen.

    The 1960s revealed a new and revolutionary idea in geological thought: that the continents drift with respect to one another. After having been dismissed for decades as absurd, the concept gradually became part of geology's basic principles. We now know that the Earth's crust and upper mantle consist of a small number of rigid plates that move, and there are significant boundaries between pairs of plates, usually known as earthquake belts.

    Plate tectonics now explains much of the structure and phenomena we see today: how oceans form, widen, and disappear; why earthquakes and volcanoes are found in distinct zones which follow plate boundaries; how the great mountain ranges of the world were built. The impact of plate tectonics is studied closely as these processes continue: the Himalaya continues to grow, the Atlantic is widening, and new oceans are forming. In this Very Short Introduction Peter Molnar provides a succinct and authoritative account of the nature and mechanisms of plate tectonics and its impact on our understanding of Earth.

    A Very Short Introduction. Oceans

    NIEUWSTAAT, kleiner formaat Engelstalige paperback met zijflappen.

    The importance of the oceans to life on Earth cannot be overstated. Liquid water covers more than 70% of our planet's surface and, in past geological time, has spread over 85%. Life on Earth began in the oceans over 3.5 billion years ago and remained there for the great majority of that time. Today the seas still provide 99% of habitable living space, the largest repository of biomass, and holds the greatest number of undiscovered species on the planet. Our oceans are vital for the regulation of climate, and with global warming and decreasing land area, they have become increasingly important as the source of food, energy in the form of oil and gas, and for their mineral wealth. Oceans also form a key part of the biogeochemical cycles of carbon, nitrogen, and other elements critical to life. Nutrients in upwelling areas are spread by ocean currents, and the plankton of the seas supports a wealth of wildlife.

    In this Very Short Introduction Dorrik Stow analyses these most important components of our blue planet and considers their relationship with, and exploitation by, humans. He shows how the oceans are an essential resource to our overpopulated world, and discusses why exploration and greater scientific understanding of the oceans, their chemistry, and their mineral wealth are now a high priority. Stow also explores what we know of how oceans originate, and evolve and change; the shape of the seafloor and nature of its cover; the physical processes that stir the waters and mix such a rich chemical broth; and the inseparable link between oceans and climate. As polar ice melts and sea-levels rise, countless millions who have made their homes on low-lying lands close to the sea are threatened. As scientific exploration of the seas gathers pace, the new knowledge gained of the ocean-Earth systems and their interaction with the human environment is vital to our understanding of how we can preserve these ultimately fragile environments.

    Real-world Media Ethics

    Real-world Media Ethics

    Engels. Paperback, in zeer goede staat

    • Is it ethical to pass yourself off as black if you are Caucasian, as Rachel Dolezai, the president of a local chapter of the NAACP, did in 2015?
    • Was it ethical for Donald Sterling, the former owner of the NBA team, to use racially inflammatory language?
    • Is it ethical to exaggerate or fabricate the importance of one's role, as Brian Williams apparently did when he anchored the NBC nightly news?
    • Is it ethical for a journalist to pay a source for a story, tips, and photos, as TMZ, Gawker and others do regularly?

    The above questions as well as other questions definitely illustrate the need for studying ethics.

    Real-World Media Ethics provides a wide showcase of real ethical issues faced by professionals in the media field. Numerous case studies allow readers to explore multiple perspectives while using realistic ethical principles. This book includes the basics in ethical journalism, as well as the tools to navigate through the landscape of mass media such as public relations, entertainment and other forms of visual communication. The second edition has been updated to encompass globalization, new media platforms, current copyright issues, net neutrality, sports ethics, and more. An accompanying companion website provides additional interviews demonstrating ethical principles in practice. Being a former ABC executive, author Philippe Perebinossoff gives readers an inside look at circumstances with an ethical, experienced eye.

    Europa Europa! Over de...

    Europa Europa! Over de dichters van de Grote Oorlog

    Paperback, in goede staat, MAAR met vrij veel enthousiaste potloodstreepjes en krulletjes in de kantlijn. Ze zijn niet nadrukkelijk, dus ze ze makkelijk uit te stuffen. Het gaat over de eerste wereldoorlog (1914-1918). Er zijn veel veelbelovende dichters in de frontlinies gestorven.  

    In de Europese geschiedenis vormt de Eerste Wereldoorlog een keerpunt, niet alleen politiek maar ook cultureel. De Grote Oorlog wordt wel de Literaire Oorlog genoemd, omdat gedichten als 'In Flanders Fields' en 'Dulce et decorum est' tot op de dag van vandaag tot het collectieve geheugen over de wereldbrand behoren. Over Britse dichters als Siegfried Sassoon en Wilfred Owen verschenen al tientallen studies, maar nooit eerder werd het verhaal van de oorlog verteld in zijn volledige Europese context. Aan de hand van hun werk en lotgevallen belicht Geert Buelens in dit boek hoe onder meer Rainer Maria Rilke, Fernando Pessoa, Paul van Ostaijen, Anna Achmatova, Vladimir Majakovski, Giuseppe Ungaretti en Guillaume Apollinaire de oorlog hebben beleefd en beschreven. We zien hoe de Italiaanse futuristen enthousiast campagne voerden om hun land in het conflict te betrekken, maar ook hoe in 1916 het dadaïsme ontstond vanuit een gevoel van walging over een cultuur die zo'n oorlog voortbracht. Gedichten werden massaal ingezet als propagandamiddel, maar tegelijk ook om te experimenteren met nieuwe vormen en ideeën. Met Europa, Europa! schreef dichter en essayist Buelens een prachtige cultuurgeschiedenis waarin aan de hand van dichters en denkers van toen wordt nagedacht over oorlog en vrede, nationalisme en internationale samenwerking, revolutie en catastrofe.
