Kaum ein Fluss hat die Menschen derart in den Bann gezogen wie der Nil. Schon aufgrund seiner gewaltigen Länge stellte er Anwohner und Reisende bis ins 19. Jahrhundert hinein vor Rätsel: 6800 Kilometer windet er sich durch Regenwälder, Sumpfgebiete und schließlich die Wüsten Ägyptens, wo man sich wunderte, woher all das Wasser kam.

An den Ufern des Nils herrschten Pharaonen, osmanische Kalifen und britische Gouverneure, er wurde zum Rückgrat der kolonialen Erschließung Afrikas und zu ei

Throughout history, hearing and sound perception have been typically framed in the context of how sound conveys information and how that information influences the listener.  "Hear Where We Are" inverts this premise and examines how humans and other hearing animals use sound to establish acoustical relationships with their surroundings.

This simple inversion reveals a panoply of possibilities by which we can re-evaluate how hearing animals use, produce, and perceive

David Cronan has been working on and writing about deep-sea minerals since the mid-1960s. He completed a dissertation on them at Oxford University in 1964 and a Ph.D. on them at Imperial College, University of London, in 1967. He was awarded a D.Sc. by Durham University in 1986. From 1973, he was successively Lecturer, Reader, and Professor of Marine Geochemistry at Imperial College, working principally on manganese nodules and hydrothermal deposits. During this period, he supervised over 20

This book reveals all that can potentially happen when a private company takes over a local water supply system, both the good and the bad. Backed by real life stories of water privatization in action, author Manuel Schiffler presents a nuanced picture free of spin or fear mongering.

Inside, readers will find a detailed analysis of the multiple forms of water privatization, from the outright sale of companies to various forms of public-private partnerships. After cover
