Humussphäre (3922201504)

Der private Bodenforscher und Diplom-Permakulturdesigner und -Lehrer und Diplom-Architekt Herwig Pommeresche beschäftigt sich zeit seines Lebens in Theorie und Praxis mit Garten- und Ackerbau. Er hat dabei eine Reihe kaum bekannter Forschungsarbeiten gründlich unter die Lupe genommen und mit den üblichen konventionellen Methoden verglichen. Was er herausgefunden hat: Wir haben offenbar ein unzureichendes Verständnis von den Mechanismen, mit denen Pflanzen ihre Nährstoffe aufnehmen und verarbeiten. Unser bisheriges Modell ist, dass sie ihre Nährstoffe lediglich in Form von gelösten (Dünge-)Salzen aus dem Wasser beziehen. Auf diesem Modell, das der Autor "Mineralmodell" nennt, bauen seit Mitte des Neunzehnten Jahrhunderts die Düngemethoden in Landwirtschaft und Gartenbau auf. Sie sind seither nie infrage gestellt worden - trotz der Probleme, die sie verursachen. Doch es gibt (schon seit vielen Jahrzehnten, aber auch ganz aktuell) auch Arbeiten von Naturwissenschaftlern, die n

The Problems of Philosophy (9781420933710)

First written in 1912, this work of Bertrand Russell was an attempt by the author to create a guide that succinctly and comprehensibly outlined the difficulties he saw in the body of philosophical thought up to his time. In trying to do so, he concentrated on knowledge instead of metaphysics, hoping to spark discussion that was both productive and beneficial. This work also explains Russell's famous distinction between 'knowledge by acquaintance and knowledge by description', which he first posited in 1910. Finally, "The Problems of Philosophy" draws upon the important theories of famous philosophers from Plato to Hegel in order to create a foundation for philosophical inquiry, not only for scholars but for the general public as well. While Russell does not necessarily solve the problems he sets forth, his work is still quite relevant in its scope and object for philosophers today. Product details

Feeling Great : The Revolutionary New Treatment for Depression and Anxiety (9781683732884)

Do you sometimes feel … • Down, depressed, or unhappy? • Anxious, panicky, or insecure? • Guilty or ashamed? • Inferior, inadequate, or worthless? • Lonely, unwanted, or alone? For decades, we've been told that negative feelings like depression and anxiety are the result of what's wrong with us, like a personality defect, a "mental disorder," or a chemical imbalance in your brain. These messages create feelings of shame and make it sound like we're broken and need to be "fixed." Now, Dr. David Burns, author of the best-selling and highly acclaimed Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy, reveals that our negative moods do not result from what's wrong with us, but rather – what's right with us. And when you listen and suddenly "hear" what your negative thoughts and feelings are trying to tell you, suddenly you won't need them anymore, and recovery will be just a stone's throw away.In his innovative book, Feeling Great, Dr. Burns, desc

Balancing humor and heart, this relatable story about the refugee crisis from the perspective of kids highlights the community-changing potential of standing as an ally and reminds readers that everyon

Elon Musk : How the Billionaire CEO of SpaceX and Tesla is Shaping our Future (9780753557525)

South African born Elon Musk is the renowned entrepreneur and innovator behind PayPal, SpaceX, Tesla, and SolarCity. Musk wants to save our planet; he wants to send citizens into space, to form a colony on Mars; he wants to make money while doing these things; and he wants us all to know about it.

Urban Wild : The Aussie Animals That Share Our Backyards, Our Cities and Our Lives. (9781925847871)

In Australia, we are fortunate that so many wild species can be seen without us having to leave our own homes. It might not occur to us just how special it is to look through the window and spot a squadron of jewel-coloured rainbow lorikeets spearing through the air to join their mates in a nearby tree, or to witness the amusing antics of your neighbourhood flock of shrieking, cheeky sulphur-crested cockatoos. We are in danger of taking the animals that live around us for granted, or worse still, of finding them a nuisance and looking for ways to deter them. At Australian Geographic we have long championed the value of the natural world, no matter how far or near that world may be. In this book we revisit many of the stories of the species that we encounter in our daily city lives. Australia is the most urbanised nation on earth and yet we share our built environment with a cavalcade of amazing, fascinating native creatures. We examine some of the issues around our complex relationship

Managing Oneself (9781422123126)

We live in an age of unprecedented opportunity: with ambition, drive, and talent, you can rise to the top of your chosen profession regardless of where you started out.

In Managing Oneself, Peter Drucker explains how to do it. The keys: Cultivate a deep understanding of yourself by identifying your most valuable strengths and most dangerous weaknesses; Articulate how you learn and work with others and what your most deeply held values are; and Describe the type of work environment where you can make the greatest contribution. Only when you operate with a combination of your strengths and self-knowledge can you achieve

Winning the War in Your Mind Workbook : Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life (9780310136828)

In this twelve-lesson workbook, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Craig Groeschel pairs modern psychology and biblical teaching to reveal how to win the war in your mind and restore daily peace in your life. What you think shapes who you are. If your thoughts are out of control, your life will be as well. Both the Bible and modern science provide evidence that this is true. In recent years, a discipline of psychology called cognitive behavioral therapy has gained popularity. This discipline is rooted in an understanding that many problems--from eating disorders to relational challenges, addictions, and even some forms of depression--are rooted in negative patterns of thinking. Treating those problems begins with changing that thinking. This has many parallels with Scripture. In Paul's letter to the Philippians, he writes about turning our thoughts to certain types of things (truth, purity, loveliness...) and putting them into practice so that we experience God's peac
