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...
