Cromwell Stone is one of thirteen men who lived though a mysterious sea voyage. Now his fellow survivors are disappearing in unusual and unnerving ways. He sets out to solve the mystery, and finds himself caught up in a much bigger and stranger story.

Rugged Knits is a collection of 24 functional, lovely, and interesting knitting patterns for men and women. Side-by-side with hearty wool sweaters and sock patterns are more unexpectedly delicate-looking pieces, such as a warm, resilient shawl with lace trim and a cozy cowl with gentle drape.

The book explores the intersection of organometallic chemistry and biotechnology through the development of biohybrid catalysts, or artificial metalloproteins. It highlights the advantages of natural enzymes, such as high substrate specificity and product selectivity, while addressing their limitations in substrate scope. By combining the diverse library of organometallic complexes with the tunable protein scaffolds, this interdisciplinary approach aims to enhance catalytic efficiency and selectivity, meeting the growing demand for enantiopure products in industrial applications.

Zwei grundlegende Perspektiven organisationspädagogischer Theoriebildung bilden den Gegenstand des Bandes: solche, die organisationspädagogische Fragestellungen mittels Rückgriff auf Theorien anderer disziplinärer Herkunft (Soziologie, Managementwissenschaft, Psychologie) beantworten und jene, die dieses im Anschluss an eine pädagogische Theorietradition unternehmen. Das organisationspädagogische Kernthema – organisationales Lernen im engen Sinne – wird hierbei ebenso angesprochen wie auch die damit verbundenen Aspekte der Teilbereiche Organisationsberatung, Organisations- und Personalentwicklung, Führungskräfteentwicklung, Qualitätsentwicklung, Diversitätsmanagement, Partizipationsentwicklung und Evaluation organisationalen Lernens. Neben der Adressierung organisationspädagogischer Teilfragen wird auch eine grundlegende Theoretisierung von „Organisation“ aus organisationspädagogischer und erziehungswissenschaftlicher Perspektive geleistet.

This thesis focuses on Environmental Policy Integration (EPI), a key concept in European Environmental Policy aimed at enhancing environmental considerations in decision-making. Existing research primarily addresses sectoral environmental policies and their integration into other sectors, neglecting the evaluation of physical outcomes from societal and cross-sectoral interactions. This work aims to address these gaps by arguing that EPI fundamentally seeks to transform society's relationship with the environment. To improve EPI's effectiveness, it emphasizes the need to understand the factors and actors that shape the physical environment in the EU. Additionally, it assesses how these dynamics incorporate environmental considerations and their impact on environmental outcomes. Utilizing a framework grounded in critical realism and a strategic-relational approach, the study reconstructs actor-context interactions regarding water use development through a case study in the Algarve, covering the period from Portugal's EU accession in 1986 to early 2004. It investigates the role of environmental considerations in water use development, identifies instances where the environment was inadequately addressed, and explores the reasons behind this oversight. The thesis concludes with a concise set of recommendations for enhancing EPI.
