The 'Diccionario del español medieval' (DEM) records and describes the lexicon of the Spanish language from the first documents up to about 1400. It will comprise not only the vocabulary of the literary works, but also that of texts insufficiently analyzed in traditional lexicography (collections of charters, Fueros, legal documents, translations of the Bible, chronicles, treatises, scientific works, etc.). It is based on more than 500 works, text collections and texts of the above-mentioned period as well as on more than 200 vocabularies, glossaries, concordances and lexical studies. The data of etymological research in the field of Romance linguistics are also taken into consideration. Each article of the dictionary consists of three parts: firstly, the documentation, which offers, along with the inventory of the first appearances of the word, numerous examples of its use on a chronological and semantic basis; secondly, the lexicographical information, which complements the documentation by adding further important items extracted from old Spanish dictionaries up to the „Diccionario de Autoridades“ (1726-1739); and finally the lexicological and linguistic interpretation of the lexical material. Conceived in this way, the DEM combines the characteristics of a dictionary covering a period of the language with those of an etymological and historical dictionary.

This book teaches adhesive and sealant formulation in two steps. Each section first describes the application and chemical basis of the type of adhesive or sealant concerned. This is followed by formulation advice and - if possible - an analysis of existing recipes. This analysis includes a calculation of the important characteristic values of the formulations. All calculations based on recipes and formulations are worked through step by step and should therefore be intelligible to beginners, too.

This book covers everything about the mode of action, application and possible side effects of the most important coatings additives - in a single volume, presented in a textbook style. It reflects the needs of practical work - thus it enables the reader to rapidly gain a solid grounding in these critical, yet complex constituents of all paint formulations. It provides both an overview and in-depth basic knowledge of the most important classes of additives. The various types of damage eliminated or prevented by additives are vividly illustrated with colour photos. An indispensable companion for formulators!

The Mission: A single book covering the practical and scientific basics underpinning the strategic formulation of modern paint and coatings systems – from physicochemical concepts to the recipes themselves. This book explains and elaborates in some depth on the key principles of coatings formulation. Indispensable for formulators. The Audience: Trainees, students and newcomers to the profession who are seeking to acquire a solid grounding in coatings formulation, along with experienced formulators wishing to deepen, extend or refresh their knowledge. A knowledge of chemistry and basic knowledge of binders, pigments and additives are required. The Value: Coatings formulation explained step by step. The book opens with a look at the composition of coatings, placing special emphasis on the base binder in each type. Advice on specific formulations is then given before formulation guidelines are analysed. Throughout, the focus is on coatings formulation and how to arrive at the final recipe. A special feature of the book is its detailed index, which allows the reader to conduct targeted searches for specific aspects of coatings formulation.

Mitten durch Deutschland zog sich eine der am schärfsten bewachten Grenzen der Welt. 28 Jahre lang haben Menschen versucht, sie zu überwinden. Der Drang nach Freiheit beflügelte ihre Phantasie und ihren Erfindergeist. In geheimen Verstecken bastelten Ostdeutsche an kuriosen Fortbewegungsmitteln, die ihnen die Flucht ermöglichen sollten. Es entstanden Mini-Flugzeuge und sogar U-Boote. Die Materialbeschaffung und die Konstruktionsarbeiten hatten unter absoluter Geheimhaltung zu geschehen, um das Unternehmen nicht vorzeitig zu gefährden. Andere konstruierten eine Seilbahn über die Mauer, flogen gekaperte Agrarmaschinen, obwohl sie es nie gelernt hatten, oder wagten sich mit einem Surfbrett über die Ostsee in Richtung Dänemark. Bodo Müller hat die Akteure von damals befragt. Er erzählt ihre spannenden Fluchtabenteuer und berichtet vom ungebrochenen Freiheitswillen, der viele zum Äußersten trieb. 'Bodo Müllers Fluchtgeschichten, illustriert durch zahlreiche Schwarzweißfotos und ergänzt durch eine Chronik weiterer Fluchtfälle, sind authentische, lebendige Reportagen, die den Leser fast atemlos machen. „Faszination Freiheit“ ist ein wichtiges Buch - man sollte es lesen.'
