Paperback. Condition: Fair. An essential introduction to the North's most spectacular species. Polar Bears brings together acclaimed photographer Norbert Rosing's vibrant images and his firsthand knowledge of the Arctic to chronicle a year in the life of the polar bear, the Earth's largest land predator. The book is organized into four sections, spring, summer, fall and winter, each with an introductory essay. Young readers will learn about tiny newborn cubs, weighing barely 2 pounds, and see them follow their mother across the frozen tundra, playing and learning survival skills as they go. Informative captions describe a polar bear's physical characteristics and how it survives in the bitter Arctic. The book also shows the other animals that share the Far North's breathtaking scenery. Each year more than 10,000 people travel to remote Churchill, Manitoba, to watch and study polar bears, but the Earth's climate is changing, and the bear's future is in question. At this critical time comes Polar Bears, the perfect introduction to the mighty Nanook from one of its most impassioned advocates.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Have you heard this narrative? The middle class has been hollowed out because of an overreliance on free markets. Americans can't compete with low-cost labor and imports, so all the good jobs in America have disappeared, especially those in manufacturing. It's a dismal argument that many politicians, even some on the right, have spent the past few years spinning. They say that the American dream is dying and that only wealthy Americans have been successful for the past few decades. Supposedly, free trade, immigration, and unabated technology have resulted in an economy that no longer works for Americans. The problem with this bleak story is that it is completely wrong. They're misreading both the current level of prosperity in America and how it was created. Americans have been growing richer since the end of the 19th century and now enjoy levels of abundance and opportunity unimaginable 150 years ago. More recently, American incomes have not stagnated, lower-income Americans have done much better, and the middle class has grown robustly. The American economy is not perfect, but moving further away from free markets and implementing industrial policy, as these politicians want to do, will make Americans worse off. More government intervention and restrictions on economic freedoms will kill the American Dream, not save it. In Crushing Capitalism, Norbert J. Michel makes the case for maintaining perspective on how well Americans have done during the past few decades and nurturing the institutions that have enabled Americans to succeed.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Der weltweite Papierverbrauch ist trotz der Entwicklung der Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien (IKT) stetig gestiegen. Die Suche nach neuen Rohstoffen f r die Papierherstellung wird daher angesichts des weltweiten Waldr ckgangs zu einem Thema von gro er internationaler Bedeutung. Die vorliegende Studie ermittelt die Eignung von vier Bananensorten, Fasern von akzeptabler Qualit t f r die Herstellung von Papier und Papierprodukten zu liefern. Es wurde festgestellt, dass der Ertrag an Bananenfasern (2-3%) im Vergleich zu dem in Japan gefundenen Ertrag (10%) gering ist, dass die in Haiti verwendete Extraktionstechnologie sich als wenig effizient erweist und dass das spezifische Gewicht von Waldarten ( ber 300 kg/m3) das von Bananenfasern (11-15,8 kg/m3) bei weitem bersteigt. Au erdem wurde festgestellt, dass die Moschus-Sorte den h chsten Faserertrag (3 %) liefert, w hrend der h chstm gliche Hektarertrag (2641 Kg) mit der exotischen Sorte Irfa-909 erzielt wird. Bananenfasern enthalten weniger Zellulose (24 bis 35 %) als Holz (40 bis 52 %). Die Sorten Irfa-909 und Musqu e mit dem h chsten Ligningehalt (39,76 und 36,82) weisen eine h here Dehnungsfestigkeit auf.…
