Oxygen uptake for metabolic energy demand and the elimination of the resulting carbon dioxide is one of the essential processes in all higher life forms; in the case of animals, everything from protozoans to insects and vertebrates including humans. Respiratory Biology of Animals provides a contemporary and truly integrative approach to the topic, adopting a strong evolutionary theme. It covers aerobic metabolism at all levels, from gas exchange organs such as skin,gills, and lungs to mitochondria - the site of cellular respiration. The book also describes the functional morphology and physiology of the circulatory system, which often contains gas-carrying pigments and is important for pH regulation in the organism. A final section describes the evolution ofanimal respiratory systems. Throughout the book, examples are selected from the entire breadth of the animal kingdom, identifying common themes that transcend taxonomy.Respiratory Biology of Animals is an accessible supplementary text suitable for both senior undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in respiratory biology, comparative animal physiology, and environmental physiology. It is also of relevance and use to the many professional academics requiring a concise but authoritative overview of the topic.

AnkeSchmitz untersucht, wie SchülerInnen beim Verstehen von Sachtextendurch praktikable Maßnahmen der Textgestaltung unterstützt werdenkönnen. Dabei liefert sie zahlreiche Anregungen für die Konzeptionvon Schulbuchtexten und den systematischen Umgang mit Sachtexten imUnterricht. Neben einer sprachwissenschaftlichen undkognitionspsychologischen Fundierung des KonzeptsTextverständlichkeit und des Konstrukts Textverständnis wirdempirisch analysiert, welche SchülerInnen hinsichtlich ihrerkognitiven und motivationalen Voraussetzungen von denTextoptimierungen mittels globaler Textkohäsion profitieren.

Der Band skizziert Forschungsfelder im Fach Deutsch zum Kompetenzbereich Lesen und versammelt dazu quantitativ und qualitativ ausgerichtete Forschungsarbeiten von Studierenden, die im Praxissemester durchgeführt oder als Masterarbeiten realisiert wurden. Außerdem werden Projektideen zu weiteren Forschungsfeldern des Faches Deutsch aufgezeigt sowie aktuelle hochschuldidaktische Fragen bezüglich des Forschenden Lernens thematisiert. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt dabei auf der Frage der Machbarkeit studentischer Forschungsprojekte. Dazu gibt der Band, etwa hinsichtlich des Umfangs oder der Wahl der Fragestellung, exemplarisch Einblicke.Das Buch ist einerseits von Studierenden für Studierende geschrieben, um zukünftige Forschende bereits während des Studiums hinsichtlich dieses deutschdidaktischen Themenfeldes bei der Themenfindung und bei methodischen Fragen zu unterstützen. Andererseits kann es Dozierenden als Grundlage für die Beratung studentischer Projekte sowie die Gestaltungvon Seminaren dienen.
