Unter dem Motto "Präsentieren ist erlernbar" geht das Buch auf die typischen Anforderungen an Naturwissenschaftler ein und vermittelt die grundlegenden Techniken und Tools. Dazu gehören das rhetorische Handwerkszeug genauso wie technische Tipps und Tricks. Beginnend mit der Strukturierung der Inhalte und deren Umsetzung in eine anschauliche und spannende PowerPoint-Präsentation folgt der Schritt aufs Podium: Wie klappt das mit dem Beamer? Was tun bei Lampenfieber? Der Leser findet Tipps und Regeln zum Einsatz von Körpersprache sowie zum Verhalten bei Pannen und lernt, eine Diskussion zu leiten.Die zweite Auflage dieses erfolgreichen Buches geht ausführlich auf die neuen Features von PowerPoint 2010 ein und sensibilisiert den Leser für den Umgang mit Fremdmaterialien durch Bezug zum aktuellen Urheberrecht.Alle Illustrationen sind farbig, zusätzlich wird Online-Material zur Verfügung gestellt. Der Autor ist ein erfahrener Wissenschaftler, der die Probleme aus der Praxis kennt und bereits mehrere Bücher zum Thema Präsentationstechnik veröffentlicht hat.

Utilization of space, what for? This book attempts to answer this question! With this volume we intend to provide a single reference for the broad field of space utilization. Of all the books we know, this is the first to cover all aspects of scientific and application oriented activities in space, even though with limits. We have attempted to document the current state of the art and open at the same time a perspective towards the future. We also want to bridge the gap between the many popular books dealing with space, and academic te- books on specific research fields in space science, applications, or technology. The book addresses a professional readership, while still offering much information to interested laymen. It should well serve students of physics, geodesy, informatics, mechanical, electrical or aerospace engineering. It should give scientists at universities and research institutions an overview of the extensive opportunities offered by space investigations, and industrial engineers and managers additional insights into the commercial potential of space. It should also help decision makers in agencies, governments, and industry to understand better the multidisciplinary interrelationships between utilization aspects and space infrastructure. Our co-authors are amongst the world’s most distinguished leaders in their fields. Their respective areas of - search are presented by many illustrations and focus on the central messages rather than attempting to be exha- tive. Each chapter lists references for further reading, highlighting original publications, the most relevant te- books, and major internet resources.

t~icrogravity research, a new field originating from the accessibility of space, has reached the age of adolescence. An impressive set of results has emerged from the fi rst Space 1 ab fl i ght, whi ch by now has been fully evaluated. In view of this and the wealth of information available from other space experiments, ground based research, and short-term microgra- vity experiments in ai rp 1 anes, rockets or fall towers, it was felt that the time was ripe for a comprehensive review of the field. The initiative of the US to build a permanent station in space, which was soon followed by a European decision to join this venture, further focussed attention onto microgravity materials sciences. This originates from the interesting prospects of a commercial space uti 1 ization, which would heavily rely on the results of scientific or technical experiments in space. From this point of view it also seemed timely and essential to provi de prospective commerci a 1 users with the necessary i nformat i on on previous experience, and more importantly, with a sound scientific basis for space processing.The aim of the present volume consequently is twofold, namely - to stimulate new scientific experiments in space in order to expand our knowledge gained from microgravity research, and to provide industry with the information obtained from space experi- ments sofar and to contribute to the scientific background for commer- cial space utilization.
