Die Bhagavadgita | Für die eBook-Ausgabe neu editiert und mit aktualisierter Rechtschreibung | Mit eBook-Inhaltsverzeichnis und rund 100 verlinkten Fußnoten | Im Anhang zusätzliche Infos zur Bhagavadgita || Die Bhagavadgita ist eine der zentralen Schriften des Hinduismus. Der vermutlich zwischen dem fünften und zweiten vorchristlichen Jahrhundert entstandene Text ist eine Zusammenführung mehrerer Denkschulen des damaligen Indien auf Grundlage der Veden, der Upanishaden und des orthodoxen Brahmanismus, steht aber den Upanischaden gedanklich am nächsten. | Kein Text der Hinduliteratur wird so viel gelesen, so oft auswendig gelernt und so häufig zitiert, wie die 18 Kapitel der Bhagavadgita. Viele Hindus ziehen das Buch als wichtigen Ratgeber heran, und auch für Mahatma Gandhi war es Richtschnur; aber auch für westliche Denker, wie Wilhelm von Humboldt.

This book explores the cutting-edge advancements in textile and polymer implants, their impact on health, and their role in enhancing quality of life. Written by a leading textile expert, it provides a comprehensive overview of current technologies, applications, and future trends in the field.

The field of textile-based microfluidics represents a groundbreaking convergence of textile engineering, materials science, and biomedical technology. These devices leverage the inherent properties of textiles—such as flexibility, porosity, and capillarity—to manipulate fluids at the microscale, enabling innovative applications in diagnostics, environmental sensing, and wearable technologies. The origins of this interdisciplinary field can be traced back to the early 2000s, when researchers began exploring the potential of fibrous substrates as alternatives to traditional silicon or polymer-based microfluidic platforms. Unlike rigid microfluidic chips, textile-based systems offer unparalleled advantages, including conformability to curved surfaces, breathability, and compatibility with large-scale manufacturing techniques like weaving, knitting, and embroidery

The denim industry stands at a crossroads. For decades, it has been synonymous with durability, style, and cultural significance, but its environmental footprint—marked by excessive water consumption, chemical pollution, and textile waste—has become unsustainable. This book serves as a clarion call for change, introducing transformative innovations reshaping denim production through the lens of sustainability. It explores how circularity, raw material selection, advanced garment finishing, and water-saving technologies can not only mitigate harm but also redefine the future of denim. The urgency of this revolution cannot be overstated: as the global denim market is projected to grow, the industry must adopt scalable, eco-conscious practices to align with planetary boundaries and meet consumer demand for ethical fashion.

The integration of AI into textile manufacturing represents the latest paradigm shift, enabling unprecedented levels of automation, precision, and efficiency.  The advent of mechanization in the 18th and 19th centuries introduced power looms and high-speed ring spinning machines, thus significantly increasing output but still relying heavily on human oversight. Today, AI-driven systems are revolutionizing every stage of textile production—from fiber selection and yarn spinning to fabric finishing and quality control—by leveraging machine learning, computer vision, and predictive analytics. This book describes not only the ongoing revolution unleashed by AI in textile manufacturing but also talks about its expected future impact.

The development of textile and polymer composites represents one of the most transformative advancements in materials science over the past century. These materials, which combine fibrous reinforcements with polymer matrices, have revolutionized industries ranging from aerospace to biomedical engineering. The modern era of composites began in the mid-20th century with the advent of synthetic polymers and high-performance fibers like PEEK, aramids, and carbon. The aerospace industry was among the first to recognize its potential, leveraging its high strength-to-weight ratios to build lighter, more fuel-efficient aircraft. Over time, advancements in polymer chemistry and fiber technology have expanded their applications, making them indispensable in automotive, construction, sports equipment, and even wearable technology.
