With Python, C++, FORTRAN, and a friendly conversational tone peppered with attempted humor, Modeling and Simulation of Everyday Things takes us on a journey through constructing models and simulations of systems and processes in everyday life and beyond. Readers can access an example‑packed online repository of programs in each of the three languages, including seldom covered work in generalized geometries and 3D.This second edition is a wonderful confluence of development of Python and C++ applications and will cultivate a broad perspective in the readership through having translations of major programs available in Python, C++, and FORTRAN (as we move forward, software engineers and researchers are recognizing the value of legacy programming). In addition to leveraging the best of the three languages, the readership can explore versatility in visualization by using native Python graphics as well as POV Raytracer and third‑party animation tools. We approach modeling of a system by introducing the theoretical framework of the system, followed by its discretized form, and then with narrated programs and sample results that also appear in the online repository.Readers will be able to critically think through constructing models and simulations of a vast array of systems, interpreting results, and visualizing them (which includes examples for visually and auditorily impaired individuals). Most importantly, their confidence will propel them forward to meet the challenges of the field and to think "outside the book". Leveraging the best of three coding languages, two tracks for visualization, a conversational tone, and numerous examples, this book is extremely versatile and can be used by students from high school through science undergraduates in 2‑year and 4‑year institutions. The text is also ideal for use in Data Science as well as Professional Science Master’s programs.

Accompanying a landmark exhibition at the Courtauld Gallery, this book examines the remarkable drawings made by Durer as a young man from 1490 to 1495, especially those made during his journeyman years, or Wanderjahre – considered the final part of a craftsman’s training – and a second shorter trip which immediately followed and seems to have brought the artist to Italy. These trips form the framework for the book, which focuses on the young artist’s figure studies and has at its heart the Courtauld Gallery’s double-sided drawing of a Wise Virgin and Two studies of the artist’s left leg. This superbly ambitious work serves as a springboard to explore in depth the role of drawing at this stage of Durer’s career. It allows us to address a series of crucial questions: how Durer formed ‘his hand’, how he responded to artistic challenges presented by contemporary and earlier art (both on a stylistic and an iconographic level), how his pursuit of professional success was linked with the quest for an individual artistic identity, and how the strategy of recording his own creative achievements in drawings dovetails with his claim for a new status for the artist in his city. The scholarly and beautifully illustrated catalogue is introduced with five essays by distinguished experts. Stephanie Buck examines the documentary evidence and attempts to reconstruct the motivations and activities of Durer’s travels as a young man. David Freedberg discusses Durer’s obsessive observation and recording of himself in portraits and in studies of his limbs. These represent the first critical steps in the artist’s developing understanding of the body, and of the ways in which its movements could not just show emotion, but rouse the equivalent sense of torsion, tension and pathos in the bodies and minds of his viewers. Stephanie Porras looks at Durer’s copies of drawings or prints circulating in Nuremberg workshops or acquired during the Wanderjahre, which were used as a means of seeking inspiration, of challenging himself to draw more sophisticated figures and dynamic compositions. Michael Roth asks the question of how the three strands of the art of the line – drawing, engraving and woodcut – structurally correspond in Durer’s work and, consequently, how drawing merges with certain manual aspects of printing. A final essay presents new technical research on Durer’s early drawings undertaken collaboratively in a number of leading collections of the artist’s work, and aims to enrich our understanding of the young Durer’s approach to the medium of drawing.

Die vorliegende Arbeit will einen Beitrag zur Grundlegung der theologischen Apologetik leisten. Sie sucht dabei die Grenzen und Möglichkeiten des apologetischen Verfahrens zu bestimmen, indem sie es an der Vierfachheit des göttlichen Wirkens - Gottes schöpferisches, gesetzgebendes, erlösendes und schlechthin verborgenes Wirken - orientiert. Diese Vierfachheit wird anhand wichtiger theologischer Entwürfe der letzten zweihundert Jahre (F. Schleiermacher, K. Barth, E. Hirsch, P. Tillich, W. Elert, P. Althaus und E. Brunner) untersucht.

Ethik ist "in". Ohne Frage. Aber trotz aller Bemühungen scheint die Frage nach dem, was Ethik ist, immer noch eine der brennensten und spannensten der aktuellen Forschung zu sein? Was macht Ethik eigentlich? Und wie hängen Ethik und Moral zusammen? Neben diesen allgemeinen Fragen zur Funktion von Ethik, stellt sich zunehmend auch die Frage nach deren Gestalt . Denn was macht die Theologische Ethik zu einer theologischen Ethik? Wie viel Theologie verträgt die Ethik in ihrem Anspruch, ihrem Grund und Gegenstand? Das Studienbuch präsentiert einen Überblick über den gegenwärtigen Stand und Trends der Theologischen Ethik, sowie Perspektiven der anderen theologischen Fächer auf das Gesamt einer Theologischen Ethik. Autoren aus verschiedenen theologischen Richtungen und Perspektiven formulieren Antworten, werfen Fragen auf und zeigen Horizonte auf, die in der Arbeit an und in der Theologischen Ethik eine aktuelle Relevanz haben. Es gibt einen Überblick über die aktuellen Diskussionen und Diskurse der Theologischen Ethik und möchte eine Grundlage für Diskussionen über das Projekt der Theologischen Ethik in Forschung und Lehre, in Kirche und Gesellschaft vermitteln.

Der vorliegende Band präsentiert Artikel aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven und Disziplinen, die aus Vorträgen auf fünf Mainz Moral Meetings zum Thema "Zeit und Ethik" erwachsen sind. Hierbei werden Grundfragen zum Zeit-Ethik-Geflecht thematisiert und im Dialog mit Texten der Antike auch neue Perspektiven für gegenwärtige Handlungsfelder (z. B. die Klimakrise) gewonnen.

Hardly any other epoch in art history has been marked by as many profound changes as the Late Gothic was in the fifteenth century. Inspired by Netherlandish role models, depictions of light and shadow, body and space, became increasingly more realistic. Everyday life found entry into the arts. With the invention of printing, images and texts were distributed to an extent previously unheard of. Artists such as Nicolaus Gerhaert and Martin Schongauer became widely known and influenced the development of the visual arts throughout Europe and across all genres. Featuring a wide selection of works, the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin present the first extensive exhibition of Late Gothic art in the German-speaking regions. Its comparison and contrast of the various genres turns the catalogue into a handbook for the arts at the threshold of the modern era.

In response to climate change and limited fossil fuels, renewable energy is being heavily promoted throughout Europe. Despite general support for green energy, perceived landscape change and loss of landscape quality have featured heavily in opposition campaigns.The COST Action "Renewable Energy and Landscape Quality" (RELY) systematically investigated the nexus between renewable energy production and landscape quality. Its aim was to analyze how landscape protection and renewable energy deployment can be reconciled to contribute to the sustainable transformation of energy systems.This book compiles guidelines for assessing landscape suitability for, and vulnerability to, renewable energy projects together with a toolbox for landscape-aware public participation in planning. It furthermore elaborates a multilingual glossary of terms related to landscape and energy.
