The late 16th century and the first half of the 17th century saw a final resurgence of the concept of Fortuna. Shortly thereafter, this goddess of chance and luck, who had survived for millennia, rapidly lost her cultural and intellectual relevance. This volume explores the late heyday and subsequent erasure of Fortuna. It examines vernacular traditions and confessional differences, analyses how the iconography and semantics of Fortuna motifs transformed, and traces the rise of complementary concepts such as those of probability, risk, fate and contingency. Thus, a multidisciplinary team of contributors sheds light on the surprising ways in which the end of Fortuna intersected with the rise of modernity.

This book presents current trends and developments in the rapidly growing field of biomimetics. It takes an application-oriented approach to reflect the interdisciplinary nature of this field: Experts, from academic as well as professional backgrounds, contribute to this book by describing and presenting state-of-the-art experiments and practical developments. A strong emphasis is put on the various possibility to apply biomimetics in tissue engineering, regenerative surgery, neurosurgery for clinical applications.

​Der Aufbau des Lehrbuchs orientiert sich am baubetrieblichen Vorgehen bei Realprojekten. Zum Einstieg werden die Rahmenbedingungen erläutert, die wichtig für die Planung der baubetrieblichen Prozesse sind. Die operative Ausführung von Bauvorhaben benötigt eine gründliche Arbeitsvorbereitung, jedoch erkennen Unbeteiligte erst mit der Einrichtung der Baustelle, wie weit die Planungsphase bereits vorangeschritten ist. In weiteren Kapiteln werden die wesentlichen Bauverfahrenstechniken im Erd- und Hochbau vorgestellt und durch aussagekräftige Abbildungen ergänzt. Wichtige Querschnittsthemen wie die Dokumentation des Baugeschehens, die Qualitätssicherung sowie der Arbeits- und Gesundheitsschutz ergänzen die Buchinhalte. Zahlreiche Aufgaben mit Lösungen runden das kompakte Lehrbuch ab. Der formale Aufbau orientiert sich an der besonderen Didaktik der Reihe "erfolgreich studieren".
