Download or read book Faszination aus Blech written by David Pressland and published by Kerber Verlag. This book was released on 2008 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fascinating Tinplate depicts one of the largest private collections of tinplate toys in Germany, a collection that is here made public for the first time, in close-up photographs that lovingly animate a lost world of playthings. With their handpainted touches, fun wind-up mechanisms and evocations of a bygone epoch's nationalistic pride, tinplate toys offer a visual experience that contemporary toy production can only dream of, and this particular collection, which focuses in particular on early rarities of tinplate, conveys some of the flavor of the working and living conditions of yesteryear. We see begoggled drivers hunched over their steering wheels, passengers parading along a train platform and all manner of railways, cars, steamships, zeppelins and aeroplanes, all photographed as installed, to conjure a living panorama of daily life in the Wilhelminian Empire and the Weimar Republic.
Download or read book Manufacturing Processes 4 written by Fritz Klocke and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-07-08 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides essential information on metal forming, utilizing a practical distinction between bulk and sheet metal forming. In the field of bulk forming, it examines processes of cold, warm and hot bulk forming, as well as rolling and a new addition, the process of thixoforming. As for the field of sheet metal working, on the one hand it deals with sheet metal forming processes (deep drawing, flange forming, stretch drawing, metal spinning and bending). In terms of special processes, the chapters on internal high-pressure forming and high rate forming have been revised and refined. On the other, the book elucidates and presents the state of the art in sheet metal separation processes (shearing and fineblanking). Furthermore, joining by forming has been added to the new edition as a new chapter describing mechanical methods for joining sheet metals. The new chapter “Basic Principles” addresses both sheet metal and bulk forming, in addition to metal physics, plastomechanics and computational basics; these points are complemented by the newly added topics of metallography and analysis, materials and processes for testing, and tribology and lubrication techniques. The chapters are supplemented by an in-depth description of modern numeric methods such as the finite element method. All chapters have been updated and revised for the new edition, and many practical examples from modern manufacturing processes have been added.
Download or read book Planet Narnia written by Michael Ward and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-01-15 with total page 655 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over half a century, scholars have laboured to show that C. S. Lewis's famed but apparently disorganised Chronicles of Narnia have an underlying symbolic coherence, pointing to such possible unifying themes as the seven sacraments, the seven deadly sins, and the seven books of Spenser's Faerie Queene. None of these explanations has won general acceptance and the structure of Narnia's symbolism has remained a mystery. Michael Ward has finally solved the enigma. In Planet Narnia he demonstrates that medieval cosmology, a subject which fascinated Lewis throughout his life, provides the imaginative key to the seven novels. Drawing on the whole range of Lewis's writings (including previously unpublished drafts of the Chronicles), Ward reveals how the Narnia stories were designed to express the characteristics of the seven medieval planets - - Jupiter, Mars, Sol, Luna, Mercury, Venus, and Saturn - - planets which Lewis described as "spiritual symbols of permanent value" and "especially worthwhile in our own generation". Using these seven symbols, Lewis secretly constructed the Chronicles so that in each book the plot-line, the ornamental details, and, most important, the portrayal of the Christ-figure of Aslan, all serve to communicate the governing planetary personality. The cosmological theme of each Chronicle is what Lewis called 'the kappa element in romance', the atmospheric essence of a story, everywhere present but nowhere explicit. The reader inhabits this atmosphere and thus imaginatively gains connaître knowledge of the spiritual character which the tale was created to embody. Planet Narnia is a ground-breaking study that will provoke a major revaluation not only of the Chronicles, but of Lewis's whole literary and theological outlook. Ward uncovers a much subtler writer and thinker than has previously been recognized, whose central interests were hiddenness, immanence, and knowledge by acquaintance.

Book excerpt: The Continuous Casting 2000 symposium maintains the tradition established in 1976 of holding regular events. This millennium event, however, is the first international meeting of the series. The aim is to highlight the importance of continuous casting - of aluminum, copper and magnesium - to the international fabricating industry, focusing on technological advances in all the sectors that are important for the manufacture of high quality continuous cast products.
Download or read book Faszination des Illegitimen written by Constanze Gestrich and published by Ergon Verlag. This book was released on 2007 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Familiengeschichten haben bis heute ungebrochen Konjunktur. Die hier entworfenen Konzepte von Verwandtschaft stehen oft im Spannungsfeld von Legitimitat und Illegitimitat und beziehen nicht selten daher ihre Faszination: Immer wieder geht es um uneheliche Kinder, fehlende Vater und Mutter, gebrochene Familienstrukturen. Dabei erweist sich die Frage nach Herkunft und Ursprung, nach Genealogie und Verwandtschaft als zentral. Alteritat wird damit zu einem konstitutiven Element jeder Ursprungserzahlung. Diskursiv verbunden mit diesen "kleinen" Geschichten von Verwandtschaft und Familie sind die "grossen" Herkunftserzahlungen, die der Herstellung kollektiver Identitaten dienen, wie z. B. religiose Ursprungsmythen oder Konzepte von Nation im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert. Die Denkfiguren von Familie und Verwandtschaft verknupfen jedoch nicht nur Entwurfe kollektiver und individueller Herkunft, sondern auch Diskurse unterschiedlicher Disziplinen: Philologie, Sprachwissenschaft und Asthetik, Medizin, Anthropologie und Psychologie, Biologie und Evolutionstheorie, Religionsgeschichte und Mythologie verwenden gleichermassen Begriffe wie Genealogie, Genus, Gattung, Stammbaum, Verwandtschaft. Eine wichtige Stellung in der Vermittlung und diskursiven Verknupfung der grossen Herkunftserzahlungen und Bildwelten nahm dabei die Literatur im 19., aber auch im 20. Jahrhundert ein. Die Beitrage des vorliegenden Bandes analysieren ihre oft ambivalente Rolle im skizzierten Kontext in Skandinavien und Deutschland ab 1800. Familiengeschichten haben bis heute ungebrochen Konjunktur.
