• Sommario/riassunto: Depigmentation, lightening of the skin and mucosa, can be caused by local or systemic conditions, and there may be partial or complete loss of pigment. Although depigmented patches may not matter in Caucasians, it is very serious for pigmented skin. Depigmentation can also be a therapeutic goal for cosmetic treatment. Many vitiligo patients who received depigmentation treatment experienced paradoxical jealousy because of their clean white skin. To improve facial blemishes, many people spend their money on laser, chemical peel, and cosmetic treatments. In this book, we focus on two opposite sides of depigmentation: diseases of depigmentation and therapeutic depigmentation presented by global experts.

• Sommario/riassunto: Die deutschsprachige Kunstkritik entsteht in der zweiten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts in Gelehrtenjournalen, Rezensionsorganen und literarischen Zeitschriften und orientiert sich dabei an französischer Kunsttheorie und Salonkritik. Während regelmäßig veranstaltete Akademieausstellungen im Louvre als Kristallisationspunkt der Gesellschaft fungieren und die französische Salonkritik herausbilden, regen die sich wandelnde Öffentlichkeitsstruktur, Museumsgründungen sowie Ausstellungsorganisationen in Deutschland ab den 1760er Jahren ; erst das ,Gespräch über Kunst' an und bilden allmählich unterschiedliche Typen von Kunstkritik aus. Obwohl sich das Museums- und Ausstellungswesen und der deutsche Kunstmarkt bis Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts nur teilweise entwickeln, ist die mediale Ausdifferenzierung des Zeitschriftenwesens zum Verweissystem periodischer Kunstberichterstattung um 1780 abgeschlossen: eine direkte Folge der Dezentralisierung der deutschen Kunstszene(n). Denn der geografisch und politisch zersplitterte deutsche Raum wird medial durch das Zeitschriftenwesen vernetzt. Kunstbeiträge und kunstkritische Stellungnahmen häufen sich ab der Jahrhundertmitte in den Periodika und beziehen sich nun auch kritisch aufeinander. Die Kunstkritik erfährt im überregional kunstbezogenen Binnendiskurs eine quantitative und qualitative Wandlung. So bildet sich im Medium der Zeitschrift die Kritikfähigkeit aus; zugleich erfährt die Kunstkritik eine Komplexitätssteigerung und wird selbstbezüglich, indem sie ihre Kritiknormen und Umgangsformen im kunstkritischen Diskurs reflektiert und sich als metareflexive Kunstkritik etabliert.

• Sommario/riassunto: This volume provides an overview of (1) the physical and chemical foundations of dating methods and (2) the applications of dating methods in the geological sciences, biology, and archaeology, in almost 200 articles from over 200 international authors. It will serve as the most comprehensive treatise on widely accepted dating methods in the earth sciences and related fields. No other volume has a similar scope, in terms of methods and applications and particularly time range. Dating methods are used to determine the timing and rate of various processes, such as sedimentation (terrestrial and marine), tectonics, volcanism, geomorphological change, cooling rates, crystallization, fluid flow, glaciation, climate change and evolution. The volume ; includes applications in terrestrial and extraterrestrial settings, the burgeoning field of molecular-clock dating and topics in the intersection of earth sciences with forensics. The content covers a broad range of techniques and applications. All major accepted dating techniques are included, as well as all major datable materials.
