Sommario/riassunto

Recent oil price fluctuations continue to stress the need for more efficient recovery of heavy oil and tar sandbitumen resources. With conventional production steadily declining, advances in enhanced recovery will berequired so that oil production can be extended and reservoirs last longer. A practical guide on heavy-oil relatedrecovery methods is essential for all involved in heavy oil production. To feed this demand, James Speight, awell-respected scientist and author, provides a must-read for all scientists, engineers and technologists thatare involved in production enha

Sommario/riassunto

Fünf unternehmungslustige junge Frauen wuchsen am Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts gemeinsam in Göttingen auf: Philippine Gatterer, Caroline



Michaelis, Therese Heyne, Meta Wedekind und Dorothea Schlözer. Alle fünf waren Professorentöchter und genossen eine für ihre Zeit außergewöhnliche Bildung, sodass sie der Nachwelt unter dem Namen Göttinger Universitätsmamsellen bekannt wurden. Als Erwachsene wandten sie sich der Literatur zu und veröffentlichten eigenwillige Gedichte, Abenteuerromane, aber auch Reiseberichte, Übersetzungen und Briefe. Dieser Band versammelt eine Auswahl ihrer interessantesten Werke, ergänzt um Kurzbiographien, historische Erläuterungen und einen illustrierten Stadtrundgang.
