Sommario/riassunto

"In the last two decades especially, we have witnessed the rise of 'celebrity' forms of global humanitarianism and charity work, spearheaded by entertainment stars, billionaires, and activist NGOs (e.g. Bob Geldof, Bono, Angelina Jolie, Madonna, Bill Gates, George Soros, Save Darfur, Medecins Sans Frontieres). This book examines this new phenomenon, arguing that celebrity humanitarianism legitimates, and indeed promotes, neoliberal capitalism and global inequality.Drawing on Slavoj Zizek's work, the book shows how celebrity humanitarianism, far from being altruistic, is significantly contaminated and ideological: it is most often self-serving, helping to promote institutional aggrandizement and the celebrity 'brand'; it advances consumerism and corporate capitalism, and rationalizes the very global inequality it seeks



to redress; it is fundamentally depoliticizing, despite its pretensions to 'activism'; and it contributes to a 'postdemocratic' political landscape, which appears outwardly open and consensual, but is in fact managed by unaccountable elites"--

Sommario/riassunto

Forestry Economics introduces students and practitioners to all aspects of the management and economics of forestry. The book adopts the approach of managerial economics textbooks and applies this to the



unique processes and problems faced by managers of forests. While most forestry economics books are written by economists for future economists, what many future forest and natural resource managers need is to understand what economic information is and how to use it to make better business and management decisions. John E. Wagner draws on his twenty years of experience teaching an

Sommario/riassunto

Decken sind ein wesentliches Element im Hochbau-Tragwerksentwurf. In dieser aktualisierten Einführung leiten die Autoren aus traditionellen Gewölben und Balkendecken eine Typologie aktueller Decken ab, der die detaillierte Behandlung der häufig verwendeten Konstruktionsarten von Decken und Fußbodenkonstruktionen folgt. Aufbauten wie Massiv-, Holz- und Verbunddecken werden ebenso behandelt wie die bauphysikalischen Eigenschaften, die sich in einem Querschnitt von Standardaufbauten aller Typologien illustrieren lassen. Balkone und Loggien nehmen aufgrund ihrer konstruktiven und bauphysikalischen Sonderstellung ein eigenes Kapitel ein; Bemessungsansätze und Dimensionierungshilfen für Abschätzungen ergänzen die Konstruktionsformen. In der zweiten korrigierten Auflage wurden sämtliche Normenbezüge berücksichtigt.
