The version in the German Lohengrin (ca.1300) is perhaps the most striking. It captures the imagination with the appearance of the epic poet Wolfram von Eschenbach as narrator, the changing forms of the swan, and Lohengrin's appearance as a warrior alongside Saints Peter and Paul. In the past, however, Lohengrin has been dismissed as an awkward amalgamation of earlier sources - partly due to more recent retellings of the material, such as Wagner's opera. This first monograph on Lohengrin in English presents a new response to the challenges the text poses. It is a study of how we read narrative across temporal distance, and at its heart lies the question: if a story is not held together by the chronological and causal links characteristic of modern narratives, how <I>does</I> it cohere? Alastair Matthews analyzes both the invocations of Wolfram that frame the text and the story of the Swan Knight that they enclose, arguing that Lohengrin is defined by a web of connections in which questions ofidentity and recognition are crucial, and thus that the themes at the core of the tale govern how it is told.

Alguno1st ed. 2025.Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :Imprint: Springer,2025.1 online resource (XVII, 165 p. 20 illus., 12 illus. in color.) Engineering Materials,1868-12129789819614592 9819614597 -- Introduction to Oil Spill and Sorbents. -- Bio based Foam Sorbents Chemistry Synthesis and Properties. -- Factors Affecting Foam Sorbent Performance. -- Properties of Bio based Foam Sorbents. -- Scalability and Other Considerations of Biobased Foam Sorbents. -- Future Directions and Innovations.This book highlights the advantages of using sorbents in oil spill cleanup while dealing with the challenges of limited capacity and disposal. Bio-based foam sorbents are new but promising sorbents to oil spill cleanup. They are environmentally friendly materials derived from renewable resources such as vegetable oil and biomass, designed to absorb or adsorb oil and other pollutants from water, coastal areas, wetlands, ice-covered waters, and urban surfaces. These foams offer a sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-based sorbents, with comparable or even superior performance in oil adsorption capacity, recyclability, and biodegradability. Moreover, a bio-based foam sorbent with inherent hydrophobic property is discussed, opening a new pathway for bio-based foam sorbents that usually need surface modification. This book is a good read for environmental scientists, engineers, sustainability experts, and researchers offering insights in related to the chemistry, performance, and commercialization potential of bio-based foam sorbents. It explores various methods for synthesizing bio-based foam sorbents, providing a detailed examination of the underlying chemistry involved in these processes.Engineering Materials,1868-1212Surfaces (Physics)BiomaterialsBioremediationBiophysicsMembranes (Biology)Surface and Interface and Thin FilmBiomaterialsEnvironmental BiotechnologyMembrane BiophysicsBiological MembranesSurfaces (Physics)Biomaterials.Bioremediation.Biophysics.Membranes (Biology)Surface and Interface and Thin Film.Biomaterials.Environmental Biotechnology.Membrane Biophysics.Biological Membranes.530.417Lubguban Arnold Aauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1785588Malaluan Roberto Mauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autDumancas Gerard Gauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autAlguno Arnold Cauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910983056403321Bio-based Foam Sorbents4317117UNINA
