This practical guide shows how to facilitate collaboration among diverse individuals and organizations to navigate complexity and create change in our interconnected world.
The social and environmental challenges we face today are not only complex, they are also systemic and structural and have no obvious solutions. They require diverse combinations of people, organizations, and sectors to coordinate actions and work together even when the way forward is unclear. Even so, collaborative efforts often fail because they attempt to navigate complexity with traditional strategic plans, created by hierarchies that ignore the way people naturally connect.

Notes on Projectile Impact Analyses by Hao Wu
English | PDF | 2020 | 382 Pages | ISBN : 9811332525 | 19.7 MB
This book presents comprehensive experimental, numerical, and theoretical research on projectile impact analysis, such as the rigid projectile penetration/perforation of concrete and metallic targets, and shaped-charge-formed projectile and jet penetrations. Concrete and metal materials are widely used in protective structures in both civil engineering and armored vehicles, such as military fortifications, underground shelters, infantry fighting vehicles, and tanks, which are designed to withstand intentional or accidental impact loadings caused by projectiles and fragments, and the responses of these targets under projectile impact have been a topic of discussion for several decades.

Biofertilizers: Study and Impact
English | 2021 | ISBN: 1119724678 | 648 Pages | PDF EPUB | 20 MB
Great attention has been paid to reduce the use of conventional chemical fertilizers harming living beings through food chain supplements from the soil environment. Therefore, it is necessary to develop alternative sustainable fertilizers to enhance soil sustainability and agriculture productivity. Biofertilizers are the substance that contains microorganisms (bacteria, algae, and fungi) living or latent cells that can enrich the soil quality with nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, organic matter, etc. They are a cost-effective, biodegradable, and renewable source of plant nutrients/supplements to improve the soil-health properties. Biofertilizers emerge as an attractive alternative to chemical fertilizers, and as a promising cost-effective technology for eco-friendly agriculture and a sustainable environment that holds microorganisms which enhance the soil nutrients' solubility leading a raise in its fertility, stimulates crop growth and healthy food safety.

Reformations and their Impact on the Culture of Memoria By Truus van Bueren, Paul Cockerham, Caroline Horch, Martine Meuwese, Thomas Schilp
2016 | 426 Pages | ISBN: 2503568548 | PDF | 7 MB
This volume presents cultural studies approaches to different modes of memoria (the original medieval way of commemoration), taking into account specific confessional contexts. It mainly focuses on the consequences of political, religious and social reforms in the period from 1200 to 1800. Scholars from multiple subject areas in the field of cultural studies evaluate if, and to what extent, reform processes and political or social change have influenced different practices of memoria.Since customs of commemoration of the dead (and the living) serve as a means of self-reassurance for a society, they allow significant insights into what the respective societies were grounded upon. This volume delivers the first discipline-specific and methodologically diverse approach to the consequences of different reforms on memoria.In this way this overview creates a 'history of memoria' throughout the centuries.In der vorliegenden Publikation werden unterschiedliche Ausprägungen der memoria, des ursprünglich mittelalterlichen Gedenkwesens, kulturwissenschaftlich und konfessionsspezifisch dargestellt. Dabei stehen die Folgen politischer, religiöser und sozialer Reformen im Zeitraum von 1200 bis 1800 im Fokus. Forscher aus verschiedenen Fächern und mehrerer Länder haben sich mit unterschiedlichen Aspekten memorialen Handelns beschäftigt und untersucht, inwiefern Veränderungen und Neuordnungen die Praxis der memoria beeinflusst haben.Im Umgang mit den Toten vergewissert sich eine Gesellschaft ihrer selbst. So vermag das Gedenken an Lebende und Verstorbene bedeutsame Aufschlüsse geben.Den Auswirkungen unterschiedlicher Reformen, insbesondere der Reformation, auf die memoria wird hier zum ersten Mal methodisch wie fachspezifisch nachgegangen.Aus diesem Überblick entsteht auch eine „Geschichte der memoria" durch mehrere Jahrhunderte.

InThe Viagra MythDr. Abraham Morgentaler (a practicing urologist on the faculty of Harvard Medical School) shows us that while Viagra has proved enormously helpful to many men, it has also uncovered previously ignored aspects of identity and authenticity in sexuality and relationships.

Women who discover their partner has resorted to a secret sexual enhancer may complain, "I thought it was me who turned you on . . ." Viagra may improve a man's sexual abilities, but there may also be a profound cost involved.If you or your partner is using or considering Viagra, or even if you are only wondered what it might be like to have a better sex life, this book is essential reading. It will provide insight and instruction about the reality of quick-fix solutions, sexuality, personal growth, and meaningful relationships.
