Biodynamic Beekeeping

Biodynamic Beekeeping

Matthias Thun

Floris Books

Modern beekeeping, influenced by new technologies and breeding methods, has increased honey production but left bee colonies weak and vulnerable to disease. With the alarming decline of the bee population raising concerns about an impending ecological crisis, many beekeepers are seeking a more sustainable way of caring for bees.Biodynamic Beekeeping is the first book to offer practical instruction on caring for bees using biodynamic theories and methods. By considering the influence of the movement of the stars and the planets on the bees' natural habits, biodynamics encourages beekeepers to be more in tune with their bees indicating, for example, the best days on which to inspect colonies or gather honey. This fascinating book offers beekeepers detailed advice and instruction on how to work more holistically, including:-- the challenges and advantages of breeding queen bees-- how to artificially induce swarming to propagate colonies-- how to use biodynamic ashing techniques to combat varroa mites-- instructions for making winter-feed according to current biodynamic thinking
British Royal and State Funerals

British Royal and State Funerals

Matthias Range

The Boydell Press
2016
sidottu
The first in-depth study of the ceremonial and music performed at British royal and state funerals over the past 400 years. British royal and state funerals are among the most elaborate and solemn occasions in European history. This book is the first in-depth study of the ceremonial and the music performed at these events over the past 400 years, fromthe funeral of Elizabeth I in 1603. Covering funerals of both royalty and non-royalty, including Nelson, Wellington and Churchill, this study goes up to the funerals of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother in 2002 and the ceremonial funeral of Baroness Thatcher in 2013. While some of these funerals have received a good deal of attention - especially the 1997 funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales - these extraordinary events have largely not been discussed in their longer historical context. The book examines the liturgical changes in the Anglican funeral rite since the Reformation and also the change from the so-called 'public' to 'private' funerals. It includes many new findings onthe development of the ceremonial and its intricate peculiarities, as well as new insights into the music and its performance. British Royal and State Funerals shows that, despite a strong emphasis on continuity in the choice of music, the ceremonial itself has shown an astonishing flexibility over the last four centuries. Overall, the book also contributes to the debate on the monarchy's changing public image over time by paying particular attention to topics such as tradition and propaganda. Drawing on substantial research in principal libraries and archives, including those of Westminster Abbey, the College of Arms, Lambeth Palace and the British Library, this book is an exhaustive resource for musicologists, musicians and historians alike, providing an unprecedented insight into this most sombre of royal and state occasions. MATTHIAS RANGE is author of Music and Ceremonial at British Coronations (2012). He is a post-doctoral researcher for the Digital Image Archive of Medieval Music and its partner AHRC-funded Tudor Partbooks project at the Faculty of Music, University of Oxford.

Umweltrecht: Ein Kompendium für den Polizeidienst

nidottu
Zum Inhalt: Im Polizeidienst k nnen sich in unterschiedlichster Form Ber hrungspunkte mit dem Umweltrecht ergeben, insbesondere im Abfall-, Bodenschutz-, Gew sserschutz- und Immissionsschutzrecht (z.B. ruhest render L rm), aber auch in anderen Gebieten des Umweltrechts, beispielsweise dem Naturschutz- oder Gefahrstoffrecht. Das deutsche Umweltrecht stellt sich als Querschnitt aus diversen Einzelmaterien dar und wird durch Aspekte wie die Verwaltungsakzessoriet t, aber auch durch zunehmende europarechtliche Einfl sse gepr gt; nicht nur dadurch, sondern auch aufgrund zahlreicher Einzelprobleme gestaltet sich das Umweltrecht als in Teilen schwierige und komplexe Rechtsmaterie. Im vorliegenden Buch wird das Umweltrecht bezogen auf den Polizeidienst systematisch dargestellt und erkl rt. Ziel ist dabei, vor allem ein Gesamtverst ndnis f r die Materie zu erzeugen, dem Umweltrecht zugrunde liegende systembildende Faktoren aufzuzeigen sowie diverse Einzelprobleme n her zu verdeutlichen, zugleich aber auch ein Gesp r f r umweltrechtliche Sachverhalte im Polizeidienst zu wecken. Zu Beginn werden hierzu grunds tzliche Aspekte sowie die relevanten Rechtsnormen im Umweltrecht dargestellt, bevor weiterf hrend im Schwerpunkt das Umweltstrafrecht und das Umweltverwaltungsrecht - mit besonderem Fokus auf das Abfall-, Bodenschutz-, Gew sserschutz- und Immissionsschutzrecht - erl utert und erkl rt werden. Zum besseren Verst ndnis sollen 18 F lle nebst L sungshinweisen beitragen, die sich den generellen Ausf hrungen teilweise anschlie en. Nebenbei enth lt das Buch auch berblicksartige Ausf hrungen zu Abfalltransporten, polizeilichen Grunds tzen bei der Aufnahme von umweltrechtlichen Sachverhalten oder zu ausgew hlten polizeilichen Sachverhalten, wie das Verbrennen von Abf llen oder Eins tze im Zusammenhang mit asbesthaltigen Produkten, um einer ganzheitlichen Betrachtung der Materie Umweltrecht bezogen auf den Polizeidienst gerecht zu werden. Auch wenn das Kompendium vorrangig auf Studentinnen und Studenten fokussiert ist, richten sich die Ausf hrungen durchaus auch an Juristen und Praktiker, die mit der Anwendung des Umweltrechts im Alltag betraut sind. Sofern landesrechtliche Bestimmungen oder Stellen einschl gig sind, orientieren sich diese vorliegend an denen des Bundeslandes Rheinland-Pfalz. Der Autor: Matthias P selt, Polizeioberrat, Jurist, Polizeibeamter im gehobenen und h heren Polizeidienst, in der Schutz- und Kriminalpolizei, in Polizeipr sidien, auf Ministeriumsebene und derzeit als hauptamtlicher Dozent an der Hochschule der Polizei Rheinland-Pfalz im Fachgebiet Allgemeines Verwaltungsrecht / Polizeirecht t tig, Master of Arts f r ffentliche Verwaltung und Polizeimanagement, Bachelor of Laws, Diplom-Verwaltungswirt (FH).

Arthur Koestler’s Fiction and the Genre of the Novel
Featuring a selection of brand new essays by a group of accomplished scholars, Arthur Koestler's Fiction and the Genre of the Novel covers all of Koestler's novels published in his lifetime, the first book to attempt this in English since Mark Levene's Arthur Koestler, published thirty-seven years ago. The team of contributors, with research backgrounds in history, political science, religious studies, law, linguistics and journalism besides literature, offers a truly multidisciplinary take on how Koestler's novels utilize, and at times transcend, the genre of the novel, and argues for their enduring relevance and appeal in the twenty-first century, inviting the reader to revisit and reassess them. With the topics of Koestler's novels including terrorism, massive migration, espionage, rape trauma, war trauma, the crisis of faith, propaganda, fake news and the role and responsibility of intellectuals in major international crises, as the volume aims to show, these texts are just as topical today, as they were at the time of their publication.

Law of Administrative Organization of the EU

Law of Administrative Organization of the EU

Matthias Ruffert

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd
2020
sidottu
With the transfer of ever more tasks and competences to the European level the EU's administration has become increasingly complex, with 'agencification' as the most visible sign of this differentiation. This book offers a much-needed analytical overview of the field, with the aim of improving our understanding of administration at the European level, and indeed of improving the administration itself.Importantly, the book takes a comparative approach, examining the parallels and differences with the US law of administrative organization - and demonstrates that it is not sufficient to consider the respective laws of important Member States in isolation. Using this comparison as a vehicle, the book provides a rounded conceptualization of the law of administrative organization of the EU. This includes a reasoned proposal for a reformed Art. 298 TFEU to address deficiencies in the EU's administrative organization and to enhance administrative legitimacy in the EU.Legal scholars undertaking research in the field of European and administrative law and civil servants working for Member States or European institutions will appreciate the scholarly thoroughness of this book.
