1000 tulosta hakusanalla Kaspar Eduard Schech
Sieben kurze Geschichten von Katzen, M nnern, einer Frau und Anderem. Alle mit einem offenen Ende, etwas d ster aber nicht hoffnungslos. Eine kurze Lekt re wie ein Dessert aus zartbitterer Schokolade.
Der Physik-Student Kaspar liebt klare Strukturen. Er denkt und handelt logisch, sein Alltag ist geregelt und sein Studium steht kurz vor dem Abschluss (Diplomthema: Raum und Zeit), eine Karriere zeichnet sich ab. Bis er Donatella trifft - oder sie auf ihn. Der begeisterte Amateurmusiker ist frustriert, weil er ein sichergeglaubtes Vorspielen verloren hat, als er abends die attraktive Frau vom Rummel trifft. Sie verleitet ihn mit ihr und ihrem Autoscooter-Fahrgesch ft von einer Stadt zur n chsten zu reisen, ein Leben, wie es nicht gegens tzlicher sein k nnte. Er verf llt ihr und sein Leben ger t aus den Fugen. Kaspar endet schlie lich als Pausenclown beim Zirkus, wo er durch ein Raubtier einen gewaltsam den Tod findet, der sich durch seltsame Ereignisse angek ndigt hat. Kaspar kommt ins Jenseits, wo gerade das Computersystem modernisiert wird und erh lt dort die Chance zur Wiedergeburt, da er das vorgesehene Ziel seiner Existenz mit der Liebesaff re verfehlt hat. Als Frettchen, das zun chst als Ratte verkannt wird, begegnet er seiner geliebten aber inzwischen alternden Donatella wieder.

This book illustrates how the advanced technology developed for smart cities requires increasing interaction with citizens to motivate and incentive them. Megacities' needs have been encouraging for the creation of smart cities in which the needs of inhabitants are collected using virtualization and digitalization systems. On the other hand, machine learning algorithms have been implemented to provide better solutions for diverse areas in smart cities, such as transportation and health. Besides, conventional electric grids have transformed into smart grids, improving energy quality. Gamification, serious games, machine learning, dynamic interfaces, and social networks are some elements integrated holistically to provide novel solutions to design and develop smart cities. Also, this book presents in a friendly way the concept of social devices that are incorporated into smart homes and buildings. This book is used to understand and design smart cities where citizens are strongly interconnected so the demand response time can be reduced.

Klassiske og moderne antropologiske tænkere er en indføring i den særlige tænkning, som antropologien har fostret. Antropologien voksede ud af en stigende interesse for at forstå den globale mangfoldighed i slutningen af det 19. århundrede, hvor hele verden var kendt og opmålt. Samtidig vidste man stadig meget lidt om, hvordan enkeltsamfund hang sammen. Det blev der rådet bod på gennem det etnografiske feltarbejde, der opstod som en ny videnskabelig metode. Det direkte møde med andre former for samfundsliv og måder at ræsonnere på lagde grunden til en særegen antropologisk tænkestil, der udfolder sig mellem konkrete detaljer og generelle begreber. I bogen præsenteres centrale antropologers arbejder gennem intellektuelle portrætter af Franz Boas, Marcel Mauss, Knud Rasmussen, Margaret Mead, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Gregory Bateson, Mary Douglas, Talal Asad, Marilyn Strathern, Bruno Latour, Anna Tsing og mange flere. Klassiske og moderne antropologiske tænkere er skrevet af antropologer fra danske, norske og islandske universiteter og er redigeret af professor emeritus Kirsten Hastrup. Bogens opbygning er enkel: Tænkerne er kronologisk ordnet efter deres fødselsår. Fødselsåret forklarer naturligvis ikke tænkningen, men det er tydeligt, at hver enkelt tænker afspejler sin tid; lige så tydeligt er det, at afspejlingen hverken er mekanisk eller uniform, og at begreber kan trække lange spor i historien. Det, der forbinder kapitlerne med hinanden, er afsættet i konkrete samfund. Bogen viser således at “klassisk” og “moderne” ikke er entydigt tidslige kategorier. Specifikke feltarbejder finder sted på bestemte tider, men de kan omsættes i mangfoldige senere læsninger. Bogen er relevant for læsere inden for alle samfundsvidenskabelige studier såvel som inden for humanistiske studier, som ønsker at forstå og udfordres på begreber som kultur, natur, globalisering, slægtskab, udveksling og meget mere. Et kortfattet overblik, der introducerer hvert kapitel, en fyldig litteraturliste og et omfattende navne- og emneregister gør bogen anvendelig som opslagsværk og som redskab for litteratursøgning.
A heart-warming, colour-illustrated novel about Kaspar the Savoy cat, from the award-winning author of Born to Run and The Amazing Story of Adolphus Tips
Some cats really do have nine lives: after a stay at the legendary Savoy hotel, Kaspar the cat sets sail – on none other than the Titanic . . . ‘A cracking narrative’ Observer They say cats have nine lives, and that’s certainly true of Kaspar. From the glamorous suites of the Savoy Hotel to a crowded lifeboat and the hustle and bustle of New York City, Kaspar proves that no cat is too small for big adventures. But then this is no ordinary cat. He’s Kaspar, Prince of Cats – and the only cat to survive the sinking of the Titanic . . .
'Kaspar is based on the historical case of a 16-year-old boy who appeared from nowhere in Nuremberg in 1828 and who had to be taught to speak from scratch . . . Handke's play is a downright attack on the way language is used by a corrupt society to depersonalise the individual'. - Michael Billington, the Guardian.'Handke's most sustained study in social indoctrination . . . there could be no better introduction to Handke.' - Irving Wardle, The Times.Kaspar is the most extraordinary and impressive play to date by Peter Handke. First staged in Germany in 1968, it was hailed by Max Frisch as 'the play of the decade'. The central character is Kaspar, a figure based on the historical Kaspar Hauser, an autistic adolescent, who is guided and taught until he speaks 'normally', by the voices of unseen prompters. As the words begin to coincide with reality, Kaspar learns to manipulate both. In the latter part of the play the tension between the individual and 'the others' is further expressed through the image of the original Kaspar surrounded by a host of identical 'Kaspars'.Having chosen language as a vehicle, Peter Handke explores it as a means of oppression - a means of creating artificial uniformity by teaching people to comprehend the world only in terms of the speech patterns they are given.
