Ge Organogermanium Compounds

Part 4: Compounds with Germanium-Hydrogen Bonds

By: John E. Drake,Christa Siebert,Bernd Wöbke

The present volume in the organogermanium series describes mononuclear compounds containing only germanium-carbon and germanium-hydrogen bonds (Chapter 1.3). Germanium hydrides with other additional non-carbon ligands, such as halogen or oxygen bonded groups, appear in later chapters according to the Gmelin principle of the last posi tion. Compounds with Ge-H and Ge-O bonds have already been described in Volume 5, Section 1.5.1.4, pp. 50/62. The present volume covers the literature to the end of 1992 and includes many references up to 1994. The nomenclature recommended by IUPAC has been generally adhered to. However, compound names were largely avoided, as most of the compounds are presented in tables and are only identified by their formulas. Many of the data in the tables appear in abbreviated form without units; general explanations are given on pp. X/XI. The volume contains an empirical formula index (p. 327) and a ligand formula index (p.341). The editor wishes to express his gratitude to the former author, Professor J. E. Drake, and to Professor J. Satge for his kind advice and fruitful collaboration. Thanks are due also to Dr. A. R. Pebler for editing the English text and to Mr. H.-G. Karrenberg for drawing the numerous formulas and molecular structures.

Fe Organoiron Compounds Part B14

Mononuclear Compounds 14

By: Wolfgang Petz,Christa Siebert

Volume Organoiron Compounds B 14 systematically covers the literature through the end of 1986 and includes most references from 1987 and some from 1988. The volume continues Series B (volumes B 1 to B 13 already published) on mononuclear organoiron compounds. Series A (volumes A 1 to A 8 already published) is devoted to the ferrocenes and Series C (volumes C 1 to C 5 and C 7 already published) treats organoiron compounds with two or more Fe atoms in the molecule. The present volume completes the description of C5H5Fe(CO)2R compounds. The volume is completed by a formula and ligand index covering both volumes B 13 and B 14.

Writing Systems and Their Use

An Overview of Grapholinguistics

By: Dimitrios Meletis,Christa Dürscheid

Grapholinguistics, the multifaceted study of writing systems, is growing increasingly popular, yet to date no coherent account covering and connecting its major branches exists. This book now gives an overview of the core theoretical and empirical questions of this field. A treatment of the structure of writing systems—their relation to speech and language, their material features, linguistic functions, and norms, as well as the different types in which they come—is complemented by perspectives centring on the use of writing, incorporating psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic issues such as reading processes or orthographic variation as social action. Examples stem from a variety of diverse systems such as Chinese, English, Japanese, Arabic, Thai, German, and Korean, which allows defining concepts in a broadly applicable way and thereby constructing a comparative grapholinguistic framework that provides readers with important tools for studying any writing system. The book emphasizes that grapholinguistics is a discipline in its own right, inviting discussion and further research in this up-and-coming field as well as an overdue integration of writing into general linguistic discussion.

Is This Yoga?

Concepts, Histories, and the Complexities of Modern Practice

By: Anya Foxen,Christa Kuberry

This book provides a rigorously researched, critically comparative introduction to yoga. Is This Yoga? Concepts, Histories, and the Complexities of Contemporary Practice recognizes the importance of contemporary understandings of yoga and, at the same time, provides historical context and complexity to modern and pre-modern definitions of yogic ideas and practices. Approaching yoga as a vast web of concepts, traditions, social interests, and embodied practices, it raises questions of knowledge, identity, and power across time and space, including the dynamics of "East" and "West." The text is divided into three main sections: thematic concepts; histories; and topics in modern practice. This accessible guide is essential reading for undergraduate students approaching the topic for the first time, as well as yoga teachers, teacher training programs, casual and devoted practitioners, and interested non-practitioners.

The Life of A Refugee, Immigrant & Writer

By: Christa Baier

The street was unusually quiet, considering it was early afternoon on a sunny September day. None of the usual noises from pedestrians or moving vehicles were audible, all windows were shut and not a single face peered from behind drawn curtains. In the middle of the street was a traffic isle, almost completely covered by a big pile of beige sand. The only sign of life was a little girl, who discovered the latest spot for her to play. Being at home by herself without toys, except for one doll she had received for her 5th birthday over a year ago from her godmother. Unfortunately she was not allowed to play with that doll, because it was made of porcelain, with real hair, From parental tyranny to communist control and, finally, freedom in a new world-what a life! I am glad I do not have to go through all that again.
