Clown of the City

At opening this book, everything one has learned or thought about “urban ministry” is challenged, and changed. Stephan de Beer offers a fresh, exciting and thoroughly engaging approach. The title is enticing and playful, but the book is a serious grappling with the daunting realities of a shadowed, marginalised, urban life. It does not theorise or pontificate about a concept. The author is not a distant, neutral observer. He is an engaged minister to the people, a struggler in their struggles, prophet to the powerful. This book invites the reader to join the people of the cities under siege by failed policies, empty promises, and disastrous politics, in their struggles for meaningful life, and it makes a powerful, persuasive case. Stephan de Beer has offered us a great gift and a wonderful opportunity to think and hope anew, and differently, about the life, reality, and future of the city.

Spectroscopy, Dynamics and Molecular Theory of Carbon Plasmas and Vapors

Advances in the Understanding of the Most Complex High-temperature Elemental System

By: Laszlo Nemes,Stephan Irle,H. W. Kroto

This book is a stop-gap contribution to the science and technology of carbon plasmas and carbon vapors. It strives to cover two strongly related fields: the molecular quantum theory of carbon plasmas and carbon nanostructures; and the molecular and atomic spectroscopy of such plasmas and vapors. These two fields of research are strongly intertwined and thus reinforce one another.Even though the use of carbon nanostructures is increasing by the day and their practical uses are emerging, there is no modern review on carbon plasmas, especially from molecular theoretical and spectroscopic viewpoints. The importance of the present book is therefore great from both educational and practical aspects. This review might be the first step towards bringing such textbooks into existence for university education. Similarly, for applied and engineering works in carbon nanostructures, the book provides a theoretical salient point for technologists in the field.

Slow Pandemics

Reshaping everyday life in the upcoming age of illness

By: Stephan Sigrist

Medical progress and greater prosperity have helped us to not only live longer, but also to stay healthy longer. However, the downsides of ever greater convenience are now becoming apparent: the next pandemic will be characterised by lifestyle-related diseases and – unlike the coronavirus – will spread slowly and without much media attention. A growing number of circulatory diseases, type 2 diabetes and cancer are part of the new normal, resulting from a modern lifestyle with less exercise and more fast food. An increasing number of mental illnesses due to pressure to perform, loneliness and dependence on digital aids have become part of our daily life. Not only older people are affected but more and more young people also suffer from these symptoms. These "slow pandemics" arise in everyday life and cannot be treated by a hospital stay or a drug. They require a new healthcare system that focuses on daily life – and the involvement of all public and private actors who shape our environment and behaviour. The focus on healthy lifestyles opens up new, interlinked markets for prevention – provided that society also assumes responsibility. The foundations are selective rather than a complete evaluation of behavioural data, and builds health-promoting infrastructure and redefines quality of life by combining control and enjoyment.
