This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Erektile Dysfunktion (ED, 'männliche Impotenz') ist eine sexuelle Funktionsstörung, die durch die Unfähigkeit gekennzeichnet ist, während der sexuellen Leistung eine Erektion des Penis zu entwickeln oder aufrechtzuerhalten. Eine Erektion des Penis ist ein hydraulischer Effekt, bei dem Blut in schwammartige Körper im Penis eindringt und dort zurückgehalten wird. Der Prozess wird oft als Folge sexueller Erregung eingeleitet, wenn Signale vom Gehirn an Nerven im Penis übertragen werden. Eine erektile Dysfunktion ist dann angezeigt, wenn eine Erektion schwer zu erzeugen ist. Es gibt verschiedene zirkulatorische Ursachen, einschliesslich einer Veränderung des spannungsabhängigen Kaliumkanals, wie bei einer Arsenvergiftung durch Trinkwasser. Die wichtigsten organischen Ursachen sind Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen und Diabetes, neurologische Probleme (z.B. Trauma durch Prostatektomie-Operationen), hormonelle Insuffizienzen (Hypogonadismus) und Medikamenten-Nebenwirkungen. 60 pp. Deutsch

A new hardcover selection of the best writings of the visionary German naturalist whose ideas changed the way we see the natural world. Selected and introduced by Andrea Wulf.Alexander von Humboldt (1769–1859) was an intrepid explorer and the most famous scientist of his age. His life was packed with adventure and discovery, whether he was climbing volcanoes in the Andes, racing through anthrax-infected Siberia, or publishing groundbreaking bestsellers. Ahead of his time, he recognized nature as an interdependent whole and he saw before anyone else that humankind was on a path to destroy it. His visits to the Americas led him to argue that the indigenous peoples possessed ancient cultures with sophisticated languages, architecture, and art, and his expedition to Cuba prompted him to denounce slavery as “the greatest evil ever to have afflicted humanity.” To Humboldt, the melody of his prose was as important as its empirical content, and this selection from his most famous works—including Cosmos, Views of Nature, and Views of the Cordilleras and Monuments of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas, among others—allows us the pleasure of reading his own accounts of his daring explorations. Humboldt’s writings profoundly influenced naturalists and poets including Darwin, Thoreau, Muir, Goethe, Wordsworth, and Whitman. The Selected Writings is not only a tribute to Humboldt’s important role in environmental history and science, but also to his ability to fashion powerfully poetic narratives out of scientific observations.

Dietz Otto Edzard legt hier sein großes Überblickswerk über die ältesten Hochkulturen der Menschheit vor. Seine Geschichte Mesopotamiens zwischen dem 4. Jahrtausend vor Chr. und dem 1. Jahrhundert nach Chr. umfaßt Politik, Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft, Kultur und Religion so bedeutender Völker wie der Sumerer, Akkader, Assyrer und Babylonier. In Mesopotamien, dem Land zwischen Euphrat und Tigris, stand - ebenso wie in Ägypten - die Wiege der Zivilisation. Hier entstanden vor mehr als 5000 Jahren die ältesten Hochkulturen der Menschheit. Hier wurde die Schrift erfunden, die auf Ton geschriebene Keilschrift. Die Keilschrifttafeln, die in gewaltiger, noch längst nicht voll erschlossener Fülle erhalten geblieben sind, bilden ein lebendiges und facettenreiches Mosaik der Geschichte, Literatur, Gesellschaft und Kultur des Alten Orients. Dieses Mosaik hat der bekannte Altorientalist Dietz Otto Edzard zusammengesetzt zu einer informationsreichen und faszinierenden Gesamtdarstellung. Edzard erläutert die Voraussetzungen und Anfänge der Kulturen des Zweistromlandes und bietet einen Überblick über die Geschichte der einzelnen Staaten in Sumer, Akkad, Ur, Elam, Assur, Urartu und Babylonien und all ihrer konfliktreichen Beziehungen untereinander. Er beschreibt auch die Grundzüge ihrer Götterwelt und ihrer religiösen Vorstellungen, ihres Rechtswesens und ihrer Wirtschaft. Schließlich resümiert er den Niedergang der alten Reiche, den Aufstieg der Perser bis zum Sieg Alexanders des Großen über Dareios III. und dem Verschwinden der Keilschrift im ersten Jahrhundert der römischen Kaiserzeit.

Before Darwin . . . before Lewis and Clark . . . there was Alexander von Humboldt. Explorer. Naturalist. All-around genius. Lost hero of science. In his time, Alexander von Humboldt (1769–1859) was world-famous. Why? He led one of the first major scientific expeditions into the South American rain forest and another into the wilds of Siberia. Carrying fragile instruments, he navigated perilous rapids and climbed the volcano of Tenerife. He observed animals, plants, and cultures that no one in Europe had ever dreamed of, and his books about them inspired a whole generation of scientists—including Charles Darwin. But before he did any of that, he was a little boy who was curious about everything (especially bugs)!The Incredible yet True Adventures of Alexander von Humboldt will whisk you away to another time and place. Meet the young man who, defying his mother’s wishes, became a daring explorer-scientist—and follow along as he makes his amazing discoveries. Lavish illustrations bring Humboldt’s untamed world to life. See nature through the eyes of a great early scientist. Wonder awaits!

This stunning volume delves into the extraordinary illustrated notebooks of Alexander von Humboldt's journeys through the Americas, which reveal the graphic musings of an intrepid explorer, a writer and philosopher, and the father of the environmental movement.At the dawn of the 19th century, the Prussian explorer Alexander von Humboldt was granted permission to charter an expedition to Spain's colonies in the New World. Over the course of five years, Humboldt would travel to the Orinoco and Amazon rivers, predict the agricultural and commercial potential of Cuba, climb higher in the Andes than anyone before him, and acknowledge the achievements of the ancient indigenous American civilizations. And he recorded it all in a series of diaries. On occasion of the 250th anniversary of Humboldt's birth, the drawings from these diaries are now available in a large format, slip-cased edition. Structured thematically, the 450 illustrations have been painstakingly reproduced, complete with handwritten notes, ink stains and water spots. Humboldt drew everything he saw--Incan ruins, electric eels, the transit of Mercury, silver mines, and ocean currents. In addition to being remarkably well preserved, these drawings offer tremendous insight into Humboldt's prescient observations. Featuring commentary by a renowned expert on Humboldt's work, this breathtaking volume will bring to life one of history's most accomplished thinkers, while providing fascinating reading for anyone interested in history and nature.

The research Alexander von Humboldt amassed during his five-year trek through the Americas in the early nineteenth-century proved foundational to the fields of botany, geography, and geology. But his visit to Cuba during this time yielded observations that extended far beyond the natural world. Political Essay on the Island of Cuba is a physical and cultural study of the island nation. In it, Humboldt denounces colonial slavery on both moral and economic grounds and stresses the vital importance of improving intercultural relations throughout the Americas. Humboldt’s most controversial book, Political Essay on the Island of Cuba was banned, censored, and willfully mistranslated to suppress Humboldt’s strong antislavery sentiments. It reemerges here, newly translated from the original two volume French edition, to introduce a new generation of readers to Humboldt’s astonishing multiplicity of scientific and philosophical perspectives. In their critical introduction, Vera Kutzinski and Ottmar Ette emphasize Humboldt’s rare ability to combine scientific rigor with a cosmopolitan consciousness and a deeply felt philosophical humanism. The result is a work on Cuba of historical import that will attract historians of science as well as cultural historians, political scientists, and literary scholars.
