The world’s energy landscape is very complex. Fossil fuels, especially because of hydraulic fracturing, are still a mainstay of global energy production, but renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, and others, are increasing in importance for global energy sustainability. Experts and non-experts agree that the next game-changer in this area will be energy storage. Energy storage is crucial for continuous operation of power plants and can supplement basic power generation sources over a stand-alone system. It can enhance capacity and leads to greater security, including continuous electricity supply and other applications. A dependable energy storage system not only guarantees that the grid will not go down, but also increases efficacy and efficiency of any energy system. This groundbreaking new volume in this forward thinking series addresses all of these issues, laying out the latest advances and addressing the most serious current concerns in energy storage. Whether for the veteran engineer or the student, this latest volume in the series, “Advances in Renewable Energy,” is a must-have for any library.

Bhagavadgita
Die Bhagavadgita ist die zentrale Schrift des Hinduismus und ein spiritueller Begleiter für Menschen weltweit. Kurz vor einer Schlacht gibt der Gott Krishna dem Krieger Arjuna Antworten auf die großen Fragen des Seins: Wie verhalten wir uns richtig? Wie kann es gelingen, ein gutes und glückliches Leben zu führen?" Die Bhagavadgita ist das schönste, ja vielleicht das einzige wahrhaft philosophische Gedicht, das alle uns bekannten Literaturen aufzuweisen haben." – Wilhelm von Humboldt
PHANTASTISCH! PHANTASTISCH!
Der am 13. August 1951 im hessischen Wetzlar geborene Thomas Le Blanc, Gründer der dortigen «Phantastischen Bibliothek», ist seit Jahrzehnten ein leidenschaftlicher Anthologist und Initiator ganzer Reihen solcher Sammelbände. Die hier vorgelegte Anthologie phantastischer Kürzestgeschichten ist eine Hommage zum 70. Geburtstag eines Mannes, der über lange Jahre anhaltenden (und unberechtigten) Anfeindungen ausgesetzt war. Eines Mannes, der dennoch unbeirrt seinen Weg ging und dem letztlich sein Erfolg recht gegeben hat. Die Kreation der Anthologienreihe «Phantastische Miniaturen» war eine Pioniertat, für die alle in diesem Band vereinten Autoren dankbar sind und dies mit der Teilnahme an diesem Geburtstagsgeschenk zum Siebzigsten des Gründers der «Phantastischen Bibliothek» bekräftigen. Insgesamt liegen nun mehr als fünfzig neu geschriebene phantastische Miniaturen vor, extra ausgedacht und niedergeschrieben zu Ehren des Jubilars.
