Ohne Dop(amin)e ist alles doof: Aktive Veränderungsarbeit im Persönlichkeitstraining nach Kokainmissbrauch

Rainer Biesinger untersucht in seiner Masterarbeit, inwieweit das natürliche Gleichgewicht der Botenstoffe im Gehirn einst gesunder Menschen nach Rauschdrogenmissbrauch – durch die aktive Veränderungsarbeit im integrativen, erlebnis- und handlungsorientierten Persönlichkeitstraining – neu belebt werden kann. Die Wirkfaktoren verschiedener exogener Rauschdrogen – Schwerpunkt: Kokain und Amphetamin – werden den Eigenschaften endogener Neurotransmitter gegenübergestellt. Herausgearbeitet werden diejenigen Gehirnstrukturen und Neurotransmitter, vorwiegend Dopamin, die wesentlich an süchtigem Verhalten beteiligt sind. Zur Vorbeugung von Rückfällen werden Techniken zur Aktivierung der ‚körpereigenen Drogenapotheke‘ in ein möglichst langfristiges, vom Suchtdruck befreites, selbstermächtigtes Leben aufgezeigt.Der Autor Rainer Biesinger wurde vom Underdog zum bekannten Persönlichkeitstrainer, Vortragsredner und Schriftsteller.

Ökologie: Ein Lehrbuch

Ökologie: Ein Lehrbuch (Springer-Lehrbuch)

Ökologie der Biozönosen (Springer-Lehrbuch)

Das Buch behandelt die Wechselbeziehungen der Arten in ökologischen Gemeinschaften und deren Bedeutung für die Struktur und Organisation von Ökosystemen. Unter Berücksichtigung aktueller Forschungsergebnisse stellt der Autor Formen und Wirkungen der Interaktionen einzeln sowie integriert im komplexen Gefüge der Biozönosen dar. Dabei geht es um die zentrale Frage: Welches sind die Prozesse, die das Vorkommen der Arten bestimmen? Fallbeispiele sowie rund 140 Abbildungen vermitteln das Wissen anschaulich – auch für Einsteiger in die Ökologie geeignet.

Ökologie der Biozönosen (Springer-Lehrbuch)

Phytophagie, Prädation, Konkurrenz und Mutualismus bestimmen die vielfältigen Wechselbeziehungen zwischen Pflanzen, Tieren und Mikroorganismen in ihren jeweiligen Lebensräumen. In dieser ersten deutschsprachigen Einführung zur Ökologie der Biozönosen betrachten die Autoren die Wirkungen dieser Interaktionen: auf die Zahl der Arten und Individuen und auf die Regulationsprozesse in Biozönosen. Grundlagen und jüngste Forschungsergebnisse werden anhand zahlreicher Fallbeispiele und detailgenauer Zeichnungen und Grafiken anschaulich vermittelt.

Ökophysik: Plaudereien über das Leben auf dem Land, im Wasser und in der Luft

Prof. em. Dr. rer. nat. Werner Nachtigall, geb. 1934, war als Zoophysiologe und Biophysiker Leiter des Zoologischen Instituts der Universität des Saarlandes in Saarbrücken. In Forschung und Ausbildung hat er sich insbesondere mit Aspekten der Technischen Biologie und Bionik befasst und mit seinen Forschergruppen viele Basisdaten insbesondere zur Ökologie, Physiologie und Physik des Fliegens und Schwimmens aber auch zur Stabilität beispielsweise der Gräser erarbeitet. Lebewesen überraschen immer wieder durch ihre "Biodiversität", ihre hochspezifischen Ausgestaltungen und Anpassungen. Dabei nützen sie auch alle physikalischen Grundgesetzlichkeiten. Das zentrale Thema ist die Ortsbewegung, die ja auf dem Boden und in den Fluiden (Wasser, Luft) denkbar unterschiedlich abläuft. Ergänzende Themenkreise sind Körpergröße und Stoffwechsel, Atmung und Atemgastransport, Wärme- und Wasserhaushalt. Mit dem vorliegenden Buch, das in Zusammenarbeit mit Dr. rer. nat. Alfred Wisser entstanden ist, stellt er solche Forschungsergebnisse in einen größeren Rahmen und berichtet kenntnisreich und allgemein verständlich über die "Ökophysik" des Lebens auf dem Land, im Wasser und in der Luft – mit Gewinn zu lesen von jedem, der sich für Biologie oder für Physik interessiert (oder gar für beides).

The Old Man and the Sand Eel

'A wonderfully fluent account of how the strange magic of water and the beings that inhabit it can enchant and intoxicate' Chris YatesGrowing up on the Cambridgeshire Fens, Will Millard never felt more at home than when he was out with his granddad on the riverbank, whiling away the day catching fish. As he grew older his competitive urge to catch more and bigger fish led him away from that natural connection between him, his grandfather and the rivers of his home. That is, until the fateful day he let a record-breaking sand eel slip through his fingers and he knew that he had lost the magic of those days down by the river, and that something had to change. The Old Man and the Sand Eel is at its heart the story of three generations of men trying to figure out what it is to be a man, a father and a fisherman. It plots Will's scaly stepping stones back to his childhood innocence, when anything was possible and the wild was everywhere.***'[Will Millard] is a master wordsmith and his first book is a joyful testament to that' Isabelle Broom, Heat'[Will Millard] writes with a genuine sense of humility (...) humour and reflection' Kevin Parr, Countryfile 'Delightful and informative (...) beautifully drawn (...)The Old Man and The Sand Eel will be enjoyed by anyone who loves the challenge and mystery of baiting a hook and plopping it into the water' Spectator'This is post-modern nature writing that embraces beauty where it finds it and marvels at nature's tenacity (...) But there's more here than just fish. This is also a book about growing up, about how to retain a connection with those who raised you while forging your own identity - what to keep and what to discard. And it's about men. The strong surges of emotion that both draw them together and keep them apart, and the shared pastimes which recognise that intimacy and meaning aren't always accompanied by words' Olivia Edward, Geographical
