By far the biggest change to The UK Pesticide Guide in 2020 is the loss of a number of active ingredients that have been fundamental to many crop protection programmes. The final use-up of chlorothalonil formulations; propiconazole, fenpropimorph, chloridazon and diquat occurs in 2020 but there are also a few of exciting new additions. Aclonifen is a new residual herbicide for use in potatoes that already has a number of EAMUs for use in minor crops. BASF is launching its new triazole, mefentrifluconazole, which promises to restore full triazole activity, at least initially. On the insecticide front the new active ingredient from Corteva agriscience, sulfoxaflor, is now listed for use in Cucurbitae and ornamentals under full protection for control of aphids and whitefly.

Winner of the ASAA mid-career book prize in Asian Studies 2020 and joint winner of the 2020 Royal Studies Journal Book Prize Photographic subjects examines photography at royal celebrations during the reign of Queens Wilhelmina (1898-1948) and Juliana (1948-80), a period spanning the zenith and fall of Dutch rule in Indonesia. It is the first monograph in English on the Dutch monarchy and the Netherlands' modern empire in the age of mass and amateur photography. Photographs forged imperial networks, negotiated relations of recognition and subjecthood between Indonesians and Dutch authorities, and informed cultural modes of citizenship at a time of accelerated colonial expansion and major social change in the East Indies/Indonesia. This book advances methods in the uses of photographs for social and cultural history and provides a new interpretation of Queens Wilhelmina and Juliana as imperial monarchs.

Sweets for the Medor is a collection of essays by Andriy Bondar written between 2017 and 2020. Essay writing here is a way to explore and rethink the world through one’s system of values and experience. Honesty here is intertwined with intellectual reflection. Deeper meanings and sometimes unexpected conclusions hide behind the form of short prose. Voids can be filled, and the definition of "falling from the height of one's own body" can refer not only to bodily injury, but also to a moral fall, which always occurs from the height of one's own ethical structures, and losses can later turn into gains, you just need to look at them from a different angle.

José Revueltas wurde 1914 in Durango (Mexiko) geboren. Er stammte aus einer in einfachen Verhältnissen lebenden Familie, deren Kinder auf unterschiedlichen künstlerischen Gebieten Berühmtheit erlangten. Noch während seiner Schulzeit trat er der Kommunistischen Partei seines Landes bei. 1929 wurde er erstmals wegen Aufruhrs verhaftet. Danach arbeitete er als Journalist, bevor er 1934 wegen 'subversiver Tätigkeit' erneut angeklagt und zu mehreren Jahren Haft verurteilt wurde. 1961 trat er aus der Partei aus und gründete die trotzkistische Liga Espartaco. 1975 gründete er die politisch engagierte Literaturzeitschrift 'Cambio'. Revueltas' Œeuvre umfaßt Romane, Erzählungen, Dramen und Essays, in denen sein politisch engagiertes Leben deutliche Spuren hinterlassen hat. So sind seine vornehmlichen Motive soziale Ungerechtigkeit, sexuelle wie auch moralische Konflikte und Verbrechen, die er mittels neuer Erzähltechniken zu inszenieren weiß. Zu seinen bekanntesten Werken gehören der Roman El luto humano ('Menschentrauer'), und die Erzählung El apando (dt. 'Eingelocht', 1991) von 1969. Revueltas war einer der wenigen lebenslang konsequenten Rebellen im Mexiko der Nach-revolutionsära. Er starb 1976 an den Spätfolgen eines Hungerstreiks in Mexiko Stadt.

This is the first edition for students and general readers of this pro-woman reply to Shakespeare's 'The Taming of the Shrew' by a playwright (John Fletcher) who was more admired than Shakespeare in the seventeenth century. Co-edited by a feminist critic and a distinguished textual scholar, this new textbook makes clear why "The Tamer Tamed" should be restored to the theatrical repertoire and the literary canon. It includes the fullest commentary ever provided for the play, explaining for modern students Fletcher's verbal exuberance and his uninhibited sexual language. The full critical introduction describes the play's Renaissance context, its historical and literary sources (including Aristophanes's "Lysistrata"), and its subversive relationship to Shakespeare's "Shrew" and Ben Jonson's "The Silent Woman". It also surveys the play's subsequent theatrical and critical history. A unique and essential companion to the numerous textbook editions of Shakespeare's play, "The Tamer Tamed" provides exciting new material for current debates about the history of gender, marriage, and drama. ;

Adopting the story-within-a-story structure of Arabian Nights, author Osama Alaysa weaves together a collection of stories portraying centuries of oppression endured by the Palestinian people. This remarkable novel eloquently brings together fictional characters alongside real-life historical figures in a complex portrayal of Bethlehem and the Dheisheh Refugee Camp in the West Bank. The common thread connecting each tale is madness, in all its manifestations. Psychological madness, in the sense of clinical mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, finds expression alongside acts of social and political madness. Together, these accounts of individuals and communities provide a gateway into the histories of the city of Bethlehem and Palestine. They paint a picture of the centuries of political oppression that the Palestinian people have endured, from the days of the Ottoman Empire to the years following the Oslo Accords, and all the way to 2012 (when the novel was written). The novel is divided into three sections, each containing multiple narratives. The first section, “The Book of a Genesis,” describes the physical spaces and origins of Bethlehem and Dheisheh Refugee Camp. These stories span the 19th and 20th centuries, transitioning smoothly from one tale to another to offer an intricate interpretation of the identity of these places. The second section, “The Book of the People Without a Book”, follows parallel narratives of the lives of the patients in a psychiatric hospital in Bethlehem, the mad men and women roaming the streets of the city, and those imprisoned by the Israeli authorities. All suffer abuse, but they also reaffirm their humanity through the relationships, romantic and otherwise, that they form. The third and final section, “An Ephemeral Book,” follows individuals—Palestinian and non-Palestinian—who are afflicted by madness following the Oslo Accords in 1993. These stories give voice to the perspectives of the long-marginalized Palestinian population, narrating the loss of land and the accompanying loss of sanity in the decades of despair and violence that followed the Nakba, the 1948 eviction of some 700,000 Palestinians from their homes. The novel’s mad characters—politicians, presidents, doctors, intellectuals, ordinary people and, yes, Dheisheh and Bethlehem themselves—burst out of their narrative threads, flowing from one story into the next. Alaysa’s crisp, lucid prose and deft storytelling chart a clear path through the chaos with dark humor and wit. The result is an important contribution to fiction on the Palestinian crisis that approaches the Palestinians, madness, and Palestinian spaces with compassion and depth.
