Business, Economics & LawNovember 2024The Island Book of Records Volume II
1969-70
by Neil Storey
The second volume of this highly collectable series, covering the pivotal years of 1969-70. The Island Book of Records Volume II documents the years 1969-70, during which Island sought to build on its success with the Spencer Davis Group by seeking out new British rock talent. By the end of the period, Island was emerging as a major British label, one that could boast releases from Jethro Tull, Nick Drake, King Crimson, John and Beverley Martyn, Fairport Convention and Cat Stevens. Featuring material from recent interviews and from media interviews of the time, and including a comprehensive discography of 45s, The Island Book of Records Volume II is lavishly illustrated with gig adverts (very many at venues that no longer exist), concert tickets, flyers, international LP variants, labels, LP and 45 adverts and other ephemera collector's dream.

April 1993Das Bacon-Projekt
Von der Erkenntnis, Nutzung und Schonung der Natur
by Lothar Schäfer
"Das »Bacon-Projekt« definiert einen Grundzug der Moderne; während in der Antike die Erkenntnis der Natur als Selbstzweck galt, betrachtet sie die Neuzeit als ein Mittel zur Mehrung des allgemeinen Menschenwohls. Die Naturforschung soll die Entwicklung einer Technik ins Werk setzen und damit dem Menschen Machtmittel zur Verfügung stellen, durch die er sich aus materieller Not und Naturabhängigkeit befreien kann. Francis Bacon (1551-1626) war der Propagandist der neuen Zielbestimmung der Naturforschung. Die in den modernen Industrieländern praktizierte technische Form der Naturnutzung ist infolge der jetzt offenkundig werdenden Schädigungen an der Natur zunehmend unter Kritik geraten. Mit den Befunden der »ökologischen Krise« wird nicht nur auf die Bedrohlichkeit der Technikfolgeschäden hingewiesen, sondern es wird zugleich die neuzeitliche Art der Naturforschung für die absehbare Katastrophe verantwortlich gemacht. Hans Jonas hat deshalb verlangt, daß wir das »Baconsche Ideal« aufgeben und uns dem Gedanken der Bewahrung der Natur verschreiben. Nicht länger sollten Ziele und Zwecke des Menschen die Grundlage unseres Handelns gegenüber der Natur sein; das »Prinzip Verantwortung« gebiete vielmehr, die in der westlichen Zivilisation dominant gewesene »Anthropozentrik« zu verabschieden und die Eigenrechte der Natur in unserem Handeln zu respektieren. Gegen diese pauschale Beschuldigung der Moderne ist die vorliegende Studie gerichtet. Schäfer sieht durch die ökologische Krise nicht die Aufkündigung des Baconschen Ideals geboten - wohl aber eine drastische Revision des »Baconschen Programms«, d.h. der Mittel und Methoden, mit denen das Ideal seither verfolgt wurde."

October 2025British Dolichopodidae (Diptera)
by Martin Drake
This handbook covers British species of the family Dolichopodidae, popularly called long-legged flies. These are often attractive both visually and in their behaviour so the larger species will be familiar to most naturalists. The sexes are often strongly dimorphic, males having their legs and wings modified for signalling during sometimes complex courtship. Both the larvae and adults are predators, with the exception of one genus whose larvae are miners within monocotyledons. Most species are associated with wetlands from the sea shore to montane pools, while a small number have more xerophilic tendencies and others are associated with rot-holes or wood-boring beetles. Dolichopodids can play an important role in nature conservation assessment of sites as their habitat affinities, rarity status and distributions are fairly well known. This book focuses on the British fauna of about 327 species in 47 genera placed in 12 subfamilies. One species so far found only in Ireland is also included. The limits of several subfamilies are poorly defined, and phylogenetic relationships based on morphological and molecular data are also not always in agreement so the placement in this book of some genera differs from previous British checklists. In particular, some genera are assigned to the Peloropeodinae which has not been accepted previously in the British literature. Owing to their secondary sexual characteristics, males are easier to identify than females so separate keys are provided for nearly all genera. Some males can be separated reliably only by using genitalia characters which are therefore often included in the keys and are illustrated for most species. In a few cases no reliable differences have been found for females. Line drawings illustrate many of the characters mentioned in the couplets and photographs show representative species of all genera. Most keys are derived de novo rather than updating those already existing. Species accounts briefly describe the most important characters to confirm the identification arrived at using the key, distinctions from similar species that may occur in Britain, the distribution in Britain, and their habitat associations.

Insects (entomology)November 2012Radar Entomology
Observing Insect Flight and Migration
by Alistair Drake, Don R Reynolds
Many of the world's most serious agricultural pests are highly migratory. Through the use of special-purpose radars we are provided with insights into their movement and how they learn about and navigate through their environment. This text examines the behaviour and regional variations of these species, as well as the altitude of migration, concentration of insects in layers and how they respond to large and small-scale wind systems. The book relates radar observation of insect movement to complementary and competing methodologies and surveys its capabilities and limitations. It also deals with the applications of these findings in the management and forecasting of both pest and beneficial insects, and is an essential reference for those working in agricultural entomology and pest management.
