Wie ein preußischer Forscher in Spanien Geschichte schrieb
by Ursula Naumann
Früh am Morgen des 20. August 1860 trifft der ostpreußische Jurist Gustav Bergenroth in Simancas, einem abgelegenen Dorf in Kastilien, ein. Sein Ziel: das spanische Staatsarchiv, ein altes, mit dicken Mauern, Graben, Türmen und Zinnen bewehrtes Kastell, das erst seit kurzem für Forscher zugänglich ist. Er will die Tudorzeit, die farbigste Epoche der englischen Geschichte, erforschen. Doch er ahnt nicht, was ihn erwartet: Unendliche Mengen an verschlüsselten Depeschen, die vor ihm noch niemand entziffert hat. In achteinhalb Jahren knackt er unter widrigsten Umständen die kompliziertesten Codes – eine kryptologische Meisterleistung. Was er dabei entdeckt und in scharfsinnigen, illusionslosen Berichten veröffentlicht, stellt festgefügte Geschichtsbilder auf den Kopf und schockiert seine Zeitgenossen. Wer ist dieser Gustav Bergenroth? Geboren und aufgewachsen in der masurischen Provinz, engagierter Demokrat, Barrikadenkämpfer in der 48er Revolution, nach deren Niederschlagung Flucht nach Kalifornien, dann Emigration nach London – er hat schon einiges hinter sich an abenteuerlichen Erfahrungen. Doch Simancas wird zum entscheidenden Kapitel seines wechselvollen Lebens. Ursula Naumann hat eine glänzend recherchierte und mitreißend erzählte Biographie geschrieben. Sie zeichnet nichts weniger als das Bild eines Mannes, der, gegen seine Zeit, die Geschichtswissenschaft revolutionierte. - Die aufregende Geschichte einer historischen Recherche - Glänzend recherchiert und fesselnd geschrieben

Agronomy & crop productionNovember 2011Crop Stress Management and Global Climate Change
by Edited by Jose Luis Araus, Gustavo A Slafer.
Climate change is a diverse, multifactorial phenomenon, meaning that the agronomic strategies needed are case-specific and will have regional differences. This book provides an integrated view of the challenges and opportunities that will face agriculture in the future as a result of climate change. It discusses how the stresses resulting from climate change can be overcome by assessing, measuring and predicting environmental changes and stresses, identifying opportunities and adapting to change and responding to multifactorial change. Challenges and potential strategies that might be taken to overcome these are illustrated using a number of case studies. Climate change will pose many challenges to agriculture in the future, but by taking an integrative approach to predicting and adapting to change, this book will inspire researchers to turn those challenges into opportunities.

November 2023Tourism, heritage and commodification of non-human animals
a post-humanist reflection
by Álvaro López-López, Gino Jafet Quintero Venegas, Carol Kline, Tomas Arias, Jean Azcatl Pineda, Alicia Mariana Penélope Castro Pérez, Bobbie Chew Bigby, Émilie Crossley, Johan Edelheim, Georgina Flores, Carolin Funck, Leonardo Garavito-González, Yulei Guo, Jes Hooper, Brenda Martínez Velasco, Alejandro Morales, Gustavo Ortiz-Millán, Mateo Nicolás Rico Medina, Jorge Iván Ruiz Barrera, Javed Salim, Estephania Sepúlveda Perdomo, Rie Usui, David A. Varela-Trejo, Nusrat Yasmeen
Heritage is a social construction rooted in modern and contemporary societies. It is commonly a positive assessment of many elements of the physical and human environment (e.g. ecosystems and landscapes, monuments, customs, gender norms, religious practices, gastronomy, and livelihoods). Heritage and tourism are strongly related to each other in that heritage gives rise to tourist attractions and activities, and tourism enhances the designation of heritage sites. Non-human animals (hereafter 'animals') are present as implicit or explicit heritage elements through multiple tourist environments: animals may be themselves the heritage focus of tourist interest (visual arts, gastronomy, as charismatic and distinguished beings, as part of festivities or rituals), or it may be that animals are agents involved in heritage tourist environments such as working animals or in recreational activities. A post-humanist perspective the moral valuation of equality between humans and other animals demands that both are sentient beings and self-aware of their pain and pleasure. Thus, the involvement of animals as heritage elements by themselves or as an element of tourist consumption in heritage sites implies their commodification and lack of agency. As such, these practices are usually unethical, since they threaten the animals' primary interests: not to suffer, not to feel pain and to be able to live their freedom. This book contains chapters that reveal both the unethical interactions between humans and animals within heritage tourism, and those that show experiences in which efforts are made to minimize damage within the commercialization of animals involved as heritage themselves. It will be of interest to postgraduate students, academics, NGOs and tourism planners.

Food manufacturing & related industriesOctober 2011Natural Antimicrobials in Food Safety and Quality
by Wolf-Rainer Abraham, Maria do Carmo de Freire Bastos, Nicoletta Belletti, Patrick J Cullen, Isabel M P L V O Ferreira, Mendel Friedman, Antonio Gálvez, Pilar García Suárez, Gustavo Gonzàlez, Riadh Hammami, El Akrem Hayouni, Vijay K Juneja, Khaoula Khwaldia, Ching-Hsing Liao, Marta Mari, Faid Mohamed, Caterina Morcia, Victor O Oyetayo, Mehdi Razzaghi-Abyaneh, Claudia Ruiz-Capillas, Yuanxia Sun, Ljubisa Topisirovic. Edited by Mahendra Rai, Michael Chikindas.
The demands of producing high quality, pathogen-free food rely increasingly on natural sources of antimicrobials to inhibit food spoilage organisms, foodborne pathogens and toxins. Discovery and development of new antimicrobials from natural sources for a wide range of applications requires that knowledge of traditional sources for food antimicrobials is combined with the latest technologies in identification, characterization and application. This book explores some novel, natural sources of antimicrobials as well as the latest developments in using well-known antimicrobials in food. Covering antimicrobials derived from microbial sources (bacteriophages, bacteria, algae, fungi), animal-derived products (milk proteins, chitosan, reduction of biogenic amines), plants and plant-products (essential oils, phytochemicals, bioactive compounds), this book includes the development and use of natural antimicrobials for processed and fresh food products. New and emerging technologies concerning antimicrobials are also discussed.

Sleipness, Maria Anunciação Ventura, Therez B. Walker
Gateway communities that neighbour parks and protected areas are impacted by tourism, while facing unique circumstances related to protected area management. Economic dependency remains a serious challenge for these communities, especially in a climate of neoliberalism, top-down policy environments, and park closures related to environmental degradation or government budgets. The collection of works in this edited book provide bottom-up, informed, and nuanced approaches to tourism management using local experiences from gateway communities and protected areas management emerging from a decade of guidelines, rulemaking, and exclusive decision-making. Global perspectives are presented and contextualized at the local level of gateway communities in an attempt to balance nature, community, and commerce, while supporting the triple bottom line of sustainable tourism. While anticipating a post-COVID 19 global shift, readers are encouraged to think through transformation and resiliency in regard to how the flux of supply vs demand alters gateway community perspectives on tourism. Specific features of this book include: · Focus on transformations, which provides insight into the complex and dynamic nature of gateway communities. · Multidisciplinary, multi-cultural insights into protected area management. · Applied and conceptual chapters from global perspectives.

Tourism offers countless global locations, providing a multitude of sensory experiences. These include commercialised tourism products such as saunas and floatation tanks through to natural phenomenon such as mountains and wilderness destinations. Consequently, sensory elements are a curious concept within tourism because every destination provides a sensory experience of one kind or another. The first of its kind, this book examines holidays and tourism through sensory perceptions which either encourage or deter consumers. It studies sensoryscapes and how they effect and affect tourism at destinations and be linked with the development of tourist niches, reflecting the segmenting of the mass market tourism into smaller segments. Finally, it reflects on how with increased urbanisation there a growing need is to find quiet spaces, free from urban or anthropogenic noise, such as silent retreats and dark sky meditation holidays. Escape has always been one of the main components of tourism development together with attraction to spatial locations that match tourists' needs. Structed to address each of the senses separately, this book provides a: · wide range of case studies from interdisciplinary backgrounds · links amongst common themes across the various threads of research on sensory experiences · theoretical framework and practical application for sensory tourism. It will be of interest to those studying tourism management as well as wider social science disciplines.

Tilapia are a group of cichlid fish endemic to tropical freshwater in Africa, Jordan and Israel, that are extremely nutritious and in high global demand. They are a popular species to farm because of their relative ease of culture, their tolerance to relatively high stocking densities, large size, rapid growth and palatability. As a thorough exploration of tilapia aquaculture, this book emphasizes the significance of this group of fish and discusses the crucial elements of tilapia farming, including their reproductive and genetic characteristics, the various cultivation systems employed and the emerging governance of the practice. It also addresses important health management issues, focusing on nutrition, immunology, and animal welfare and extensively analyses the diseases that afflict tilapia, how they are diagnosed and what potential zoonotic hazards exist. The value of the book includes: Contributing to the wider understanding of tilapia aquaculture and the importance of the species to global food security. Providing an in-depth discussion on tilapia fish health, including major diseases, nutrition, immunology and disease prevention. Giving detailed insights into tilapia genetics, production systems, and reproduction. Written by an international team of experts to advance the long-term, sustainable growth of the global aquaculture industry, this book is a comprehensive and essential resource for anyone involved in or learning about tilapia farming.

Hurley, Fiona Impson, Cally Jansen, Nolweth
The book provides a comprehensive overview of current knowledge about "wattles", a large clade of over 1000 species of trees and shrubs in the genus Acacia, most of which are native to Australia. It examines the biology, ecology, evolution, and biogeography of wattles in their native ranges, including the evolutionary forces that have driven past speciation and adaptation to diverse environments, the conservation status, uses and human perceptions of these species. It considers the different histories of the introductions and proliferation of wattles as alien species in different parts of the world since c. 1850 (the Anthropocene), situated within relevant political, socio-economic and scientific contexts, together with an analysis of how awareness of their impacts as invasive species has changed over time. Differences in the dynamics and trends associated with the introduction, naturalization and invasion of wattles in different parts of the world are reviewed. The book also synthesizes the global distribution of wattles using diverse data sources, alongside trends, patterns and projections of global uses of wattles. It discusses the genetics, biotic interactions, and ecological, economic and social impacts of invasive wattles. The first comprehensive global synthesis in book form of aspects of the biology, ecology, biogeography and management of one of the world's most important woody plant genera. Provides the foundation for the assessment of evidence-based information required to formulate sustainable management strategies for non-native plants that have both benefits and negative impacts. Sheds new light on many aspects of plant invasion science. This book is aimed at academics and students in the field of ecology, and at managers of natural and anthropic ecosystems, policy-makers and regulators, and the general public interested in biology and environmental science.

RelationshipsFebruary 2021The Adventures of Little Gustavo
by Sr Curri, Santi Girón
Gustavo is a child with a lot of imagination, a big heart and very few lights, who thinks that putting a sweater on his shoulders gives him super powers. Manoli, his mother, goes out of her way to help him, but that doesn't stop her from also being aware of everything that is going on around him, including the affairs of her husband Matías, a man from another era, from the cave era to be precise, who devotes himself to something that nobody knows very well what it is, but that has all the appearance of being illegal. Gustavo is secretly in love with his cousin Macarena, a vitalist girl, proud and a bit conceited, who doesn't keep track of her boyfriends. Anthony, Macarena's teenage brother, doesn't stop picking on Gustavo. Luckily, he gets along with Emilio, his other cousin, a very joking boy who doesn't know who his father is, but who looks suspiciously like the neighborhood priest. In addition, his neighbor Santi and his cat Cervecita will make Gustavo's life very entertaining.
