The ArtsFebruary 2019Bertrand Tavernier
by Lynn Anthony Higgins
Bertrand Tavernier is widely recognized as the leading French filmmaker of his generation. Both a consummate artist and a controversial public figure, he is a passionate advocate for social causes and also a tireless defender of world cinema in general and the French cinematic heritage in particular. Lynn Higgins' book offers a guided tour through Tavernier's oeuvre, taking into account both its prodigious diversity and its unifying themes. It explores his use of genre and adaptation, his work with actors and his affection for characters, his treatment of France's colonial history, his explorations of the powers of art and the complexities of intergenerational relations, both among fictional characters and within French cinema history. This is the most comprehensive and up-to-date scholarly book about Tavernier. Original and lively, sophisticated and engaging, the book will appeal to anyone interested in film studies, gender studies, and French cultural studies including academics, students, cinema enthusiasts, and Tavernier fans.

August 1978Tagebuch des Schweinekriegs
Roman. Aus dem Spanischen von Karl August Horst
by Adolfo Bioy Casares, Karl August Horst
Diario de la guerra del cerdo - so der Originaltitel dieses Werks aus dem Jahr 1969 - ist der vierte Roman des argentinischen Autors, er spielt in Buenos Aires und in Bioys seit Jahren bevorzugtem Milieu des bescheidenen Mittelstands. Don Isidro Vidal, der Protagonist, gerät unvermutet in Umstände, die das kleine Einmaleins seiner Welterfahrung nicht lösen kann. Er ist Rentner, hat, da seine Frau ihn nach kurzer Ehe verließ, den Sohn allein aufgezogen. Vidal junior, revolutionär indoktriniert, straft den Alten und sein gedankenloses Dasein - im Zimmer hocken, Radio hören, im Park spazieren, wöchentliches Trucospiel im Café mit »den Jungens«, gleichaltrigen ausrangierten Männern – mit Verachtung. Vidal Vater ist sich seines Alterns bewußt: Erkenntnis und Toleranz der Schwächen seiner Freunde, zunehmende Unsicherheit im Umgang mit Nachbarn und Fremden. Ein Zahnübel zieht ihn für einige Tage aus diesem beschränkten Verkehr, und als er zurückkehrt, weiß er als einziger nicht, daß ein Krieg der Jungen gegen die Alten, die »Schweine«, ausgebrochen ist und ihre Liquidierung betreibt. Der Krieg ist nicht so sehr Absage der Jugend an die Vergangenheit, wie Aufruhr gegen die Bilder ihrer eigenen Zukunft. Während der Schreckensereignisse verhalten sich die Stammtischfreunde verschieden: geil, geldgierig, würdelos, angstvoll versagend. Vidal besteht den Krieg in ähnlicher Weise wie sein bisheriges Leben. Er ist, ohne es im geringsten zu wissen, ein Held.

The ArtsJanuary 2019Bertrand Blier
by Sue Harris
The most complete study of Blier's work to date, Harris traces the director's career from the early 1960s until the present. Outlines the forms, themes and style which dominate in Blier's work, and challenges the many labels that have been used to describe both the corpus of films and the man himself. Provides an original and controversial discussion of Blier's alleged 'misogyny', and invites the reader to understand the scatological and corporeal aspects of Blier's filmmaking in terms of long-established traditions of popular dramatic culture. Brings to light the comic mechanisms underpinning Blier's films and identifies strategies which navigate through one of the most entertaining and disconcerting bodies of work of recent years. The first book on Blier published in English.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2013Tyrants of Sicily by Hugo Falcandus
by Graham Loud, Thomas Wiedemann
This book is our principal source for the history of the Kingdom of Sicily in the troubled years between the death of its founder, King Roger, in February 1154 and the spring of 1169. It covers the reign of Roger's son, King William I, known to later centuries as 'the Bad', and the minority of the latter's son, William II 'the Good'. The book illustrates the revival of classical learning during the twelfth-century renaissance. It presents a vivid and compelling picture of royal tyranny, rebellion and factional dispute at court. Sicily had historically been ruled by tyrants, and that the rule of the new Norman kings could be seen, for a variety of reasons, as a revival of that classical tyranny. A more balanced view of Sicilian history of the period 1153-1169 has been provided as an appendix to the translation in the section of the contemporary world chronicle ascribed to Archbishop Romuald II of Salerno, who died in April 1181. In particular the chronicle of Romuald enables us to see how the papal schism of 1159 and the simultaneous dispute between the German Emperor Frederick Barbarossa and the north Italian cities affected the destiny of the kingdom of Sicily. In contrast to the shadowy figure of Hugo Falcandus, the putative author of the principal narrative of mid-twelfth-century Sicilian history, Romuald II, Archbishop of Salerno 1153-1181, is well-documented.

Insecticide & herbicide technologyDecember 2004Western Corn Rootworm
Ecology and Management
by Edited by Stefan Vidal, Ulrich Kuhlmann, C R Edwards
Western Corn Rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, has been a major economic pest of maize in the Americas for many years. However, since the early 1990's it has become an increasing threat to crops in Europe and is expected to spread to all maize growing areas of the continent. This book provides a comprehensive review of current knowledge of the biology and ecology of this insect pest and how it might be managed in order to limit its damage as it spreads into new agroecological areas. Cultural, biotechnical, and biological control measures are addressed, as are ecological baseline data such as population dynamics, economic thresholds and aspects of its behaviour. The book also examines the potential of plant protection techniques currently used in North America to be applied in Europe.

Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 2024Anarchism and eugenics
An unlikely convergence, 1890-1940
by Richard Cleminson
At the heart of this book is what would appear to be a striking and fundamental paradox: the espousal of a 'scientific' doctrine that sought to eliminate 'dysgenics' and champion the 'fit' as a means of 'race' survival by a political and social movement that ostensibly believed in the destruction of the state and the removal of all hierarchical relationships. What explains this reception of eugenics by anarchism? How was eugenics mobilised by anarchists as part of their struggle against capitalism and the state? What were the consequences of this overlap for both anarchism and eugenics as transnational movements?
