March 2005Friedrich Schiller
by Volker C. Dörr, Volker C. Dörr
In einer Zeit großer politischer Umwälzungen, in Sorge um seine finanzielle Existenz, von Krankheit gezeichnet, schrieb Friedrich Schiller Literatur, die von der Spannung zwischen dem Ideal und dem Leben geprägt ist. Längst sind seine Werke kanonisch geworden, sie werden viel gelesen, oft parodiert und noch häufiger verkürzt – auf die berühmten Dichterworte über das Wahre, Gute, Schöne.

Agricultural scienceJuly 2002Global Rangelands
Progress and Prospects
by Anthony C Grice, Ken C Hodgkinson
Although traditionally defined as areas where natural vegetation is exploited for grazing by domestic and native herbivores, rangelands are used by many different people, for a host of purposes. As well as livestock products, rangelands provide fuels, minerals and water and are used for ecotourism, recreation, nature conservation and as carbon sinks. More than half of the earth's land surface is rangeland and millions of people, both within and outside the rangelands, depend on them. This book addresses the important issues confronting the rangelands and presents new concepts and approaches for the management of rangeland resources. It is relevant to the people who live in or depend on the rangelands, and to the institutions and organisations that support them.

The environmentSeptember 2004Integrated Resource and Environmental Management
The Human Dimension
by Alan W Ewert, Douglas C Baker, Glyn C Bissix
Integrated Resource and Environmental Management (IREM) can be defined as both a management process and a philosophy, that takes into account the many values associated with natural resources within a particular area.This book presents an overview and history of natural resource management, from a global perspective. It discusses the challenges facing IREM by examining issues such as conflict, property rights and the role of science in the management of natural resource. It also addresses the definition and application of IREM from several different contexts, including real-world applications, planning frameworks, and complex systems. It provides a comprehensive aid in natural resource decision-making within the context of the “real world.”

Animal husbandryJune 1995Tropical Legumes in Animal Nutrition
by J P F D'Mello, C Devendra
Legumes have diverse uses and roles in agriculture and environmental protection. They are particularly important in the tropics for a number of reasons. Browse or tree species are renowned for their drought resistance and their role in the prevention of desertification. All legumes can fix atmospheric nitrogen, thus reducing the cost of fertilizers to farmers who may not be able to afford them. While tropical grasses are often of poor nutritive value, both browse and pasture legumes may have a higher protein content, palatability and digestibility. This volume focuses on the use of tropical browse, pasture and grain legumes in animal nutrition. It is written by leading authorities from the UK, Australia, India and Malaysia.

April 2006Komposition für den Film
by Theodor W. Adorno, Hanns Eisler, Johannes C. Gall, Johannes C. Gall
Adornos und Eislers Buch, das erstmals 1947 in englischer Sprache erschien, gehört zu den Klassikern der Musik-, aber auch der Filmtheorie. Es entstand als Gemeinschaftsarbeit im amerikanischen Exil, in der Folge zweier von der Rockefeller Foundation geförderter Forschungsprojekte: Im Rahmen des von Paul Lazarsfeld geleiteten »Radio Research Project« betrieb Adorno Studien zur Musik im Rundfunk, die in das zu Lebzeiten Fragment gebliebene Buch Current of Music eingegangen sind; Eisler lotete im »Film Music Project« die Funktionen, Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Filmmusik aus. Dabei galt Eislers Arbeit zunächst weniger abstrakten Analysen und Erwägungen als der Komposition exemplarischer Filmpartituren und der anschließenden Produktion und Evaluation von Demonstrationsfilmen. Zu den künstlerischen Ergebnissen des Projekts zählen das berühmte Quintett Vierzehn Arten den Regen zu beschreiben als neue und neuartige Filmmusik zu Joris Ivens' »cinépoème« Regen ebenso wie die Tonspuren zu White Flood und zu A Child Went Forth, einem frühen Film von Joseph Losey. Auch komponierte Eisler zu einem Ausschnitt aus dem Klassiker The Grapes of Wrath von John Ford zwei experimentelle Filmpartituren als Alternative zu Alfred Newmans Musik in der Verleihfassung. Die DVD, die dem Band beiliegt, dokumentiert diese Filme und Filmmusikexperimente teils in originaler und restaurierter, teils in rekonstruierter Form. Cineasten und Philosophen, Musik- und Kulturwissenschaftler werden gleichermaßen begeistert sein. Erstmals liegt das großangelegte »Film Music Project« in der Form vor, die ihm gebührt.Mit in ihrem originalen deutschen Wortlaut erstmals publizierten Textpassagen, einem Entwurf zum Filmmusikbuch von Theodor W. Adorno und einer zweisprachig (deutsch/englisch) angelegten DVD: »Hanns Eislers Rockefeller-Filmmusik-Projekt 1940–1942«

September 1975The Best of H. C. Artmann
by H. C. Artmann, Klaus Reichert
Von allen deutschen Autoren, die nach 1945 zu schreiben begannen, ist Artmann ohne jeden Zweifel der vielseitigste, originellste und erfinderischste. So wie Artmann in fast allen Gattungen gearbeitet hat, auch den angeblich antiquierten, und ohne sich um die Tagesparolen der mal reine Dichtung betreibenden, mal engagierten, mal die Literatur totsagenden Kollegen zu kümmern, so hat er seine Quellen, seine Herkunft überall: in der Artusepik, in barocker Schäferpoesie, in den Wörterbüchern und Grammatiken von gut zwei Dutzend Sprachen, in Irland und im England des Sherlock Holmes, bei Villon und dem Wiener Vorstadtdialekt, Lorca, Gomez de la Serna, den Surrealisten und Dadaisten, in den Detektivheftchen der 20er Jahre und den Comic strips von damals bis heute. Unsere Auswahl versucht, nicht nur einen repräsentativen Querschnitt durch das Werk Artmanns zu geben, sondern gleichzeitig Verstreutes, an entlegensten Orten Publiziertes zu sammeln.

Animal husbandryOctober 1998Response in the Yield of Milk Constituents to the Intake of Nutrients by Dairy Cows
by P C Thomas, David E Beever, P J Buttery, J C MacRae, J D Oldham. Edited by Geoffrey Alderman.
This report reviews the energy and protein requirement systems for dairy cows currently used in Britain and presents a new approach, along with the outline of a model for its implementation. Current systems give little consideration to the responses of the animal to changes in the nutrient supply, or to interactions between dietary constituents in their effects on digestion and metabolism. Neither do they predict any effect on the partition of nutrient use between milk and body, or changes in the yields of milk fat, protein and lactose, which determine the commercial value of the milk. Therefore the systems, although not inaccurate, lack relevance to the current needs of UK milk producers. Models which embody concepts of nutrient supply and utilization are reviewed and their development as viable alternatives is considered. It is concluded that a new diet formulation system for dairy cows should aim to predict voluntary feed intake, the partition of nutrient use between milk production and tissue deposition, and the short and long-term of effects of nutrition on fat, protein and lactose yields. The physical and biological characteristics of the cow must also be recognized and incorporated into any model for response prediction. The report is also published in Nutrition Abstracts and Reviews - Series B: Livestock Feeds and Feeding. It is an authoritative review for advanced students, research workers and advisors in animal nutrition and in dairy science and technology.
