        Colouring the Caribbean

        Race and the art of Agostino Brunias

        by Mia L. Bagneris

        Colouring the Caribbean offers the first comprehensive study of Agostino Brunias's intriguing pictures of colonial West Indians of colour - so called 'Red' and 'Black' Caribs, dark-skinned Africans and Afro-Creoles, and people of mixed race - made for colonial officials and plantocratic elites during the late-eighteenth century. Although Brunias's paintings have often been understood as straightforward documents of visual ethnography that functioned as field guides for reading race, this book investigates how the images both reflected and refracted ideas about race commonly held by eighteenth-century Britons, helping to construct racial categories while simultaneously exposing their constructedness and underscoring their contradictions. The book offers provocative new insights about Brunias's work gleaned from a broad survey of his paintings, many of which are reproduced here for the first time.

        Una cabeza distinta (A different head)

        by Luis Panini, Chiara Carrer

        This child tells us that he is not happy with the head that he has. He thinks it is a wrong head. The parents, after listening to him, take him to a specialist, who agrees with the little one. A mysterious man dressed in black supplies him with heads in exchange for his own. The child tries several, until he finds the one he was looking for. A reindeer head, a crocodile head, a whisk head: the narrator child and protagonist of this story tells us about his disagreement with the head he has and the vicissitudes that he has to go through to find the head with which he will finally agree: the head of a grown man, of a mathematician. This is a story of search for identity and growth, developed with fine fantasy and humor, with the wisdom of someone he has sought and perhaps already found.

        Animal Migration

        by Gretel H. Schueller and Sheila K. Schueller

        Migration is one of the most fascinating and dramatic of all animal behaviors. From insects and birds to reindeer and giant whales, many animals fly, swim, walk, and even hitchhike in search of better food, milder climate, or a suitable mate. Some cross entire oceans; a few even circle the globe. These marathon journeys animals take are filled with great tests of physical strength and endurance—as well as danger and sometimes death. In Animal Migration, learn why animals are compelled to migrate and the various patterns and cycles of their migrations.

        Nutrition and Feeding Organic Cattle

        by Robert Blair

        Organic cattle farming is on the increase, with consumer demand for organic milk and meat growing yearly. Beginning with an overview of the aims and principles behind organic cattle production, this book presents extensive information about how to feed cattle so that the milk and meat produced meet organic standards, and provides a comprehensive summary of ruminant digestive processes and nutrition. Since the publication of the first edition, global consumers have increasingly become concerned with the sustainability of meat production. Here, Robert Blair considers the interrelationships of sustainable practices and profitability of organic herds, reviewing how to improve forage production and quality, and minimizing the need for supplementary feeding using off-farm ingredients. This new edition also covers: - Managing a recurrent shortage of organic feed ingredients, due to increased GM feed crop cultivation worldwide - Current findings on appropriate breeds and grazing systems for forage-based organic production - Diet-related health issues in organic herds and the effects of organic production on meat and milk quality. Required reading for animal science researchers, advisory personnel that service the organic milk and beef industries and students interested in organic milk and meat production, this book is also a useful resource for organic farming associations, veterinarians, and feed and food industry personnel.

        Die Unermesslichkeit

        by David Vann, Miriam Mandelkow

        Gary und Irene wollen sich ein letztes Mal zusammenraufen, ihre verkorkste Ehe retten, nicht jeder für sich zugrunde gehen. Gary hatte einst einen Traum: Sie lebten in einer einfachen Holzhütte auf Caribou Island, einer kleinen Insel vor Alaska, sie waren glücklich, die Schrecken der Vergangenheit hatten sie hinter sich gelassen. Während eines Unwetters machen sie sich auf den Weg. Schon kurz nach ihrer Ankunft packt Irene die Angst. Sie sind schlecht vorbereitet, um sie herum ragt die Wildnis, gewaltig, unbarmherzig und von undurchdringlicher Schönheit. Als der Winter kommt, treibt die Einsamkeit der Insel das Paar immer weiter auseinander, Beklemmung stürzt um in Wut. Auch ihre Tochter Rhoda, die mit ihrem eigenen Leben, ihrer eigenen Beziehung alle Hände voll zu tun hat, vermag die beiden nicht zu beruhigen. Hingebungsvoll, aber hilflos muss sie vom Festland aus zusehen, wie ihre Eltern sich langsam, aber sicher zerfleischen. 'Die Unermesslichkeit' erzählt eine dunkle, wahrhaftige Geschichte von den Kämpfen zwischen Mann und Frau – ein packendes Meisterwerk über die letzte Gewissheit, dass wir uns selbst nicht entrinnen können.
