October 2024Nomos und Narrativ
Studien zur Theorie des Rechts
by Robert Cover, Benedict Vischer
Um den Sinn und die Kraft des Rechts zu erschließen, müssen wir weit über die formalen Bausteine staatlicher Rechtsordnungen hinausblicken. Ausgehend von der amerikanischen Bürgerrechtsbewegung und der jüdischen Rechtstradition erkunden Robert Covers bahnbrechende Essays die existenzielle Dichte rechtlicher Weltformung. Nachgezeichnet wird das Wechselspiel von Visionen, Narrativen, tätiger Hingabe und Gewalt, in dem eine unaufhebbare Vielfalt gesellschaftlicher Perspektiven um den Sinn des Rechts ringt. Kaum ein juristischer Autor hat in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten eine so breite interdisziplinäre Rezeption erfahren wie Cover. Mit diesem Band wird sein Werk nun erstmals in deutscher Sprache zugänglich gemacht.

March 2000Tristan und Isolde
Roman
by Joseph Bédier, Rudolf G. Binding
Seit vielen Jahrhunderten hat das durch einen Zaubertrick unlöslich ineinander verstrickte Liebespaar die Phantasie der Menschen beschäftigt. Aus den vielfachen französischen und deutschen Überlieferungen der Tristan-Sage hat der Romanist an der Sorbonne Joseph Bédier, ohne die alten Formen des Denkens und Fühlens mit modernen Auffassungen zu vermengen, diese Nacherzählung geschaffen. Die Holzschnitte dieser Ausgabe sind der von Anton Sorg in Augsburg im Jahre 1484 gedruckten »Historie von Tristan und Isolde« entnommen. Joseph Bédier schreibt in einer Anmerkung zu seinem Buch: »Ich habe in diesem Buch versucht, jegliche Vermischung des Alten und Modernen zu vermeiden. Die Unstimmigkeiten, die Anachronismen, die falschen Ausschmückungen auszumerzen … Niemals unsere modernen Auffassungen mit den alten Formen des Denkens und Fühlens zu vermengen: Das war mein Vorwurf, meine Arbeit und, ohne Zweifel, ach! meine Chimäre. Mein Text aber ist weither zusammengekommen, und wenn ich meine Quellen im einzelnen angeben wollte, müßte ich an den Fuß der Seiten eine solche Menge von Noten setzen, daß sie das kleine Buch belasteten und überwucherten.«

September 2021Applied Crop Physiology
Understanding the Fundamentals of Grain Crop Management
by Dennis Egli
This book presents a simple, straightforward discussion of the principles and processes involved in the production of grain yield by agronomic crops, and how these processes underlie and influence management decisions. The focus is on grain crops, principally maize and soybean, although the general principles apply equally well to cereals, grain legumes and oil crops. Management decisions define all cropping systems - what (crop species, variety), where (climate), when (planting date), and how (row spacing and population density) are the fundamental choices. Knowledge of the fundamental processes responsible for plant growth and the accumulation of yield simplifies the decision-making process and leads to improved management decisions, higher grain yields, and cropping systems that are efficient, resilient and sustainable. The contents include: · Basic plant growth processes e.g. photosynthesis, respiration, evapotranspiration · Growth and production of yield · Crop management - seed quality, variety selection, plant date, row spacing · Crop production in the future - climate change, GMOs, precision data and new crops Intended for researchers in crop science, agronomy and plant science, and crop production practitioners, this book will enable readers to make better, more informed management decisions; decisions that will help maintain a well-fed world in the future.

Science & MathematicsNovember 2023Crop Pollination by Bees, Volume 2
Individual Crops and their Bees
by Keith S Delaplane
Since the second half of the 20th Century, our agricultural bee pollinators have faced mounting threats from ecological disturbance and pan-global movement of pathogens and parasites. At the same time, the area of pollinator-dependent crops is increasing globally with no end in sight. Never before has so much been asked of our finite pool of bee pollinators. This book not only explores the evolutionary and ecologic bases of these dynamics, it translates this knowledge into practical research-based guidance for using bees to pollinate crops. It emphasizes conserving wild bee populations as well as culturing honey bees, bumble bees, and managed solitary bees. To cover such a range of biology, theory, and practice from the perspectives of both the pollinator and the crop, the book is divided into two volumes. Volume 1 focuses on bees, their biology, coevolution with flowering plants, foraging ecology and management, and gives practical ways to increase bee abundance and pollinating performance on the farm. Volume 2 (this volume) focuses on crops, with chapters addressing crop-specific requirements and bee pollination management recommendations. Both volumes are essential reading for farmers, horticulturists and gardeners, researchers and professionals working in insect ecology and conservation, and students of entomology and crop protection.

BiodiversityDecember 2007Crop Wild Relative Conservation and Use
by Edited by Nigel Maxted, Brian V Ford-Lloyd, Shelagh P Kell, José M Iriondo, Mohammad E Dulloo, Jozef Turok
Crop wild relatives (CWR) are species closely related to crop plants which can contribute beneficial traits, such as pest or disease resistance and yield improvement. These species are critical for improving agricultural production and increasing food security. They are also essential components of natural and semi-natural habitats as well as agricultural systems, and are therefore vital in maintaining ecosystem health. However, CWR, like any other group of wild species, are subject to an increasing range of threats: habitat loss, degradation and mismanagement, over-collection and climate change. Through an examination of the national, regional and global context of CWR, these authoritative studies present methodologies and case studies that review and provide recommendations for global conservation and use. Topics range from the establishment of conservation priorities and strategies, threat assessment and genetic erosion and pollution.

Technology, Engineering & AgricultureJune 2017Aphids as Crop Pests
by Helmut F van Emden, Richard Harrington
Aphids are among the major global pest groups, causing serious economic damage to many food and commodity crops in most parts of the world. This revision and update of the well-received first edition published ten years ago reflects the expansion of research in genomics, endosymbionts and semiochemicals, as well as the shift from control of aphids with insecticides to a more integrated approach imposed by increasing resistance in the aphids and government restrictions on pesticides. The book remains a comprehensive and up-to-date reference work on the biology of aphids, the various methods of controlling them and the progress of integrated pest management as illustrated by ten case histories. Helmut van Emden is Emeritus Professor of Horticulture at the University of Reading, UK. He has researched on aphids for over 50 years and has wide international experience, including in the tropics. Richard Harrington retired in 2015 as Head of the Rothamsted Insect Survey, with which he worked for 36 years on aphid monitoring and forecasting. He led the EU project "EXAMINE" (Exploitation of Aphid Monitoring In Europe) which brought together colleagues involved in aphid monitoring throughout Europe and beyond. ; A comprehensive reference on the biology and management of aphids occurring in crops, this new edition reflects the expansion of genomic research, semiochemicals and endosymbionts, and the shift away from purely chemical control towards more integrated methods. ; -: Preface to the First Edition -: Preface to the Second Edition 1: Taxonomic Issues 2: Aphid Genomics and its Contribution to Understanding Aphids as Crop Pests 3: Conventional Molecular Markers and Genomics Tools 4: Life Cycles and Polyphenism 5: Growth and Development 6: Nutrition and Symbiosis 7: Aphids and Stress 8: Chemical Ecology 9: Host-Plant Selection and Feeding 10: Aphid Movement: Process and Consequences 11: Predators, Parasitoids and Pathogens 12: Population Dynamics: Cycles and Patterns 13: Aphid Population Dynamics: From Fields to Landscapes 14: Feeding Injury 15: Transmission of Plant Viruses 16: Monitoring and Forecasting 17: Decision Support Systems 18: Chemical Control 19: Insecticide Resistance 20: Biological Control 21: Cultural Control 22: Host-Plant Resistance 23: Integrated Pest Management and Introduction to IPM Case Studies 24: IPM Case Studies: Grain 25: IPM Case Studies: Sorghum 26: IPM Case Studies: Leafy Salad Crops 27: IPM Case Studies: Brassicas 28: IPM Case Studies: Cucurbits 29: IPM Case Studies: Seed Potato 30: IPM Case Studies: Cotton 31: IPM Case Studies: Berry Crops 32: IPM Case Studies: Deciduous Fruit Tree Aphids 33: IPM Case Studies: Tropical and Subtropical Fruit Trees

Animal husbandryMarch 1997Crop Residues in Sustainable Mixed Crops/Livestock Farming Systems
by Edited by C Renard
In many tropical areas the main constraint to increased output of livestock products is the inability of producers to feed animals adequately throughout the year. Yet opportunities exist to enhance ruminant livestock feed supplies by using crop residues, such as cereal straw and legume haulms. Greater emphasis is therefore now being placed on vegetative production in plant breeding research. Crop residues also play an important role in conserving soil moisture, preventing erosion and providing products such as fuel or thatch for smallholders. This book provides a multi-disciplinary perspective on crop residues, bringing together crop, animal and social scientists from six continents. It has been developed from papers presented at a workshop held in April 1996 at ICRISAT Asia Center, as part of the Systemwide Livestock Program of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) convened by the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), based in Africa. It will appeal to a wide readership in disciplines as diverse as agronomy, soil science, plant breeding, animal nutrition and socio-economics.
