July 2005Die Sterne über dem Land der Väter
Gedichte
by Ko Un, Woon-Jung Chei, Siegfried Schaarschmidt
»Erinnertes und aus Empfindungen Imaginiertes, Durchblicke rückwärts bis in seine frühen Wanderjahre, in die Zeit der ersten Auflehnung gegen die Militärregime und wie selbstverständlich darin eingebettet die Utopie oder besser Hoffnung, es werde der Tag des ›Festes‹ kommen, der Wiedervereinigung des so lange in Süd und Nord zerstückten ›Landes der Väter‹ –: Daß dieser Koreaner weltweit zu den großen Engagierten gehört, ist das eine; wichtiger erscheint mir seine Begabung, Botschaften völlig aus dem Persönlichen zu vermitteln«, schreibt Siegfried Schaarschmidt über einen der bedeutendsten Dichter Koreas. 1933 wurde er als ältester Sohn einer Bauernfamilie in der Provinz Chollabukdo im Südwesten der koreanischen Halbinsel geboren, die auch die Heimat des Politikers Kim Dae-Jung und des Lyrikers Kim Chi-Ha ist. Mit Neunzehn trat er in ein zenbuddhistisches Kloster ein und verbrachte dort zehn Jahre. In dieser Zeit begann er Gedichte zu schreiben. Sein erster Gedichtband erschien 1960. Ko Un hat seither nahezu hundert Bücher veröffentlicht mit Gedichten, Romanen, Essays und Kritiken. Er wurde in Korea mit Literaturpreisen geehrt und ist inzwischen Professor für koreanische Literatur. Wegen seines politischen Engagements wurde er während der ersten Hälfte der achtziger Jahre politisch verfolgt, verhaftet und gefoltert.

Zoology & animal sciencesMay 2021Nutrition 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.

Imperialism's new communities in East Asia, 1842–1953
by Robert Bickers, Andrew Thompson, Christian Henriot, John Mackenzie
In the new world order mapped out by Japanese and Western imperialism in East Asia after the mid-nineteenth century opium wars, communities of merchants and settlers took root in China and Korea. New identities were constructed, new modes of collaboration formed and new boundaries between the indigenous and foreign communities were literally and figuratively established. Newly available in paperback, this pioneering and comparative study of Western and Japanese imperialism examines European, American and Japanese communities in China and Korea, and challenges received notions of agency and collaboration by also looking at the roles in China of British and Japanese colonial subjects from Korea, Taiwan and India, and at Chinese Christians and White Russian refugees. This volume will be of interest to students and scholars of the history and anthropology of imperialism, colonialism's culture and East Asian history, as well as contemporary Asian affairs. ;

2023Textbook of Korean Medicine
Medicinal drugs and formulations
by Dr. Kenny Kuchta, Prof. Dr. Hans Wilhelm Rauwald, Hans Rausch and Dr. Raimund Royer
The consistent and evidence-based development of Korean medicine in many clinical application areas has significantly improved its international status in recent years. The basis for this development is one of the most important medical books in Korea, the „Donguibogam“, a clinical lexicon of applications compiled about 400 years ago; at that time the traditional work also enjoyed the highest recognition in China. In 2009 it was included in the „Memory of the World“ register of UNESCO. Even now after 400 years, it still serves as a manual for writing prescriptions for many physicians in Korea, and testifies that the understanding of nature and human disease patterns is still current and clinically applicable even in the modern industrialised world. This work provides ■ understanding for Korean medicine, ■ many selected medicinal formulations and their fields of application, ■ the description and evaluation of important traditional single remedies, ■ the corresponding drug monographs with information on analytical testing

Agricultural scienceNovember 1999Livestock, Ethics and Quality of Life
by Edited by John Hodges, In K Han
The science of animal production has recently become headline news. The cloning of sheep, the use of pig xenotransplants and bovine somatotrophin, as well as mad-cow disease, are all examples of how livestock production is related to food safety, human health, ethics and quality of life. The relationship between intensive developed-world animal production and third world development also raises ethical issues. These are just some of the topics addressed in this book, which has its origin in a special symposium held at the VIII World Congress on Animal Production held in June 1998 in Korea. Additional chapters have been specially commissioned for inclusion in the book.

Forestry & silviculture: practice & techniquesJune 2000Air Pollution and the Forests of Developing and Rapidly Industrialising Countries
by Edited by John L Innes, Abu H Haron
This book examines the importance of air pollution for the forests of rapidly industrialising countries and regions. Its geographical coverage includes South and Central America, Africa, and Asia, including Siberia, China and Korea. The problems presented by air pollution are placed within the more general context of sustainable development within these regions and the historical legacy that they are attempting to deal with. Attention is drawn to the very serious problems associated with poor air quality in cities such as Mexico City and Chongqing, China. Air pollution in these areas is amongst the worst in the world. Several chapters examine the importance of forest fires as a source of air pollution, with particular reference being made to the Southeast Asian fires in recent years. The available information about the effects of this pollution on the surrounding forests is reviewed, and recommendations are made for a better understanding of the impacts. A final chapter reviews the recent developments in air pollution control policies in the different regions covered by the book.
