Technology, Engineering & AgricultureAugust 2020The Quest to Conserve Rare Breeds
Setting the Record Straight
by Lawrence Alderson
Since the middle of the twentieth century the world has witnessed a succession of political and social disruptions. Globalisation, technological advancement, climate change, human migration, war and conflict - all have caused major worldwide upheavals. In this light, it's unsurprising that conservation of rare breed animals has been neglected. Yet the preservation of these genetic resources - this biological diversity - is an essential ingredient of sustainable life on Earth, and not something we can afford to lose. This book, straight from the 'horse's mouth' Lawrence Alderson CBE, challenges often repeated 'facts' about livestock farming and argues for a reasoned and evidence-based approach from political and public circles. Correcting misconceptions as he goes, he recounts the creation and development of the rare breed conservation movement, addresses extinctions and genetic safe-guarding measures, and considers where we go from here. Challenged as we are by climate change, sustainability and feeding the world, perhaps it is these endangered animals that hold the answer - perhaps with them, we can adapt to our changing environment and see a way forward to a more certain future.

November 1994Liebesgeschichten
by D. H. Lawrence, Heide Steiner
Optimismus, der dem Pessimismus Schopenhauers radikal entgegengesetzt ist, der Wille zum Leben, der sich im Geschlecht ausdrückt, ist Freude, und in ihm müssen Denken und Handeln ihren Ausgangspunkt haben, wenn sie nicht leerer Begriff, unfruchtbarer Mechanismus bleiben sollen . . .« Mit diesem, wie Simone de Beauvoir sagt, »Willen zum Leben« hat D. H. Lawrence auch jene Liebeserzählungen geschrieben, die den Romanen, seinem Hauptwerk, vorangegangen sind.

May 2007In der Provence
by Lawrence Durrell, Anne Steeb-Müller
Dreißig Jahre lebte Lawrence Durrell in der Provence, und die Provence ist auch das Thema seines letzten, kurz vor seinem Tod 1990 erschienenen Buches. Es ist eine Liebeserklärung an seine Wahlheimat, ein sehr persönliches, ungewöhnliches Buch, eine Mischung aus Reiseimpressionen, autobiographischen Texten und Geschichten. Plaudernd schreibt Durrell über die Geschichte und die Entwicklung der Provence, erläutert den kulturhistorischen Zusammenhalt zwischen Römern und Franzosen, erzählt vom Mythos, den dieser Landstrich für den Rest des Landes darstellt, beschreibt die Architektur des Südens, aber auch die Lebenslust, das Lebensgefühl der Provenzalen weiß er unvergleichlich zu schildern.

Literature & Literary StudiesJanuary 2013The lives of Thomas Becket
by Michael Staunton
This collection tells the story of Thomas Becket's turbulent life, violent death and extraordinary posthumous acclaim in the words of his contemporaries. The only modern collection from the twelfth-century Lives of Thomas Becket in English and features all his major biographers, including many previously untranslated extracts. Providing both a valuable glimpse of the late twelfth-century world, and an insight into the minds of those who witnessed the events. By using contemporary sources, this book is the most accessible way to study this central episode in medieval history. Thomas Becket features prominently in most medieval core courses. This book allows the subject to be taught as never before, and is highly suitable as a set text.

Literature & Literary StudiesJuly 2024Thomas Nashe and literary performance
by Chloe Kathleen Preedy, Rachel Willie
As an instigator of debate and a defender of tradition, a man of letters and a popular hack, a writer of erotica and a spokesman for bishops, an urbane metropolitan and a celebrant of local custom, the various textual performances of Thomas Nashe have elicited, and continue to provoke, a range of contradictory reactions. Nashe's often incongruous authorial characteristics suggest that, as a 'King of Pages', he not only courted controversy but also deliberately cultivated a variety of public personae, acquiring a reputation more slippery than the herrings he celebrated in print. Collectively, the essays in this book illustrate how Nashe excelled at textual performance but his personae became a contested site as readers actively participated and engaged in the reception of Nashe's public image and his works.

The ArtsAugust 2014David Lean
by Melanie Williams, Brian McFarlane, Neil Sinyard
'A rule of mine is this', said William Goldman in 1983, 'there are always three hot directors and one of them is always David Lean.' One of the best known and most admired of British film makers, David Lean had a directorial career that spanned five decades and encompassed everything from the intimate black-and-white romance of Brief Encounter (1945) to the spectacular Technicolor epic of Lawrence of Arabia (1962). This book offers comprehensive coverage of every feature film directed by Lean, yielding new insights on the established classics of his career as well as its lesser-known treasures. Its analysis prioritises questions of gender and emphasises the often-overlooked but highly significant recurrence of female-centred narratives throughout Lean's career. Drawing extensively on archival historical materials while also presenting nuanced close readings of individual films, David Lean offers a fascinating and original account of the work of a remarkable British film maker. ;
