Animal breedingJune 1997Genetics of Sheep
by Edited by Laurie Piper, Anatoly Ruvinsky
During the last two decades major advances have been made in mammalian genetics. New methods in molecular and cytogenetics, and in biotechnology have been developed. Many of these have been applied to investigating the genetics of sheep and to improving the production of wool, meat and milk. This book is a comprehensive reference work on sheep genetics. All relevant topics have been included, from fundamental genetic structure to the genetics of various production and other traits, to transgenic sheep and genetic conservation. Chapters have been specially commissioned for the volume and written by internationally recognized experts from Europe, USA, Australia and New Zealand. The book will be invaluable to advanced students and research workers in animal genetics, breeding and biotechnology.

Veterinary medicine: large animals (domestic / farm)November 2014Genetics of Cattle
by Edited by Dorian J Garrick, Anatoly Ruvinsky
Since the time of domestication more than 10,000 years ago, cattle have played an increasingly crucial role in the development of human civilizations. Progress has been quite remarkable since the turn of the century; the sequencing of the bovine genome in 2009 launched new avenues for furthering our understanding of theoretical and practical aspects of cattle genetics. Covering a vast array of questions, this book reviews major topics from molecular and developmental genetics, disease resistance and immunogenetics to genetic improvement of dairy and beef breeds, addressing all current problems in the field. This second edition includes a new team of authors and completely new chapters on the genetics of fat production, nutrition, feed intake and efficiency, growth and body composition. Fully updated throughout, it provides a valuable resource on cattle genetics for researchers, breeders, veterinarians and postgraduate students.

Animal breedingDecember 2004Mammalian Genomics
by Edited by Anatoly Ruvinsky, Jennifer A Marshall Graves
Genomics has experienced a dramatic development during the last 15-20 years. Data from mammalian genomes such as the human, mouse and rat have already been published, while others such as the dog, cattle and chimpanzee will soon follow. This book summarizes the current knowledge of mammalian genomics and offers a comparative analysis of genomes known today. This analysis includes farm, companion and lab animals. Topics covered include structural and functional aspects of the mammalian genome, mechanisms of genomic changes at the molecular level, evolution of DNA sequences, comparative chromosome mapping and painting, genome databases, gene prediction and the use of genomic information to understand inherited diseases. Contributors include leading researchers from Europe, USA, Australia and Japan.

November 2020Salzburger Bachmann Edition
Das dreißigste Jahr
by Ingeborg Bachmann, Rita Svandrlik, Silvia Bengesser, Hans Höller
1956, in ihrem dreißigsten Lebensjahr, hat Ingeborg Bachmann mit ersten Entwürfen zu dem Buch, welches nun in der Salzburger Bachmann Edition erscheint, begonnen. Fünf Jahre dauerte es, bis im Frühjahr 1961 alle sieben Erzählungen publikationsfertig im Piper Verlag eingelangt waren und der Band im Juni erscheinen konnte. Die Lyrikerin, Hörspielautorin und Essayistin sprach bei der Entstehungsphase von einem »Umzug im Kopf«, der auch in ihr Leben eingriff. Für die Ankündigung wünschte sie sich, um jeder Rollenfestlegung zu entgehen, den expliziten Hinweis, dass es sich weder um »lyrische Prosa« noch um eine »Sammlung« von Erzählungen handle, ihr sei der innere Zusammenhang wichtig, »das Utopiezeichen«, das alle Erzählungen verbinde. Denn es geht auch hier um die »Geschichte im Ich«. Sie klingt bereits in den biographisch signifikanten Titeln Jugend in einer österreichischen Stadt oder Das dreißigste Jahr an, aber am unmittelbarsten ist sie in der Erzählung gegenwärtig, deren Titelfigur am weitesten von unserer Welt entfernt scheint: in Undine geht, dieser einzigartigen Evokation der Kunst und des Dramas von Kunst und Leben, die den Abschluss des Bandes bildet. Die erzählerische Kraft Ingeborg Bachmanns artikuliert sich in der eminent erkenntnisbetonten, szenisch-analytischen Dimension, dem Sinn für sprachliche Mikroszenen, in denen sie die verschiedenen Formen von Machtausübung und Gewalt in den Blick rückte.

April 2018New Mexican Chiles
by Dave DeWitt
As the foods and recipes of Mexico have blended over the years into New Mexico's own distinctive cuisine, the chile pepper has become its defining element and single most important ingredient. Though many types were initially cultivated there, the long green variety that turned red in the fall adapted so well to the local soil and climate that it has now become the official state vegetable.To help chefs and diners get the most from this unique chile's great taste–without an overpowering pungency–Dave DeWitt, the noted Pope of Peppers, has compiled a complete guide to growing, harvesting, preserving and much more–topped off with dozens of delicious recipes for dishes, courses, and meals of every kind.
