March 2021Columbus, the Discarded Explorer
Disaster of the legendary sailor
by Wolfgang Wissler
There he stands, the man the whole of Spain cheered, before whom the most catholic regents Isabella and Ferdinand rose to their feet, his eyes on his ship Capitana, devoured by shipworm, stranded off Jamaica. Some of the crew mutiny, the locals can no longer be fobbed off with glass beads, the Spanish on the nearby island of Hispaniola do not help, the world doesn‘t want anything to do with him, the demanding whinger. He, Christopher Columbus, is a John Lackland, a king without land, a conqueror without conquest. Between fiction and historical truth, Wolfgang Wissler recounts the legendary sailor‘s last expedition in an entirely new way – and what a story it is!

Animal husbandryNovember 2010Zoonotic Pathogens in the Food Chain
by Edited by Denis O Krause, Stephen Hendrick.
Beginning with their sources, including manure and animal feed, and detailing their development, spread and transmission to humans, Zoonotic Pathogens in the Food Chain gives an insightful introduction to and epidemiological overview of the problems raised by zoonotic pathogens. The authors specifically examine the attributes of microorganisms that allow potential contamination of food sources and the factors in modern animal production processes that contribute to the risk of infection. Chapters discuss in detail pathogens that have recently emerged as important sources of infection, investigating in depth the implications of avian flu, swine flu, bovine spongiform encephalopathies and Johne's disease for human consumers, and considering where potential mitigation strategies should be focused. With a focus on new trends in animal production, such as organic livestock farming and raw milk consumption, this text provides an interesting and up-to-date reference for researchers, academics and those with an interest in pathology working in the livestock industry.

March 2005Die Schiller-Chronik
by Karin Wais, Rose Unterberger
Die Schiller-Chronik ist ein praktisches Hilfsmittel für jeden Schiller-Leser. Wer etwa wissen will, wo sich Schiller zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt aufhielt, oder in umgekehrter Richtung fragt, wann er seiner zukünftigen Frau zum ersten Mal begegnete oder wann Die Räuber in Hamburg aufgeführt wurden – die Schiller-Chronik erteilt zuverlässig Auskunft und lädt zum Blättern und Eintauchen in seine Welt ein. übersichtlich gegliedert in parallele Rubriken zu Ort und Zeit – Leben – Werk, enthält die Chronik alle wichtigen Daten zur Lebens- und Werkgeschichte, dazu auch Angaben zum Zeitgeschehen und zu Publikationen der Zeitgenossen. Durch die synoptische Darstellung werden die Entstehungszusammenhänge von Schillers Œuvre unmittelbar deutlich, wobei nicht nur die ausgereiften, kanonischen Texte Berücksichtigung finden, sondern auch Pläne, Gelegenheitsgedichte und verschiedene Fassungen, etwa die einzelnen Bühnenbearbeitungen seiner Dramen. Ein erklärendes Personenregister sowie ein Orts- und ein Werkregister vervollständigen den Band und machen ihn zu einem unentbehrlichen Nachschlagewerk.

Tourism industryOctober 2001Volunteer Tourism: Experiences that Make a Difference
by Edited by Stephen Wearing
Volunteer tourism describes a field of tourism in which travellers visit a destination and take part in projects in the local community. Projects are commonly nature-based, people-based or involve restoration of buildings and artefacts.Contemporary volunteer tourism has tended to suffer from a lack of differentiation from other forms of tourism or volunteering, falling into areas such as alternative tourism, international volunteering, social work and conservation corps work. The aim of this book is to provide it with a more specific identity.This book provides:An overview of the phenomenon of volunteer tourism, its sources and its development as a conceptA focus on the potential positive social and environmental benefits of volunteer tourism, and the prerequisites for a successful experience

January 2009Mein Schiller
by Marcel Reich-Ranicki, Friedrich Schiller, Marcel Reich-Ranicki
M e i n Schiller? Warum eigentlich? Und seit wann? Ich liebe Schiller, ich liebe ihn seit meiner Jugend, wenn nicht seit meiner Kindheit. Ich liebe den Dichter der Freiheit. Ich schätze den engagierten Schriftsteller (übrigens gab es diesen Begriff damals noch nicht), ihn, der mit jeder seiner literarischen und philosophischen Arbeiten unbedingt etwas erreichen, etwas bewirken wollte. Ich verehre den größten der deutschen Theaterautoren, ihn, dessen Dramen mir zeigten, was die Bühne zu leisten imstande ist. Ich habe eine Schwäche für nicht wenige seiner geistreichen Gedichte, zumal für seine herrliche Ballade »Die Kraniche des Ibykus«. Sein Werk hat mir die Augen geöffnet: Schiller war der erste Dichter, der mich in meiner frühen Jugend ahnen und vielleicht sogar begreifen ließ, daß Literatur Kritik der Gesellschaft ist, ja Kritik des Lebens. So wurde er m e i n Schiller.

Bacteriology (non-medical)June 2011Stress Response in Pathogenic Bacteria
by Edited by Stephen Kidd.
The ability of pathogenic bacteria to adapt to various chemical, biochemical and physical conditions within the human host and their ability to respond to stresses generated in these environments is a central feature of infectious diseases and the outcome of bacterial infection. This book covers the key aspects of this rapidly developing field, including the generation of stresses by the host immune system, bacterial response to reactive chemicals, and adaptation to environmental conditions of anatomical niches such as the gut, mouth and urogenital tract. It also addresses the increasing importance of different metal ions in the pathogenesis and survival of specific bacteria. With chapters by active research experts in the field, the book provides a comprehensive outline of the current understanding of this field, the latest developments and where future research is likely to be directed.

April 2005Reise an die Grenze
Roman
by Edward Upward, Karin Rausch, Elfriede Jelinek, Stephen Spender
Der Autor Edward Upward, ein überlebender der Generation von Wystan Hugh Auden, Christopher Isherwood und Stephen Spender, ist im vergangenen September 101 Jahre alt geworden. In Reise an die Grenze aus dem Jahr 1938 hat er die starke Geschichte eines englischen Hauslehrers erzählt, der Mitte der 30er Jahre von seiner Herrschaft zu einem Pferderennen mitgenommen wird. Er trifft einige Menschen. Es passiert fast nichts. Aber stark ist Upwards Roman, weil sich der junge Mann an der Grenze zum Wahnsinn bewegt und weil der Erzähler es schafft, uns an dieser Gratwanderung zu beteiligen.In des Lehrers Phantasien spielen die Themen der Zeit eine Rolle, der Faschismus, die drohende Kriegsgefahr, die sozialen Auseinandersetzungen. All das wirkt überzogen. Andererseits trifft die überzogenheit beängstigend genau eine Zeitstimmung; die Welt jener Vorkriegsjahre wird charakterisiert, ja entlarvt.

MedicineApril 2018Bovine Tuberculosis
by Mark Chambers, Stephen Gordon, Francisco Olea-Popelka, Paul Barrow
This book is contemporary, topical and global in its approach, and provides an essential, comprehensive treatise on bovine tuberculosis and the bacterium that causes it, Mycobacterium bovis. Bovine tuberculosis remains a major cause of economic loss in cattle industries worldwide, exacerbated in some countries by the presence of a substantial wildlife reservoir. It is a major zoonosis, causing human infection through consumption of unpasteurised milk or by close contact with infected animals. Following a systematic approach, expert international authors cover epidemiology and the global situation; microbial virulence and pathogenesis; host responses to the pathogen; and diagnosis and control of the disease. Aimed at researchers and practising veterinarians, this book is essential for those needing comprehensive information on the pathogen and disease, and offers a summary of key information learned from human tuberculosis research. It will be useful to those studying the infection and for those responsible for controlling the disease.

BiochemistrySeptember 2012Bacteriophages in Health and Disease
by Edited by Paul Hyman, Stephen T Abedon.
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria. As such, they have many potential uses for promoting health and combating disease. This book covers the many facets of phage-bacterial-human interaction in three sections: the role and impact of phages on natural bacterial communities, the potential to develop phage-based therapeutics and other aspects in which phages can be used to combat disease, including bacterial detection, bacterial epidemiology, the tracing of fecal contamination of water and decontamination of foods.

European historyJanuary 2003Religion and superstition in Reformation Europe
by Edited by Christopher Durston and Judith Maltby
What, in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, was 'superstition'? Where might it be found, and how might it be countered? How was the term used, and how effective a weapon was it in the assault on traditional religion?. The ease with which accusations of 'superstition' slipped into the language of Reformation debate has ensured that one of the most fought over terms in the history of early modern popular culture, especially religious culture, is also one of the most difficult to define. Offers a novel approach to the issue, based upon national and regional studies, and examinations of attitudes to prophets, ghosts, saints and demonology, alongside an analysis of Catholic responses to the Reformation and the apparent presence of 'superstition' in the reformed churches. Challenges the assumptions that Catholic piety was innately superstitious, while Protestantism was rational, and suggests that the early modern concept of 'superstition' needs more careful treatment by historians. Demands that the terminology and presuppositions of historical discourse on the Reformation be altered to remove lingering sectarian polemic.

ImmunologyOctober 1996Immunology of Host-Ectoparasitic Arthropod Relationships
by Edited by Stephen K Wikel
Host immune responses to ectoparasitic arthropods are critical elements in determining the nature of animal host-arthropod relationships, including transmission of vector-borne pathogens. This is the first book to provide a comprehensive analysis for both the student and specialist of the emerging field of “immunoentomology”. Our fundamental understanding of this topic has increased dramatically in recent years. Chapters prepared by specialists from the USA, UK and Australia provide comprehensive reviews of key subjects. The book concludes with a consideration of the application of fundamental knowledge about the immunology of the host-arthropod interface to the development of anti-arthropod vaccines. It is aimed particularly at medical and veterinary entomologists and acarologists, as well as immunologists.
