        Das Weihnachtsgeschenk

        by Palmer Brown, Claudia Feldmann

        Es ist die Frage, die uns alle jedes Jahr aufs Neue umtreibt: Was ist das perfekte Geschenk? Die kleine Maus in Palmer Browns Geschichte ist auf der Suche nach etwas Besonderem für ihre Mutter. Doch was könnte sie, die nur so wenig zur Verfügung hat, verschenken, um ihrer großen Liebe Ausdruck zu verleihen? Ihr fehlt der Samt für ein Nadelkissen, die Rosinen für den Früchtekuchen. Doch schließlich bemerkt sie, dass man für das perfekte Geschenk gar nicht so viel braucht. Mit seiner bezaubernden Geschichte von 1958, die kürzlich in der renommierten New York Review Children’s Collection wieder veröffentlicht wurde, schenkt Palmer Brown uns etwas ganz Besonderes – für Weihnachten oder jeden Tag.

        Out of his mind

        Masculinity and mental illness in Victorian Britain

        by Amy Milne-Smith

        Out of His Mind interrogates how Victorians made sense of the madman as both a social reality and a cultural representation. Even at the height of enthusiasm for the curative powers of nineteenth-century psychiatry, to be certified as a lunatic meant a loss of one's freedom and in many ways one's identify. Because men had the most power and authority in Victorian Britain, this also meant they had the most to lose. The madman was often a marginal figure, confined in private homes, hospitals, and asylums. Yet as a cultural phenomenon he loomed large, tapping into broader social anxieties about respectability, masculine self-control, and fears of degeneration. Using a wealth of case notes, press accounts, literature, medical and government reports, this text provides a rich window into public understandings and personal experiences of men's insanity.

        Heterobasidion annosum

        Biology, Ecology, Impact and Control

        by Edited by Steven Woodward, J Stenlid, R Karjalainen, A Hüttermann

        The fungus Heterobasidion annosum is, in economic terms, the most important causal agent of disease and of yield loss in coniferous trees in northern temperate regions. This is the first book which brings together and summarises the considerable amount of knowledge which has been gathered about all aspects of this disease. It has been prepared and published with support from the European Union, under the Agriculture and Agro- Industrial Research (AAIR) programme. Drawing on over 2,000 research papers and books published from the early nineteenth century to the present day, the book covers topics which include the history, detection, biology, taxonomy and distribution of H. annosum. It provides the latest information on infection, host resistance, the biochemistry of the host-parasite interaction, molecular and genetic regulation of the host response and methods of control. It concludes with a series of case studies from Europe and North America. This book is an indispensable source of information for all those involved in the management of coniferous forests and plantations wishing to reduce the impact of this disease on yields. It should also become the accepted text for students of forestry and plant pathology studying H. annosum, and an invaluable reference manual for scientists researching this, and other fungal tree diseases.

        Das ist hier der Fall

        Ausgewählte Gedichte

        by Elke Erb

        2020 – das dichterische und essayistische Werk von Elke Erb geht in das fünfte Jahrzehnt. Was im Jahr 1975 mit dem Band Gutachten begann, setzt sich bis in die Gegenwart fort: Gedichtverdacht heißt der jüngste Band aus dem Jahr 2019. Dazwischen liegen mehr als fünfzehn Veröffentlichungen, in denen Elke Erb nicht nur neue Schreibweisen, sondern auch neue Gattungen verwirklichte, das essayistische Langgedicht, die poetische Selbstreferenz, das Prosagedicht, alle Fraktale des Kommentars. »Ich studierte und entkräftete die hierarchisch spaltenden Tendenzen des linearen Schreibens …, so dass vorher stumm-(dunkel-)gebliebene Zusammenhänge im sprachlichen Spiegel erschienen und sich aus ihnen neue Zusammenhänge (Erkenntnisse, Aspekte, Einsichten, Überblicke) fortschreitend bildeten«, beschreibt Elke Erb im Jahr 1988 ihr Verfahren. Aus diesem unverwechselbaren und eigenständigen Lebenswerk, das noch lange nicht beendet ist, haben Steffen Popp und Monika Rinck eine Auswahl zusammengestellt – angefangen mit ersten Arbeiten bis hin zu Erbs jüngsten Gedichten, die zu dem Lebendigsten und Innovativsten gehören, was die deutschsprachige Lyrik derzeit zu bieten hat.

        Animal Welfare in a Changing World

        by Edited by Andrew Butterworth

        Contemporary and challenging, this thought-provoking book outlines a number of the key dilemmas in animal welfare for today's, and tomorrow's, world. The issues discussed range from the welfare of hunted animals, to debates around intensive farming versus sustainability, and the effects of climate and environmental change. The book explores the effects of fences on wild animals and human impacts on carrion animals; the impacts of tourism on animal welfare; philosophical questions about speciesism; and the quality and quantity of animal lives. The welfare impacts of human-animal interactions are explored, including human impacts on marine mammals, fish, wildlife, and companion and farm animals. Animal Welfare in a Changing World provides: Concise, opinion-based views on important issues in animal welfare by world experts and key opinion leaders. Pieces based on experience, which balance evidence-based approaches and the welfare impacts of direct engagement through training, campaigning and education. A wide-ranging collection of examples and descriptions of animal welfare topics which outline dilemmas in the real world, that are sometimes challenging, and not always comfortable reading. This is a 'must-read' book for animal and veterinary scientists, ethologists, policy and opinion leaders, NGOs, conservation biologists and anyone who feels passionately about the welfare of animals

        Die Wahrheit der Lügen

        Essays zur Literatur. Aus dem Spanischen von Elke Wehr

        by Mario Vargas Llosa, Elke Wehr

        Mario Vargas Llosa, geboren 1936 in Arequipa/Peru, studierte Geistes- und Rechtswissenschaften in Lima und Madrid. Bereits während seines Studiums schrieb er für verschiedene Zeitschriften und Zeitungen und veröffentlichte erste Erzählungen, ehe 1963 sein erster Roman Die Stadt und die Hunde erschien. Der peruanische Romanautor und Essayist ist stets als politischer Autor aufgetreten und ist damit auch weit über die Grenzen Perus hinaus sehr erfolgreich. Zu seinen wichtigsten Werken zählen Das grüne Haus, Das Fest des Ziegenbocks, Tante Julia und der Schreibkünstler und Das böse Mädchen. Vargas Llosa ist Ehrendoktor verschiedener amerikanischer und europäischer Universitäten und hielt Gastprofessuren unter anderem in Harvard, Princeton und Oxford. 1990 bewarb er sich als Kandidat der oppositionellen Frente Democrático (FREDEMO) bei den peruanischen Präsidentschaftswahlen und unterlag in der Stichwahl. Daraufhin zog er sich aus der aktiven Politik zurück. Neben zahlreichen anderen Auszeichnungen erhielt er 1996 den Friedenspreis des Deutschen Buchhandels und 2010 den Nobelpreis für Literatur. Heute lebt Mario Vargas Llosa in Madrid und Lima. Elke Wehr, geboren 1946 in Bautzen und verstorben 2008 in Berlin, studierte Romanistik in Paris und Heidelberg.

        Amenity Migrants

        Seeking and Sustaining Mountains and Their Cultures

        by Edited by Laurence A G Moss

        Places with perceived high environmental quality and distinctive culture are globally attracting amenity migrants. Today this societal driving force is particularly manifest in mountain areas, and while beneficial for both the new comers and locals, is also threatening highland ecologies and their human communities. This book describes and analyses the challenges and opportunities of amenity migration and its management, and offers related recommendations.The book's chapters cover the subject through case studies at international, regional and local levels, along with overarching themes such as environmental sustainability and equity, mountain recreation users, housing, and spiritual motivation. A crucial issue addressed is the relationship of amenity migration to tourism, and migration motivated by economic gain. The introduction and concluding chapters bring all of the information and analyses together strategically, summarising in a manner of theoretical and practical value for both academics and practitioners.

        Neonatal Pig

        Development and Survival

        by Edited by Mike A Varley

        The pig industry is among the most technologically advanced of all the animal industries. Despite this, mortality is about 12% of all piglets born alive. This figure has not altered substantially in recent years, and is considerably higher than for other farm animals. The biology of neonatal mortality in pigs has generally been poorly understood. There is therefore a great need for information on this subject and this book is the first to provide a comprehensive review. The book is divided into three main parts, covering: genetics and physiology of the neonatal pig; the gut and nutrition; and diseases, behaviour and husbandry. Although single factors are often ascribed as the cause of death, it is often the case that there are multifactorial components involved. Written by leading authors from Europe, North America and Australia, the book is invaluable for advanced students, research workers, practitioners and advisers in animal science, veterinary medicine and the pig industry.

        Intensive Sugarcane Production

        Meeting the challenges beyond 2000

        by Edited by Brian A Keating, John R Wilson

        Increasing competition in the world sugar industry, combined with the need to maintain the resource base and minimise negative impacts on the environment, mean that sugar industries around the world face many complex problems. These challenges are shared by many other intensive cropping industries. However, advances in crop physiology, biotechnology, management systems, systems analysis and modelling and economics and policy initiatives offer great opportunities for these industries to meet these challenges. This book appraises the current situation and set the agenda for sustainable sugarcane production into the future. The book has been developed from papers presented at the Sugar 2000 symposium held in Brisbane, Australia, in August 1996. All the elements of successful intensive crop production are discussed. These include the biological, climatic, economic and social aspects which must be taken into account and judiciously managed. Topics addressed include new gene technologies and their potential value for sugarcane, along with using knowledge of crop physiology to bring about high levels of yield. Other issues considered include the economics of resource use, such as irrigation, and the impact of sugarcane production on the environment. The book is essential reading for all research scientists working with sugarcane, including plant breeders, physiologists, agronomists and food technologists. It also provides general agronomists with a model system for intensive crop production that will be relevant to other sustainable cropping systems. It is also relevant to economists, regulatory authorities, and commodity traders.
