        Phosphorus Loss from Soil to Water

        Phosphorus Loss from Soil to Water

        by Edited by H Tunney, P C Brookes, A E Johnston

        Phosphorus is an essential element for plant growth and its input has long been recognised as necessary to maintain profitable crop production. However, phosphorus inputs can also increase the biological activity of surface waters and this can lead to the destruction of such aquatic ecosystems. Advanced eutrophication of surface water leads to problems with its use for fisheries, recreation, industry and drinking, due to the increased growth of undesirable algae and aquatic weeds, and oxygen shortages caused by their death and decomposition. It is therefore important to have a good understanding of the causes and mode of phosphorus loss from soil to water, to enable the problems to be controlled and managed. This book has been developed from an international workshop held in Ireland in late 1995. It is the first comprehensive consideration of the topic, and many leading researchers in the area have contributed to it. It is essential reading for all soil scientists and freshwater biologists, as well as for environmentalists, ecologists and agriculturalists concerned with sustainable land management and pollution. The book is also recommended to fisheries managers, fertilizer manufacturers and biologists working for water utilities.

        Agriculture and World Trade Liberalisation

        Socio-environmental Perspectives on the Common Agricultural Policy

        by Edited by Michael Redclift, Joseph Lekakis, George P Zanias

        The impact of free trade on the environment and the employment of environmental policies as non-tariff protectionist policies are topics which are currently receiving a great deal of attention. Proponents of freer trade insist that, by leading to higher growth rates and per capita incomes, trade increases the demand for environmental quality and helps poor countries escape the poverty-generated pollution trap. The purpose of this book is to discuss the current and future issues surrounding agriculture and its relationship to trade, sustainability and the environment. It is based on selected papers from an international conference entitled ‘European Agriculture at the Crossroads: Competition and Sustainability’ held in Crete in 1996 and further updated with the European Commission’s Agenda 2000 in mind. Written by leading authorities from Europe and the USA, this book is essential reading for researchers and policy makers in agricultural economics, rural sociology, the environment and European studies.

        The European or Mediterranean cultivated olive (Olea europaea L., subsp. europaea, var. europaea) is one of the most ancient cultivated fruit tree crops. Today, hundreds of olive varieties are grown to produce high-quality fruit for oil and for table olives consumption. The olive industry has undergone profound innovations in the past 30 years, due to scientific and technical advances, particularly in genomics, breeding, orchard management, mechanization and agro-ecology, although not all these developments are yet available to smaller producers. Olive cultivation has also spread to many countries outside the Mediterranean Basin, where it ihas been traditionally present for over 6,000 years. These new olive-growing countries are experiencing further expansion of the industry, due to increased awareness of the nutritional and health properties of extra virgin olive oil. This book is a much-needed update on olive biology and cultivation, with contributions from leading international experts, and includes: Biology Genetics and breeding Olive propagation and nursery Planting new olive orchards Horticultural management of olive orchards Plant protection Olive by-products (wood, leaves) Multifunctionality of olive groves and ecosystem services The Olive: Botany and Production is invaluable for researchers and students in horticulture and agriculture, as well as producers involved in olive orchard management.

        Images of Oliver Cromwell

        Essays for and by Roger Howell, Jr

        by Essays for and by Roger Howell, Jr.

        Oliver Cromwell has been both applauded and reviled and his memory invoked in periods and in countries other than his own. This complex historiography has left us today with many different versions of Cromwell as man, general and statesman of which the conflicting images are the subject of this book. Available in paperback for the first time, this classic study is based on the unfinished magnum opus of the leading scholar of seventeenth-century history, Roger Howell (1936?89). It includes chapters by a team of leading international experts on a broad range of subjects originally planned by Howell himself. It includes Howell's studies of the reactions to Cromwell in the Restoration period and in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Added to these are reprints of his essays on psychohistorical approaches to Cromwell and on Cromwell's contribution to English liberty. Further historiographical portraits of the Protector are offered in chapters which consider Cromwell and the Glorious Revolution; Carlyle's Cromwell; Irish images of the Protector; American interpretations; and the comparisons made between Cromwell and the twentieth-century dictators. ;

        Olive Oil and Health

        by Edited by Jose L Quiles, Carmen Ramirez-Tortosa, Parveen Yaqoob

        Nutritional aspects of dietary fats, in general, and of olive oil in particular, are of great interest in many nutrition-related pathologies in which they are implicated. Olive oil plays an important role in the reduction of blood cholesterol levels, hence reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke. It is a good source of antioxidants in the form of polyphenols and vitamin E and there is also emerging evidence that olive oil has a role in reducing the incidence of certain types of cancer. This book discusses and summarizes current research and knowledge on olive oil.

        Mein andalusisches Schwarzwalddorf

        Essays

        by José F. A. Oliver

        »Denn gleich dahinter, hinter dem Waldbergigen, hinter der Dämmerlinie der schweren, schwarzgrünen Tannen, lag Andalusien.Auch für mich.« Im Jahr 1960 kamen José F. A. Olivers Eltern auf der Suche nach Arbeit aus Málaga nach Deutschland und zogen in eine kleine Stadt im Schwarzwald. Dort wuchs er auf, als Andalusier und Alemanne zugleich. Erinnerungen an den Vater, die Strohhutfabrik, die Hausacher Spättlemadlee, die Fasent der Kindertage verdichten sich in seinen Essays und Texten zu Bildern eines Ortes, den es nicht geben kann und dennoch gibt, eines andalusischen Schwarzwaldes. Als Dichter zwischen den Kulturen, zwischen den Sprachen gibt Oliver Auskunft über die Erfahrungen eines »Gastarbeiterkindes«, dessen poetische Sensibilität der Zweisprachigkeit entspringt: »ich, Wortmensch Erde, will Sprachen wie Gastgeber Freunde.« José F.A. Oliver, geboren 1961 in Hausach im Schwarzwald. Seine Gedichte sind in mehrere Sprachen übersetzt.

        by José F. A. Oliver

        »& weiß nicht mehr in welcher stadt / ich war ich bin ich werde sei / so wie es jetzt am anfang war / gebet & uhrzeit sind verlegt / / 1 datum hinter glas. So könnte es gewesen.« Der Schreibnomade José Oliver ist auf steter Wörterreise. Ägypten, Dubai, Spanien, Slowakei, Schweiz, Niederlande, Litauen und immer wieder zurück zum Ausgangspunkt, in die fremde Heimat Schwarzwald, in den Zwischenraum zweier Sprachen, zum Glauben, in die Kindheitserinnerungen. Und das lyrische Ich notiert als unbestechlicher Fahrtenschreiber die Wahrnehmungsgeschwindigkeit in ihren Schwankungen, die Unhaltbarkeit der Bilder, grenzzerfließende Begegnungen, das Verhältnis von Zeit und Weg; Wiege, Baum und Kreuz – das Alphabet der Hölzer. »Der nomadische Heimatdichter José Oliver weiß genau, wie erfaßbar uns die ganze Welt und wie unverständlich uns das benachbarte Tal erscheinen kann. Dies ist das Privileg großer Dichter.« Ilija Trojanow

        Gedichte

        by José F. A. Oliver

        José F. A. Oliver legt mit diesem Gedichtband sein viertes Buch im Suhrkamp Verlag vor. Sprache aus dem Bekannten herauszuhebeln, zu entzingeln, um ihr in neuen Klangelementen eine Aussagekraft zu verleihen, die über das allzu Verständliche hinausreicht, ist seine Art, auf die Rätselhaftigkeit der Welterfahrung aufmerksam zu machen. Den Blick zu ändern. Die Gedanken zu öffnen. Grenzen zu überschreiten. Sein »seelenfernglas « auf das bislang Ungesagte, Unsagbare gerichtet, die Liebe und den Tod vor Augen, ist er »schreibspur ganz / & der sich an die rücken heftet«. Mehrstimmig durchsiebt er die Sprache, »den worttrieb im zettelkasten «, erfindet und fügt neu zusammen. Olivers Gedichte entstehen sowohl aus zeitund ortsenthobenen Erlebnissen als auch aus Beobachtungen auf intensiven Reisen, so z.B. »1 vision in Kairo«. Er schreibt »die welt / die keine klärung war / die keiner klärung mehr bedurfte« und sucht »das unbestimmte des bestimmten«. Seine Gedichte gewähren den Sinnen unterschlupf, mindestens »1 Pessoa lang«.

        by H. P. Lovecraft, Rudolf Hermstein, H. C. Artmann

        Mit seinem Cthulu-Mythos wollte H. P. Lovecraft eine Atmosphäre kosmischen Grauens schaffen, die Archaisches mit den modernen Erkenntnissen der Wissenschaft verbindet und unserer Zeit angemessen ist. Die Angst hielt er für das älteste und stärkste Gefühl, mit dem er in seinen Erzählungen gerne spielte. Die besten Erzählungen von H. P. Lovecraft sind in diesem Rand zusammengefaßt.

        Und täglich grüßt die Liebesgier. Ein Episodenroman | Search, Swipe, Date, Repeat: Oliver Polak sucht die große Liebe

        by Oliver Polak

Ein tiefer Seelenstriptease des inneren Ichs, denn am Ende begegnet der Protagonist nur einer Person: sich selbst. Trifft er die Frauen, um sie zu lieben, oder trifft er sie nur, um sich selbst nicht zu lieben? Ein Buch über Sehnsucht, Verlangen und Zärtlichkeit in einer ungewissen Welt. Leonard Cohen, Batman, Oliver Polak: die großen Liebhaber mit durstigen Herzen.

        The My Lai massacre in American history and memory

        The My Lai massacre in American history and memory

        by Kendrick Oliver

        On 16 March 1968, two US infantry companies entered a Vietnamese village and in the course of a single morning killed over 400 of its unarmed, unresisting inhabitants . . . This is the first book to examine the response of American society to the My Lai massacre and its ambiguous place in American national memory. Kendrick Oliver argues that the massacre revelations left many Americans untroubled. It was only when the soldiers most immediately responsible came to be tried that opposition to the conflict grew, for these prosecutions were regarded by supporters of the war as evidence that the national leaders no longer had the will to do what was necessary to win. Oliver goes on to show that, contrary to interpretations of the Vietnam conflict as an unhealed national trauma or wound, many Americans have assimilated the war and its violence rather too well, and they were able to do so even when that violence was most conspicuous and current. US soldiers have been presented as the conflict's principal victims, and this was true even in the case of My Lai. It was the American perpetrators of the massacre and not the Vietnamese they brutalized who became the central object of popular concern. Both the massacre and its reception reveal the problem of human empathy in conditions of a counter-revolutionary war - a war, moreover, that had always been fought for geopolitical credibility, not for the sake of the Vietnamese. This incisive enquiry into the moral history of the Vietnam war should be essential reading for all students of the conflict, as well as others interested in the war and its cultural legacies. ;

        Environment and Livelihoods in Tropical Coastal Zones

        Managing Agriculture- Fishery-Aquaculture Conflicts

        by Edited by Chu T Hoanh, To P Tuong, John W Gowing, Bill Hardy

        This book focuses on the challenges people face in managing agricultural crops, aquaculture, fisheries and related ecosystems in areas of coastal zones in the tropics of Asia, Africa, Australia and South America. Challenges arise from conflicts in the use of natural resources among different stakeholders. Through many case studies, the book discusses the nature of these conflicts and identifies what is known and not known about how to manage them. Case studies include: * trade-offs between enhancing agricultural production and maintenance of rural livelihoods and aquatic biodiversity.* lessons learnt from the conversion of mangrove forests to shrimp farms.

        Der demokratische Horizont

        Politik und Ethik radikaler Demokratie

        by Oliver Marchart

        Das Unbehagen an der Demokratie wächst. Soziale Bewegungen und Protestparteien verschaffen ihm Ausdruck. Oliver Marchart behauptet, dass die Antwort auf Demokratiedefizit und »Postdemokratie« in der Demokratie selbst liegt. Da der demokratische Horizont unüberschreitbar ist, gilt es, die Demokratie selbst zu demokratisieren: durch Radikalisierung und Neuerfindung der klassischen Prinzipien von Freiheit, Gleichheit, Solidarität und Volkssouveränität. Im Lichte prominenter Theorien radikaler Demokratie (u. a. von Claude Lefort, Chantal Mouffe und Antonio Negri) erkundet Marchart die Möglichkeiten einer solchen Demokratisierung von Demokratie im unvermeidlichen Spannungsfeld zwischen Politik und Ethik.
