Who are we? This is the question that the Ukraїner team has been working on every day for over five years. We tell stories from different parts of Ukraine, and in this way we seek the answer. This book has grown out of a great desire to explore and tell about the people in Ukraine. First of all, it is about the indigenous peoples here, because since July 2021, in addition to Ukrainians, this list has officially included the Crimean Tatars, Krymchaks and Karaites. And also it is about a whole range of national minorities whose representatives appeared on our lands for one reason or another. After all, the history of each people living in the territory of Ukraine is a part of our common history, as ancient and rooted as the formation of the Crimean Tatar people in Crimea and nearby steppe of Prychornomoria, or as fresh as the newly Indian student community in Zakarpattia. With the story of the latter, in 2017 Ukraїner began a series of more than 30 multimedia stories about national minorities of Ukraine, fragments of which became the basis for this book. Most stories are accompanied by QR codes with links, which you can follow to watch the stories. We also set out to tell about the diversity of cultures and thereby answer the question: what are we? The deeper we researched the traditional holidays, cuisine, and symbols of each separate people, the more we found in common.

Vom Winter 1941/42 bis zum folgenden Juni fuhren zwei Männer in einem Lastwagen jeden Tag von Belgrad nach Jajinci: Götz, der Fahrer, und Meyer, der Beifahrer. Hätten sie nicht unterwegs angehalten und das Ende des Auspuffs mit einer öffnung im Boden des Kastens verschraubt und wäre der Kasten nicht voller Juden gewesen, niemand hätte sich später dafür interessiert. Der Erzähler aber, ein Belgrader Lehrer, interessiert sich dafür, weil auf dem Lastwagen auch seine Verwandten waren. Er beginnt zu recherchieren, wühlt in Dokumenten, versucht zu begreifen. Je näher er dem Wissen kommt, desto ferner ist er; je mehr er sich Götz und Meyer vorzustellen sucht, desto schemenhafter werden ihre Gesichter.

Emily Witts Prognose für die weibliche Sexualität lautet: selbstbewusst, frei und unerschrocken. Mit einem wachen Blick, großer Begeisterungsfähigkeit und einer außergewöhnlichen Beobachtungsgabe erforscht die New Yorker Journalistin die neuen Formen weiblicher Sexualität, von Tinder über Feminist Porn bis hin zur Orgasmic Meditation. Emily Witt ist Mitte dreißig, Single und lebt in Brooklyn. Die ideale Voraussetzung für ein bewegtes Liebes- und Sexleben. Könnte man meinen. Doch eigentlich hat auch Witt trotz all der schillernden Angebote ein ganz bestimmtes Ziel im Visier: Ehemann, Kinder und ein Eigenheim. Um die Möglichkeitswelt jenseits der tradierten Ideale zu erkunden, entschließt sich die Journalistin zu einer Reise nach San Francisco, der Hochburg der freien Liebe und der digitalen wie libidinösen Zukunft. Sie durchstreift die Sphären des Internetdatings, feiert auf einer Hochzeit von Polyamoristen, spricht mit der Königin eines feministischen Kinky-Porn-Unternehmens, sie sondiert und überschreitet ihre eigenen Grenzen bei dem legendären Exzessfestival »Burning Man« und begibt sich ins Zentrum der »Orgasmic Meditation«. Am Ende ihrer Reise steht eine überraschende Erkenntnis.

As the popularity of the national parks grows, so do the challenges of visiting and managing them. This innovative book uses crowdsourcing - postings by park visitors on a range of social media sites - to start 100 conversations on issues associated with visiting and managing the national parks. The authors then use their experience and expertise to prepare short, plainspoken, and engaging essays that respond to the postings and complete the conversations. The book is written for park visitors, managers, and students. The authors are university professors who teach the history, philosophy, and management of national parks, conduct long-term programs of research for the National Park Service, and have spent years working and living in the national parks. This inventive, thoughtful, and inviting book addresses a wide range of national park-related issues, guides readers on how to more effectively plan and conduct their national park visits, informs park planners and managers about what visitors think about the parks, introduces the latest scientific and professional information on park management, helps prepare students for careers in park management, and enhances public appreciation and protection of the national parks. Preservation of our national parks has always required an active engagement with the public. The authors take this to a new level by responding directly to the many questions and comments posed by visitors on social media with thoughtful and informative responses. Jonathan B. Jarvis, eighteenth Director of the National Park Service

Farming Systems Research (FSR) may be defined as a diagnostic process, providing a collection of methods for researchers to understand farm households and their decision-making. Its applications use this understanding to increase efficiency in the use of human and budgetary resources for agricultural development, including research, extension and policy formulation.This book provides a detailed history of FSR. While it includes the application of FSR to developed country agriculture, its main focus is on FSR in its original role, with small-scale, resource-poor farmers in less developed countries. There are some 40 contributions from nearly 50 contributors from 20 countries, illustrating both the diversity and coherence of FSR. The book was initiated by the then International Association for Farming Systems Research and Extension (now International Farming Systems Association) and developed with support from FAO. It provides a wealth of information and insights for all concerned with agricultural development.

Organic cattle farming is on the increase, with consumer demand for organic milk and meat growing yearly. Beginning with an overview of the aims and principles behind organic cattle production, this book presents extensive information about how to feed cattle so that the milk and meat produced meet organic standards, and provides a comprehensive summary of ruminant digestive processes and nutrition. Since the publication of the first edition, global consumers have increasingly become concerned with the sustainability of meat production. Here, Robert Blair considers the interrelationships of sustainable practices and profitability of organic herds, reviewing how to improve forage production and quality, and minimizing the need for supplementary feeding using off-farm ingredients. This new edition also covers: - Managing a recurrent shortage of organic feed ingredients, due to increased GM feed crop cultivation worldwide - Current findings on appropriate breeds and grazing systems for forage-based organic production - Diet-related health issues in organic herds and the effects of organic production on meat and milk quality. Required reading for animal science researchers, advisory personnel that service the organic milk and beef industries and students interested in organic milk and meat production, this book is also a useful resource for organic farming associations, veterinarians, and feed and food industry personnel.

Tosende Palmen, ein Rascheln im Sellerie, ein Tiger verschwindet, in der Ferne detoniert eine Atombombe, und das Bewusstsein beginnt, rückwärts zu laufen. Es gehört einer Fernsehmoderatorin, die aufgrund wiederholten Fehlverhaltens auf eine einsame Insel verbannt wurde, ausgestattet nach eigener Wahl mit Messer, Schleifstein und Meyers Konversations-Lexikon. Doch sie ist nicht allein. Hier sind schon fünfundzwanzig Matrosen, die in den Jahren seit ihrem Schiffbruch eine beachtliche kleine Parallelgesellschaft aufgebaut haben, sie heißt Hegelland. Ursprünglich Quäker, hängen sie jetzt der selbsterfundenen Schraubenreligion an und unterhalten in arbeitsamer Kulturleistung drei Pressen von kontinuierlich steigender Druckqualität. Was wird nun angesichts der ersten Frau passieren, und was, wenn mehr kommen? In 399 Neo-Spenser-Strophen schildert Ann Cotten die Turbulenzen, die nach einer weiblichen Flüchtlingswelle aus dem Internet in Hegelland entstehen. Die verschuldeten Prothesenträgerinnen werden unwillentlich zum Katalysator einer schon lange schwelenden Konterrevolution. Mithilfe von Reimen, Anspielungen, synästhetischen Zwängen und großer Anschaulichkeit wird dieser luzide Alptraum auch in Ihr Bewusstsein gehämmert.
