        Ernest Shackleton

        Little People, Big Dreams. Deutsche Ausgabe | Kinderbuch ab 4 Jahre

        by María Isabel Sánchez Vegara, Olivia Holden, Silke Kleemann

        Ernest wuchs auf einer Farm in Irland auf. Aber es zog ihn in die weite Welt. Am liebsten las er Abenteuerromane. Schon als junger Mann nahm er an zwei Expeditionen zum Südpol teil. Ihr Ziel erreichten sie nicht, aber sein Ehrgeiz war so groß, dass er es erneut versuchte – mit einem eigenen Team. Einmal blieb ihr Schiff im Packeis stecken. In einer dramatischen Rettungsaktion gelang es ihm nach vielen Monaten, alle Männer zu retten. Die Menschen liebten ihn, denn er war nicht nur ein großer Polarforscher, sondern auch ein echter Team-Player. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Künstlerin, Pilotin oder Wissenschaftler, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen.

        by Umi Setiawati, Baihaqi Sitepu, Fazrin Nur, Brian P Forster, Sylvester Dery, Brian P Forster, Peter D. S. Caligari

        Oil palm is the world's most important oil crop and crossing is used extensively in the production of commercial seed, breeding and genetic studies. This book illustrates crossing techniques to maximise success and safeguard purity, enabling the production of high quality seeds to grow-on as planting material and in breeding superior cultivars. Presenting sound practices based on scientific innovation in plant breeding, this guide provides techniques integrated with expertise and application of sustainable aspects of agronomy and crop protection, alongside information and imaging technology. Promoting green, eco-friendly agriculture, this book covers: biology and genetics, germplasm, target traits and commercial crossing; health and safety considerations in the field and laboratory; pollen collection and storage, pollen viability testing, and pollination; isolation of the female inflorescence; and commercial tenera production. Based on experience and protocols, this is an invaluable manual for students and researchers in agriculture, plant breeders, growers and end users interested in the practicalities of oil palm crossing for breeding and commercial seed production

        The Simons of Manchester

        How one family shaped a city and a nation

        by Martin Dodge, John Ayshford, Diana Leitch, Stuart Jones, Janet Wolff

        The Simons of Manchester revives the history of one of Manchester's most influential families, the Simons. The book investigates the lives and public work of Henry and Emily Simon, and Ernest and Shena Simon. Through philanthropy and work in social reform, the two generations of the Simons greatly enriched Manchester's cultural and civic institutions, worked to improve the lives of its citizens, and helped to spearhead profound national reforms in health, housing, planning and education. While many people in Manchester are familiar with the Simon name through Shena Simon College, Simonsway, and the Simon Building at the University of Manchester, there is scant public knowledge of who the Simons were and their legacy. As such, this edited volume of collected essays aims to illuminate their fascinating lives and public service to rehabilitate the Simons and examine their local and national significance.

        Post-Mortem

        Autopsy stories: the unusual experiences of a pathologist

        by Roland Sedivy

        — True crime stories from the morgue — Famous deaths and autopsy stories resolved, such as Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton and the case of Anne Greene, who survived her execution by hanging The post-mortem examination. A glimpse inside the interior of the human being. Many find the idea fascinating; for others it is creepy or even repugnant. There are still numerous myths and horror stories surrounding the autopsy, many of them associated with primal human fears such as that of being buried alive, which have existed since Antiquity. It is precisely for this reason that it is important to carry out the post-mortem examination with the utmost conscientiousness. Pathologist Roland Sedivy provides an exciting insight into his profession. Profound and with tremendous humour, he tells us about the early days of the autopsy, and shares with us some macabre and some mysterious cases.

        Tis Pity She's a Whore

        By John Ford

        by Martin White

        John Ford's tragedy, first printed in 1633, is the first major English play to take as its theme a subject still rarely handled: fulfilled incest between brother and sister. This Revels Plays edition is a scholarly, modern-spelling edition of one of the most studied and performed of all plays of the period. White's critical introduction explores the textual and theatrical histories of the play, exploring closely its relationship to the particular stage and audience for which it was written. This Revels edition allows the modern reader to become, in Ford's words, an 'actor that but reads'.

        Bloch. Eine Bildmonographie

        by Ernst Bloch Zentrum Ludwigshafen, Karl-Heinz Weigand

        Ernst Bloch ist mehr als einer der großen Philosophen der Gegenwart: Er ist eine Jahrhundertgestalt. Sein Leben und Werk spiegeln die enormen historischen wie politischen Verwerfungen des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts und bündeln auch viele seiner zentralen intellektuellen Fragen. Heute, dreißig Jahre nach Blochs Tod, gilt es, die Details seines wechselvollen Lebens und die vielfältigen Aspekte seines Werkes neu in den Blick zu nehmen und mit ihnen ein Jahrhundert zwischen Utopie und Exil, Messianismus und Politik. Die Bildmonographie zeichnet das Zusammenspiel von Leben und Werk nach. Für diesen opulent ausgestatteten Band wird zum ersten Mal eine Vielzahl von bisher unbekannten Materialien aus dem Bloch-Archiv und Bloch-Nachlaß erschlossen.
