October 2004Ich, Mireille, als ich Yasmina war
Roman
by Fadéla Sebti, Nicolaus Bornhorn
»Ich heiße Mireille. Man hat mich in Yasmina umbenannt. Das ist mein arabischer Vorname.Jener, den Nadir für mich ausgewählt hat, als ich mich, nachdem ich ihn aus Liebe geheiratet hatte, zum Islam bekannte, aus Gründen der Anpassung.«Die französische Jurastudentin Mireille verliebt sich in Aix-en-Provence in den Marokkaner Nadir und folgt ihm nach Casablanca. Aber die Anpassung an den »sonderbaren Gott, der es den Männern erlaubte, vier Frauen zu heiraten und sie zu verstoßen, wann immer es ihnen gefiel«, gelang ihr nicht. Nadir verstößt »die sanfte Studentin, die ich zu meiner Frau gemacht hatte«, weil sie immer »geringschätziger, überheblicher wurde«; zu verschieden sind ihre Lebensentwürfe. Verstoßen und somit »definitiv aufgenommen in den Schoß islamischer Frauen, jener Menschheit zweiter Klasse«, lernte sie zweifach zu existieren: »als Yasmina, die Unterwürfige, und als Mireille, die Revoltierende«. Mireille verliert den Kampf.

Science & MathematicsApril 2018Invasion Biology
Hypotheses and Evidence
by Jonathan M. Jeschke, Tina Heger, Sabrina Amador-Vargas, Tim M. Blackburn, Raul Rennó Braga, Phillip Cassey, Simon Debille, Martin Enders, Felix Erhard, Alejandro G. Farji-Brener, Gordon A. Fox, Pablo García-Díaz, Lorena Gómez Aparicio, James Griesemer, Julie L. Lockwood, Christopher J. Lortie, Caroline Müller, Regina Nordheimer, Petr Pysek, Samuel M. Scheiner, Julian Starzer, Olena Torchyk, Jean Ricardo Simões Vitule
There are many hypotheses describing the interactions involved in biological invasions, but it is largely unknown whether they are backed up by empirical evidence. This book fills that gap by developing a tool for assessing research hypotheses and applying it to twelve invasion hypotheses, using the hierarchy-of-hypotheses (HoH) approach, and mapping the connections between theory and evidence. In Part 1, an overview chapter of invasion biology is followed by an introduction to the HoH approach and short chapters by science theorists and philosophers who comment on the approach. Part 2 outlines the invasion hypotheses and their interrelationships. These include biotic resistance and island susceptibility hypotheses, disturbance hypothesis, invasional meltdown hypothesis, enemy release hypothesis, evolution of increased competitive ability and shifting defence hypotheses, tens rule, phenotypic plasticity hypothesis, Darwin's naturalization and limiting similarity hypotheses and the propagule pressure hypothesis. Part 3 provides a synthesis and suggests future directions for invasion research

April 2018Grand traité des fleurs comestibles
Histoire et cuisine
by Mireille Gayet
Great Treatise on Edible Flowers History and Cuisine The idea of eating flowers is far from being new but it is unquestioningly spreading and still surprises a good number of us. Whether rated or not, all chefs understandably succumb to their charm in the kitchen. Gastronomically speaking, aesthetics is as important as taste and colourful flowers raise the flair of a dish, delighting our view and exciting our taste buds. What child doesn’t know that clover flowers are sweet and can be delightfully savoured like candy? And which of us, in childhood, was not drawn to tasting these beautifully coloured flowers? Wearily, all that is lovely-to-look-at is not necessarily good to eat and our ancestors had to learn the hard way. Like mushrooms, toxic flowers also exist, and are carefully listed in this book. Among the 250 edible flowers, this Grand Treatise lingers on those flowers one is most likely to have in a backyard garden or growing on a terrace, and which are easily recognisable and found in nature. More and more flowers are being sold in in specialised stores, even in markets, both dry and now even fresh. Flavoured butter, flowery ice-cubes, candied, served in colourful salads, condiments, deliciously flavoured creamed doughnuts, stuffed, distinctly flavoured sauces and soups, tasty, out-of-the-ordinary buffets; anything and everything goes as many of the recipes here demonstrate. Guests are sure to be delighted! And since conversation will unquestionably gravitate toward flowers, which can’t help but to draw attention, their history (origins, discovery, use in by-gone days) is also related here. Mireille Gayet, author of numerous cook books, and recipient of several awards, gives us all the means to tackle and develop this magnificent aspect of gastronomy that is the art of cooking with flowers.

March 2015Grand traité du café
by Mireille Gayet
Great Treatise on Coffee The history of coffee is not simply the story of the small grain that originated in the Middle East and was used in cooking, like a spice. As a drink, coffee offers infinite combinations depending on the rites and customs of social, medical, cultural, economic and political trends. This book offers the reader a wonderful journey through time and space between Ethiopia and America, Europe and Asia, of initiation to various forms of coffee-drinking that differ from country to country and era. The book is a rich discovery of the numerous botanic varieties, diverse methods of preparation, and also evokes famous writers and artists in coffee shops and the influence and importance these had for them. In reality, an entire world hides behind coffee. And that is what this treatise sets out to do: Reveal the countless facets and varied ways of savoring its magic. This book can be placed almost anywhere in the house: In the kitchen, along with cookbooks; in the library, next to dictionaries; next to the coffee machine; and especially on the bedside table of coffee-lovers, whether occasional or unconditional, aroma experts, or converted coffee-lovers... or in the process of becoming!

Science & MathematicsThe Story of CO2
Big Ideas for a Small Molecule
by Geoffrey A. Ozin, Mireille F. Ghoussoub
The climate crisis requires that we drastically reduce carbon dioxide emissions across all sectors of society. The Story of CO2 contributes to this vital conversation by highlighting the cutting-edge science and emerging technologies – a number of which are already commercially available – that can transform carbon dioxide into a myriad of products such as feedstock chemicals, polymers, pharmaceuticals, and fuels. This approach allows us to reconsider CO2 as a resource, and to add "carbon capture and use" to our other tools in the fight against catastrophic climate change. The Story of CO2 explores all aspects of carbon dioxide, from the atomic to the universal perspective, and takes the reader on an epic journey into our physical world, starting from the moment of the Big Bang, all the way to the present world in which atmospheric CO2 concentrations continue to grow. This story seeks to inspire readers with the latest carbon utilization technologies and explain how they fit within the broader context of carbon mitigation strategies in the shift towards a sustainable energy economy.
