Children's & YASiete cuervos y ocho cuentos (Seven crows and eight tales)
by Jairo Buitrago, Juan Camilo Mayorga
Seven Crows & Eight Stories gathers together, as its title says, eight stories in which children are protagonists: intelligent children; some mischievous, some rogue, some disobedient; and if there is a common characteristic, it is all naivety. Buitrago has the virtue of understanding very well the world of children and of speaking to them equally. The fears, the joys of children, are well known by the author and proof of this are his texts, where he depicts a very original representation of childhood and reality. These stories about everyday life are very humorous and will make more than one reader finish with a smile. The illustrations of Mayorga, of free stroke and, therefore, very expressive, show us the different scenarios and characters that make up that universe created by Buitrago.

January 1960Zu Lande zu Wasser
Gedichte
by Rafael Alberti, Erwin Walter Palm, Erwin Walter Palm
Rafael Alberti wurde 1902 in einem kleinen Dorf in Andalusien geboren. 1917 zog die Familie nach Madrid. Zunächst fühlte sich Alberti mehr zur Malerei hingezogen, erst 1921 fand er auch zur Literatur, insbesondere zur Poesie. Seinen ersten Gedichtband, Mar y tierra, später in Marinero en tierra umgeändert (dt. Zu Lande und zu Wasser, 1984), veröffentlichte er 1923 und erhielt dafür 1925 den Nationalpreis für Literatur. In den Gedichten verbinden sich persönliche Erfahrungen mit den Einflüssen von Gil Vicente und der spanischen Romanzendichtung - Volkstümlich-Folkloristisches mit avantgardistischen Strömungen, wie dem Surrealismus. Nach dem Bürgerkrieg ging Alberti ins argentinische Exil. 1963 kam er wieder nach Europa, wo er sich in Rom niederließ. Er kehrte 1977 nach Spanien zurück und wurde Abgeordneter der Kommunistischen Partei im Spanischen Parlament. Albertis Werk umfaßt neben zahlreichen Gedichten und Theaterstücken auch die im Exil entstandenen Erinnerungen, La arboleda perdida (1942-1996, dt. Der verlorene Hain, 1997) und andere Schriften. Alberti gehört, neben Federico García Lorca, Jorge Guillén und anderen, zu den Vertretern der legendären Dichtergeneration von 1927 und war einer der großen spanischen Lyriker des 20. Jahrhunderts. Wie kaum ein anderer brachte er volkstümliche und mythische Inhalte und Formen mit den Neuerungen der Moderne in Einklang. Neben zahlreichen Ehrungen und Auszeichnungen erhielt Alberti 1981 den Nationalpreis für Theater und 1983 den Cervantes-Preis. Rafael Alberti starb 1999 in seinem Geburtsort.

Children's & YAJanuary 2015Hatless
by Lateefa Buti / Illustrated by Doha Al Khteeb
Kuwaiti children’s book author Lateefa Buti’s well-crafted and beautifully illustrated children’s book, Hatless, encourages children (ages 6-9) to think independently and challenge rigid traditions and fixed rituals with innovation and creativity. The main character is a young girl named Hatless who lives in the City of Hats. Here, all of the people are born with hats that cover their heads and faces. The world inside of their hats is dark, silent, and odorless. Hatless feels trapped underneath her own hat. She wants to take off her hat, but she is afraid, until she realizes that whatever frightening things exist in the world around her are there whether or not she takes off her hat to see them. So Hatless removes her hat. As Hatless takes in the beauty of her surroundings, she cannot help but talk about what she sees, hears, and smells. The other inhabitants of the city ostracize her because she has become different from them. It is not long before they ask her to leave the City of Hats. Rather than giving up or getting angry, Hatless feels sad for her friends and neighbors who are afraid to experience the world outside of their hats. She comes up with an ingenious solution: if given another chance, she will wear a hat as long it is one she makes herself. The people of the City of Hats agree, so Hatless weaves a hat that covers her head and face but does not prevent her from seeing the outside world. She offers to loan the hat to the other inhabitants of the city. One by one, they try it on and are enchanted by the beautiful world around them. Since then, no child has been born wearing a hat. The people celebrate by tossing their old hats in the air. By bravely embracing these values, Hatless improves her own life and the lives of her fellow citizens. Buti’s language is eloquent and clear. She strikes a skilled narrative balance between revealing Hatless’s inner thoughts and letting the story unfold through her interactions with other characters. Careful descriptions are accompanied by beautiful illustrations that reward multiple readings of the book.

In Doing Good Deeds
by Written by Fan Luming, Illustrated by Xia Xinxin
In Doing Good Deeds: Chinese Stories from Famous Paintings is set against the backdrop of Wang Ximeng's masterpiece "A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains" of the Northern Song dynasty. Adapted from the traditional folk tale "Fan Dan Asks the Buddha," it follows Fan Dan's journey to change his own impoverished fate by seeking out immortals in the deep mountains. Along the way, he meets a ministry councillor wishing for his mute daughter to speak, a tortoise longing to be a dragon, and a landlord aspiring to become a deity, all seeking answers about their destinies from the immortal. As Fan Dan meets the immortals and inquires about others' fates, he cannot inquire about his own. On his journey back, each person realizes their good fortune, offering Fan Dan generous rewards in return. The story embodies the simple wisdom of ancient Chinese people, allowing children to immerse themselves in traditional Chinese culture and appreciate the magnificence of nature, the wisdom of humanity, and the depth of art.

Insecticide & herbicide technologyAugust 1996Illustrations of Quarantine Pests for Europe
by Edited by I M Smith, Anne S Roy
This book is a companion volume to Quarantine Pests for Europe, published originally in 1992 by the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) and CAB INTERNATIONAL (CABI) for the European Union. The previous book provides information on identity, hosts, geographical distribution, biology, detection and identification, means of movement and dispersal, pest significance, phytosanitary measures and a bibliography for all the quarantine pests listed by EPPO and the European Union, but does not contain any illustrations. A second edition of Quarantine Pests for Europe will be published at the end of 1996. The present book contains approximately 400 colour illustrations, most of them new in relation to the very first illustrations of the EPPO Data Sheets which appeared in Bulletin OEPP/EPPO Bulletin in the 1980s. The book covers most of the quarantine pests listed by EPPO and the European Union, including those which have been added to the quarantine lists since 1992. Thus it will be compatible with the second edition of the volume of text data sheets. The quarantine pests concerned are either not present in the Euro-Mediterranean region, or only present to a limited extent and submitted to official control measures. The sequence of presentation is as for the text volume, i.e. insects, nematodes, fungi, bacteria, viruses, parasitic plants. Within each chapter, the pest illustrations appear in alphabetical order. An index including scientific names and synonyms is included at the end of the book. Accompanying text is presented in both English and French. Although it has not been possible to illustrate every listed quarantine pest, this book provides a unique collection that will help phytosanitary inspectors, plant health officers, and others working in the field of plant quarantine, or plant protection in general, to recognize and identify quarantine pests. The book is published by EPPO in association with CABI, and is available for sale exclusively through CABI.
