        Títeres trashumantes (Transhumant puppets)

        by Mario Martín del Campo, Silvia Eugenia Castillero

        In the stretch of emptyness where no one dwells, changing beings are born as drops, as enigmas, as suspension points... They take a little bit of light and then steal shade from darkness. Thus these puppets grow strong, stealthy, and alive in the multiple sceneries of their theatre.

        Cases of citation

        On literature in art

        by Chloe Julius, Michael Green, Matthew Holman

        Cases of citation presents a history of artists who incorporated literary references into their work from the 1960s onwards. Through a series of object-focused chapters that each take up a singular 'case of citation', the collection considers how literary citation emerged as a viable and urgent strategy for artists during this period. It surveys eleven artworks by a diverse group of artists - including David Wojnarowicz, Lis Rhodes, Romare Bearden and Silvia Kolbowski - whose citations draw on works as varied as Karl Marx's Das Kapital and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. The book also features an interview with pioneering feminist artist Elaine Reichek that discusses her career-long commitment to working with text. Together, the artworks and cited texts are approached from various critical angles, with each author questioning and complicating the ways in which we can 'read' textual citations in art.

        Parthenium Weed

        Biology, Ecology and Management

        by Stephen W Adkins, Stephen W Adkins, Asad Shabbir, Asad Shabbir, Kunjithapatham Dhileepan, Muhammad H Ali, Sally Allan, Ali Ahsan Bajwa, Amalia Belgeri, Shane Campbell, Nimal Chandrasena, Michael Day, Naeem Khan, Ian A W Macdonald, Alec McClay, Andrew McConnachie, Rachel McFadyen, Adusumilli Narayana Rao, Boyang Shi, Bharat B. Shrestha, Lorraine Strathie, Sushil Kumar, Tamado Tana, Saichun Tang, Colette Terblanche, Nguyen Thi Lan Thi, Wayne D. Vogler, Arne Witt, Kunjithapatham Dhileepan

        This book explores the most important aspects of the biology, ecology and management of what is one of the world's worst weeds. Originally regarded as a major weed in Australia and India, Parthenium weed is now widespread in around 48 countries in Africa, Asia and the South Pacific, and has the potential to spread to new countries in Africa, Asia and Europe. This book, which is a collective effort by 27 members of the International Parthenium Weed Network, addresses research and knowledge gaps for different countries. It examines the weed's mode of spread, its impact on agricultural production, its effect on the environment and on human health, and its management using biological control, as well as cultural, physical and chemical approaches. It also considers the coordination of the weed's management, possible uses for Parthenium weed, its present distribution and how this is impacted by climate change. This book includes: A detailed analysis of Parthenium weed biology. Experiences with Parthenium weed worldwide. An explanation of practical management options. This book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in universities and institutes, in the fields of plant ecology, botany, agriculture, conservation and restoration ecology.
