November 2022The Doors of the Poem
Tribute to Habib Tengour
by Sagawe Regina Keil, Hervé Sanson
The twenty-seven contributions gathered here and superbly illustrated by Hamid Tibouchi - critical studies and creative texts - pay tribute to a work that is at the forefront of Algerian and, more broadly, contemporary letters, but paradoxically still little-known. On the occasion of Habib Tengour's seventy-fifth birthday, this volume is intended to open up new avenues of research into this work, and provide a more accurate understanding of the issues at stake. Tributes from his peers - poets from all over the world - give the book an affective, carnal dimension, extending the researchers' analyses with unexpected echoes. “Tengour warns us: “Only those with the right intention enter the poem! LES PORTES DU POEME thus opens on one of the most important poetic voices of his generation (Prix Dante in 2016, Prix Benjamin Fondane in 2022, Prix Dante Alighieri in 2023, for his body of work).

November 2012Islam und Moderne. Die neuen Denker
by Rachid Benzine, Hadiya Gurtmann
Intellektualität und Frömmigkeit zu vereinbaren, das ist das Ziel einer ganzen Generation muslimischer Denker. Unabdingbare Voraussetzung dafür ist die Entwicklung einer neuen Hermeneutik der Koraninterpretation, zu der muslimische Gelehrte aus zahlreichen Ländern ihren Beitrag leisten und dafür mitunter Kopf und Kragen riskieren. Ihre Namen sind hierzulande noch kaum bekannt, da die wenigsten ihrer Schriften ins Deutsche übersetzt worden sind. Dennoch findet ihr Beitrag zur Versöhnung des Islams mit der Moderne auch in Deutschland hohe Anerkennung: So war zum Beispiel der 2010 verstorbene gebürtige Algerier Mohammed Arkoun, Professor an der Sorbonne in Paris, Fellow am Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin, desgleichen der ebenfalls 2010 verstorbene Ägypter Nasr Hamid Abu Said. Andere Vertreter, die Benzine in seinem Buch darstellt, sind Fazlur Rahman, Farid Esack (Südafrika), Abdul Karim Sorush (Iran) und Abdelmajid Charfi (Tunesien). Neben dem leidenschaftlichen Engagement für die Sache, der sich diese neuen Denker verschrieben haben und so zu Hoffnungsträgern für viele Muslime geworden sind, beeindruckt die persönliche Opferbereitschaft, die manchem von ihnen abverlangt wurde. Abu Saids Ehe etwa wurde zwangsgeschieden, er erhielt Morddrohungen und mußte ins niederländische Exil flüchten.

Dairy farmingFebruary 2021Milk of Non Bovine Mammals
Chemistry and Health Benefits
by Anamika Das, Tanmay Hazra & Rohit G Shindhav
.Milk is an integral part of human diet from ancient times. It provides a significant amount of protein, micronutrients and vitamins, which are essential to alleviate and fight malnutrition. To the worlds total milk production, Cow milk contributes 82.7%, followed by milk from Buffaloes, Goats, Sheeps and Camels. Cow milk contributes almost majority of worlds total milk production. Apart from plenty of health benefits of cow milk, the adverse effects or devil side of cow milk have been observed for certain population in the world. These adverse effects have been categorized as symptoms ofLactose intolerance- a condition characterized by difficulty in digesting milk due to absence of particular enzyme Lactase. Milk allergy occurs due to adverse immune reaction due to presence of certain milk proteins and this is usually termed as milk allergy cow milk protein allergy (CMPA). Non-cow (goat, camel, donkey, yak, horse) milks are closely associated with the culinary cultures of many societies throughout the world. Non-Bovine milks draw great interest for researchers in terms of milk production, technology, chemistry, microbiology, safety, nutrition, and health aspects

Dragon fruit (pitaya) is a perennial climbing cactus, native to the tropical areas of North, Central and South America. It is suited to tropical and subtropical regions and is commercially grown in an increasing number of countries, including Israel, Australia and the USA. Dragon fruit generates considerable consumer interest because of its exotic appearance and potential health benefits. The fruit is rich in nutrients and phytochemical compounds. It can be eaten fresh or used in the preparation of juices, jellies, jams, etc. The natural bioactive compounds in pitaya have the potential to be exploited in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Increasingly cultivated worldwide, the plant is drought-resistant, easily adapts to light intensity and high temperatures, and has a tolerance to a wide range of soil salinities. With ongoing global warming, dragon fruit has great potential as a new crop for many more countries. This book is a compilation of the current state of knowledge on dragon fruit physiology, cultivation, production technology, postharvest management and processing, and is written by leading international authors.

Conventional plant breeding alone can no longer sustain the rising global demand for food. Genetic engineering technology makes it possible to develop new crop varieties with improved yield performance, specific quality attributes (external and internal in vegetable crops), resistance to diseases and insect pests, and environmental stresses. Genetic engineering technology for developing GM crops is complementary to genome editing and other breeding technologies. In addition to food requirements, transgenic crops have the possibility to carry edible vaccines and therapeutic proteins, to help combat human disease and malnutrition. This book reviews the importance and safety of transgenic vegetable crops and covers a wide variety of crops and different technologies. It includes: Genetic engineering in tomato, eggplant, peppers, amaranth, cauliflower, carrot, cucurbits, potato, tropical tubers and melons. Transgenic resistance to viral diseases. Embryogenic cell suspension culture. Genome editing and CRISPR/Cas9. Molecular techniques for biofortification. RNAi strategies for vegetable crop improvement. Designing futuristic vegetable crop varieties. This book is suitable for researchers in horticulture, plant science, and agricultural biotechnology as well as practitioners in vegetable breeding and seed production.

Peace studies & conflict resolutionMay 2015Failed Relations between Hamid Karzai and the United States
What Can We Learn?
by Ronald E. Neumann
The U.S. relationship with Afghan president Hamid Karzai deteriorated from a warm start to suspicion and hostility over the course of Karzai’s term. Intertwining personal and political considerations, this report examines how aspects of the Afghan political culture that is part of Karzai’s life experience, combined with a counterproductive U.S. approach that unnecessarily aggravated the situation, led to a downward spiral of miscommunication and mistrust that continued to the end of Karzai’s presidency in September 2014.

by Hamid Reza Shahabadi
Winner of Book of the Year, 2020 Silver Medalist of The Flying Turtle, 2020 Selected by the International Youth Library for The White Ravens Catalogue, 2019 This is where the world of stories meets history, human feelings, impossible choices, and relatable characters. Hamid Reza Shahabadi has done his magic once more: he entangles human fears with hopes and presents to the reader a rollercoaster of adventures, excitements, twists, and a final huge surprise. In The Well of Darkness, each loose end is tied up so perfectly that all of a sudden, his narrative world makes more sense. Characters finally find their due representation. It has all the elements of a good story, which haunts not only the readers’ minds but also their hearts and for a long time after finishing it, their memory. This is a great example of an Iranian horror story, which is narrated in alternating times. The protagonist is not just one persona; there are at least two. The book picks up what book two left off, however as the author has mentioned, it can be read as an independent historical horror story. we know that Shakour is not the only one who comes to the world of living; Razi is one of those lost souls who cannot find solace anywhere. He is up to something and here is where Reza’s role become bolder. At the present time, the other protagonist needs answers, if he wants to save the life of an innocent man. Hamid Reza Shahabadi has clearly put a lot of effort in creating an everlasting work of literature that is appealing to both Iranian children as well as young avid readers from around the world. The Vertical Graveyard has been published in Egypt too.
