        Introduction to the history

        by Natalia Yakovenko

        The new book by the well-known Ukrainian historian, chief of the Department of history of National University of Kyiv Mohyla Academy, professor Natalia Yakovenko, despite being a university textbook and a propaedeutic course on a professional subject, is written in a simple and easy to read manner which is far from academic cliché and embodies high academic style in its best meaning. However, the word 'textbook' even in its most positive meaning applies to this book only as a kind of mask that hides much more complex structure, not only stylistically but by its content and pragmatism as well. As the professor herself admits, this book does not belong to any classic genres. This is not a history of historiography, not a methodology of history and this is not an introduction to history as well.

        Ein Mann und eine Frau

        Aus dem Italienischen von Arianna Giachi

        by Natalia Ginzburg, Arianna Giachi

        Natalia Ginzburg erzählt Geschichten über eine Zeitkrankheit: über den Zerfall familiärer, ehelicher, freundschaftlicher, verwandtschaftlicher Beziehungen. Sie erzählt ohne Pathos und ohne Sentimentalität, unaufwendig und daher um so wirkungsvoller, um so radikaler in ihrem Protest gegen die italienische Gesellschaft mit ihrem Familien-, Mütter- und Kinderkult. »Ein Mann und eine Frau« ist die Geschichte eines Mannes, der im überholten, ermüdenden Rahmen einer Familie lebt und ständig mit dem konfrontiert ist, was hätte sein können: seine einzige echte Beziehung war die zu der Frau, mit der er vor seiner Ehe gelebt hat. Die zweite Erzählung »Borghesia«. »Das Lied vom Bürgertum« erzählt von einer Frau, die mit ihren Katzen lebt, die kommen und gehen, geboren werden und sterben. Und wie in einer Parabel läßt sich das Leben ihrer Katzen auf das ihrer Familie überragen: man kommt, man geht, lebt unverbindlich, beziehungslos wie die Katzen.

        Illustrations 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.

Severin gives to Goat the most delicious carrots from his grandmother's garden, and bends the branches of a maple tree for him, because his new friend likes new leaves so much! In return, Goat pushes Severin and his friend on the swing, and makes them laugh with his antics. And one day he even saved a bird that fell out of the nest... Together with Severin, little readers will learn step by step the secrets of a world that opens up to you if you are not afraid to go outside of Grandma's gate for the first time!   From 6 to 8 years, 13006 words Rightsholders: Ivan Fedechko, ivan.fedechko@starlev.com.ua
