April 1996The Best of H. P. Lovecraft
by H. P. Lovecraft, Rudolf Hermstein, H. C. Artmann
Mit seinem Cthulu-Mythos wollte H. P. Lovecraft eine Atmosphäre kosmischen Grauens schaffen, die Archaisches mit den modernen Erkenntnissen der Wissenschaft verbindet und unserer Zeit angemessen ist. Die Angst hielt er für das älteste und stärkste Gefühl, mit dem er in seinen Erzählungen gerne spielte. Die besten Erzählungen von H. P. Lovecraft sind in diesem Rand zusammengefaßt.

Literature & Literary StudiesJune 2021Passing into the present
Contemporary American fiction of racial and gender passing
by Sinead Moynihan
This book is the first full-length study of contemporary American fiction of passing. Its takes as its point of departure the return of racial and gender passing in the 1990s in order to make claims about wider trends in contemporary American fiction. The book accounts for the return of tropes of passing in fiction by Phillip Roth, Percival Everett, Louise Erdrich, Danzy Senna, Jeffrey Eugenides and Paul Beatty, by arguing meta-critical and meta-fictional tool. These writers are attracted to the trope of passing because passing narratives have always foregrounded the notion of textuality in relation to the (il)legibility of "black" subjects passing as white. The central argument of this book, then, is that contemporary narratives of passing are concerned with articulating and unpacking an analogy between passing and authorship. The title promises to inaugurate dialogue on the relationships between passing, postmodernism and authorship in contemporary American fiction.

January 1992Der Schatten aus der Zeit
Erzählung. Deutsch von Rudolf Hermstein
by H. P. Lovecraft, Rudolf Hermstein
Howard Phillips Lovecraft wurde am 20. August 1890 in Providence, Rhode Island geboren und starb am 15. März 1937 ebenda. Im Alter von acht Jahren verlor er seinen Vater. Er wurde fortan hauptsächlich von seiner Mutter, seinem Großvater und zwei Tanten aufgezogen und zeigte bereits früh literarische Begabung. Als Kleinkind lernte er Gedichte auswendig und begann im Alter von sechs Jahren, eigene Gedichte zu schreiben. Sein Großvater unterstützte diese Neigung und erzählte ihm selbsterfundene Horrorgeschichten. 1914 wurde Lovecraft Mitglied einer Vereinigung von amerikanischen Hobbyautoren, deren Ziel es war, durch Kongresse den Austausch unter den Autoren zu fördern. Dieser Austausch mit Gleichgesinnten verlieh Lovecraft neuen Schwung: Die Kurzgeschichten The Tomb und Dagon erstanden in dieser Zeit. 1924 heiratete Lovecraft die sieben Jahre ältere jüdische Ukrainerin Sonia Greene. Einige Jahre später einigten sich die getrennt lebenden Sonia Greene und Lovecraft auf eine einvernehmliche Scheidung, die jedoch nie rechtswirksam vollzogen wurde. Lovecraft kehrte zurück nach Providence und lebte dort wieder mit seinen Tanten. Dieser letzte Abschnitt seines Lebens war der produktivste. Nahezu sämtliche seiner bekannten Erzählungen, wie Der Fall Charles Dexter Ward oder Berge des Wahnsinns stammen aus dieser Zeit. 1936 wurde bei Lovecraft Darmkrebs diagnostiziert. Bis zu seinem Tode ein Jahr später litt er an ständigen Schmerzen und Unterernährung. Rudolf Hermstein, geboren 1940 in Juliusburg in Niederschlesien, ist seit 1971 als freier Übersetzer aus dem Englischen tätig. Er lebt im oberbayerischen Bad Feilnbach.

The environmentMay 1997Phosphorus Loss from Soil to Water
by Edited by H Tunney, P C Brookes, A E Johnston
Phosphorus is an essential element for plant growth and its input has long been recognised as necessary to maintain profitable crop production. However, phosphorus inputs can also increase the biological activity of surface waters and this can lead to the destruction of such aquatic ecosystems. Advanced eutrophication of surface water leads to problems with its use for fisheries, recreation, industry and drinking, due to the increased growth of undesirable algae and aquatic weeds, and oxygen shortages caused by their death and decomposition. It is therefore important to have a good understanding of the causes and mode of phosphorus loss from soil to water, to enable the problems to be controlled and managed. This book has been developed from an international workshop held in Ireland in late 1995. It is the first comprehensive consideration of the topic, and many leading researchers in the area have contributed to it. It is essential reading for all soil scientists and freshwater biologists, as well as for environmentalists, ecologists and agriculturalists concerned with sustainable land management and pollution. The book is also recommended to fisheries managers, fertilizer manufacturers and biologists working for water utilities.

Geography & the EnvironmentAugust 2022Key Questions in Environmental Toxicology
A Study and Revision Guide
by J P F D'Mello
Key Questions in Environmental Toxicology is designed as a self-study tool for undergraduate students. Questions review the origin, characterization and environmental distribution of major pollutants, followed by their absorption and metabolic disposition in living organisms. They address implications for the development of cancer, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary dysfunction and neurological conditions in relation to gaseous pollutants, particulates, persistent organic compounds and radioactive emissions, then cover the impact of pollutants on biodiversity, food safety, and water contamination. This book: - Covers toxicology from human morbidity, ecological impact and biodiversity perspectives, and emphasises the impact of diverse organic pollutants in worsening these interconnected phenomena, leading to wider environmental emergencies; - Provides a selection of fill-in-the-gap, multiple choice and short answer question types for students to vary their learning and enhance motivation; - Includes full answer rationales, allowing students to gain true insight into the subject. Providing support to programmes across environmental science, ecology and human health, and covering all the major biological toxins and pollutants as well as unintended consequences of actions designed to improve outcomes, this book may be used in conjunction with the companion volume Introduction to Environmental Toxicology.

Kaspar Hauser’s Brothers and Sisters. In search of the wild man
by P. J. Blumenthal
What makes human beings human? Is it a life in society that makes us what we are? We often hear stories of persons who have survived in the wild without social contact or who were supposedly raised by wild animals. Kaspar Hauser is probably the most well-known example, but certainly not the only one. P. J. Blumenthal has taken up the hunt for the “wild man” Homo ferus on the boundary between man and animal.
