The Emerald Garden
by Raja Malah
On every day off, the child – the central character – visits his grandmother who lives in her old house amidst a flower garden at the foot of a mountain. The book describes one of those visits so we can better understand the grandmother's personality, who is full of love and tenderness. We experience this visit through the child's narration of the details as he relates all the beautiful moments rooted in his heart and memory with great love and appreciation for his grandmother. Days, months and years pass by – the wheel of life turns and the grandson becomes a father, then a grandfather. One day he decides to visit his grandmother's house with his grandchildren. The house had been transformed into a public park as per his grandmother’s wishes, as a gift to the people of the neighbourhood and their children, to enjoy the tranquillity and beauty of that garden she loved and cared for her whole life. During that nostalgic visit, reality mixes with imagination and the present with the man’s past and he finds himself facing strange manifestations: the garden sparkles with precious stones and the fig tree near his heart bears emeralds, which surprises him, as if he is prey to the hallucination of imagination, only to discover the name chosen by the mayor for his grandmother's garden – a name that reinforces his vision of "Emerald Garden". Age Range: 10+ years

by S N Moorthy, M S Sajeev, R P K Ambrose, R J Anish
This book provides comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge relating to the morphological, structural, and functional characteristics of tuber starches, particularly in relation to their applications in food and industry. In recent years there has been significant progress and extensive research conducted on tropical root starches and especially on some of the lesser known tuber crop starches. There has also been a shift towards using biomaterials in place of synthetic materials in various applications. As researchers investigate the availability of natural products with similar properties, starch has been identified as a reliable alternative to these synthetic materials. Reflecting the growing body of research, Tropical Tuber Starches: - Explores the structure, properties and applications of tropical root and tuber starches (cassava, sweet potato, aroids, yams and other minor tuber crops) - Includes a chapter on the methodology for starch characterisation - Covers patents on starch-based products and the commercial potential of tropical root starches A valuable resource for researchers and students, plant breeders, and commercial producers working with, or considering working with, tropical tuber starches.

2022Coping Better with Cancer Therapy
Improved quality of life with the right vitamins and minerals
by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Klaus Kisters
Cancer patients often suffer from malnutrition. Not only do they lack energy-providing macronutrients such as protein, fats and carbohydrates, they particularly lack the micronutrients that regulate the metabolism. Micronutrients such as vitamin D, selenium, L-carnitine, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin C significantly contribute to supporting the immune system of cancer patients, reducing inflammatory processes, alleviating the side effects of cancer therapy, and improving their quality of life. This patient guide provides information about the relationship between cancer, malnutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, the influence of cancer therapeutics on micronutrient balance, and how cancer patients can support their therapy and improve their quality of life with a controlled intake of micronutrient

September 2012Paris. Eine Liebe
Erzählung
by Urs Faes, Nanne Meyer
Milde Septembertage in Paris: Nach fast dreißig Jahren kehrt Eric zurück in die Stadt, von der er einmal gehofft hatte, sie würde ihm die Erfüllung bringen. Statt dessen brachten ihn die Tage mit Claudine an den Rand der Verzweiflung – Claudine mit ihren hellen, fast weißblonden Haaren, die Hände in den Taschen ihres grünen Mantels vergraben. Jetzt scheint eine Wiederbegegnung möglich. Und es stellt sich die Frage, ob »einer nicht genauso aus dem besteht, was er nicht gelebt hat, wie aus dem, was durch Zufall seine Wirklichkeit geworden ist«. -- Mit Zeichnungen von Nanne Meyer.

Die tollen Fowleys und ihre Freunde
by Rosa Raacz
Die tollen Fowleys und ihre Freunde Vor ein paar Jahren machte ich Urlaub auf dem Bauernhof meines Sohnes. Meine beiden Enkelkinder waren ungefähr sechs oder sieben Jahre alt. Sie wussten, dass ich gerne Geschichten erzähle, und jeden Abend, bevor sie schlafen gingen, erzählte ich ihnen von den Tieren auf ihrer Farm. Sie wollten immer mehr hören ... Die Geschichten handelten von Fluffy dem Hühnchen, seinem Freund John Ernest der Schildkröte, Hi-Ho dem Pferd, Gideon der Ziege, und den anderen – kurz gesagt, ein fröhlicher Haufen! Ich kehrte nach Hause zurück und erhielt ein paar Tage später einen Brief von meiner Schwiegertochter, in dem ich gebeten wurde, die Geschichten aufzuschreiben, damit sie ihren Kindern vorlesen konnte. Und so entstand dieses Buch. Alle, die Winnie the Pooh, Der Wind in den Weiden, Der Hobbit, und all diese wundervollen Bücher unserer Kindheit geliebt haben, werden auch dieses Buch lieben und ein paar Stunden Unterhaltung genießen, unabhängig vom Alter. Ich schreibe seit über fünfzig Jahren; Einige meiner Arbeiten wurden bereits veröffentlicht, andere sind noch in Vorbereitung. Ich habe mit der Veröffentlichung dieses Buches gewartet, bis ein passender Illustrator gefunden wurde. Ich hatte das Glück, mit Miss Friedman zusammenzuarbeiten, die es geschafft hat, die Charaktere der Geschichten auf einzigartige Weise zu personalisieren. Viel Spaß! Ihre Rosa Raacz

Children's & YAApril 2021Aai and I
by Mamta Nainy and Sanket Pethkar
Aadya looks just like her mother (Aai)—same little nose, same delicate ears, same big eyes, and identical thick, long hair. But one day, Aai goes away to a big hospital with a promise to return before Aadya learns her next Math lesson. The long-awaited return shocks Aadya because now her mother looks completely unlike her. She wonders if Aai will ever greet her with her usual, cheery, ‘Hello! Mini-me.’ Or will Aadya have to take matters into her own hands just to hear that again?With lyrical prose and a tender touch, Aai and I is an empowering story of the bond between a mother and a daughter, and of the little one finding her own identity as she finds herself no longer 'looking' the same as her mother. Mamta Nainy captures with elan Aadya’s innocence, impatience, and dilemma, and Sanket Pethkar’s vibrant, gorgeous artwork brings to life a typical Indian household in the state of Maharashtra.
