September 2011Prostitution
Herstellungsweisen einer anderen Welt
by Martina Löw, Renate Ruhne
Bahnhofsviertel, Straßenstrich, Sperrbezirk – hören wir das Wort »Prostitution«, denken wir auch in topographischen Kategorien. Das Feld ist insofern ein vorzüglicher Forschungsgegenstand der Raumsoziologie. Martina Löw und Renate Ruhne haben über Jahre hinweg das Frankfurter Bahnhofsviertel untersucht. In Interviews mit Prostituierten und Freiern, mit Anwohnern und Sozialarbeitern haben sie danach gefragt, welche Emotionen mit bestimmten Räumen verbunden sind und über welche subtilen sozialen Mechanismen das Gewerbe immer wieder neu als Feld des »Anderen«, des »Anormalen« konstruiert wird.

Märchen
by Sophie Tieck, Henrik Schrat, Renate Siebenhaar
»Und beide näherten sich von verschiedenen Seiten dem Bache, und setzten sich an seine Ufer nieder, jeder blickte gedankenvoll vor sich hin, und sahe nicht den andern.« Dunkel funkelnde Edelsteine hat uns Sophie Tieck, die Schwester des berühmteren Bruders, des Romantikers Friedrich Tieck, mit ihren unter- und abgründigen Märchen geschenkt, ihrer Zeit in manchem voraus: Es sind Texte voll subversiver Energie, in denen das Drama der weiblichen Identität inszeniert und ironisch souverän mit den klassisch-romantischen Topoi gespielt wird. Henrik Schrat hat diesen Märchen einen eigenen Imaginationsraum erschlossen. Mit Tuschzeichnungen, die dem Eindruck von Schattenrissen entsprechen, hat er die ebenso bizarren wie modern-seriellen Gestalten, Motive und Handlungen der Sophie Tieck zu einem modernen Buchkunstwerk verknüpft, sie interpretiert und weitergesponnen. - mit einem Nachwort von Renate Siebenhaar und zahlreichen Abbildungen

July 2022Scheunenwirtin
Bio-Spitzenküche von der Schwäbischen Alb. Nachhaltig, authentisch, regional
by Ursula Heinzelmann, Renate Lieb, Matthias Haupt
Am Rande des Himmels, in Bartholomä, einem Luftkurort auf der Ostalb, liegt ein 250 Jahre altes Hofgut. Dort findet sich das Reich der Scheunenwirtin Renate Lieb, die mit ihrem Mann Günther Saiger ein kleines Universum betreibt. Mit gutem Essen und »was im Glas«, das versteht sich von selbst. Wie sie das macht, versteht sich gar nicht von selbst. Es ist schwäbische Küche auf eine fürsorgliche und konsequent nachhaltige ökologische Art – so fundamental und dabei weltoffen, dass man sie hypermodern und in mancherlei Hinsicht geradezu revolutionär nennen muss. Der Grundsatz der Scheunenwirtin lautet: Von der Erde auf den Teller, so regional wie möglich. Zu ihrem Universum gehört nicht nur eine Küche, sondern viel mehr: die Bäckerei, die Werkstatt, die Wäscherei. Die Hühner gehören dazu, die Bienen, der Kräuter- und Gemüsegarten, die Bäume auf den Streuwiesen mit alten Obstsorten, Schafe und Wollschweine. Und Gäste von nah und fern, die in drei großen Sälen Hochzeiten, Geburtstage und andere Feste feiern. In 80 Rezepten lüftet die Scheunenwirtin das Geheimnis ihrer einfachen, einfach-raffinierten Küche und gibt Tipps für nachhaltiges Wirtschaften. Die neue schwäbische Küche: Von der traditionellen Maultasche vom Bruderhahn zur vegetarischen Ofentomate mit Linsentanz bis zum veganen Dreierlei Kürbis-Carpaccio und weit darüber hinaus.

March 2021International Trade in Forest Products
Lumber Trade Disputes, Models and Examples
by G Cornelis van Kooten, Linda Voss
Because of the long-standing Canada-U.S. lumber trade dispute and the current pressure on the world's forests as a renewable energy source, much attention has been directed toward the modelling of international trade in wood products. Two types of trade models are described in this book: one is rooted in economic theory and mathematical programming, and the other consists of two econometric/statistical models--a gravity model rooted in theory and an approach known as GVAR that relies on time series analyses. The purpose of the book is to provide the background theory behind models and facilitate readers in easily constructing their own models to analyse policy questions that they wish to address, whether in forestry or some other sector. Examples in the book are meant to illustrate how models can be used to say something about a variety of issues, including identification of the gains and losses to various players in the North American softwood lumber business, and the potential for redirecting sales of lumber to countries outside the United States. The discussion is expanded to include other products besides lumber, and used to examine, for example, the effects of log export restrictions by one nation on all other forestry jurisdictions, the impacts of climate policies as they relate to the global forest sector, and the impact of oil prices on forest product markets throughout the world. This book will appeal to practising economists and researchers who wish to examine various policies that affect international trade, whether their interest is local or international in scope. Because the book provides the theoretical bases underlying various models, students and practitioners will find this a valuable reference book or supplementary textbook.

November 2021The Forest of the Future – A New Reality
Understanding the ecosystem
by Hans Jürgen Böhmer
What happened with forest dieback? The predictions of the 1980s that forests would be in decline across Europe have not come true. Currently, attention again focuses on the doom scenarios of the loss of entire forests and cultural landscapes in an emotional and sometimes hysterical debate. Biogeographer Hans Jürgen Böhmer refers to updated case studies and his 30 years of research experience on global ecosystems to demonstrate extremely complex interrelations of the natural world that various actors monitor in contrasting ways and characterized by different times and ideologies. Böhmer advocates to embed the sustainability debate more strongly in the living environment, rather than relying exclusively on model calculations.

Business, Economics & LawJune 2020Field Guide to the Forest Trees of Uganda
For Identification and Conservation
by James Kalema, Alan Hamilton
This book is a guide for the identification of the indigenous forest trees of Uganda. It will be useful for those who wish to contribute towards the conservation of the forests or to plant indigenous trees. Information is provided on how to propagate and cultivate about 80 of the most valuable species. Indigenous trees provide numerous resources useful for welfare and development. They include many types of timber and non-timber forest products, such as craft materials, foods and medicines. The proximity of indigenous forest helps to moderate the local climate, making it more suitable for agriculture. Indigenous forests protect springs, therefore safeguarding water supplies more effectively than exotic trees such as pines and eucalyptus. All 450 known indigenous tree species from the forests are included. Both scientific and local names are provided, the latter in 21 languages. Local names facilitate access to knowledge and values traditionally attached to the species, useful when planning pathways of development firmly rooted in local culture. The book will be invaluable for botanists, foresters, rural development workers and members of the general public concerned about contributing to conservation and sustainable development in Uganda. Many of the species grow in neighbouring countries, so the book has relevance there too.

September 2022Der Triumph der Waldrebe in Europa
Ein neues Theaterstück des Georg-Büchner-Preisträgers
by Clemens J. Setz
Beunruhigend weit liegen die Lebensentwürfe auseinander, Übergänge und Zwischentöne drohen in der öffentlichen Debatte zu verschwinden. David ist tot, das veröffentlichen der Influencer Tim und einige Journalist:innen, doch aus Sicht der Eltern leidet der Junge seit seinem Verkehrsunfall an einer Art von Demenz. Renate und Konrad suchen eine Schule für ihren Sohn, der als Tablet in einem Rollstuhl erscheint. Der Bildschirm gibt Davids Gedanken wieder – eingetippt von den Eltern, die behaupten: »Wir waren ja jeden Tag mit ihm zusammen und wissen doch ganz gut, wie er denkt.« Renate und Konrad verweigern sich einer Trauerarbeit, die sie zwänge, den eigenen Sohn sterben zu lassen. »Verschonten« und Kinderlosen, die wie Tim in seinem Video auf Davids Grab hinweisen, begegnen sie mit Kampfgeist und werfen ihnen Gedankenmord vor. In Interviews, Internetvideos und Tonaufnahmen eröffnet Clemens J. Setz ein bizarres Wortgefecht. Wer hat die Kontrolle über die Grenze von Leben und Tod? Abseits der irrwitzigen Debatte begleitet der Autor mit erstaunlichem Realismus die Eltern und ihren Sohn in die Abgründe der Gefühle und Sprachlosigkeit.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2017Imperialism and the natural world
by John M. MacKenzie
Imperial power, both formal and informal, and research in the natural sciences were closely dependent in the nineteenth century. This book examines a portion of the mass-produced juvenile literature, focusing on the cluster of ideas connected with Britain's role in the maintenance of order and the spread of civilization. It discusses the political economy of Western ecological systems, and the consequences of their extension to the colonial periphery, particularly in forms of forest conservation. Progress and consumerism were major constituents of the consensus that helped stabilise the late Victorian society, but consumerism only works if it can deliver the goods. From 1842 onwards, almost all major episodes of coordinated popular resistance to colonial rule in India were preceded by phases of vigorous resistance to colonial forest control. By the late 1840s, a limited number of professional positions were available for geologists in British imperial service, but imperial geology had a longer pedigree. Modern imperialism or 'municipal imperialism' offers a broader framework for understanding the origins, long duration and persistent support for overseas expansion which transcended the rise and fall of cabinets or international realignments in the 1800s. Although medical scientists began to discern and control the microbiological causes of tropical ills after the mid-nineteenth century, the claims for climatic causation did not undergo a corresponding decline. Arthur Pearson's Pearson's Magazine was patriotic, militaristic and devoted to royalty. The book explores how science emerged as an important feature of the development policies of the Colonial Office (CO) of the colonial empire.

Business, Economics & LawSeptember 2016Forest Hydrology
Processes, Management and Assessment
by Devendra Amatya, Thomas Williams, Leon Bren, Carmen de Jong
Forests cover approximately 26% of the world's land surface area and represent a distinct biotic community. They interact with water and soil in a variety of ways, providing canopy surfaces which trap precipitation and allow evaporation back into the atmosphere, thus regulating how much water reaches the forest floor as through fall, as well as pull water from the soil for transpiration. The discipline "forest hydrology" has been developed throughout the 20th century. During that time human intervention in natural landscapes has increased, and land use and management practices have intensified. This book: - Presents cutting edge thinking and assessments in forest hydrology across all latitudes and terrains, including state-of-the-art modelling techniques and methodologies - Describes the latest challenges facing forest hydrology, such as increased occurrence of disturbance, due to extreme floods, drought, disease, and fire, potentially caused by climate change - Is written by an internationally renowned team of scientists, engineers, and managers to give a well-rounded review of the subject The book will be useful for graduate students, professionals, land managers, practitioners, and researchers with a good understanding of the basic principles of hydrology and hydrologic processes. ; This book presents cutting edge thinking and assessments in forest hydrology across all latitudes and terrains, including state-of-the-art modelling techniques and methodologies.
