        Cases of citation

        On literature in art

        by Chloe Julius, Michael Green, Matthew Holman

        Cases of citation presents a history of artists who incorporated literary references into their work from the 1960s onwards. Through a series of object-focused chapters that each take up a singular 'case of citation', the collection considers how literary citation emerged as a viable and urgent strategy for artists during this period. It surveys eleven artworks by a diverse group of artists - including David Wojnarowicz, Lis Rhodes, Romare Bearden and Silvia Kolbowski - whose citations draw on works as varied as Karl Marx's Das Kapital and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. The book also features an interview with pioneering feminist artist Elaine Reichek that discusses her career-long commitment to working with text. Together, the artworks and cited texts are approached from various critical angles, with each author questioning and complicating the ways in which we can 'read' textual citations in art.

        Fish Viruses and Bacteria

        Pathobiology and Protection

        by Patrick T K Woo, Rocco C Cipriano

        Taking a disease-based approach, Fish Viruses and Bacteria: Pathobiology and Protection focuses on the pathobiology of and protective strategies against the most common, major microbial pathogens of economically important marine and freshwater fish. The book covers well-studied, notifiable piscine viruses and bacteria, including new and emerging diseases which can become huge threats to local fish populations in new geographical regions if transported there via infected fish or eggs. A concise but thorough reference work, this book: - Covers key viral and bacterial diseases of notable fish species; - Reviews major well-established piscine pathogens as well as new, emerging and notifiable diseases; and - Contains the most up-to-date research contributed by a team of over fifty world experts. An invaluable bench book for fish health consultants, veterinarians and all those wanting instant access to information, this book is also a useful textbook for students specializing in fish health and research scientists initiating fish disease research programmes. ; Taking a disease-based approach, this book focuses on the pathobiology of and protective strategies against the most common, major microbial pathogens of economically important marine and freshwater fish.

        Die seligen Augenblicke

        Gedichte

        by Friedrich Schiller, Sigrid Damm, Sigrid Damm

        Schillers Popularität, auch als Lyriker, war bereits zu seinen Lebzeiten groß. Davon zeugen nicht zuletzt die zahlreichen Parodien, die die verbreitete Kenntnis des Originals zur Voraussetzung hatten. Das Publikum liebte seine Verse; die Kritiker dagegen griffen sie an. Die Begeisterung der Leser weckte das Mißtrauen seiner Kollegen. Clemens Brentano denunzierte die Leser der Schillerschen Gedichte: »...drum lieben sie den herrlichen Schiller vorzüglich, weil sie seine sentenziöse reflektierende Diktion in lauter Stammbuchbruchstücke zerknicken und verschlingen können.« Schillers Gedichte müssen neu gelesen werden, seine Balladen ebenso wie seine Oden, Hymnen oder Lieder. Und in dem umfangreichen lyrischen Œuvre sind noch immer Entdeckungen zu machen. Dazu bietet dieser Band Gelegenheit. Sigrid Damm hat aus Schillers Lyrik diejenigen Gedichte ausgewählt, die ihr besonders nahe sind, bekannte und auch weniger bekannte Texte, die bis heute lebendig geblieben sind.

        Potato and Sweetpotato in Africa

        Transforming the Value Chains for Food and Nutrition Security

        by Edited by Jan Low, Moses Nyongesa, Sara Quinn, Monica Parker

        Sweetpotato and potato are expanding faster than any other food crops in sub-Saharan Africa. There is growing investment in research to address bottlenecks in value chains concerning these two crops, and growing interest from the private sector in investing in them. This book addresses five major themes on sweetpotato and potato: policies for germplasm exchange, food security and trade in Africa; seed systems; breeding and disease management; post-harvest management, processing technologies and marketing systems; nutritional value and changing behaviours. Read three chapters for free.

        RNAi for Plant Improvement and Protection

        by Bruno Mezzetti, Jeremy Sweet, Lorenzo Burgos

        RNA interference (RNAi) has the potential to make major contributions towards sustainable crop production and protection with minimal environmental impacts compared to other technologies. RNAi is being developed and exploited both within plants (i.e. host-induced gene silencing, HIGS) and/or as topical applications (e.g. spray-induced gene silencing, SIGS) for targeting pest and pathogen genes and for manipulating endogenous gene expression in plants. Chapters by international experts review current knowledge on RNAi, methods for developing RNAi systems in GM plants and applications for crop improvement, crop production and crop protection. Chapters examine both endogenous systems in GM plants and exogenous systems where interfering RNAs are applied to target plants, pests and pathogens. The biosafety of these different systems is examined and methods for risk assessment for food, feed and environmental safety are discussed. Finally, aspects of the regulation of technologies exploiting RNAi and the socio-economic impacts of RNAi technologies are discussed.

        Caroline Schlegel-Schelling wurde am 2. September 1763 in Göttingen als Tochter eines angesehenen Universitätsprofessors geboren. Sie wuchs in einem intellektuellen Milieu unter Dichtern und Denkern auf und genoß eine hervorragende Bildung. Nach dem Tod ihres ersten Mannes heiratete sie 1796 den Literaturkritiker August Wilhelm Schlegel, trennte sich jedoch 1803. In dritter Ehe heiratete sie Friedrich Wilhelm Schelling, Philosoph und Professor an der Universität Jena. Ihre umfangreichen Briefwechsel erlangten als geistesgeschichtliche Dokumente der Romantik große Bedeutung. Sie schrieb u.a. mit Humboldt, Goethe, Schiller, Schlegel, Fichte, Novalis und Herder. Sie verfaßte außerdem Rezensionen, war Übersetzerin, Lektorin und Sekretärin für ihre Ehemänner Schlegel und Schelling. Caroline Schlegel-Schelling starb am 7. September 1809 in Maulbronn.
