May 1995Der Unbesiegbare
Utopischer Roman
by Stanisław Lem, Roswitha Dietrich, Franz Rottensteiner
Der Astrogar Horpach und sein Stellvertreter Rohan stehen vor einem Rätsel, als man die unversehrte »Kondor« und die überreste ihrer Besatzung findet. Es gibt keinen überlebenden, aber Lebensmittelvorräte, Wasser- und Sauerstoffreserven wären für viele Monate ausreichend gewesen. Allerdings sind die Innenräume des Raumschiffs in einem unbeschreiblichen Zustand, als habe eine Horde Wilder darin gehaust. Wie die Wissenschaftler des »Unbesiegbaren« feststellen, gibt es auf Regis III keine feindliche Fauna oder Flora und doch wird der Planet von einer Macht beherrscht, die auch der Rettungsexpedition fast zum Verhängnis wird.

Geography & the EnvironmentSea Ice? Now You Don’t!

The multi-award winning series of comics, Green Humour is back as the third anthology- Sea Ice? Now You Don’t!

This is a wild ride for sure, but not one which needs you to leave your brains at home! Sea Ice? Now You Don’t is the third in the series of Green Humour collections, after Green Humour for a Greying Planet and Pugmarks and Carbon Footprints, and includes comics published in periodic columns with platforms like DW News, The Hindu, Roundglass Sustain, and Gocomics.

Agriculture & farmingJune 2020Medicinal and Aromatic Plants
Utilization and Conservation Techniques
by Gopal Shukla ,Bidhan Roy, Vineeta & Sumit Chakravarty
Medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) are invaluable natural resources of use to human race, without which the survival of human/ animal race is incredible. There is an enormous diversity of plants which are put into medicinal, beauty care and culinary purposes. Cultivation of commercially important medicinal plants is in high demand as the global community is growing towards a green and herbal oriented approach. India as a country has thousands of years old traditional medicinal systems which rely solely on medicinal plants. There is a gradual loss of medicinal plants with the increasing demand of plant derived drugs. Majority of medicinal plants are still collected from the wild. This doesnt meet the demand and thereby pave ways to adulterants. The over extraction and ignorant activities cause biodiversity loss. Farm production of MAPs in these days is extremely vulnerable to underlying climate risk. Sustainable management of these resources requires urgent attention for environmental stability and improvement of livelihood. New income generating opportunities are opening up for rural populations and in particular for small-scale farmers as well as marginal farmers through MAPs cultivation. New generation are not well aware of the various uses of many plants to which it was put before. Thus there is an urgent need to spread the knowledge and conserve the wild populations of medicinal plant diversity in various forest areas of India. Considering the importance of the MAPs, an attempt was taken in this edited book to understand and highlight the role of MAPs in livelihood improvement and income generation through cultivation, conservation and utilisation. Most of the chapters in this book dealt with individual medicinal plants in detail. Two chapters have also been included on pests and diseases management of MAPs. Nowadays, IPR issues are more important. One chapter has been included on IPR issues on medicinal plants. A chapter also devoted on value addition of the medicinal plant products.

Colonialism & imperialismDecember 2019Violence and Emancipation in Colonial Ideology
by Rohan B. E. PRICE
Are there ethics justifying anti-colonial violence? How and why did the violence and visions of nationalist movements become incorporated by colonial and neo-colonial rule? Using the insurrection by the Malayan Communist Party (1948–1960) as an example, this book argues that resorting to violence sped up the decolonisation of British Malaya by forcing its colonial administration to invent Malay nationalism and pursue ameliorative social policy among the Chinese diaspora community in a manner clearly derived from the Party’s platform. Yet this was not the same as giving the country economic emancipation from the expectations of neo-colonial rule. Violence and Emancipation in Colonial Ideology entertains no warm colonial memories of the cold war years. Confirming Price’s reputation as a plain speaking critic of Empire apologia, this book asks how colonial ideology was considered to be beneath Europe yet desperately needed by it. He faces down nostalgic communities defending an outdated view that “might was right” in South East Asia and that communism failed to contribute to the world that came to be. Using an Althusserian assumption, the book begs the question: if a late colonial state was subjective, then how did it claim a sufficiently objective mantle to rule and how did ideological techniques enable this? “… A major contribution to the literature.” – Prof Kerry Brown, Professor of Chinese Studies and Director of the Lau China Institute at King’s College London “… [an] unparalleled command of both scholarly literature and primary sources…” – Prof Björn Ahl, Professor and Chair of Chinese Legal Culture at the University of Cologne

Colonialism & imperialismJanuary 2017Reading Colonies
Property and Control of the British Far Eas
by Rohan B. E. PRICE
By 1945, everywhere one looked in the Far East the British Empire was being openly questioned or was failing outright. Yet in the previous century, the British had been the pre-eminent imperial power from Weihaiwei to North Borneo. Reading Colonies: Property and Control of the British Far East investigates how the British held on for so long. Rent control legislation, and other measures of property law such as land improvement opportunities, are nominated as key tools used to frustrate decolonization in most Eastern colonies. British colonial administrations tried long and hard to inhibit the dialectical discord between their colonial hierarchism and local forms of nationalism with the prompts and plaudits of property policy. In cases where indigenous landlordism masqueraded as patriotism, independence came quickly (Ceylon and Burma). Where public housing established itself as a key post-war plank of social policy, freedom from British rule was a more gradual affair (British Malaya and Hong Kong). This study concludes that British colonial regimes did not offer a share of their industrial modernity to stay at the apex of political power, but readily adjusted old-style landlordism to keep nationalist usurpers at bay.
