April 2007Über-Empfindlichkeit
Spielformen der Idiosynkrasie
by Silvia Bovenschen
Manchmal sind es die unwichtigsten Kleinigkeiten des Alltags, gegen die man eine heftige Abneigung entwickelt – seien es die Haut auf der Milch, Männer in Sandalen oder das Quietschen von Kreide auf der Schultafel. Jeder kennt solche skurrilen, absurden Abneigungen, jeder hat seine eigenen unerklärlichen Überempfindlichkeiten. Silvia Bovenschen nähert sich diesem Phänomen aus den verschiedensten Richtungen: Sie grenzt es vom Ekel wie vom Schmerz ab, stellt Überlegungen an über die Beziehungen zwischen Idiosynkrasie und Flucht beim Zigarettenholen und versucht ein Porträt des Schweizers als Verbrecher. Auf diese Weise ist ein aufregendes, vergnügliches und kluges Buch über eine unserer so wichtigen Unwichtigkeiten des täglichen Lebens entstanden. »Silvia Bovenschen macht uns die Freude, mit ihrem versiert und kenntnisreich geschriebenen Buch ein unterschätztes Empfindungsphänomen zu erschließen.« Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung »Über-Empfindlichkeit gehört zu der kleinen Familie der Bücher, aus denen man vorlesen möchte, anstatt über sie Bericht zu erstatten. « Die Zeit Silvia Bovenschen studierte Literaturwissenschaft, Soziologie und Philosophie und lebt als freie Publizistin in Berlin. 2000 erhielt sie den Heinrich-Merck-Preis für Essayistik. Im Suhrkamp Verlag liegt von ihr Die imaginierte Weiblichkeit (es 2431) vor. Zuletzt erschien Älter werden (2006).

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2017The divorce of King Lothar and Queen Theutberga
Hincmar of Rheims's De divortio
by Rachel Stone, Charles West
In the mid-ninth century, Francia was rocked by the first royal divorce scandal of the Middle Ages: the attempt by King Lothar II of Lotharingia to rid himself of his queen, Theutberga and remarry. Even 'women in their weaving sheds' were allegedly gossiping about the lurid accusations made. Kings and bishops from neighbouring kingdoms, and several popes, were gradually drawn into a crisis affecting the fate of an entire kingdom. This is the first professionally published translation of a key source for this extraordinary episode: Archbishop Hincmar of Rheims's De divortio Lotharii regis et Theutbergae reginae. This text offers eye-opening insight both on the political wrangling of the time and on early medieval attitudes towards magic, penance, gender, the ordeal, marriage, sodomy, the role of bishops, and kingship.The translation includes a substantial introduction and annotations, putting the case into its early medieval context and explaining Hincmar's sometimes-dubious methods of argument.

Veterinary medicineJanuary 2022Pongamia for Bio-Energy and Better Environment
by M.V.R. Prasad
Pongamia pinnata is also credited with several preventive and curative properties as established by Ayurvedic medicine. It may be recalled that in the decades of nineteen seventies a few villages reaped sustainable incomes in the face of acute and chronic droughts that plagued the nation, solely due to the availability of some old Pongamia / karanj tree stands around those zones. Kranj oil has exhibited promise as a source of green energy. Nevertheless, the research on improvement of Karanj and its management as a productive plantation is nebulous. It is heartening that the Monograph on Karanj by Dr. M.V.R. Prasad fills this void. Dr. Prasad has been pursuing the work on oil bearing perennial trees of which Pongamaia pinnata has been studied in greater detail during the decades starting from nineteen eighties to date. The Monograph describes clearly as to how Pongamia pinnata could be harnessed to exploit the proven and potential benefits cited above, in addition to giving valuable information on its genetic improvement and plantation management.

Art: general interest (Children's/YA)Títeres trashumantes (Transhumant puppets)
by Mario Martín del Campo, Silvia Eugenia Castillero
In the stretch of emptyness where no one dwells, changing beings are born as drops, as enigmas, as suspension points... They take a little bit of light and then steal shade from darkness. Thus these puppets grow strong, stealthy, and alive in the multiple sceneries of their theatre.
