Spiders are among the most omnipresent and numerous predators in both agricultural and natural ecosystems, and without them insect pest populations would become out of control. Their potential as biological control agents can only be appreciated through a greater understanding of their abundance and species composition in different ecological systems. There is therefore a great need for literature providing guidance on spider identification. The spider fauna of several cultivated crops, in a number of regions of the world, has been well documented. There have been some previous attempts to record the spider fauna of rice in South and Southeast Asia, but these are scattered in the journal literature. This volume provides a comprehensive illustrated guide that can be used by specialists and novices to identify these spiders. The majority of the species covered were collected from a diversity of habitats in the Philippines. The bulk of the book consists of keys to the identification of families, genera and species of Philippine spiders, illustrated by more than 1000 line drawings and 100 colour photographs. A total of 339 species belonging to 134 genera within 26 families are recognized. Of these, 253 species and seven genera are new to science. Distribution maps for individual species and a classification scheme for Philippine riceland spiders are also provided. Overall, the work represents a major contribution to the literature for those interested in spiders or more generally in biological control and crop protection.
Nona and Catalina, grandmother and granddaughter, have to flee to Mexico because of the Argentine dictatorship. The two land in a new place where they will have to reconfigure themselves in many ways. To begin with, as happens in exile, families are reorganized in unique sizes and structures. Catalina is just a child, she understands it at her own pace. Her seemingly innocent gaze observes a Chilean city that opens into a country with a life of its own. La Nona, who wields a singular wisdom, is an identity star. Questions about history and the present, arrive in time. Mexico and Argentina are distant countries on the map, but space-time merges them in a notion made of pain but also a lot of love, the argenmex, which throbs and has taken root in the south and north of the continent. This book does not stop there, but develops, reaching other geographies as well. As if it were a spider's web, it is carefully woven, captures and, above all, crosses threads of multiple meanings, from the historical, political and national, to those of childhood, the family and the individual.

Der Jakobsweg – von den Pyrenäen nach Santiago de Compostela und weiter nach Finisterre, dem früheren Ende der Welt – übt seit Jahrhunderten eine ungebrochene Faszination auf Pilger, Wanderer und Sinnsucher gleichermaßen aus. Susanne Schaber erzählt von der »ersten Kulturstraße Europas« und ihrer vielfältigen Geschichte, von Melodien und Baustilen, von Rebsorten und köstlichen Gerichten. Sie bewegt sich auf Seitenstraßen und verschlungenen Wegen jenseits vom Strom der Massen, begegnet Menschen auf der Suche nach Gott oder sich selbst, sammelt Mythen und Legenden vom Wegesrand und nähert sich so jenem rätselhaften Zauber, der den Wanderer hineinzieht in eine die Zeit überdauernde Welt.

All night a thunderstorm raged in the woods. The tukoni named Wanderer was sleeping and didn’t notice anything, but was awoken by the alarm signal that came from his best friend, the tree. Tukoni the Wanderer convenes the other tukoni, including Moth, who is making a magical comforter. The tukoni gather together and save Wanderer’s best friend, the tree that was struck by lightning during the night. The book has the title that it does because it’s about friendship with the place where you live. People live on the planet Earth. Tukoni live in the forest. For the tukoni, the forest isn’t a fortress, a place of work, or their property. The tukoni are friends with each other, but each and every of them is also a friend of the forest, the place where they live. It’s important to treat the place where you live as a friend.
