        The fight against global hunger demands a fresh perspective. Lesser-known legumes, often called 'potential pulses', can play a pivotal role. These underutilized powerhouses, including adzuki bean, bambara groundnut, faba bean, cowpea, grass pea and horse gram, among others, are currently untapped resources. Their potential goes beyond their ability to thrive in harsh environments (caused by high temperature, drought, etc.) and fix nitrogen. With increased understanding of these legumes and their genetic and genomic potential, we can unlock a new world of sustainable and nutritious food sources. This book explores: The rich genetic diversity of potential pulses and its role in resilience. How advanced genomics can identify traits for improved yields, pest resistance, and climate adaptation. Strategies for conserving and utilizing these valuable genetic resources. Breeding programmes harnessing genetic potential to create next-generation pulse varieties. Focusing on the untapped genetic and genomic potential of these legumes, this book empowers researchers, breeders, and policymakers to unlock a new era of food and nutritional security. By leveraging the power of their genes, we can transform underutilized pulses into the nutritional heroes of tomorrow.

        Nachdenken über Christa T.

        Roman

        by Christa Wolf, Sonja Hilzinger

        Die Erzählerin in diesem Roman denkt über die widersprüchliche Persönlichkeit und den schwierigen Lebensweg ihrer jung gestorbenen Freundin Christa T. nach. Sensibel für die Nichtübereinstimmung, die Diskrepanz zwischen dem Faktischen und dem utopischen Anspruch des Sozialismus, suchte Christa T. nach Wegen, das, was ist, und das, was werden soll, zusammenzubringen – und machte dabei die schmerzhafte Erfahrung, daß der Riß der Zeit durch sie selbst geht. Aus den nachgelassenen Aufzeichnungen der Christa T., der eigenen Erinnerung und Erfindungen entwirft die Erzählerin ein vielschichtiges, beunruhigendes und faszinierendes Bild der Freundin: »… Daß die Zweifel verstummen und man sie sieht. Wann, wenn nicht jetzt?« Nachdenken über Christa T., erschienen 1968, gehört zu den modernen Klassikern der deutschen Literatur. Dieser Roman begründete Christa Wolfs Weltruhm.

        T wie Tessa - Plötzlich Geheimagentin (Band 1)

        by Frauke Scheunemann

        T for Tessa - Suddenly Secret Agent (Vol. 1) T for Tessa and top secret! The first volume of a new secret agent series combines coolness, a touch of romance, and a ton of humor as Tessa trips into her first detective case. Together with her Mongolian gerbil Hector, a talking sidekick, Tessa soon turns into a real top-notch agent. Of course, she still retains her chaotic nature, which makes for a lot of situation comedy.   Extremely shy and clumsy – it’s no wonder Tessa would rather be someone else. Like a member of Gimme Four, for example, the super famous girl group at her school. Then the unimaginable happens: Tessa passes the audition and makes it into the band! But it’s not exactly what she thought it would be. The rehearsals are disrupted by sketchy fans, wild chases at night, and ruthless mafiosi. And Tessa’s new band mates seem to have other hobbies besides music. Or how else would you explain the weapons in the instrument cases?

        The poetry of suicide

        Lessons in grief from the lives and deaths of poets

        by J. T. Welsch

        A profound exploration of the connection between poetry and suicide. 'Suicides have a special language,' Anne Sexton wrote in her 1964 poem 'Wanting to Die'. But is it a language we can learn to read? In The poetry of suicide, J. T. Welsch interweaves stories of poets who took their own lives with the long history of suicide in his own family, searching for a new way of understanding these difficult deaths. Beginning with Hamlet's 'To be or not to be?', he delves into the work of Dante, Sylvia Plath, Vladimir Mayakovsky and others, asking what it can teach us about suicide's messy reality. Suicide is more like poetry than we realise, Welsch argues. Both are filled with ambiguities, contradictions and unknowable intentions. Both demand and resist interpretation. Recovering the personal dimension often lost in our medicalised public discourse, Welsch finds practical ways of confronting suicide's poem-like difficulties.

        Fish Diseases and Disorders, Volume 1: Protozoan and Metazoan Infections

        by Edited by Patrick T K Woo

        Fish is the principal source of protein for people in many parts of the world, particularly in developing countries. While most fish are caught from nature, aquaculture or fish farming is now making a significant contribution to total fish production. More intensive conditions of aquaculture often result in a higher incidence of fish diseases and disorders. As in the first edition, the focus of this second edition is on protozoan and metazoan parasites that cause disease in fish. Significant changes to this second edition include the addition of 3 new chapters and 4 of the original chapters have new authors.
