Mit Fotografien von Roger Melis
by Peter Huchel, Lutz Seiler, Roger Melis
Peter Huchel hat die Naturlandschaft Brandenburgs wie nur wenige andere zu einem Ort der Weltliteratur gemacht. Seine Gedichte verarbeiten sowohl konkrete historische als auch ganz existentielle Erfahrungen und weiten sie zu Fragestellungen von universeller Gültigkeit. Ihre Sprache ist jedoch alles andere als abstrakt. Huchels Bildwelt verdankt sich vielmehr der minutiösen Beobachtung von Natur und Mensch in seiner brandenburgischen Heimat, der er auch nach seiner Exilierung ein Leben lang verbunden blieb. Die markanten Schwarz-weiß-Aufnahmen von Roger Melis zeigen wichtige Facetten dieser Landschaft, in der auch der Fotograf seit seiner Kindheit zu Hause war. Als Dokumente lassen sie erahnen, aus welcher Naturerfahrung heraus Huchel seine weiträumigen Metaphern entwickelte. Zugleich bezeugen sie ein eigenes bildnerisches Erleben, das durch das Temperament und die Weltsicht des Bildkünstlers geprägt wurde. 50 Gedichte und 22 Fotografien vereinen sich zu einem Pas de deux zweier Temperamente und Kunstformen.

Non-graphic art formsMay 2012The 'do-it-yourself' artwork
Participation from Fluxus to New Media
by Edited by Anna Dezeuze
Viewers of contemporary art are often invited to involve themselves actively in artworks, by entering installations, touching objects, performing instructions or clicking on interactive websites. Why have artists sought to engage spectators in these new forms of participation? In what ways does active participation affect the viewer's experience and the status of the artwork? Spanning a range of practices including kinetic art, happenings, environments, performance, installations, relational and new media art from the 1950s to the present, this critical anthology sheds light on the history and specificity of artworks that only come to life when you - the viewer - are invited to 'do it yourself.' Rather than a specialist topic in the history of twentieth- and twenty-first century art, the 'do-it-yourself' artwork raises broader issues concerning the role of the viewer in art, the status of the artwork and the socio-political relations between art and its contexts.

Animal physiologyJune 1998Toxic Plants and Other Natural Toxicants
by Edited by Tam Garland, Alberto C Barr
Toxic plants and other natural toxicants have a variety of roles in the fields of human health, medical research and the production of safe food and also represent an economic problem in terms of animal health and crop production. Estimates of economic impact on livestock have ranged in the millions of dollars in countries such as Australia and the United States. This book brings together applied and fundamental research from botanists, chemists, biochemists, agricultural scientists, veterinarians and physicians and advice from regulatory bodies. It consists of more than 100 edited papers from the Fifth International Symposium on Poisonous Plants, held in Texas in May 1997. All aspects of poisonous plants, mycotoxicoses and herbal intoxications are covered. Their adverse effects are described, such as fatalities, reduced or failed reproduction, fetotoxicity, spontaneous abortions, deformities, reduced productivity and organ-specific toxicity. Methods of detection, isolation and identification of the chemical compounds responsible are included. The biochemistry of the plant-associated toxins and elucidation of their mechanism of action is investigated, including the protocols for management or eradication, immunization programs, behaviour modification, withholding periods for metabolic detoxification, regulatory advice concerning human usage of natural products and advice concerning toxin-residue in agricultural produce. The development of non-toxic strains of plants for use as fodder is also discussed. This book is essential reading for toxicologists concerned with animal and human health, food industry regulators and plant scientists.

Limnology (freshwater)November 2001Waste Composting for Urban and Peri-Urban Agriculture
Closing the Rural-Urban Nutrient Cycle in Sub-Saharan Africa
by Edited by Pay Drechsel, Dagmar Kunze
Rapid urbanization has created a major challenge with regard to waste management and environmental protection. However, the problem can be ameliorated by turning organic waste into compost for use as an agricultural fertilizer in peri-urban areas. This is especially significant in less developed countries, where food security is also a key issue. This book addresses these subjects and is based on papers presented at a workshop held in Ghana by the International Board for Soil Research and Management (IBSRAM, now part of the International Water Management Institute) and FAO. Special reference is given to Sub-Saharan Africa, with acknowledgement to experiences from other parts of the world. Contributing authors are from several European, as well as African, countries.
