Children's & YAOikoá
by Felipe Valério
The name of this book is Oikoá, which means life in the language of the Guarani Mbya people. This name was chosen because the indigenous peoples have been the guardians of life on planet Earth: it is in their territories that there are more types of trees and plants, animals, fish, birds, insects, and where the rivers and forests are best preserved.

FictionFREE PERIOD
by Valerio Varesi
Valerio Varesi gives further proof of his narrative talents with an unconventional offbeat noir«I am beginning to suspect that even scientists try to assess the universe based on human experience. All our theories are just a load of crap to cover up the fact that we know fuck all.» teacher Pampaluga, from L’ora buca We live in furious balance on the surface of an arancino… Thus begins the tale of our narrator, a perplexed science teacher whose rationality has begun to waver under reality’s blows. His counterpart in a world of screaming teenagers, epicurean janitors and impossible dreams, is Mr. Pampaluga, much more cynical teacher with a penchant for the pleasures of the flesh. But it will fall to our protagonist to encounter a mysterious agency. To take on the identity of the dead husband of an inconsolable widow. And to try and find a way out of a more and more equivocal situation. Relying on his intelligence, of course, but also on skills of quite a different nature.• For over twenty years Valerio Varesi has written thrillers set in Northern Italy and historical noirs. With the keen insights and ironic detachment of a true reporter he has created memorable characters and stories exploring the human condition. And his loyal readers have followed him wherever he decided to take them.• Varesi clearly has a “taste for symbolism” contributing to the mysterious and distinctively Italian quality of the novel. - TIMES LITERARYSUPPLEMENT• Un fantastique écrivain, dont la poésie, la finesse et la truculence tout italienne rivalisent avec un art de l’intrigue habilement emballée - LE FIGARO

November 2022The Bob Dylan Albums - 2nd Edition
by Anthony Varesi
Bob Dylan has created a body of work unparalleled in popular music. As a songwriter and as a singer, Dylan expanded the boundaries for song. In this substantially revised and updated second edition of The Bob Dylan Albums, Anthony Varesi analyzes the massive Dylan canon through a detailed discussion of each of the artist’s officially released albums. The book follows Dylan’s career chronologically from 1962’s Bob Dylan through to 2021’s Bootleg Series release Springtime in New York. All of Dylan’s studio albums, live albums, collections and archival releases are examined in the text and in the detailed, annotated, cross-referenced discography, as are Dylan’s notable soundtrack contributions, side projects and benefit concert appearances. The Bob Dylan Albums, 2nd Edition also discusses Dylan’s other writings, such as Chronicles and his Nobel Prize lecture, and reviews the films Dylan has appeared in or been the subject of. The book contains frank analyses of the more controversial aspects of Dylan’s career, including songs Dylan wrote about George Jackson, Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, Joey Gallo and Lenny Bruce, the use of Dylan’s music in advertisements, and Dylan’s 2011 trip to China. The book looks at recurring themes in Dylan’s songs, the influence of other artists on Dylan’s music, and the ongoing relevance of Dylan’s work. In the process, The Bob Dylan Albums, 2nd Edition unearths new meaning in both Dylan’s most famous works and in his songs and albums that have received less attention.

In questo primo volume si racconta di Paolo e Irene, due degli otto protagonisti di questo viaggio che sta a simboleggiare la prima delle tre fasi: la tesi.In filosofia la tesi è un’ipotesi, un’idea, il punto di partenza al quale seguono antitesi (una verifica necessaria a confutarla o confermarla) e sintesi (la conclusione che dovrebbe corrispondere alla verità).Arricchito dalla prefazione dello storico dell'arte, prof.

Agriculture & farmingJune 2009Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Crop Plants
Breeding and Biotechnology
by Bidhan Roy & Asit Kumar Basu
Abiotic stresses have become an integral part of crop production. One or other persist either in soil, water or in atmosphere. The information in the areas of injury and tolerant mechanisms, variability for tolerance, breeding and biotechnology for improvement of crop plants against abiotic stresses are lying unorganized in different articles of journals and edited books. This information is presented in this book in organized way with up-to-date citations, which will provide comprehensive literatures of recent advances. More emphasis has been given to elaborate the injury and tolerance mechanisms, and development of improved genotypes against stress environments. This book also deals with the plants symptoms of particular abiotic stress, reclamation of soil and crop/cropping pattern to over come the effect of adverse condition(s). Each has been laid out with systematic approaches to develop abiotic stress tolerant genotypes using biotechnological tools. Use of molecular markers in stress tolerance and development of transgenic also have been detailed. Air pollution and climate change are the hot topic of the days. Thus, the effect of air pollution and climate change on crop plants have been detailed in the final three chapters of this book. Under abiotic stress, plant produces a large quantity of free radicals (oxidants), which have been elaborated in a separate ‘Oxidative Stress. This book has been divided into seven major parts- physical stress (salt), water stresses (drought and waterlogging), temperature stresses (heat and cold), metal toxicities (aluminium, iron, cadmium, lead, nickel, chromium, copper, zinc etc) and non-metal toxicities (boron and arsenic), oxidative stress, and finally atmospheric stresses (air pollution, radiation and climate change). This book will be of greater use for the students and researchers, particularly Plant Breeders and Biotechnologists as well as the Botanists, to understand the injury and tolerance mechanisms, and subsequently improvement of crop genotypes for abiotic stresses.
