        »Wir haben das Leben wieder vor uns«

        Briefwechsel 1938 bis 1949

        by Ernst Bloch, Wieland Herzfelde, Jürgen Jahn

        Den Gründer und Leiter des legendären Malik-Verlages hat Ernst Bloch wahrscheinlich erst im April 1936 persönlich kennengelernt: Wieland Herzfelde nimmt die aus Paris kommenden Blochs auf dem Prager Hauptbahnhof in Empfang und kümmert sich in rührender Weise um die Ankömmlinge und ihre Sorgen. Von diesem Augenblick an wächst zwischen den beiden Männern ein ebenso herzlicher wie freundschaftlicher Kontakt, der auch über die langen Jahre des Exils in den USA gepflegt wird, wohin Bloch 1938 und Herzfelde 1939 emigrieren müssen.Herzfelde hat die einzige Buchpublikation Blochs in den USA in dieser Zeit ermöglicht (Freiheit und Ordnung, 1946), aber die Korrespondenz reduziert sich nicht auf eine bloße Autor-Verleger-Beziehung: Sie ist ein beredtes Zeugnis gegenseitiger Solidarität in schwierigen Lagen. So erweist sich Herzfelde als kundiger Berater und zuverlässiger Vertrauter in Dingen des praktischen Lebens wie in Sachen Politik; und Bloch ist kluger Mentor und erster Kritiker bei der Entstehung der heiter-bitteren, nachdenklichen Geschichten des Buches Immergrün. Mit 201 Zeugnissen ist dieses Briefkonvolut fast lückenlos überliefert und gehört zu den umfangreichsten Korrespondenzen der amerikanischen Exiljahre Blochs: eine detailreiche und intime Quelle zu Lebens- und Werkgeschichte beider Briefpartner.

        Climate Change and Sustainable Agro-ecology in Global Drylands

        by Adel El-Beltagy, Rattan Lal, Kauser Abdulla Malik

        Drylands, a home for nearly 2.5 billion people, are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic climate change, and dryland area may expand to 50% of the Earth's surface by 2100. Climate change may aggravate the prevalence of undernutrition and malnutrition because of adverse effects on quantity and quality of food production in these regions. This book takes a holistic approach to sustainable management of drylands to make agriculture drought-resilient. Eminent scientists from around the world share their knowledge and experiences for adaptation and mitigation of the anthropogenic climate change through innovation in sustainable management of water, soil, crops, livestock, and fisheries. They anticipate that climate change will have major impacts on agro- ecosystems which requires continuous dynamic assessments, globally, regionally, and at the local level where the major action of adaptation would have to occur. The assessment will require international cooperation and national capacity-building. This book emphasizes approaches such as smart and precision agriculture, conservation agriculture, and new innovation and technology as tools for adaptation and mitigation. Several chapters are devoted to the human dimensions and policy considerations with emphasis on enhancing coping and adaptive capacity. This book addresses the picture after COP27, including loss and damage, governance and finance. This book: Examines sustainable management for drylands as a solution to environmental and food security issues. Uses a holistic approach to evaluate sustainable management of drylands. Explains how researchers are translating science into action for greening global drylands. This work will be valuable to students and researchers in agroecology, climate change science and dryland agriculture.

        Livestock Production and Climate Change

        by Edited by Pradeep K. Malik, Raghavendra Bhatta, Junichi Takahashi, Richard Kohn, Cadaba S Prasad.

        In a changing climate, livestock production is expected to exhibit dual roles of mitigation and adaptation in order to meet the challenge of food security. This book approaches the issues of livestock production and climate change through three sections: I. Livestock production, II. Climate change and, III. Enteric methane amelioration. Section I addresses issues of feed quality and availability, abiotic stress (heat and nutritional) and strategies for alleviation, livestock generated nitrogen and phosphorus pollution, and approaches for harnessing the complex gut microbial diversity. Section II discusses the effects of climate change on livestock diversity, farm animal reproduction, impact of meat production on climate change, and emphasising the role of indigenous livestock in climatic change to sustain production. Section III deals with the most recent approaches to amelioration of livestock methane such as breeding for low methane emissions, reductive acetogenesis, immunization/vaccine-based concepts and archaea phage therapy.

        Memory is a double-edged sword that is both a blessing and a curse.   In the halls of a hospital, echoes of human suffering and triumph ring loudest, imprinting indelible marks upon the minds of its workers. Some memories are sweet, a blissful balm to recall; others knives-sharp, wounding the soul.   Death and life, pain and healing, laughter and tears - however we choose to remember them, they remain forever unforgettable.   20 cases, 20 writers.   Regardless of whether we are healthcare workers or patients, our humanity ultimately remains the same.   Just one more case - that unforgettable one.

Taking a One Health approach to the issue, this book provides clear, accurate and comprehensive coverage of the zoonotic diseases of goats. Including information on aetiology, the epidemiology and transmission cycle, clinical symptoms, diagnosis, and prevention and control strategies, the book: - Helps readers quickly locate information about the disease's severity, mode of spread, treatment, and safety precautions; - Discusses the importance of educating animal owners about the public health implications of zoonotic diseases; - Reviews bacterial, viral, parasitic, rickettsial, and fungal diseases. An invaluable resource for veterinary practitioners and public health experts around the world, this book also provides a useful reference for researchers and students of animal disease and human health.

        Still Lives

        by Reshma Ruia

        The glow of my cigarette picks out a dark shape lying on the ground. I bend down to take a closer look. It’s a dead sparrow. I wondered if I had become that bird, disoriented and lost.’ Young, handsome and contemptuous of his father’s traditional ways, PK Malik leaves Bombay to start a new life in America. Stopping in Manchester to visit an old friend, he thinks he sees a business opportunity, and decides to stay on. Now fifty-five, PK has fallen out of love with life. His business is struggling and his wife Geeta is lonely, pining for the India she’s left behind. One day PK crosses the path of Esther, the wife of his business competitor, and they launch into an affair conducted in shabby hotel rooms, with the fear of discovery forever hanging in the air. Still Lives is a tightly woven, haunting work that pulls apart the threads of a family and plays with notions of identity. Shortlisted for the SI Leeds Literary Prize

        A Match Made in Heaven

        British Muslim Women Write About Love and Desire

        by Claire Chambers, Nafhesa Ali, Richard Phillips, Ayisha Malik, Shelina Janmohamed

        Star-studded and beautifully written, this collection of diverse stories about love and desire by South Asian-heritage British Muslim women authors, including Ayisha Malik and Shelina Janmohamed.  Although outsiders often expect Muslim women to be timid, conservative, or submissive, the reality is different. While some of these authors express a quiet piety and explore poignant situations, others use black humour and biting satire, or play with possibilities. Still others shade into the territory of a Muslim Fifty Shades of Grey, creating grey areas where the mainstream media sees only black and white. If grooming-gang scandals grab headlines, characters are more scandalized by suitors’ sloppy personal grooming. Finding the right crimson lipstick for a date or the perfect power outfit for meeting a cheating ex-husband are commoner preoccupations than the news.  Stylish but far from shallow, the stories also reflect on migration, racism, arranged marriage, gender differences, lesbian desire, bearding, and many other subjects.
