        Das Lächeln der Eidechse

        Roman

        by João Ubaldo Ribeiro, Karin Schweder-Schreiner

        João Ubaldo Ribeiro wurde 1941 auf der Insel Itaparica, Bahia, geboren und starb am 18. Juli 2014 in Rio de Janeiro. Er ist einer der angesehensten und bekanntesten Autoren Brasiliens. Mit 17 Jahren begann er als Reporter zu arbeiten, später wurde er Chefredakteur der Zeitung Jornal de Bahia. Er studierte Politische Wissenschaften. Er war als Journalist und Hochschuldozent in Rio de Janeiro und in den USA tätig und hat als Stipendiat in Lissabon und Berlin gelebt. Seit 1991 lebte er wieder in Rio. Seinen ersten Roman schrieb Ribeiro mit 21 Jahren, Setembro não tem sentido. International bekannt wurde er 1971 durch den Roman Sargento Getúlio (dt: Sargento Getúlio 1984). Der Roman wurde in zwölf Sprachen übersetzt und erfolgreich verfilmt. 1981 erschienen die Erzählungen Livro de histórias (dt. Der Heilige, der nicht an Gott glaubte 1992), und 1984 der Roman Viva o povo brasiliero (dt. Brasilien, Brasilien 1988). Dieser Roman wird mittlerweile zu den besten und erfolgreichsten Werken der brasilianischen Literatur gezählt. 1984 erhielt der Autor, dessen Werk mehrfach mit angesehenen Preisen ausgezeichnet wurden, auch einen Preis für sein erstes Kinderbuch, Vida e paixão de Pandonar, o cruel (dt. Leben und Leidenschaften von Pandonar, dem Grausamen JAHR). Während seines einjährigen Aufenthaltes in Berlin (DAAD-Stipendium 1990/91) verfasste Ribeiro für die Frankfurter Rundschau sehr vergnügliche Kolumnen über das Leben in der nun nicht mehr geteilten Stadt, die in Ein Brasilianer in Berlin zusammengefaßt sind. Karin von Schweder-Schreiner, geboren 1943 in Posen (Polen), studierte Portugiesisch und Französisch in Mainz und Lissabon. Seit 1978 arbeitet sie – nach einer Tätigkeit als Fremdsprachenkorrespondentin – als freie Übersetzerin und erhielt zahlreiche Übersetzerpreise. Nach längeren Aufenthalten in Brasilien, Schweden, Frankreich und Portugal lebt Karin von Schweder-Schreiner heute in Hamburg.

        Der zivilisatorische Prozeß
        July 1983

        Der zivilisatorische Prozeß

        Herausgegeben, übersetzt und mit einem Nachwort von Heinz Rudolf Sonntag

        by Darcy Ribeiro, Heinz Rudolf Sonntag, Heinz Rudolf Sonntag, Heinz Rudolf Sonntag

        Darcy Ribeiro geht von der Annahme aus, daß technologische Revolutionen und zivilisatorische Prozesse einen untrennbaren Zusammenhang bilden. Diese Prämisse ist nicht neu, und auch die Genauigkeit, mit der Ribeiro acht technologische Revolutionen, zwölf zivilisatorische Prozesse und achtzehn sich daraus entwickelnde soziokulturelle Formationen beschreibt, ist anderswo anzutreffen. Neu ist aber die Konsequenz, mit der aus diesem Versuch, ein neues Schema der Humanevolution zu entwickeln, die Folgerung gezogen wird, daß »entwickelte« und »unterentwickelte« Völker nicht verschiedene, naturhafte Phasen des gleichen Entwicklungsprozesses darstellen, sondern gemeinsam Bestandteile eines globalen Herrschaftssystems sind, das zu seiner Aufrechterhaltung eben dieser Ungleichzeitigkeit bedarf. Denn »die Unterentwicklung stellt … weder den Rückschritt gegenüber dem Fortschritt noch archaische Gesellschaften gegenüber modernen dar. Sie ist vielmehr eine notwendige Konsequenz der Innovation der Industriellen Revolution«.

        The Himalayan Soap Pod Tree (Gymnocladus assamicus)

        An Ecologically and Economically Important Tree on the Brink of Extinction

        by Baharul I Choudhury, Mohammed Latif Khan

        Extinction of species has alarmingly increased in recent decades due to anthropogenic activities, natural calamities and climate change. The life history, ecology and evolution of such species have often not been well studied. Gymnocladus assamicus is an archaic tree endemic to the Eastern Himalayan region of Northeast India. Locally known as 'Menangmanba-shi' by the Monpa tribe of Arunachal Pradesh (India), mature G. assamicus pods contain high saponin and are used traditionally for cleansing purposes and rituals. We rediscovered the species after more than 70 years from high altitude areas in the Himalayas through extensive field explorations and employing an ecological niche modeling approach. Our study revealed a very few actively reproducing mature G. assamicus trees surviving in unique microclimatic conditions. The species is classified as 'critically endangered' (IUCN red list). The book contains detailed information about G. assamicus and discusses its current distribution, population status, ethnobotanical uses and other ecological parameters. Major intrinsic and extrinsic factors that might be responsible for population decline are described. More importantly, we reported a very rare mating system known as 'androdioecy' in which male and hermaphrodite individuals co-exist in the natural population. Overall, the book highlights the story of a critically endangered tree species with a unique biological and socio-cultural importance and will serve as a case study and referencefor other similar species both locally and globally.

        4 saints in 3 acts

        A snapshot of the American avant-garde in the 1930s

        by Patricia Allmer, John Sears

        Four Saints in Three Acts by Gertrude Stein and Virgil Thomson was a major avant-garde phenomenon of the 1930s, an experimental opera that nonetheless achieved remarkable popular success. Photography was a key element of that success, but its complex roles in the construction, representation and dissemination of the opera have hitherto received little critical attention. The photographic recording of the all-African American cast in particular affords a unique insight into the complexities of Four Saints in relation to the Harlem Renaissance and the New York avant-gardes of the time. This book, published in collaboration with The Photographers' Gallery, London, presents a wide selection of photographs of the cast, performances, and other material - many images reproduced for the first time - alongside essays by an international range of scholars exploring different aspects of the opera, including dance, fashion, music, and avant-garde writing, as well as photography.

        by C. E. Beneš

        This book offers the first English translation of the Chronicle of the city of Genoa by the thirteenth-century Dominican Jacopo da Varagine, an author best known for his monumental book of saints' lives, the Golden legend.

        Graveyard Gothic

        by Eric Parisot, David McAllister, Xavier Aldana Reyes

        Graveyard Gothic is the first sustained consideration of the graveyard as a key Gothic locale. This volume examines various iterations of the Gothic graveyard (and other burial sites) from the eighteenth century to the twenty-first, as expressed in numerous forms of culture and media including poetry, fiction, TV, film and video games. The volume also extends its geographic scope beyond British traditions to accommodate multiple cultural perspectives, including those from the US, Mexico, Japan, Australia, India and Eastern Europe. The seventeen chapters from key international Gothic scholars engage a range of theoretical frameworks, including the historical, material, colonial, political and religious. With a critical introduction offering a platform for further scholarship and a coda mapping potential future critical and cultural developments, Graveyard Gothic is a landmark volume defining a new area of Gothic studies.

        Key Questions in Environmental Toxicology

        A Study and Revision Guide

        by J P F D'Mello

        Key Questions in Environmental Toxicology is designed as a self-study tool for undergraduate students. Questions review the origin, characterization and environmental distribution of major pollutants, followed by their absorption and metabolic disposition in living organisms. They address implications for the development of cancer, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary dysfunction and neurological conditions in relation to gaseous pollutants, particulates, persistent organic compounds and radioactive emissions, then cover the impact of pollutants on biodiversity, food safety, and water contamination. This book: - Covers toxicology from human morbidity, ecological impact and biodiversity perspectives, and emphasises the impact of diverse organic pollutants in worsening these interconnected phenomena, leading to wider environmental emergencies; - Provides a selection of fill-in-the-gap, multiple choice and short answer question types for students to vary their learning and enhance motivation; - Includes full answer rationales, allowing students to gain true insight into the subject. Providing support to programmes across environmental science, ecology and human health, and covering all the major biological toxins and pollutants as well as unintended consequences of actions designed to improve outcomes, this book may be used in conjunction with the companion volume Introduction to Environmental Toxicology.
