August 2011Aufzeichnungen aus meiner Hütte
by Kamo no Chomei, Nicola Liscutin
Erdbeben, Tsunami, Taifune – immer wieder wird Japan von Naturgewalten überfallen, die in ihrer ungeheuerlichen zerstörerischen Macht ganze Landstriche, Ortschaften und ihre Einwohner vernichten. In ihrer Berichterstattung bemühen ausländische Journalisten gerne Kamo no Chomeis Worte von der Flüchtigkeit des menschlichen Lebens und der menschlichen Behausungen, um ihr Entsetzen, insbesondere aber einen „typisch japanischen” Stoizismus angesichts dieser Katastrophen zu beschreiben. Die Schreckensbilder, die uns in den vergangenen Wochen aus Japan erreichten, scheinen in der Tat den Chomei über achthundert Jahre früher skizzierten Naturkatastrophen verblüffend ähnlich. Die 'Aufzeichnungen aus meiner Hütte' sind damals wie heute gleichermaßen aktuell. Japan im zwölften Jahrhundert. Großbrände, Wirbelstürme und Erdbeben haben die Hauptstadt Kyoto zerstört, Seuchen breiten sich aus, die Leichen der Verhungerten türmen sich an den Straßenrändern. Eindrucksvoll schildert der Mönch Kamo no Chomei (1155-1216) das Inferno und die Naturkatastrophen, von denen die Hauptstadt heimgesucht wird, das Elend und die Not der Menschen werden lebendig – 'all diese Geschehnisse lehrten mich, die Mühsal, in dieser Welt zu leben, die Vergänglichkeit und Zerbrechlichkeit des menschlichen Körpers und der menschlichen Behausungen zu begreifen.' Nach den Erfahrungen von Elend, Tod und Vergänglichkeit zieht sich Kamo no Chomei im Alter von fünfzig Jahren von Hof und Amt zurück, um ein Schüler Buddhas zu werden. Er kehrt der Welt den Rücken und baut sich in den Bergen eine schlichte Klause, in der er die 'Aufzeichnungen aus meiner Hütte' beginnt. Er berichtet von seinem Einsiedlerleben in der Abgeschiedenheit, seine Gedanken kreisen um das Ideal des einfachen Lebens, um die Abkehr von den materiellen Werten und um die Frage, ob ihm in seiner kontemplativen Zurückgezogenheit die Überwindung der weltlichen Bindungen geglückt ist.

Fiction2022Where to, O Poem
by Ali Jaafar Al Allaq
This autobiographical work centers on literary creativity. Poet Ali Jaafar Alallaq recollects his academic and professional experiences, as well as their diverse ventures into poetic, literary, critical, and academic writing earlier in his life. The book covers the poet’s upbringing in a humble, impoverished village, his family’s subsequent move to Baghdad in the early 1950s, and his journey up until the present day. ///The biography details a plethora of human, cultural, and poetic events that impacted Alallaq’s perspective on events he witnessed, interacted with, or was involved in. These events range in intensity and scope, spanning from his childhood years in the countryside to navigating significant societal changes in Baghdad, and from his early explorations in writing and literary journalism to pursuing doctoral studies in the United Kingdom. He reflects on enduring two destructive wars that displaced Iraq’s people, leading to a life of exile and reliance on divine providence under the night sky. ///Beginning in 1991, Alallaq began a long period abroad that included six years of teaching at Sanaa University, followed by ten years of work at the United Arab Emirates University from 1997 to 2015. He produced a remarkable body of poetry and critical works during his tenure as a university instructor and his active involvement in cultural and poetic affairs in Sanaa and later in the UAE, which continues to this day. ///In this book, Alallaq takes on several roles, including narrator, contemplator, restorer, and descriptor, and expresses himself using elevated literary language. As a result, the work serves as an aesthetic testament to the purity of language as well as a cohesive account of the ups and downs of daily life. Despite living and working in a prosperous and stable environment for many years, he remains emotionally and imaginatively connected to the events and struggles affecting his country and the Arab world. He continues to document his aesthetic and patriotic testimony of current happenings, as clearly evidenced in his present autobiography.

Science & MathematicsSeptember 2020Butterfly Biology Systems
Connections and Interactions in Life History and Behaviour
by Roger L H Dennis, Ali Thompson
Butterflies, among key animals for assessing environmental changes have consequently also become prominent model organisms for the study of trade-offs in life history and behavioural traits. Examples include factors affecting the size of egg batches, fast or slow larval growth, waiting or searching for mates, migrating or staying put in the habitat, roosting alone or together in aggregations, and the development of different defence mechanisms. The book focusses on the factors and trade-offs leading to the development and evolution of distinct traits emerging in the life cycle of butterflies within their habitats. In this book the reader is taken systematically through research findings in each life history stage, on the links identified between different aspects of butterfly biology that have been discovered, and introduced to novel ideas emerging from taking an integrative view of butterfly life history and behaviour. The book is divided into four sections: A: Language and concepts of system's theory, B: Perspectives on butterfly biology, C: Butterfly life history - basic trade-offs in reproduction, development and survival, and D: Butterfly behaviour - interactive adjustments in the habitat. The first section deals with the study of relationships in biological systems. The second is an introduction to key aspects of butterfly biology, such as broad issues in taxonomy, the fossil record, variation in space-time, habitat and niche, and the butterfly body frame. The last two longer sections deal directly with the key puzzles in life history and behaviour. The book has been composed primarily for students and researchers in butterfly biology, but it should be of interest to all those who enjoy observing butterflies. For the researcher into butterfly biology it is supported by an extensive glossary and bibliography and, to encourage incentives for ideas, it is liberally illustrated with diagrams for exploring in greater depth the relationships in butterfly biology.

March 2011Wunder
Poetik und Politik des Staunens im 20. Jahrhundert
by Alexander C. T. Geppert, Till Kössler
Mehr Wunder als im 20. Jahrhundert gab es nie, denn überkommene Wundervorstellungen bestanden fort, während sich in Naturwissenschaften und Technik, Politik und Wirtschaft gänzlich neue Wunderwelten eröffneten. Als Erklärungen ungewöhnlicher Ereignisse und Erfahrungen reduzierten Wunderzuschreibungen Komplexität, entfalteten aber auch ihre ganz eigenen Dynamiken. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes analysieren den Umgang mit einer Vielzahl wunderhafter Begebenheiten der Zeitgeschichte und knüpfen aus unterschiedlichen disziplinären Perspektiven an Debatten über die Wiederverzauberung der Welt, die Grenzen menschlicher Erkenntnis und die Epistemologien des Übersinnlichen an. Entfaltet wird ein ungewöhnliches Panorama der unmittelbaren Vorgeschichte unserer wundersamen Gegenwart.

Biology, Ecology and Management
by Stephen W Adkins, Stephen W Adkins, Asad Shabbir, Asad Shabbir, Kunjithapatham Dhileepan, Muhammad H Ali, Sally Allan, Ali Ahsan Bajwa, Amalia Belgeri, Shane Campbell, Nimal Chandrasena, Michael Day, Naeem Khan, Ian A W Macdonald, Alec McClay, Andrew McConnachie, Rachel McFadyen, Adusumilli Narayana Rao, Boyang Shi, Bharat B. Shrestha, Lorraine Strathie, Sushil Kumar, Tamado Tana, Saichun Tang, Colette Terblanche, Nguyen Thi Lan Thi, Wayne D. Vogler, Arne Witt, Kunjithapatham Dhileepan
This book explores the most important aspects of the biology, ecology and management of what is one of the world's worst weeds. Originally regarded as a major weed in Australia and India, Parthenium weed is now widespread in around 48 countries in Africa, Asia and the South Pacific, and has the potential to spread to new countries in Africa, Asia and Europe. This book, which is a collective effort by 27 members of the International Parthenium Weed Network, addresses research and knowledge gaps for different countries. It examines the weed's mode of spread, its impact on agricultural production, its effect on the environment and on human health, and its management using biological control, as well as cultural, physical and chemical approaches. It also considers the coordination of the weed's management, possible uses for Parthenium weed, its present distribution and how this is impacted by climate change. This book includes: A detailed analysis of Parthenium weed biology. Experiences with Parthenium weed worldwide. An explanation of practical management options. This book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in universities and institutes, in the fields of plant ecology, botany, agriculture, conservation and restoration ecology.

Technology, Engineering & AgricultureDecember 2021Conservation Agriculture in Africa
Climate Smart Agricultural Development
by Saidi Mkomwa, Amir H Kassam
Tillage agriculture has led to wide-spread soil and ecosystem degradation globally, and more particularly in the developing regions. This is especially so in Africa where traditional agricultural practices have become unsustainable due to severe exploitation of natural resources with negative impacts on the environment. In addition, agriculture in Africa today faces major challenges including increased costs, climate change effects and a need for more sustainable production intensification methods. Conservation (no-tillage) agriculture has emerged as a major alternative sustainable agriculture practice in Africa and has spread to many African countries in the past decade as more development and research has enabled its extension and uptake. This landmark volume is based on the material presented at the Second Africa Congress on Conservation Agriculture which was held in Johannesburg, South Africa, 9-12 October 2018. The main theme of the Congress was: Making Climate Smart Agriculture Real in Africa with Conservation Agriculture: Supporting the Malabo Declaration and Agenda 2063. The Congress was aligned to mobilize stakeholders in all agriculture sectors to provide development support, impetus and direction to the vision and agenda for transforming African agriculture as set out by the Malabo Declaration and Agenda 2063. This book is aimed at all agricultural stakeholders in the public, private and civil sectors in Africa engaged in supporting the transformation of conventional tillage agriculture to Conservation Agriculture. This includes: researchers, academics, students, development stakeholders and policy makers as well as institutional libraries across the world.

The ArtsJanuary 2021There is no soundtrack
Rethinking art, media, and the audio-visual contract
by Ming-Yuen S. Ma
There is no soundtrack is a study of how sound and image produce meaning in contemporary experimental media art by artists ranging from Chantal Akerman to Nam June Paik to Tanya Tagaq. It contextualises these works and artists through key ideas in sound studies: voice, noise, listening, the soundscape and more. The book argues that experimental media art produces radical and new audio-visual relationships challenging the visually dominated discourses in art, media and the human sciences. In addition to directly addressing what Jonathan Sterne calls 'visual hegemony', it also explores the lack of diversity within sound studies by focusing on practitioners from transnational and diverse backgrounds. As such, it contributes to a growing interdisciplinary scholarship, building new, more complex and reverberating frameworks to collectively sonify the study of culture.
