Dino Fino GmbH
The children's books from Dino Fino Publishing are a possibly unique feature worldwide. Two siblings of different ages offer stories and books for children from diapers to braces. All the picture books have been or will be filmed word for word. Children who want to learn to read can therefore read along with the movie word for word. We call that picture book cinema. The first book about “Schnecki” is available on our website as PDFs in numerous languages, and the films can also be viewed there. The Feodora + Gino stories are divided into two book series: Large-format picture books are for children aged 2 to 4. When the children are a bit older and can understand slightly more complex stories, they switch to our reading books about Feodora + Gino. And when they have grown out of that age, they can read the books about Fee's brother and his cheeky little T-Rex friend. The book series about Dino + Ricky is written for children aged 6 to 10. These books are a little more challenging, cheeky and exciting, Our stories can therefore accompany children throughout their childhood. One of our readers once said: “The books from Dino Fino Publishing are like eating chips: Once you start, you never want to stop”.

April 2019Das Leben des Leonardo da Vinci
Eine Biographie
by Boris Brauchitsch
Leonardo da Vinci gilt als die perfekte Verkörperung des uomo universale der Renaissance, als herausragender Repräsentant einer widersprüchlichen Epoche. Seine Faszination ist bis heute ungebrochen. Immer wieder wurden Versuche unternommen, sein Werk auf dem jeweils neuesten Stand der Reproduktionstechnik zu dokumentieren und in opulenten Folianten zu präsentieren. Dabei vertiefte und verstieg man sich allerdings in immer speziellere Detailfragen, in Zuschreibungen und Abschreibungen, in Umdeutungen und Mystifizierungen. Boris von Brauchitsch sichtet anlässlich des 500. Todestags Leonardos den aktuellen Stand der Forschung, filtert bemerkenswerte Thesen heraus und fasst dies alles in einer handlichen und überschaubaren Biografie zusammen, die ebenso prägnant wie differenziert dessen Werdegang und seine Bedeutung als Künstler und Forscher auf den Punkt bringt.

Children's & YAJune 2021Batalha das Velas
A Rota dos Espiões
by Manu & Deepak
This book is the first volume in a series of comic books about the spice trade and the spirit of navigation with all its vivid humor. The dominance of the Arabs in the spice trade and the envy of the Portuguese and Spaniards define the script and plot of the story, covering the maritime trade from 1440 to 1500. The story is inspired by the adventures and navigation techniques of Ahmed bin Majid, the great Arab navigator. Medieval history, mythology and archetypes are adapted to the modern world to facilitate the narration of the story and generate interest. He uses anachronisms and discourses of contemporary media to create comedy. In this volume, Prince Henry hires Chung Chung, the Chinese traveler to steal Majid's map, but Majid's cunning prevails. Majid also gives a lesson to the 41 pirates and their captain, Black Fin.

2020La rosa en el viento
by Sara Gallardo
"The rose that is destroyed in the wind lets its petals fly in a burned light," says this hallucinatory novel by Sara Gallardo, her latest publication, an extraordinary culmination for a dazzling, always precise, always unique, always captivating body of work. In La rosa en el viento, all the characters move, embarking on journeys that are sometimes physical and sometimes emotional, but in every case, they take them far from whom they were at the beginning. Olaf, a Swedish immigrant who has escaped a terrible episode in Italy, becomes a sheep breeder in Patagonia alongside Andrei, a Russian journalist who, in turn, seeks to win over an unconquerable woman, whose story reaches us in flashes, much like that of Oo, the Indian woman bought by Andrei, or Lina, who follows Andrei south, and Olga, who two generations earlier followed Alexis the revolutionary to an America that, for these characters, is both a land of promises and forgotten dreams that never truly materialize. Kaleidoscopic, polyphonic, synthetic, and modern, La rosa en el viento brings together all of Sara Gallardo's talent for storytelling and emotional impact, and it demands that we read it again.

April 2018Libretti
by Christoph Hein
Libretti, von prominenten Literaten verfasst, entstehen in der Regel als Auftragsarbeiten: ein Theater, ein Komponist, ein Regisseur beauftragen einen Schriftsteller, eine sogenannte »Vorlage« für eine Vertonung zu schreiben. Was sich, derart betrachtet, als zufälliges Zusammentreffen zweier Interessen gilt, gewinnt, bei näherer Betrachtung eine gewisse Notwendigkeit. Sie ergibt sich aus dem unbedingten Willen einer der beteiligten Seite, aus den unterschiedlichsten Gründen, sich auf eine schwierige, ungewohnte Kooperation einzulassen. Bei der Oper Noach von Sidney Corbett kam zu dieser Zusammenarbeit aufgrund einer bloßen Zeitungslektüre: 1993 las der Komponist das Inhaltsreferat einer Erzählung von Christoph Hein. »Das war im Jahr 1993. Zu dieser Zeit hatte ich nicht die geringste Absicht, eine Oper zu schreiben. Doch auf einmal hörte ich eine Stimme in mir, die mir sagte, diese Geschichte könne der Stoff für eine Oper sein. Ich schrieb Christoph Hein und fragte ihn, ob er sich vorstellen könnte, nach dieser Erzählung ein Opernlibretto zu schreiben, was er mit einem zögerliche jein beantwortete.« Aus einer (einmaligen) Gelegenheit entstand ein (einmaliges) Kunstwerk.

Zoology & animal sciencesMay 2021Nutrition and Feeding Organic Cattle
by Robert Blair
Organic cattle farming is on the increase, with consumer demand for organic milk and meat growing yearly. Beginning with an overview of the aims and principles behind organic cattle production, this book presents extensive information about how to feed cattle so that the milk and meat produced meet organic standards, and provides a comprehensive summary of ruminant digestive processes and nutrition. Since the publication of the first edition, global consumers have increasingly become concerned with the sustainability of meat production. Here, Robert Blair considers the interrelationships of sustainable practices and profitability of organic herds, reviewing how to improve forage production and quality, and minimizing the need for supplementary feeding using off-farm ingredients. This new edition also covers: - Managing a recurrent shortage of organic feed ingredients, due to increased GM feed crop cultivation worldwide - Current findings on appropriate breeds and grazing systems for forage-based organic production - Diet-related health issues in organic herds and the effects of organic production on meat and milk quality. Required reading for animal science researchers, advisory personnel that service the organic milk and beef industries and students interested in organic milk and meat production, this book is also a useful resource for organic farming associations, veterinarians, and feed and food industry personnel.

Agriculture & related industriesMarch 1998Cattle, Deforestation and Development in the Amazon
An Economic, Agronomic and Environmental Perspective
by Merle D Faminow
The large-scale destruction of tropical rain forests and the consequences of the loss of their rich, complex ecosystems is one of the most well-publicised, globally important environmental issues of the late twentieth century. The bulk of the remaining forest is to be found in the Amazon Basin, largely in Brazil and the rapid expansion of cattle ranching has been implicated as the main cause of irreversible deforestation in this part of South America over the last decade. This book brings together and critically assesses the economic, agronomic and environmental evidence for the benefits and costs of cattle ranching in the Amazon region. The ecology of the Amazon rain forest is described, along with methods of economic valuation of forests, agricultural systems in the Amazon, the history and underlying causes of its colonisation and the effects on land use, and the extent of deforestation. This leads on to a more detailed description of the cattle ranching systems employed in the Amazon, their economics and effects on the forest. In conclusion, the potential for sustainable cattle production in the Amazon is discussed. The product of considerable field research in Brazil by the author, this book presents a positive perspective on a highly controversial topic, in a uniquely systematic way and with far-reaching implications. It is an essential purchase for livestock economists, agronomists, foresters and environmentalists with an interest in South American and other tropical regions. It will also be a valuable source for advanced students of agronomy, animal science, agricultural economics and ecology.
