Literature & Literary StudiesAugust 2016EcoGothic
by Elisabeth Bronfen, William Hughes, Andrew Smith, Steven Bruhm, Ken Gelder, Jerrold Hogle, Avril Horner, William Hughes
This book will provide the first study of how the Gothic engages with ecocritical ideas. Ecocriticism has frequently explored images of environmental catastrophe, the wilderness, the idea of home, constructions of 'nature', and images of the post-apocalypse - images which are also central to a certain type of Gothic literature. By exploring the relationship between the ecocritical aspects of the Gothic and the Gothic elements of the ecocritical, this book provides a new way of looking at both the Gothic and ecocriticism. Writers discussed include Ann Radcliffe, Mary Shelley, Ambrose Bierce, Algernon Blackwood, Margaret Atwood, Cormac McCarthy, Dan Simmons and Rana Dasgupta. The volume thus explores writing and film across various national contexts including Britain, America and Canada, as well as giving due consideration to how such issues might be discussed within a global context.

Ein Zwiegespräch. Aus dem brasilianischen Portugiesisch von Sarita Brandt
by Clarice Lispector, Sarita Brandt
Clarice Lispector wurde 1925 in der Ukraine als Tochter jüdischer Eltern geboren, die bald nach Brasilien emigrierten. Sie wuchs in Recife, im armen Nordosten des Landes auf, zog aber später nach Rio de Janeiro, wo sie Schule und Jurastudium absolvierte. 1944 veröffentlichte sie -19jährig - ihren ersten Roman Perto do Coração Selvagem (dt. Nahe dem wilden Herzen) und löste eine kleine Sensation aus, da sie sich in ihrem Schreiben von der vorherrschenden literarischen Tendenz des "regionalismo" abwandte, der es sich zum Ziel gemacht hatte, die soziale Realität des Landes so genau als möglich festzuhalten. Clarice Lispector eröffnete, geprägt sowohl vom Existenzialismus als auch von Virginia Woolf, eine in Brasilien vollkommen neue literarische Strömung - von der Kritik hoch gelobt -, die radikal subjektiv auf die Erforschung innerer Wirklichkeit abzielt. Im selben Jahr heiratete sie einen brasilianischen Diplomaten, mit dem sie 1945-49 in Italien und der Schweiz und 1952-59 in den USA lebte. Nach der Scheidung ließ sie sich mit ihren zwei Söhnen in Rio nieder und war als Journalistin und Übersetzerin tätig. In ihren weiteren Romanen, wie A Cidade Sitiada (dt. Von Traum zu Traum) und auch A paixão segundo G.H (dt. Die Passion nach G.H.), erforscht sie mit immer ausgefeilteren erzähltechnischen und stilistischen Mitteln das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Realität und seelischer Erfahrung. Auch ihre Erzählungen, veröffentlicht in insgesamt drei Bänden, kreisen immer wieder um die bestürzende Realität, die hinter der Fassade des Familienalltags lauert. In ihrem letzten zu Lebzeiten veröffentlichten Kurzroman, A Hora de Estrela (dt. Die Sternstunde), setzt sie sich mit dem Verhältnis von Wirklichkeit und Fiktion im schöpferischen Prozeß auseinander und kritisiert schriftstellerische Allmachtsphantasien - ihr poetologisches Vermächtnis. Clarice Lispector starb 1977 in Rio de Janeiro. Clarice Lispector, "grande dame" der dichterischen Prosa in Brasilien. Neue Zürcher Zeitung

Business, Economics & LawSeptember 2016Forest Hydrology
Processes, Management and Assessment
by Devendra Amatya, Thomas Williams, Leon Bren, Carmen de Jong
Forests cover approximately 26% of the world's land surface area and represent a distinct biotic community. They interact with water and soil in a variety of ways, providing canopy surfaces which trap precipitation and allow evaporation back into the atmosphere, thus regulating how much water reaches the forest floor as through fall, as well as pull water from the soil for transpiration. The discipline "forest hydrology" has been developed throughout the 20th century. During that time human intervention in natural landscapes has increased, and land use and management practices have intensified. This book: - Presents cutting edge thinking and assessments in forest hydrology across all latitudes and terrains, including state-of-the-art modelling techniques and methodologies - Describes the latest challenges facing forest hydrology, such as increased occurrence of disturbance, due to extreme floods, drought, disease, and fire, potentially caused by climate change - Is written by an internationally renowned team of scientists, engineers, and managers to give a well-rounded review of the subject The book will be useful for graduate students, professionals, land managers, practitioners, and researchers with a good understanding of the basic principles of hydrology and hydrologic processes. ; This book presents cutting edge thinking and assessments in forest hydrology across all latitudes and terrains, including state-of-the-art modelling techniques and methodologies. It describes challenges facing forest hydrology such as extreme floods, drought, disease, and fire, and is written by an internationally renowned team. ; 1: An Introduction to Forest Hydrology 2: Forest Runoff Processes 3: Forest Evapotranspiration: Measurement and Modelling at Multiple Scales 4: Forest Hydrology of Mountainous and Snow Dominated Watersheds 5: European Perspectives on Forest Hydrology 6: Tropical Forest Hydrology 7: Hydrology of Flooded and Wetland Forests 8: Forest Drainage 9: Hydrological Modeling in Forested Systems 10: Geospatial Technology Applications in Forest Hydrology 11: Forests Cover Changes and Hydrology in Large Watersheds 12: Hydrologic Effects of Forest Management 13: Hydrology of Forests after Wildfire 14: Hydrologic Processes of Reference Watersheds in Experimental Forests, USA 15: Applications of Forest Hydrologic Science to Watershed Management in the 21st Century 16: Hydrology of Taiga Forests in High Northern Latitudes 17: Future Directions in Forest Hydrology

The demand for plant-based industrial raw materials has increased as well as research into expanding the utility of plants for current and future uses. Plants are renewable, have limited or positive environmental impact and have the potential to yield a wide range of products in contrast to petroleum-based materials. Plants can be used in a variety of different industries and products including bioenergy, industrial oil and starch, fibre and dye, rubber and related compounds, insecticide and land rehabilitation. This title offers a comprehensive coverage of each of these uses. Chapters discuss the identification of plant species with desired traits, their cultivation to obtain the needed raw materials, methods utilized in producing different finished products, current and future research in crop production and processing and the present state and future prospects for the industry. Providing the first systematic review of industrial crops and their uses, this book will be an important resource for students and researchers of crop science and agricultural policy makers.
