        Gelobtes Land, die dystopische Climate Fiction Trilogie: Mit CO2 verbindet man den Klimawandel, schmelzende Gletscher und Überflutungen. Mittlerweile ist der Klimawandel auch in der Literatur angekommen. „Climate Fiction“ oder „Cli-fi“ lautet das Stichwort, das zuletzt verstärkt in den Feuilletons auftauchte. Die deutsche Autorin Christine Heimannsberg präsentiert mit ihrer Debüt-Trilogie „Gelobtes Land“ eine ungewöhnliche, spannende Dystopie, die ökologische wie humanistische Themen geschickt im neuen Genre zusammenführt.

        Palm Desert

        Neal Careys fünfter Fall

        by Don Winslow, Conny Lösch

        Zum Abschluss seiner großartigen Neal-Carey-Reihe schickt Don Winslow seinen literaturbegeisterten Privatdetektiv auf einen Trip durch Nevada. An seiner Seite ein achtzigjähriger Comedian. Über ihm die sengende Sonne. Vor ihm endlose Wüste. Und ihm auf den Fersen ein kurioses Gangsterduo, das Neal und seinen Begleiter den Geiern zum Fraß vorwerfen will. Zum ersten Mal, seit Neal Carey für die »Bank« arbeitet, kommt es ihm nahezu gelegen, dass er einen neuen Auftrag erhält. So kann er wenigstens für eine Weile der Frage entgehen, ob er wirklich Vater werden will. Abgesehen davon ist der Auftrag ein Witz - im fast buchstäblichen Sinne: Neal soll den achtzigjährigen Comedian Natty Silver aus Las Vegas abholen und zurück in sein Seniorendomizil in Palm Desert bringen. Doch Natty entpuppt sich nicht nur als dauerwitzelnde Nervensäge, die die Reise zum Höllentrip macht, er hat außerdem so gar keine Lust, zurückgebracht zu werden. Nach und nach schwant Neal, warum das so ist - kurz bevor er lernen muss, dass man durchaus auch in der Wüste ertrinken kann ...

        This is a hands-on, practical guide to general and specific practices in oil palm nurseries to produce healthy, vigorous and uniform plants ready for field planting. There are two nursery stages, a pre-nursery and a main nursery. The pre-nursery receives both germinated seeds and tissue culture produced plantlets (ramets) which are planted in small pots in a relatively small area in which shade and humidity can be controlled. Once seedlings and ramets are established they are transferred to the main nursery, potted-on and grown on to produce field-ready plants.

        Field Trials in Oil Palm Breeding

        A Manual

        by Baihaqi Sitepu, Umi Setiawati, Fazrin Nur, Nur D Laksono, Yassier Anwar, Pujo Widodo, Brian P Forster, Dan Dwarko, Brian P Forster, Peter D. S. Caligari

        This is a hands-on, practical guide to describe field trials in oil palm. The location for field trials is key, as is land preparation. Other logistics include the germination of seeds from crossing programmes, planting in a nursery and well-grown seedlings for field planting. The trial design needs to be translated into field lay out. Field planting is a critical point requiring plant care, good labelling, field lining and a system of checks, and must be timed to the rainy season. Recording of trials starts 1 year after planting for crown disease assessment and continues for yield approximately 30 months after field planting. Growth measurements also begin 30 months after planting. Tests for oil yield and quality are carried out one year after yield recording.

        I See That

        by Art studio Agrafka

        This is an educational picture book about sight from the creative studio Agrafka. It is about both things we can see with our own eyes and the mysterious, invisible to the human eye. This book is also about microscopes and telescopes that help us see incredibly small or extremely distant things. It explains that for better eyesight some people need glasses, while those who can’t see at all need a special system and symbols. By reading this book, you will learn how birds and animals see the world, how artists create optical illusions, and about the many millions of hues the human eye can perceive. I See That won the 2018 Bologna Ragazzi Award, the most prestigious award in children’s literature, in the award’s non-fiction category. I See That has been awarded with a Bronze Medal Stiftung Buchkunst in 2019.

        Building reputations

        Architecture and the artisan, 1750–1830

        by Conor Lucey

        Taking a cue from revisionist scholarship on early modern vernacular architectures and their relationship to the classical canon, this book rehabilitates the reputations of a representative if misunderstood building typology - the eighteenth-century brick terraced house - and the artisan communities of bricklayers, carpenters and plasterers responsible for its design and construction. Opening with a cultural history of the building tradesman in terms of his reception within contemporary architectural discourse, chapters consider the design, decoration and marketing of the town house in the principal cities of the eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century British Atlantic world. The book is essential reading for students and scholars of the history of architectural design and interior decoration specifically, and of eighteenth-century society and culture generally.

        Remorse Test

        by Khalil Sweileh

        Remorse Test is Sweileh’s follow up to his novel Writing Love, which was the 2009 winner of The Mahfouz Medal for Literature. This semi-autobiographical novel, takes readers through the streets of Damascus and offers a first-hand look at life and loss during the Syrian civil war. The protagonist is a brilliant writer who is navigating a new, war-torn reality. While reminiscing about his past, he shows us what everyday life is like in Damascus—at once brutal and boring—and laments the missed opportunities and destruction the conflict has caused in his country. Drawing on his experience as a journalist, poet and novelist, author Khalil Sweileh writes about the psychological conflicts amid the shattered reality of place and society using language that is full of imagery. Remorse Test is an important addition to Syrian literature, both for its subject matter and unique use of narrative tools and vocabulary. (An extended English-language report on this book will be available soon.)
