        Zwischen Fakten und Fiktionen

        Heidelberger Poetikvorlesungen

        by Louis Begley, Christa Krüger

        Fact or fiction? Das ist, wie so oft, die Frage. Und sie war das Thema der Heidelberger Poetik-Dozentur, die Louis Begley 2006 innehatte. Daß sein erster Roman Lügen in Zeiten des Krieges, mit dem er auf Anhieb einem internationalen Publikum bekannt wurde, ein autobiographischer Roman sei (und sein jüngster Roman, Ehrensachen, seine Fortsetzung), würde der Autor so nicht stehenlassen. Wohl aber: daß er keinen seiner Romane je hätte schreiben können, ohne sich seiner eigenen Erfahrungen zu bedienen. Seine Überlegungen illustriert Begley anhand einer bisher unveröffentlichten Kurzgeschichte.

        A oficina do Cambeva (Cambeva's workshop)

        by Lido Loschi

        Cambeva's workshop is the first of four books of the collection "Presente de Vô" in partnership with Grupo Ponto de Partida. The book is a mixture of colours and elements that highlight the memory of the world, in which seekers of memories have the mission of bringing light and life to objects found in the travels of two characters: Zalém and Calunga. Cambeva is a restorer who, when the world lost its embrace, tried to reinvent it; he is the grandfather who mends dreams, forgotten things and lost emotions, to whom the seekers ask for help to fix something. In a magical universe, full of children, grandchildren, stories and memories of his lineage of restorers, when faced with this request for restoration, he makes room to bring back an emblematic figure who can no longer sing. A story about memories, care and affection...

        Adorno

        Eine Bildmonographie

        by Theodor W. Adorno Archiv, Henri Lonitz, Christoph Gödde, Gabriele Lieselotte Ewenz, Michael Schwarz

        Eine Vielzahl von bisher unpublizierten Texten, Bildern und Dokumenten eröffnet eine neue und unerwartete Perspektive auf das Leben und Werk Theodor W. Adornos. Von den frühen Zeugnissen aus der Kindheit, wie etwa einem bisher unbekannten Jugendtagebuch, das transkribiert und z.T. faksimiliert vorgelegt wird, über Dokumente aus seinen Studien- und Exiljahren bis hin zur Rückkehr nach Frankfurt und seiner Arbeit am Institut für Sozialforschung und an der Frankfurter Universität verfolgt der Band das Leben Adornos am Leitfaden von überaus anschaulichen, prägnanten, im besten Sinne »sprechenden« Zeugnissen. Neben einem weiteren Tagebuch aus dem Jahr 1949 finden sich zahlreiche, hier erstmals veröffentlichte Briefe, Notizen, Kompositionen, Photographien und Skizzen aus seinem Nachlaß.

        Biotechnology Revolution in Global Agriculture

        Invention, Innovation and Investment in the Canola Sector

        by Edited by Peter W B Phillips, George G Khachatourians

        Biotechnology processes are fundamentally changing the nature of the products being produced in the industry. Canola has been developed in Canada through such processes. It is a type of rapeseed that has an enhanced level of mono-unsaturated fatty acids, thus producing a healthier oil for human consumption. It is now being introduced to many other countries. This book reviews for the first time the global canola sector in order to identify fundamental trends resulting from the adoption of biotechnology. It examines the canola sector over an extended period, looking at:its local originsregional growth and international expansionanalyses of public policy affecting commercialisationestimates of the costs and benefits of changes.It is essential reading for government and industry researchers and students involved in the areas of agricultural economics, plant biotechnology and crop science.

        Temperature Adaptation in a Changing Climate

        Nature at Risk

        by Edited by Kenneth B Storey, Karen K Tanino.

        Temperature adaptation is a much neglected field in the minds of climate change researchers and policy makers. However, increasing fluctuations in temperature mean that the risk of cold and heat stress will pose an increasing threat to both wild and cultivated plants and animals, with frost injury expected to cause devastating damage to crops on an increasingly large scale. Thus, improving shared knowledge of the biological mechanisms of temperature adaptation in plants and animals will help prevent major losses of crops and genetic resources in the future.

        Phosphorus Loss from Soil to Water

        by Edited by H Tunney, P C Brookes, A E Johnston

        Phosphorus is an essential element for plant growth and its input has long been recognised as necessary to maintain profitable crop production. However, phosphorus inputs can also increase the biological activity of surface waters and this can lead to the destruction of such aquatic ecosystems. Advanced eutrophication of surface water leads to problems with its use for fisheries, recreation, industry and drinking, due to the increased growth of undesirable algae and aquatic weeds, and oxygen shortages caused by their death and decomposition. It is therefore important to have a good understanding of the causes and mode of phosphorus loss from soil to water, to enable the problems to be controlled and managed. This book has been developed from an international workshop held in Ireland in late 1995. It is the first comprehensive consideration of the topic, and many leading researchers in the area have contributed to it. It is essential reading for all soil scientists and freshwater biologists, as well as for environmentalists, ecologists and agriculturalists concerned with sustainable land management and pollution. The book is also recommended to fisheries managers, fertilizer manufacturers and biologists working for water utilities.

        Creating Experience Value in Tourism

        by Edited by Nina K Prebensen, Joseph S Chen, Muzaffer Uysal.

        As the field of tourism grows in maturity and scientific sophistication, it is important to fully understand the breadth and depth of vacation experience value. Current research delivers a multitude of approaches to value creation, represented here as a set of definitions, perspectives, and interpretations of how tourists, as customers, create value alone and with others. Providing an analytical and systematic clarification of the approaches, this book suggests an understanding of the differences, offering new and practical knowledge for tourism scholars and professionals to highlight the relevance of the concept to firms and organizations. Including a framework to distinguish among key resources or antecedents of customer value, this book also considers consumer behaviour and factors affecting value creation from physiological and psychological perspectives. Concluding with a summary of the areas for future research, it is a valuable resource for researchers of tourism, leisure and recreation.

        Schiffbruch

        Roman

        by Louis Begley, Christa Krüger

        Ein Mann steht in einer Bar, irgendwo in Amerika, hat einen Drink in der Hand - da stellt sich jemand zu ihm und beginnt, ungefragt und ungebeten, eine Geschichte zu erzählen, seine Geschichte, wie rasch klar wird: Norths Story vom Schiffbruch. North also heißt dieser andere, ein Schriftsteller aus New York. Über mangelnden Erfolg kann er sich nicht beklagen, überall in der Welt kursieren seine Bücher, und gerade arbeitet er an einem Drehbuch nach George Eliots Daniel Deronda. Doch scheint ihn etwas zu bedrücken, was er nun - gegenüber dem Fremden, dem er sich in jener Bar, Stück für Stück, öffnet - loswerden will. Mitten im alten Europa, in Paris, wo ein Film nach einem seiner Bücher gedreht wird, hat North eine Frau kennengelernt, Léa, ein überirdisch sinnliches Wesen, das er, weit älter als sie, vom ersten Augenblick an begehrt. Doch was zauberhaft beginnt, wird bald zu einer gespenstisch schönen »amour fou«, in der einer ohne den anderen nicht mehr kann und die beide aus ihren Bahnen zu werfen droht. North und seine junge Geliebt steuern auf eine Katastrophe zu, auf einen Schiffbruch, der entweder ihn oder sie vernichten wird. Louis Begley hat mit seinem neuen Roman ein Buch geschrieben, in dem es um die beglückende wie zerstörende Kraft der Leidenschaft geht. Und hat einen neuen Helden kreiert, John North, der gegen alle Konventionen aufbegehrt, einen verrückten Liebenden, der sich und seinen Gefühlen folgt, bis zum Ende.
