February 1979Malwine in der Badewanne
by Steven Kellogg, Steven Kellogg, Nele Maar, Paul Maar
In "Malwine in der Badewanne" entfaltet Steven Kellogg eine liebenswerte und humorvolle Geschichte über Ulli, einen Jungen, der jedes Jahr zu seinem Geburtstag von seinem Onkel Mac Allister aus Schottland ein besonderes Geschenk für seine Naturkunde-Sammlung erhält. Diesmal ist es eine Kaulquappe, die sich als außergewöhnlich herausstellt. Benannt als Malwine, beginnt die Kaulquappe nach ihrer Ankunft ein Käsebrötchen nach dem anderen zu verschlingen und wächst damit zu enormer Größe heran. Schnell wird klar, dass Malwine kein gewöhnlicher Frosch werden wird. Als sie zu groß für das Glas, das Spülbecken und schließlich auch für die Badewanne wird, stehen Ulli und seine Familie vor einem Rätsel: Was tun mit einer Kreatur, die ständig weiterwächst und offensichtlich kein Ende in Sicht ist? Die Situation spitzt sich zu, als die Eltern beschließen, dass Malwine in den Zoo muss. Doch Ulli, der an seiner außergewöhnlichen Freundin hängt, findet mit Hilfe einer cleveren Freundin eine Lösung. Malwine entpuppt sich als Heldin, indem sie einen alten Piratenschatz aus dem Hafen hebt und somit den Bau eines neuen Zuhauses für sich selbst finanziert. Kelloggs Geschichte ist nicht nur eine Erzählung über die ungewöhnliche Freundschaft zwischen einem Jungen und einer Kaulquappe, die zu einem riesigen, freundlichen Wesen heranwächst, sondern auch eine Lektion über Einfallsreichtum, Zusammenhalt und die Fähigkeit, für die, die uns am Herzen liegen, einzustehen.

January 2018Plant Biotechnology, Second Edition
by William G. Hopkins; Series Editor: William G. Hopkins
Over the past 25 years, terms like genetic modification, genetic engineering, recombinant DNA technology, and biotechnology have become commonplace in the news and in the public vocabulary. But biotechnology has in fact been practiced for thousands of years, with the aim of harnessing organisms for processing food and making useful products. Since the 1980s, however, recombinant DNA technology has given us the ability to modify organisms in the most fundamental way. The modification of plants by these new techniques has unleashed a storm of public controversy worldwide. Plant Biotechnology, Second Edition brings perspective to the discussion. Tracing the history of biotechnology, from its origins in antiquity through its foundations as a science in the work of Louis Pasteur to the birth of modern genetic engineering, this eBook describes traditional uses for plants, reveals how they are genetically engineered, and explains how new technology compares with conventional ways of generating new food plants. Readers will find that this accessible introduction dispels some of the myths surrounding genetic engineering, clearly presents the current impact and future potential of genetically modified plants, and provides a balanced look at the risks and benefits of biotechnology.

December 2016Lady Susan
Ein Roman in Briefen
by Jane Austen, Angelika Beck
Die attraktive Lady Susan sorgt für Aufregung in der Gesellschaft: Frisch verwitwet, weiß sie ihre Reize nur zu gut einzusetzen und kokettiert bereits wieder mit ihren Verehrern. Gerüchte über angebliche Affären machen die Runde. Um den Gerede zu entgehen zieht sie sich auf das Anwesen ihres Bruders zurück. Dort kann sie ihren Plan in Ruhe weiterverfolgen: einen neuen wohlhabenden Ehemann zu finden. Objekt ihrer Begierde ist der adrette Reginald DeCourcy, der jüngere Bruder ihrer Schwägerin. Es werden fleißig Intrigen gesponnen, um unliebsame Konkurrentinnen aus dem Feld zu schlagen. Doch als eines Tages ihre Tochter Frederica auftaucht, geraten Lady Susans Pläne in Gefahr. Hatte sie für die Tochter doch den reichen, recht einfältigen Sir James Martin auserwählt, was der allerdings überhaupt nicht passt … Lady Susan war Jane Austens erster Roman; er wurde erst posthum veröffentlicht. Nicht minder amüsant, doch viel scharfzüngiger als in ihren großen Romanen erzählt die beliebte Autorin von amourösen und gesellschaftlichen Verwicklungen.

AN ANTHOLOGY OF TRADITIONAL MALAY LITERATURE
by Muhammad Haji Salleh (Editor)
This anthology of traditional and classical works is a collection of poetry and fiction, legal digests, epistles and religious treatises, narrated, sung or written in the Malay language, in the Malay Archipelago. This language was and is widespread in the Malay Peninsula, Singapore, Sabah, Sarawak, Brunei, in Kalimantan, (Indonesian Borneo), including Pontianak, Ketapang, Sintang, Banjarmasin, Kutai and Samarinda. It was the lingua franca for most of Insular Southeast Asia and even in parts of Continental Southeast Asia, and to be found in Southern Thailand, in the provinces of Satun, Patani and Nakorn Sithammarat, and some islands in Southern Philippines. This time-span of traditional Malay literature covers a period from the earliest beginnings of oral works, through the inscriptions on stone and metal, and through further developments in oral storytelling, the advent of writing. In the decades of the 18th and 19th centuries a collision with western colonial powers and their cultures has resulted in a literature that reflected this traumatic confrontation and also, the so-called ‘modern’ elements. Along with this too we notice the rise of the new genres of the report, the travelogue, the autobiography and biography, which interestingly are prominent antecedents of modern literature.
