        Das graue Heft

        by Josep Pla, Eberhard Geisler, J. M. Castellet, Eberhard Geisler

        Daß er Schriftsteller werden will, weiß dieser junge Mann sehr früh – schon mit zwanzig schreibt er für mehrere Zeitungen. Vor allem aber schreibt er für sich: Tagebuch. Kein strindbergsches Ringen mit sich selbst, kein Hadern mit Gott und der Welt – er blickt um sich, schaut zu und beschreibt. Er will »versuchen, das intellektuell Schwierigste auf dieser Welt zu bewerkstelligen: die Wirklichkeit am Schopfe packen und möglichst lebendig erfassen«. Er schreibt ohne jede Rhetorik, spürbar geprägt von der Lektüre Montaignes und Stendhals, ein früher Leser aber auch von Proust. Das graue Heft, in den Jahren 1918/19 niedergeschrieben, kompositorisch überarbeitet und fast fünfzig Jahre später veröffentlicht, zeigt einen Schriftsteller im Werden: spitze Beobachtungen, Reflexionen, kurze Erzählungen und Porträts. Es ist genau diese lebendige Art Prosa, die Josep Pla (1897 – 1981) neben Mercè Rodoreda zu dem bedeutendsten katalanischen Schriftsteller im 20. Jahrhundert machen wird. Er hat ein riesiges, vielfältiges Werk hinterlassen. Nur das Schreiben dicker Romane war seine Sache nicht; das kommt seinem Tagebuch sichtlich zugute.

        Tropical Tuber Starches

        Structural and Functional Characteristics

        by S N Moorthy, M S Sajeev, R P K Ambrose, R J Anish

        This book provides comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge relating to the morphological, structural, and functional characteristics of tuber starches, particularly in relation to their applications in food and industry. In recent years there has been significant progress and extensive research conducted on tropical root starches and especially on some of the lesser known tuber crop starches. There has also been a shift towards using biomaterials in place of synthetic materials in various applications. As researchers investigate the availability of natural products with similar properties, starch has been identified as a reliable alternative to these synthetic materials. Reflecting the growing body of research, Tropical Tuber Starches: - Explores the structure, properties and applications of tropical root and tuber starches (cassava, sweet potato, aroids, yams and other minor tuber crops) - Includes a chapter on the methodology for starch characterisation - Covers patents on starch-based products and the commercial potential of tropical root starches A valuable resource for researchers and students, plant breeders, and commercial producers working with, or considering working with, tropical tuber starches. Table of Contents 1: Introduction - Tropical Tuber Crops and Their Importance 2: Starch - General Considerations 3: Cassava 4: Sweet Potato 5: Aroids 6: Yams 7: Other Starches 8: Starch Modifications 9: Applications of Tuber Starches 10: Characterization and Analysis of Starches 11: Conclusions and Future Prospects

        by Rosa Ribas, Peter Schwaar

        Ein tragischer Todesfall am Frankfurter Flughafen kommt Cornelia Weber-Tejedor gerade recht.

        Títeres trashumantes (Transhumant puppets)

        by Mario Martín del Campo, Silvia Eugenia Castillero

        In the stretch of emptyness where no one dwells, changing beings are born as drops, as enigmas, as suspension points... They take a little bit of light and then steal shade from darkness. Thus these puppets grow strong, stealthy, and alive in the multiple sceneries of their theatre.

        8 BILLION REASONS POPULATION MATTERS

        The Defining Issue of the 21st Century

        by Valorie M. Allen

        The world is about to hit a population level of EIGHT BILLION people on one small planet. Through Allen’s analysis of the situation, the realization sets in that the fights by environmental and world aid groups are all for naught as every gain is soon overwhelmed by the pressures of more growth. Our planet's greatest threat is of too many people depleting the Earth's resources and contributing to climate change. Allen offers a thorough analysis of our environmental, social, political, and economic crises; then offers a treasure trove of solutions and success stories that we can all take to heart.
