Mayers kleines Buchregal
Hello and welcome to my presentation! I am Uwe Mayer, freelance Illustrator, author, designer and now also publisher of my children's picture book „DIE LAUFMASCHINE“, or in the English translation: “The Bicycling Baron". The book playfully tells the story of the invention of the bicycle from the very start. As a subject long overdue, it is original, based on fact and yet told in a humorous and original format with great illustrations throughout. DIE LAUFMASCHINE won the 1st prize from the State of Baden-Württemberg (Germany) for its original idea & concept in 2017. With further funding I was in the lucky position to not only create this important book project, but also publish it in 2019. Die Laufmaschine was nominated by the STIFTUNG BUCHKUNST for “Most Beautiful German Books" („Die Schönsten Deutschen Bücher“), Long List 2019. For this title I am offering foreign rights.

Western Corn Rootworm
Ecology and Management
by Edited by Stefan Vidal, Ulrich Kuhlmann, C R Edwards
Western Corn Rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, has been a major economic pest of maize in the Americas for many years. However, since the early 1990's it has become an increasing threat to crops in Europe and is expected to spread to all maize growing areas of the continent. This book provides a comprehensive review of current knowledge of the biology and ecology of this insect pest and how it might be managed in order to limit its damage as it spreads into new agroecological areas. Cultural, biotechnical, and biological control measures are addressed, as are ecological baseline data such as population dynamics, economic thresholds and aspects of its behaviour. The book also examines the potential of plant protection techniques currently used in North America to be applied in Europe.

Maize Kernel Development
by Brian A Larkins, Philip Becraft, Jim Birchler, Ljudmilla Borisjuk, Prem S. Chourey, Joanne Dannenhoffer, Matthew Evans, Sherry Flint-Garcia, José Gutiérrez-Marcos, Jeff Habben, Curt Hannah, Tracie Hennen-Bierwagen, Gregorio Hueros, Gwyneth Ingram, Shawn Kaeppler, Karen Koch, Brian A Larkins, Fangfang Ma, Don McCarty, Jo Messing, Alan Meyers, Keith Roesler, Hardy Rolletschek, Paolo Sabelli, Jeff Schussler, Bo Shen, Bill Sheridan, Rentao Song, Erik Vollbrecht, Thomas Widiez, Yongrui Wu, Ramin Yadegari, Junpeng Zhan
This is an authoritative book that acts as a guide to understanding maize kernel development. Written by a team of experts, it covers topics spanning pre- and post-fertilization events, embryo and endosperm development, grain filling and maturation, and factors influencing crop yield. It explores the significance of maize and other cereal grains, existing hypotheses and research, and important gaps in our knowledge and how we might fill them. This is a valuable resource for researchers of maize and other cereals, and anyone working on basic or applied science in the fields of seed development, plant genetics, and crop physiology.

Insect-resistant Maize
by Jürg Bürgi
Many farmers in sub-Saharan Africa suffer heavily from crop losses due to stem borer pests. Insecticides are often unaffordable; therefore, maize plants must be made resistant to pests. The 'Insect Resistant Maize for Africa' (IRMA) project in Kenya was aimed at developing new maize varieties both by conventional methods and by biotechnologically incorporating the ?-endotoxin produced by the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis. The author gives an impartial and chronological account of this exemplary project between 1999 and 2008, supplemented by discussions of agricultural development policy and descriptions of Kenyan smallholders and the project team. Taking critical and rational positions on the use of modern plant breeding techniques, biotechnology and development policy, this book is of interest to researchers and students, development agencies, NGOs and biotechnology companies.

Maize Technology Development and Transfer
A GIS Application for Research in Planning in Kenya
by Edited by R M Hassan
Scientists at the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) have developed powerful new tools to improve the effectiveness of their maize research, enabling the rapid development and successful transfer of maize technology in Kenya. The Kenya Maize Data Base Project (MDBP) was established in 1992 with the help of the Rockefeller Foundation, the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) and the US Agency for International Development. This has allowed scientists to use advanced technology to prioritize and evaluate maize research options more effectively, by taking into account such variables as climatic effects and the socioeconomic conditions of farmers. This book describes in detail the development and application of the MDBP, which uses spatial analysis to integrate data from Geographical Information Systems (GIS) with the results of biological experiments, socioeconomic statistics (including interviews with farmers) and agroclimatic information. This provides a powerful planning tool for targeting new technology to the needs of farmers. The book contains sections on survey methods, ex ante research evaluation and priority setting, and patterns of maize technology diffusion and the impact of research. It concludes with a synthesis of the MDBP results and assessment of future choices. This book is essential reading for maize agronomists, crop modellers, agricultural and development economists, extension workers and planners.

Little Women
by Louise May Alcott
Little Women "has been read as a romance or as a quest, or both. It has been read as a family drama that validates virtue over wealth", but also "as a means of escaping that life by women who knew its gender constraints only too well".[6]:34 According to Sarah Elbert, Alcott created a new form of literature, one that took elements from Romantic children's fiction and combined it with others from sentimental novels, resulting in a totally new format. Elbert argued that within Little Women can be found the first vision of the "All-American girl" and that her multiple aspects are embodied in the differing March sisters.

Mais pourquoi moi ?!
by Noga Marron
Mais pourquoi moi ?! par Noga Marron Concernant l'édition originale en hébreu de Mais pourquoi moi ?!, qui a déjà été publiée avec six réimpressions, il a été positivement établi qu'elle aide vraiment les jeunes lecteurs à rehausser leur propre estime en soulignant que personne n'est parfait et que « l'herbe n'est pas forcement plus verte de l'autre côté de la barrière ». De nombreux éducateurs utilisent ce livre dans des ateliers et, au moyen de lectures dirigées, aident leurs élèves à surmonter leurs problèmes personnels. Le livre contient vingt scénarios, consacrés chacun à un enfant différent. Dans ces scénarios, l'enfant, en dépit de ses avantages personnels, est préoccupé par une certain difficulté personnelle et il, ou elle, envie l'enfant de la scène suivante. Dans le dernier scénario, on rencontre un enfant qui voudrait bien être l'enfant du premier scénario… Avec son texte en rimes et ses amusantes illustrations, le livre réussit à affronter gaiement le sujet sérieux qu'il attaque. Depuis 1987, Noga Marron, née à Jérusalem, a publié un total de 32 livres, surtout adressés aux écoliers et aux jeunes adultes. Elle a travaillé pendant de nombreuses années dans l'enseignement, professeur puis directrice et membre du Comité Directeur de l'Association des Enseignants en Israël. Mme Marron a une licence en littérature et éducation de l'Université Bar Ilan.

Überwintern. Wenn das Leben innehält
Der Bestseller über die heilsame Kraft des Innehaltens
by Katherine May
Es gibt Zeiten, da liegt unser Leben „auf Eis“ und wir fühlen uns wie aus der Welt gefallen. Durch eine Krankheit oder den Verlust eines geliebten Menschen, durch Arbeitslosigkeit. Auch ein freudiges Ereignis wie die Geburt eines Kindes kann uns aus dem Gleichgewicht bringen. Katherine May nennt diese Zeiten des Rückzugs, die ihr selbst nur allzu vertraut sind, »Winter«. Und wie auch in der winterlichen Kälte alles ruht, um Kraft für den Frühling zu sammeln, so gibt May sich dem „Überwintern“ hin. Sie reist nach Tromsø zu den Polarlichtern, schwimmt im eisigen Meer, schwitzt in der Sauna und feiert das Winterfest Santa Lucia. Sie besinnt sich auf das Wesentliche und gibt sich der Ruhe und inneren Einkehr hin – bis sie sich wieder bereit fühlt, mit neuer Energie weiterzumachen. Wir können uns unsere Winter nicht aussuchen. Aber wie wir überwintern, schon. Ein wunderbares Buch über die heilsame Kraft des Innehaltens.
