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 ...

The coconut palm (Cocos nucifera L.) is one of the world's most important palms, and contributes significantly to the income and livelihood of many people in tropical countries. Widely referred to as the 'tree of life', coconut has been used as a source of food, drink, oil, medicine, shelter and wood for around 500 years. Every part of the coconut palm can be utilized. The demand for coconut fruit and its products has increased recently as people have become aware of its nutritional and health benefits, especially those of coconut water and virgin coconut oil. This book covers all aspects of coconut including origins and diversity; ecophysiology; production in a changing climate; pests and diseases; harvest and postharvest management; breeding and genetics; as well as the current and future status of coconut as an economic crop. This book is a key resource for researchers and students in horticulture, plant science and agriculture, and those interested in the production of tropical crops, and practitioners in the coconut industry.

»Eine Rose ist unendlich viel mehr als nur eine errötende Entschuldigung für ihre Dornen«. Die Rose, vielleicht die schönste der Blumen, ist Sinnbild für Vollkommenheit, Vergänglichkeit, Geheimnis, irdische und göttliche Liebe, für Lebensfreude, Anmut und ewige Weisheit. Martina Hochheimer stellt mit ihren eindrucksvollen Fotografien eine faszinierende Auswahl an Rosenbildern vor. Klassische und moderne Texte von Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Theodor Storm, Rainer Maria Rilke, Hermann Hesse, Hilde Domin und Ingeborg Bachmann korrespondieren mit den Bildern und setzen poetische Akzente.

Oil palm is the world's most important oil crop and crossing is used extensively in the production of commercial seed, breeding and genetic studies. This book illustrates crossing techniques to maximise success and safeguard purity, enabling the production of high quality seeds to grow-on as planting material and in breeding superior cultivars. Presenting sound practices based on scientific innovation in plant breeding, this guide provides techniques integrated with expertise and application of sustainable aspects of agronomy and crop protection, alongside information and imaging technology. Promoting green, eco-friendly agriculture, this book covers: biology and genetics, germplasm, target traits and commercial crossing; health and safety considerations in the field and laboratory; pollen collection and storage, pollen viability testing, and pollination; isolation of the female inflorescence; and commercial tenera production. Based on experience and protocols, this is an invaluable manual for students and researchers in agriculture, plant breeders, growers and end users interested in the practicalities of oil palm crossing for breeding and commercial seed production

Martina Hochheimer hat Blumen des Sommers fotografiert, Rosen und Malven, Hyazinthen und Anemonen, Stern- und Sonnenblumen. Sie alle entfalten in diesen Bildern ihre eigene Aura und lassen den Betrachter eintauchen in die Atmosphäre jener Jahreszeit, in der sich Heiterkeit und Zuversicht, Geborgenheit und Offenheit verbinden. Klassische und moderne Gedichte, von Clemens Brentano und Heinrich Heine bis Rainer Maria Rilke, Georg Trakl und Peter Huchel, rufen den Farbenglanz und Blumenduft herauf, erinnern an die Sommer der Kindheit und beschwören die Poesie der blühenden Gärten. »Einst waren wir alle im glücklichen Garten, / ich weiß nicht mehr, vor welchem Haus, / wo wir die kindliche Stimme sparten / für Gras und Amsel, Kamille und Strauß.« Peter Huchel

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.

This is a hand-on practical guide to the use of Trichoderma as a biocontrol for Ganoderma disease in oil palm plantations. The manual provides background information on the benefits of Trichoderma fungi as well as on Ganoderma (Basal Stem Rot), the most devastating disease of oil palm in South East Asia. The disease is caused by the soil-borne fungus, Ganoderma spp and is also found in West Africa and South America.

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.

This is a hands-on, practical guide to describe physical bunch and oil analysis of oil palm bunches. Bunch and oil analysis laboratories are set up at oil mills to assess production, yield potential of plantations and oil extraction rates relative to targets. The higher the oil yields the planting material produces, the less land that is needed to achieve a specific level of production, hence helping in the sustainability of the crop.

Bahnhofsviertel, Straßenstrich, Sperrbezirk – hören wir das Wort »Prostitution«, denken wir auch in topographischen Kategorien. Das Feld ist insofern ein vorzüglicher Forschungsgegenstand der Raumsoziologie. Martina Löw und Renate Ruhne haben über Jahre hinweg das Frankfurter Bahnhofsviertel untersucht. In Interviews mit Prostituierten und Freiern, mit Anwohnern und Sozialarbeitern haben sie danach gefragt, welche Emotionen mit bestimmten Räumen verbunden sind und über welche subtilen sozialen Mechanismen das Gewerbe immer wieder neu als Feld des »Anderen«, des »Anormalen« konstruiert wird.
