        Wovon Katzen träumen

        by Nicola Bayley, Nicola Bayley, Friederun Meyer-Jürshof

        Wovon träumen eigentlich Katzen? Von unerschöpflichen Milchtöpfen oder von unwiderstehlich riechendem Fisch? Von einem warmen Plätzchen auf der Couch? Nicola Bayley erschafft in ihren detailreich bebilderten Geschichten eine ganz eigene Traumwelt: Die fünf Kätzchen stellen sich vor, mit bunt bemaltem Pelz wie ein Papagei von Baum zu Baum zu fliegen, sie träumen vom Elefantenleben, vom Krebsgang im Sand und Schaukeln im Spinnennetz oder wie es wäre, als Eisbär durch den Schnee zu stapfen. Und am Ende? Ist das Plätzchen auf der Couch vielleicht doch am schönsten … In Nicola Bayleys zauberhaften Illustrationen werden Katzenträume lebendig – ein hinreißendes Bilderbuch zum Verschenken oder doch lieber Selberbehalten.

        The works of Richard Edwards

        Politics, poetry and performance in sixteenth century England

        by Paul Edmondson, Rosalind King, Martin White

        The heart of this book is its fully annotated, critical editions of the surviving work of Richard Edwards, one of the most influential poets and dramatists writing in England before Shakespeare. Ros King's extensive introduction, identifying the holes in the documentary evidence that might accommodate this important but now little known writer, rewrites the history of pre-Shakespearean drama, illustrates new approaches to sixteenth-century prosody and to the modernisation of dramatic poetry, and re-evaluates the public role of theatre and poetry during a particularly turbulent period in English history. While it will be essential reading for specialist scholars, it will also be of much wider interest. The introduction is highly accessible which makes it an appropriate text-book for students in a field where few textbooks are available. It will appeal to the current appetite among the reading public for biography, while the play, poems and songs are themselves very appealing. ;

        Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Crop Plants

        Breeding and Biotechnology

        by Bidhan Roy & Asit Kumar Basu

        Abiotic stresses have become an integral part of crop production. One or other persist either in soil, water or in atmosphere. The information in the areas of injury and tolerant mechanisms, variability for tolerance, breeding and biotechnology for improvement of crop plants against abiotic stresses are lying unorganized in different articles of journals and edited books. This information is presented in this book in organized way with up-to-date citations, which will provide comprehensive literatures of recent advances. More emphasis has been given to elaborate the injury and tolerance mechanisms, and development of improved genotypes against stress environments. This book also deals with the plants symptoms of particular abiotic stress, reclamation of soil and crop/cropping pattern to over come the effect of adverse condition(s). Each has been laid out with systematic approaches to develop abiotic stress tolerant genotypes using biotechnological tools. Use of molecular markers in stress tolerance and development of transgenic also have been detailed. Air pollution and climate change are the hot topic of the days. Thus, the effect of air pollution and climate change on crop plants have been detailed in the final three chapters of this book. Under abiotic stress, plant produces a large quantity of free radicals (oxidants), which have been elaborated in a separate ‘Oxidative Stress. This book has been divided into seven major parts- physical stress (salt), water stresses (drought and waterlogging), temperature stresses (heat and cold), metal toxicities (aluminium, iron, cadmium, lead, nickel, chromium, copper, zinc etc) and non-metal toxicities (boron and arsenic), oxidative stress, and finally atmospheric stresses (air pollution, radiation and climate change). This book will be of greater use for the students and researchers, particularly Plant Breeders and Biotechnologists as well as the Botanists, to understand the injury and tolerance mechanisms, and subsequently improvement of crop genotypes for abiotic stresses.

        The interpreters

        British internationalism and empire in southeastern Europe, 1870–1930

        by Georgios Giannakopoulos

        The book offers a new interpretation of the cultural and intellectual exchanges between Britain and southeastern Europe in an age of imperial transformation. It considers systematically the question of the management of ethnic difference in multinational imperial states as diverse as Britain, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire. It traces the regional experiences and impact of British scholars and public intellectuals steering through competing nationalisms and translating regional national questions to British and international audiences. The emphasis on past attempts to reconcile liberal democracy and nationalism with imperial rule continues to resonate in our day as intellectuals confront the challenges presented the rise of ethno-nationalist politics and shifting place of Britain in Europe.

        A comprehensive overview of both traditional and current knowledge on the health effects of plant based antioxidants, this book reviews medicinal and aromatic plants from around the world. It covers the different sources of antioxidants including essential oils, algae and marine microorganisms, as well as the role of abiotic and biotic stresses, endophytes, transgenic approaches in scavenging ROS and antioxidant plants used in different therapeutic systems.
