Cara Nicoletti liebt zwei Dinge im Leben: Lesen und Kochen. Warum also nicht beides vereinen? Denn Nicoletti ist nicht nur Konditorin, Köchin und die mit Sicherheit charmanteste Metzgerin in ganz Brooklyn, sondern auch ein ausgesprochener Bücherwurm. Wer könnte also besser die beiden schönsten Dinge im Leben zusammenbringen als diese hungrige Leserin? Angefangen hat alles in der Fleischerei des Großvaters in Boston, Massachusetts, in der Cara bereits als Mädchen stapelweise Bücher verschlang. Später zog es sie nach New York, wo sie zwischen dem Bücherwälzen fürs Literaturstudium und der Arbeit in Brooklyns bekanntester Metzgerei schließlich auf die Idee kam, aus ihrer Doppelleidenschaft eine einzige zu machen – indem sie die kulinarischen Passagen ihrer Lieblingsbücher nacherzählte und die besten Rezepte kurzerhand nachkochte. Von Pippi Langstrumpfs »Buttermilchpfannkuchen« über das »perfekt gekochte Ei« von Jane Austen bis hin zu Jonathan Franzens »Schokoladen-Cupcakes mit Pfefferminz-Buttercreme« – Nicoletti lässt uns nicht nur das Wasser im Munde zusammenlaufen, sondern verführt uns auch zum Nachlesen und Nachkochen. Ein perfektes Geschenk für Lesewütige und ein Buch, das rundum glücklich macht.

Key Questions in Environmental Toxicology is designed as a self-study tool for undergraduate students. Questions review the origin, characterization and environmental distribution of major pollutants, followed by their absorption and metabolic disposition in living organisms. They address implications for the development of cancer, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary dysfunction and neurological conditions in relation to gaseous pollutants, particulates, persistent organic compounds and radioactive emissions, then cover the impact of pollutants on biodiversity, food safety, and water contamination. This book: - Covers toxicology from human morbidity, ecological impact and biodiversity perspectives, and emphasises the impact of diverse organic pollutants in worsening these interconnected phenomena, leading to wider environmental emergencies; - Provides a selection of fill-in-the-gap, multiple choice and short answer question types for students to vary their learning and enhance motivation; - Includes full answer rationales, allowing students to gain true insight into the subject. Providing support to programmes across environmental science, ecology and human health, and covering all the major biological toxins and pollutants as well as unintended consequences of actions designed to improve outcomes, this book may be used in conjunction with the companion volume Introduction to Environmental Toxicology.

A hospital somewhere in remote South Sudan. A place where peoples’ lives are marked by extreme poverty, war, violence, the climate crisis and the daily struggle for survival. How does it feel to be human under these conditions? What moves someone to voluntarily go where nobody would want to? Andreas Lutz takes you on a journey to a project run by the humanitarian aid organization Médecins Sans Frontières in the northeast of South Sudan. Impressed by encounters with people who live under the precarious conditions of this crisis zone, he writes about his experiences as a caregiver and, among other things, about how healthcare provision works with very limited resources.

The purpose of this book is to review and assess our current understanding of invertebrates in terrestrial and terrestrially-dominated (i.e. lower-order stream) ecosystems. It emphasises the centrality of the activity of invertebrates, which influence ecosystem function far out of proportion to their physical mass in a wide range of situations, particularly at the interface between land and air (litter/soil), water and land (sediments) and in tree canopies and root/soil systems. Consisting of 16 chapters by authors from the USA, Canada, Europe and Australia, the book is essential reading for ecologists and invertebrate biologists.
