View Rights PortalFasciolosis is a major global infection of livestock causing both huge losses to the agricultural community and affecting human health as a food-borne disease. Fully updated throughout, this new edition continues to cover the life cycle, biology, and development of the parasite; clinical pathology, immunology, diagnosis and vaccine development; and emergence, cause and mechanisms of drug resistance. It reviews the temperate liver fluke Fasciola hepatica, together with molecular, biochemical, control, and epidemiologial aspects of the tropical liver fluke F. gigantica. Many fundamental advances have taken place in the last two decades, but of particular importance has been the mapping of the draft genome of Fasciola. In addition, comprehensive advances in transcriptomics, proteomics and glycomics have been made, and the book therefore pays particular attention to these developments with the addition of brand-new chapters. Also covering the impact these parasites have had on the global human population, their distribution and their ecology, this book provides a comprehensive and accessible resource for scientists, researchers and students of medical and veterinary parasitology.
Fasciolosis, caused by the liver flukes Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica, is one of the most economically important helminth parasite diseases of livestock. In addition, it is recognised as an emerging disease of humans by the World Health Organization; recent reports estimate that 2.4 million people are presently infected. This book is the first to be published for over 30 years which gives comprehensive coverage of these parasites and their control. It is a rich source of reference for students and researchers.

This important collection of essays focuses on the place of Roman Catholicism in early modern England, bringing new perspectives to bear on whether Shakespeare himself was Catholic. In the Introduction, Richard Wilson reviews the history of the debate over Shakespeare's religion, while Arthur Marotti and Peter Milward offer current perspectives on the subject. Eamon Duffy offers a historian's view of the nature of Elizabethan Catholicism, complemented by Frank Brownlow's study of Elizabeth's most brutal enforcer of religious policy, Richard Topcliffe. Two key Catholic controversialists are addressed by Donna Hamilton (Richard Vestegan) and Jean-Christophe Mayer (Robert Parsons). Robert Miola opens up the neglected field of Jesuit drama in the period, whilst Sonia Fielitz specifically proposes a new, Jesuit source-text for Timon of Athens. Carol Enos (As You Like It), Margaret Jones-Davies (Cymbeline), Gerard Kilroy (Hamlet) and Randall Martin (Henry VI 3) read individual plays in the light of these questions, while Gary Taylor's essay fittingly investigates the possible influence of religious conflicts on the publication of the Shakespeare First Folio. Theatre and religion: Lancastrian Shakespeare as a whole represents a major intervention in this fiercely contested current debate. ;
Tel Aviv, Anfang der neunziger Jahre: Helena, Elisabeths Mutter, ist gestorben. Während der Schiva, der sieben Trauertage, ist Elisabeth wieder in dem kleinen Viertel, in dem sie in den fünfziger und sechziger Jahren aufgewachsen ist, ein Viertel, in dem Überlebende der Shoah versuchten, sich ein neues Leben aufzubauen. Alle Kinder, mit denen sie groß geworden ist, haben wie Elisabeth schon vor vielen Jahren dieses Viertel verlassen. Sie wollten die Ängste und Alpträume ihrer Eltern hinter sich lassen, ein normaleres Leben führen, ein Großteil von ihnen jedoch gehörte zu jenen, die in den ersten Tagen des Jom-Kippur-Krieges fielen. Nun kommen die Nachbarinnen und Nachbarn von einst zu Besuch, um Helena die letzte Ehre zu erweisen, allen voran die zwei alten Schiva-Expertinnen Sonia und Genia. Durch die Trauergäste und ihre Erinnerungen wird für Elisabeth noch einmal die versunkene Welt ihrer Kindheit gegenwärtig, mit Müttern und Vätern, die in der israelischen Gegenwart nie heimisch wurden. Elisabeth, die keine anderen Verwandten hatte als ihre Mutter, erkennt am Ende der Trauerwoche, daß sie doch nicht ohne Familie aufgewachsen ist: Das Viertel hier, es war einmal eine Familie, das machen ihr die sieben Trauertage klar, die Sonia folgendermaßen zusammenfaßt: »Es war richtig gelungen, nur schade, daß Helena nicht dabei war.«
Howard Phillips Lovecraft wurde am 20. August 1890 in Providence, Rhode Island geboren und starb am 15. März 1937 ebenda. Im Alter von acht Jahren verlor er seinen Vater. Er wurde fortan hauptsächlich von seiner Mutter, seinem Großvater und zwei Tanten aufgezogen und zeigte bereits früh literarische Begabung. Als Kleinkind lernte er Gedichte auswendig und begann im Alter von sechs Jahren, eigene Gedichte zu schreiben. Sein Großvater unterstützte diese Neigung und erzählte ihm selbsterfundene Horrorgeschichten. 1914 wurde Lovecraft Mitglied einer Vereinigung von amerikanischen Hobbyautoren, deren Ziel es war, durch Kongresse den Austausch unter den Autoren zu fördern. Dieser Austausch mit Gleichgesinnten verlieh Lovecraft neuen Schwung: Die Kurzgeschichten The Tomb und Dagon erstanden in dieser Zeit. 1924 heiratete Lovecraft die sieben Jahre ältere jüdische Ukrainerin Sonia Greene. Einige Jahre später einigten sich die getrennt lebenden Sonia Greene und Lovecraft auf eine einvernehmliche Scheidung, die jedoch nie rechtswirksam vollzogen wurde. Lovecraft kehrte zurück nach Providence und lebte dort wieder mit seinen Tanten. Dieser letzte Abschnitt seines Lebens war der produktivste. Nahezu sämtliche seiner bekannten Erzählungen, wie Der Fall Charles Dexter Ward oder Berge des Wahnsinns stammen aus dieser Zeit. 1936 wurde bei Lovecraft Darmkrebs diagnostiziert. Bis zu seinem Tode ein Jahr später litt er an ständigen Schmerzen und Unterernährung. Rudolf Hermstein, geboren 1940 in Juliusburg in Niederschlesien, ist seit 1971 als freier Übersetzer aus dem Englischen tätig. Er lebt im oberbayerischen Bad Feilnbach.

John Polidori's novella The Vampyre (1819) is perhaps 'the most influential horror story of all time' (Frayling). Polidori's story transformed the shambling, mindless monster of folklore into a sophisticated, seductive aristocrat that stalked London society rather than being confined to the hinterlands of Eastern Europe. Polidori's Lord Ruthven was thus the ancestor of the vampire as we know it. This collection explores the genesis of Polidori's vampire. It then tracks his bloodsucking progeny across the centuries and maps his disquieting legacy. Texts discussed range from the Romantic period, including the fascinating and little-known The Black Vampyre (1819), through the melodramatic vampire theatricals in the 1820s, to contemporary vampire film, paranormal romance, and science fiction. They emphasise the background of colonial revolution and racial oppression in the early nineteenth century and the cultural shifts of postmodernity.

This book is the first detailed look at the contribution of artists from Ukraine to the phenomenon known as the School of Paris. Many Ukrainian artists, such as Alexander Archipenko, Mykhailo Boichuk, Sonia Delaunay, Sophia Lewitska, Vladimir Baranoff-Rossiné, and Hannah Orloff were living and working in Paris at the same time as Picasso, Modigliani and Chagall. In the early 1920s they were joined by Oleksa Hryshchenko (Alexis Gritchenko), Mykhailo Andriienko, Vasyl Khmeliuk, and many others. Some of these artists achieved fame, others are long since forgotten. The book also tells about Ukrainian events that unfolded in the French capital between 1900-1939. The book's Appendix includes a list of over 250 Ukrainian artists in Paris as well as a chronology of Ukrainian events in Paris.
When the holidays draw near, schoolchildren begin to think about rest and travel. Sadly, this time, Vira's (Faith) holidays will be different due to the war. She, along with her parents and younger brother, has to move to the basement floor of their apartment building to hide from the bombardments. The family members do all they can to adapt to this new reality: they melt snow when they run out of water, try to warm themselves up by singing when they run out of heating, and reassure themselves that all the people close to them are safe when they cannot hear from them. The usual way of life seems like a distant memory, surviving perhaps only in our imagination or in computer games. Yet, even in these activities, and in supporting our loved ones, we can learn how to find a light inside that no missile will ever be able to reach. The Holiday I Had to Take is not only the moving story of Vira; readers of Kateryna Yehorushkina's book will also find advice and soothing practices from psychologist Svitlana Royz to support everyone finding themselves in difficult times From 3 to 8 years, 2138 words.
