        A Family with Autism

        When Autism is the Rule, not the Exception

        by Joyce van Maaren

        Four out of your five children have autism, and your husband too! This is what happened to Joyce van Maaren. Over the years four of her children and her husband are diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. In A Family With Autism she talks openly about how her life gets turned upside down over and over again, and how the family had to regain their balance. In this inspiring and lovable book, Joyce van Maaren takes the reader on a journey – one with many ups and downs. Readers can find support in her story and discover what autism means for daily life. But most of all, they will be inspired to make the most of every day, even if they or their family has to deal with autism (or other psychological disorders). Target Group: people with autism and their relatives, families of which some members have autism.

        Neither use nor ornament

        A cultural biography of clutter and procrastination

        by Tracey Potts

        Neither use nor ornament is a book about personal productivity, told from the perspective of its obstacles: clutter and procrastination. It offers a challenge to the self-help promise of a clutter-free life, lived in a permanent state of efficiency and flow. The book reveals how contemporary projections of the good, productive life rely on images of failure. Riffing on the aphorism 'less is more' - a dominant refrain in present day productivity advice - it tells stories about streamlining, efficiency and tidiness over a time period of around 100 years. By focusing on the shadows of productivity advice, Neither use nor ornament seeks to unravel the moral narratives that hold individuals to account for their inefficiencies and muddles.

        Doris hilft

        Roman

        by Wolfgang Welt, Willi Winkler

        »Doris hilft« steht an einer Wand der Bochumer Uni, an der Wolfgang Welt in seinem Wahn vorbeiläuft. Doris, so hieß doch die Bedienung in seinem Stammlokal, die er geliebt hatte – Doris hilft ist der vierte Roman, den Welt seinem Leben als Autor, Biertrinker, Dauersohn und Nachtwächter auf der Bochumer Wilhelmshöhe und in deren Umgebung widmet. Lauter Nachrichten aus der Wirklichkeit (um 1990), aber es braucht jemanden wie Welt, den »größten Erzähler des Ruhrgebiets« (Willi Winkler), der sie uns aufgreift, »anleuchtet«, sichtbar macht. Im Anhang: »Bob Dylan & Buddy Holly. Kein Vergleich«, einer der besten Artikel des Musikjournalisten Wolfgang Welt aus dem Jahr 1991.

        Aphids as Crop Pests

        by Helmut F van Emden, Richard Harrington

        Aphids are among the major global pest groups, causing serious economic damage to many food and commodity crops in most parts of the world. This revision and update of the well-received first edition published ten years ago reflects the expansion of research in genomics, endosymbionts and semiochemicals, as well as the shift from control of aphids with insecticides to a more integrated approach imposed by increasing resistance in the aphids and government restrictions on pesticides. The book remains a comprehensive and up-to-date reference work on the biology of aphids, the various methods of controlling them and the progress of integrated pest management as illustrated by ten case histories. Helmut van Emden is Emeritus Professor of Horticulture at the University of Reading, UK. He has researched on aphids for over 50 years and has wide international experience, including in the tropics. Richard Harrington retired in 2015 as Head of the Rothamsted Insect Survey, with which he worked for 36 years on aphid monitoring and forecasting. He led the EU project "EXAMINE" (Exploitation of Aphid Monitoring In Europe) which brought together colleagues involved in aphid monitoring throughout Europe and beyond. ; A comprehensive reference on the biology and management of aphids occurring in crops, this new edition reflects the expansion of genomic research, semiochemicals and endosymbionts, and the shift away from purely chemical control towards more integrated methods. ; -: Preface to the First Edition -: Preface to the Second Edition 1: Taxonomic Issues 2: Aphid Genomics and its Contribution to Understanding Aphids as Crop Pests 3: Conventional Molecular Markers and Genomics Tools 4: Life Cycles and Polyphenism 5: Growth and Development 6: Nutrition and Symbiosis 7: Aphids and Stress 8: Chemical Ecology 9: Host-Plant Selection and Feeding 10: Aphid Movement: Process and Consequences 11: Predators, Parasitoids and Pathogens 12: Population Dynamics: Cycles and Patterns 13: Aphid Population Dynamics: From Fields to Landscapes 14: Feeding Injury 15: Transmission of Plant Viruses 16: Monitoring and Forecasting 17: Decision Support Systems 18: Chemical Control 19: Insecticide Resistance 20: Biological Control 21: Cultural Control 22: Host-Plant Resistance 23: Integrated Pest Management and Introduction to IPM Case Studies 24: IPM Case Studies: Grain 25: IPM Case Studies: Sorghum 26: IPM Case Studies: Leafy Salad Crops 27: IPM Case Studies: Brassicas 28: IPM Case Studies: Cucurbits 29: IPM Case Studies: Seed Potato 30: IPM Case Studies: Cotton 31: IPM Case Studies: Berry Crops 32: IPM Case Studies: Deciduous Fruit Tree Aphids 33: IPM Case Studies: Tropical and Subtropical Fruit Trees
