Art treatments & subjectsJanuary 2010Understanding heritage and memory
by Tim Benton
Written by an interdisciplinary team of scholars, this authoritative text explores the emotive issues surrounding the commemoration of war and atrocity, and the profound challenges for conservators posed by 'virtual', 'intangible' and 'multicultural' heritage. New international case studies demonstrate that while interest in the memorialisation of the great national upheavals of the last century has never been more acute, many of the problems of conserving the past in diverse and disparate societies remain to be resolved. Aimed primarily at students in heritage studies and professionals in heritage industries, this book is one of three in the Understanding Global Heritage series.

July 2016Rice
by Su Tong
Rice is a collection of fictional works by Su Tong, which includes Rice, Three Lamps and Fish of the People. Rice, a tale of desire, agony, existence and destruction, is a novel Su Tong wrote in the early 1990s. It depicts the samsara-like life of a man who migrated to the city by train to run away from famine and who eventually returns to his hometown also by train. The wandering life in a strange place is the basic generalization of his life and his death on the way home marks the climax of the whole story. Rice is the most noteworthy one among the few novels Su Tong has written so far.

April 2021Harte Jahre
Roman
by Mario Vargas Llosa, Thomas Brovot
Harte Jahre ist ein vielstimmiges Romanepos über Macht, Verschwörung und Verrat – über die Fallstricke der Geschichte und die dreisten Machenschaften imperialer Politik. Und ein virtuoser literarischer Hochseilakt. Im Jahr 1954 bringt ein Militärputsch die Regierung Guatemalas zu Fall, mit freundlicher Unterstützung des CIA. Und zwar vermittels einer dreisten Lüge, die als Wahrheit durchgeht: US-Präsident Eisenhower hatte in Umlauf gebracht, Guatemalas Präsident Árbenz billige und unterstütze die Ausbreitung des sowjetischen Kommunismus auf dem Kontinent. Eine Lüge, die das Schicksal ganz Lateinamerikas verändern wird. Diese folgenreiche historische Episode – die uns schmerzlich an unsere Gegenwart erinnert – greift Mario Vargas Llosa auf und erzählt sie lebhaft und packend in ihrer ganzen Vielgestaltigkeit. Wer gründet welche Intrigen? Wer sind die Profiteure? Wer bleibt auf der Strecke?

Tim's Secret Soccer Diary - 11 Friends and I (Vol.1) What no one knew until now: Tim keeps a diary in which he tells of his almost normal life with school, annoying siblings and, of course, his soccer friend, the wonder striker. Above all, he notes down his ultimate coaching tricks. What happens in Volume 1: Hands off! Top secret! The game against Ludwigsbrück is coming up, the fearful opponent of the team Tim coaches. They have a real secret weapon: the so-called pudding bomber, with the hardest shot in the league! Tim really needs good tactics and already writes his ideas for the next game in his diary in the bathroom in the morning. Here, even the toothbrushes in the cup inspire him to a certain lineup. Tim has an idea of what tactics he can use to stop him. But will it work in the big game? And of course, there's our ace striker, who is supposed to give tips for the big game. How can they stop this pudding bomber? Fortunately, the two have worked out a tactic, which Tim communicates to his team and which is also adjusted again in the game. A coach has to be flexible. And in the end, of course, the decisive goal falls for Hegenwald, Tim's team. They have won the big game. Tim, of course, records everything in his diary! • For all soccer-loving children and fans of Greg's Diary and Ace Striker • Funny and fast-paced narration • Illustrated in black-and-white by Dominik Rupp

December 2023Verantwortung
Philosophische Grundlagentexte
by Christoph Halbig, Jörg Löschke, Philipp Schwind
Die Zuschreibung von Verantwortung für unsere Handlungen ist ein zentraler Bestandteil unserer moralischen Praxis. Aber sie wirft schwierige philosophische Fragen auf. Müssen wir beispielsweise über einen freien Willen verfügen, um für unsere Handlungen verantwortlich zu sein? Ist Verantwortung ein einheitliches Phänomen oder gibt es verschiedene Arten von Verantwortung? Und können wir nur für unsere Taten verantwortlich sein oder beispielsweise auch für unsere Überzeugungen? Der Band versammelt – zum Teil erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung – die zentralen Texte der philosophischen Debatte über Verantwortung, u. a. von Stephen Darwall, Harry G. Frankfurt, H. L. H. Hart, Thomas Nagel, Peter Strawson, Susan Wolf und Iris Marion Young.

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2010Arts and Crafts objects
by Imogen Hart, Christopher Breward, Bill Sherman
In this groundbreaking reassessment of the conventional understanding of a cohesive 'Arts and Crafts movement' in Britain, Imogen Hart argues that a sophisticated mode of looking at decorative art developed in England during the second half of the nineteenth century. Bringing to light a significant number of little-known visual and textual sources, Arts and Crafts Objects insists that the history of British design between the 1830s and the 1910s is more complex and interwoven than concepts of clearly differentiated 'movements' allow for. Reinvesting the objects with the original importance ascribed to them by their makers and users, this book places furniture, metalwork, tiles, vases, chintzes, carpets, and wallpaper at the centre of a rigorous reassessment of the concept of 'Arts and Crafts'. The book offers radical new interpretations of the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society and the homes of William Morris, alongside illuminating analyses of less familiar but equally rich contexts. ;

September 1986Harte Zeiten
Für diese Zeiten
by Charles Dickens, Maurice Greiffenhagen, F. Walker, Paul Heichen
»Harte Zeiten. Für diese Zeiten« – so lauten Titel und Untertitel des von April bis August 1854 in der Wochenschrift »Household Words« erschienenen Werkes, dessen Zielrichtung hier schon deutlich wird: die Unmenschlichkeit, die mit der sich immer weiter ausprägenden Industrialisierung in der viktorianischen Epoche einhergeht. Ein starrer Blick auf Rationales und auf Zahlen – »Tatsachen, Tatsachen, Tatsachen!« – prägt das zwischenmenschliche Verhalten in der Unternehmerwelt und hat entsprechende Auswirkungen auf die entrechteten Arbeiter, für die Dickens exemplarisch die Figur des Steven Blackpool zeichnet. Blackpool zögert nicht, dem hartherzigen Industriellen Bounderby die Wahrheit über die Situation der Webereiarbeiter zu sagen. Die Haupthandlung wird von zahlreichen Nebenhandlungen umrankt, in denen Zorn über soziale Ungerechtigkeit und satirische Einsprengsel nebeneinanderstehen.

Agronomy & crop productionApril 1997Sustainability of Rice Farming
by Edited by D J Greenland
Rice has supported a greater number of people for a longer period of time than any other crop. Nearly half of the global population is dependent on rice as its major staple food. While Asia remains the main centre of production and consumption of rice, the importance of rice is increasing rapidly in Africa and Latin America, and exports of rice from the United States and Australia are of major importance to the world rice trade. This book explores the factors which have contributed to the sustainability of rice production over the eight or nine thousand years for which rice has been produced. Sustainability is defined as the maintenance or improvement of production levels and protection of natural resources, within the context of economic viability and social acceptability. The author covers a wide range of issues, including soil fertility, plant breeding, pest management, irrigation, land degradation and social and economic factors. Greatest emphasis is placed on the special features of wetland rice production, and the importance of the nutrient balance. It is also shown that without the Green Revolution there would have been a period of mass starvation in Asia, a problem which continues to threaten and which will be unavoidable unless the successes of the Green Revolution can be sustained. The book provides a unique review of the sustainability of the production of the world’s most important crop, and should be of interest to students, research workers and policy makers in agriculture, soil science, and agricultural economics and food policies, as well as all interested in development in the third world.
