        The Holiday I Had to Take

        by Kateryna Yehorushkina (Author), Sonia Avdieieva (Illustrator)

        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.

        Take-All Disease of Cereals

        A Regional Perspective

        by Geoffrey L Bateman, Richard J Gutteridge, Philippe Lucas, Anne E Osbourn, Elaine Ward. Edited by David Hornby.

        Take-all is the most important root disease of cereals worldwide and a major disease problem in northern European wheat-growing regions. It is regarded by many as an intractable problem because of the lack of economically-viable chemical controls and resistant cultivars. It remains one of the great challenges of plant pathology and serves as an ideal model for many of the problems of root diseases in general. This book, an initiative of the IACR/ADAS/Universities Cereal Root Pathology Group, is the first since 1981 to provide an up-to-date review of the practical aspects of take-all research. It contains the experience of several contributors with long and active careers in take-all research or the advisory services and includes a comprehensive worldwide bibliography of relevant literature published over the last 15 years. The book concentrates on Europe, particularly the UK and France, and this regional theme is developed through comparisons with approaches used in, for example, North America and Australia. Chapters deal with history, disease and epidemiology, take-all in relation to cereal production systems, strategies for management, the pathogens and related fungi, field techniques and future prospects. This book is essential reading for advanced students and professionals in cereal crop protection research and will be of interest to plant pathologists as well as agricultural advisors.

        Let Them Eat Chaos / Sollen sie doch Chaos fressen

        Lyrik

        by Johanna Wange, Kae Tempest

        Irgendwo in London, es ist 4:18 Uhr. Sieben Menschen liegen wach, gequält von Sorgen, Ängsten und Erinnerungen. Nacheinander lernen wir sie kennen, blicken auf ihre Leben: beschädigt, entfremdet, scheinbar ohne jede Hoffnung. Doch dann bricht ein Sturm über die Stadt herein, treibt die Einsamen und Verletzten auf die Straße und lässt sie erkennen, wie tief sie miteinander verbunden sind. Kae Tempests Langgedicht Let Them Eat Chaos ist nicht nur ein mitreißendes Sprachkunstwerk, sondern auch ein wütender Aufruf zum Handeln, gegen soziale Ungerechtigkeit, gegen Verrohung und politische Gewalt, für mehr Empathie, Gemeinsamkeit und Hoffnung im Chaos.
