        gestalten continues to actively reimagine the way in which we approach publishing. With our extensive range of titles, we not only seek to enhance and to enrich our reader's lives, but to continually engage with the surrounding creative landscape. Our origin story began with a focus on the aesthetic, particularly that of graphic design and, over the last two decades, the scope of both our content and our expertise has widened. Today, using a myriad of observations of culture, people, art, and other intimate, inspirational informants, we document and anticipate vital movements in architecture, visual culture, design & fashion, escapism, food & beverages, travel, and contemporary art. In 2014, Little Gestalten joined the literary ranks and ensured that there was a place for readers of all ages within the world of gestalten. The gestalten narrative exists beyond the textual realm; regardless of the medium at hand, gestalten wishes to inform and inspire our community. We welcome you to enter gestalten's world of creative culture, whether between our pages, indulging in images and films online or at one of our international events. We look forward to the result: mutual inspiration.

        Sweet Darusya

        by Maria Matios

        Sweet Darusya, Maria Matios’ best-known novel, has been rightly called "a tragedy matching the history of the 20th century", and Darusya herself is "an almost biblical figure". This “drama in three lives” has nothing unambiguous: neither characters nor circumstances nor resolution. There are no epoch-making people or events, heroes or villains, but, as one critic noted, "your heart breaks when you read this book." Sweet Darusya recreates the true spirit of the past through a family saga and touches upon topics that until now prevent a part of modern society from perceiving Ukrainian history without omissions, censorship and irritability. This unique view that Maria Matios offers in this novel, measures the essence of human urges, suffering, true love, and human nature in general. Authentic writing style, deep psychologism, and a complex plot that unfolds in reverse chronological order create a unique piece of prose.

        RNAi for Plant Improvement and Protection

        by Bruno Mezzetti, Jeremy Sweet, Lorenzo Burgos

        RNA interference (RNAi) has the potential to make major contributions towards sustainable crop production and protection with minimal environmental impacts compared to other technologies. RNAi is being developed and exploited both within plants (i.e. host-induced gene silencing, HIGS) and/or as topical applications (e.g. spray-induced gene silencing, SIGS) for targeting pest and pathogen genes and for manipulating endogenous gene expression in plants. Chapters by international experts review current knowledge on RNAi, methods for developing RNAi systems in GM plants and applications for crop improvement, crop production and crop protection. Chapters examine both endogenous systems in GM plants and exogenous systems where interfering RNAs are applied to target plants, pests and pathogens. The biosafety of these different systems is examined and methods for risk assessment for food, feed and environmental safety are discussed. Finally, aspects of the regulation of technologies exploiting RNAi and the socio-economic impacts of RNAi technologies are discussed. Chapter 1: Introduction to RNAi in Plant Production and Protection. Bruno Mezzetti, Jeremy Sweet and Lorenzo Burgos Chapter 2: Gene silencing to induce pathogen-derived resistance in plants. Zhen Liao, Elena Zuriaga, Ángela Polo and Maria L. Badenes Chapter 3: Exogenous application of small RNAs as a tool for gene function discovering. Barbara Molesini and Tiziana Pandolfini Chapter 4: The “Trojan Horse” approach for successful RNA interference in inscects. Dimitrios Kontogiannatos, Anna Kolliopoulou and Luc Swevers. Chapter 5: Biogenesis and functional RNAi in fruit-trees. Michel Ravelonandro and Pascal Briard Chapter 6: Gene silencing or gene editing: the pros and cons. Huw D Jones Chapter 7: Application of RNAi technology in Forest Trees. Matthias Fladung, Hely Haggman and S. Sutela Chapter 8: Host-induced gene silencing and spray-induced gene silencing for crop protection against viruses. Angela Ricci, Silvia Sabbadini, Laura Miozzi, Bruno Mezzetti and Emanuela Noris.

        Licht am Ende des Tunnels

        Roman. Deutsch von Arianna Giachi

        by Guido Morselli, Arianna Giachi

        »Licht am Ende des Tunnels« ist, so betont Morselli, keine Utopie, sondern ein Gegenstück zu vergangener Wirklichkeit, zur Historie, »eine Alternativ-Realität«. Morselli behauptet – und beweist auf ungemein spannende Weise –, daß durch den heimlichen Bau eines Alpentunnels 1916 ein Überraschungsangriff der Österreicher gegen die Italiener erfolgreich verlaufen wäre. Wenn die deutsche Armee sodann den Stellungskrieg in Frankreich aufgegeben und ähnlich operiert, wenn auch die deutsche Flotte mittels massiver U-Boot-Angriffe auf die britischen Öltanker die doppelt so große britische Seestreitmacht besiegt, ein britischer Pilot dagegen Wilhelm II. entführt hätte, wäre der Erste Weltkrieg im Westen noch im selben Jahre zugunsten Deutschlands entschieden, beendet und vielleicht nicht vom Zweiten Weltkrieg gefolgt worden. Deutschland hätte auf Gebietsgewinne und Reparationen verzichtet und als Demokratie durch seinen ersten Kanzler: Walter Rathenau Italien, Frankreich, und Belgien bewogen, eine sozialdemokratisch orientierte westeuropäische Gemeinschaft zu bilden. Eine Gemeinschaft zunächst der vier, der sich weitere Länder angeschlossen hätten, eine Gemeinschaft, die »den Austausch mit Lenins Sozialismus« gepflegt hätte. Österreich allerdings hätte gleichwohl aufgehört, eine Doppelmonarchie zu sein. Und Adolf Hitler wäre ein obskurer Maler geblieben.
