        Thysanoptera

        An Identification Guide, 2nd Edition

        by Laurence A Mound, Geoffrey Kibby

        A number of species of Thysanoptera (thrips) are increasingly important crop pests in many parts of the world, as well as in some cases being vectors of plant disease. Communicating the known information about a species of organism is dependent on our ability to recognise or identify it accurately. This book is a completely revised and rewritten edition of the standard, widely used manual on these minute flying insects written by J.M. Palmer, L.A. Mound and G.J. du Heaume and published in 1989 as CIE Guides to Insects of Importance to Man 2. Thysanoptera, which provides a practical identification guide on a worldwide scale. The previous version posed problems for students in terms of fluency in English & knowledge of dichotomous keys. However, this thoroughly updated edition incorporates a new set of pictorial keys, which have been developed and used very successfully for training courses at the International Institute of Entomology and which will greatly enhance the ability of the non-specialist to identify thrips to species. Individuals of these insects can usually be identified only by examination under a microscope, often at high power. Within each species, individuals can vary in size, colour and shape and their appearance can be altered by techniques used in preparation. This booklet describes techniques used in the preparation of thrip specimens onto slides for identification and the means of identifying slide-mounted specimens most commonly encountered. It also introduces students to the biological diversity that is found amongst the Thysanoptera, their economic importance in terms of both damaging and beneficial effects, new identification techniques, additional information and taxa, glossary of technical terms, notes on each genus (described alphabetically within their families and subfamilies). Supplementary keys to species are also given within four genera that include several pest species (Caliothrips, Frankliniella, Scirtothrips and Thrips) along with new distribution records which have occurred since the publication of the first edition. It is an essential tool for applied entomologists and crop protection specialists involved in the control of crop pest thrips, and thrip taxonomists.

        by Tudor Arghezi, Edith Horowitz-Silbermann

        Unter den rumänischen Satirikern ist Tudor Arghezi (geb. 1880) der bedeutendste. Von früh auf hat er sich der Polemik und dem Pamphlet verschrieben und sich auf die Seite der Unterdrückten und Erniedrigten geschlagen. So ist er gegen Ende des ersten wie des zweiten Weltkriegs verfolgt und verhaftet worden. Wie kein zweiter hat er den Kleinen genützt und den Großen geschadet.

        Es war das Fernsehereignis des Jahres 2000: Margarethe von Trottas vierteilige Verfilmung des Jahrhundertwerks von Uwe Johnson, das zuvor als unverfilmbar gegolten hatte. Doch der Westdeutsche Rundfunk ließ sich auf das Wagnis ein, und nach über zehn Jahren Vorbereitungszeit war die »Legende von der Unverfilmbarkeit hinreißend widerlegt« (FAZ) – nicht zuletzt dank großartiger Darsteller wie Suzanne von Borsody, Axel Milberg, Hanns Zischler und Matthias Habich. Im ausführlichen Booklet zu dieser DVD-Box beschreiben die Beteiligten den ehrgeizigen Versuch, Johnsons ausgreifendes Panorama über das Leben einer deutschen Familie im 20. Jahrhundert in eine Filmerzählung zu übersetzen. »Margarethe von Trotta gelingt ein kleines TV-Wunder.« Der Spiegel

        Tagebuch, später

        by Andrzej Stasiuk

        Zorniger hat Andrzej Stasiuk nie über Polen und den Westen geschrieben als nach seiner jüngsten Reise durch Südosteuropa. Zurück aus den „Ländern mit ausgeprägter Persönlichkeit”, wo Minarette neben Minen- und Gräberfeldern stehen, stößt er sich an obszönen Widersprüchen im eigenen Land: Nach Märtyrertum dürsten, aber zwischen zwanzig Chipssorten und erschwinglichen Tunesien-Angeboten wählen - wie paßt das zusammen? Sieht Polen nicht längst aus wie ein zurückgebliebenes Deutschland? Bleibt der Südosten deshalb ein nie einzuholendes Ziel, weil den Reisenden dort eine Realität anspringt, die zu Hause verdrängt oder neutralisiert ist? Reisebilder und Reflexionen, Rhapsodie und Pamphlet - Andrzej Stasiuk radikalisiert in seinem neuen großen Prosatext seine Kunst des scharfen Blicks und der pointierten Poesie.

        Ideas of poverty in the Age of Enlightenment

        by Niall O’Flaherty, Robin Mills

        This collection of essays examines the ways in which poverty was conceptualised in the social, political, and religious discourses of eighteenth-century Europe. It brings together experts with a wide range of expertise to offer pathbreaking discussions of how eighteenth-century thinkers thought about the poor. Because the theme of poverty played important roles in many critical issues in European history, it was central to some of the key debates in Enlightenment political thought throughout the period, including the controversies about sovereignty and representation, public and private charity, as well as questions relating to crime and punishment. The book examines some of the most important contributions to these debates, while also ranging beyond the canonical Enlightenment thinkers, to investigate how poverty was conceptualised in the wider intellectual culture, as politicians, administrators and pamphlet writers grappled with the issue.
