      The Battle for Water
      April 2023

      The Battle for Water

      In the century of drought

      by Jürgen Rahmig

      — Water as a reason for war and a political instrument of power — Unique overview of global water conflicts — Foreword by Wolfgang Ischinger Every year, droughts in African countries cause hundreds of thousands of deaths and much suffering. Europe also experienced drought in 2022's summer of record temperatures. Without water, there can be no life. More and more people are suffering from water shortages. Climate change is fuelling the distribution battles for water; violent conflicts over this precious resource are the order of the day. Whether the protests in Iraq, the war in Syria, in the Himalayas, the Nile conflict and in many other places, water is already a reason for war and is being misused as a political instrument of power. The construction of huge dams, the targeted closure of locks, river diversions, water and land grabbing bring wars over the "blue gold" with them. In a unique overview, journalist Jürgen Rahmig describes the struggle for water in the 21st century. Where do dangers lurk today; where will they be tomorrow, and how can we prevent wars over precious water?

      Helicobacter pylori in the 21st Century

      by Steffen Backert, Stefan Bereswill, Tom Blanchard, Pelayo Correa, Richard Ferrero, Kwong-Ming Fock, Sara Lindén, Hoda Malaty, Barry Marshall, Francis Megraud, Anthony P Moran, John Nedrud, Karen Robinson, Maria Kaparakis. Edited by Philip Sutton, Hazel Mitchell.

      Helicobacter pylori is a globally significant pathogen that infects half of the population of the world. Its recognition enabled the development of new therapeutic and preventative strategies for serious health conditions such as gastric cancer, of which it is the major causative agent. Providing a broad overview of the current understanding of this pathogen and emphasising its world health impacts, this book explores a range of topics including virulence factors, vaccine development and obstacles, epidemiology, antibiotic resistance and the role of Nod receptors, with a foreword by Barry Marshall, the Nobel Laureate and co-discoverer of H. pylori. It is an essential resource for researchers, students and medics in infectious and Helicobacter-associated diseases.

      Band 9: Auslöschung

      by Thomas Bernhard, Hans Höller

      ›Auslöschung‹ ist der letzte von Thomas Bernhard publizierte Roman. Die ersten Überlegungen zu diesem von ihm selbst als »opus magnum« bezeichneten Werk reichen jedoch bis in die Mitte der siebziger Jahre zurück. Niedergeschrieben wird der Bericht des Franz-Josef Murau über die Auslöschung seiner Eltern und seines Bruders zu Beginn der achtziger Jahre. Zwanzig Jahre später gilt das Buch als die definitive literarische Auseinandersetzung mit der österreichischen Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts, mit dem »katholisch-nationalsozialistischen« Komplex, wie er sich am Verhalten der Familie der Eigentümer von Schloß Wolfsegg prototypisch ablesen läßt. Thomas Bernhards umfangreichster Roman muß als die Summe seines literarischen Schaffens gelten: Um dem »Herkunftskomplex« zu entrinnen, muß man die Gegenrichtung einschlagen, sich selbst eine »Antiautobiografie« erarbeiten und erschreiben.

      The First and Second Parts of King Edward the Fourth

      By Thomas Heywood

      by David Bevington, Richard Rowland, Richard Dutton, Alison Findlay, Helen Ostovich

      'Edward IV' (1599) was printed no less than six times up to 1626, and was one of the best loved plays of the early modern period, but this edition is the first since the 1870s. The play premiered at a moment when the representation of medieval history in any format was coming under the hostile scrutiny of the Elizabethan government. Yet the playwright produced a text which was at once generically complex (the play blurs the distinction between chronicle history and 'domestic' tragedy), brilliantly assured in its dramatic craftsmanship, and politically explosive. The text of this new paperback edition has already been used by the actors at Shakespeare's Globe when they gave the first London performance of 'Edward IV' for more than four centuries. By demonstrating the playwright's dextrous marshalling of a remarkable range of sources, and by examining afresh the dramatist's singular theatrical technique, this volume reopens an exciting if difficult play to a new generation of scholars and performers. ;

      Das Collège de Sociologie

      1937–1939

      by Denis Hollier, Horst Brühmann, Irene Albers, Stephan Moebius

      Kaum eine intellektuelle Gruppierung des 20. Jahrhunderts hat eine vergleichbare Wirkung und Faszinationskraft entfaltet wie das Collège de sociologie, das 1937 von Georges Bataille zusammen mit Roger Caillois und Michel Leiris gegründet wurde. Den Mitgliedern des Collège geht es im Anschluß an die Religionssoziologie von Durkheim und Mauss um die Etablierung einer Soziologie des Sakralen, das aus seinen religionswissenschaftlichen und ethnologischen Bezügen gelöst und für eine allgemeine Wissenschaft moderner Gesellschaften fruchtbar gemacht werden soll. Einer sich rapide individualisierenden Gesellschaft, deren atomistischer und anomischer Zustand sie besonders anfällig für faschistische Propaganda macht, setzen die Collègiens die Schaffung frei wählbarer Gemeinschaften entgegen, die durch Erfahrungen der kollektiven Ekstase, von Festen und Mythen zusammengehalten werden. Die reich kommentierte Edition von Denis Hollier hat den Diskussionszusammenhang des Collège de sociologie erstmals erschlossen und zeitlich nachvollziehbar gemacht. Zahlreiche Texte sind nur in dieser Ausgabe zugänglich; nun liegt sie erstmals in vollständiger deutscher Übersetzung vor. Editorisch bearbeitet und mit einem Nachwort von Irene Albers und Stephan Moebius.

      Alphabet des Abschieds

      Roman

      by Urs Faes

      "»Gib sie wieder, sagte sie, als ob es seine Geschichte wäre.«Als ob es unsere Geschichte wäre - so erzählt unaufdringlich leise und bewegend Urs Faes in seinem Roman ›Alphabet des Abschieds‹ die Wiederbegegnung eines Mannes und einer Frau auf der Piazza della Rotonda an einem Spätherbstlichen römischen Novembertag. Nach zwanzig Jahren sehen ein Mann und eine Frau sich in der Ewigen Stadt wieder; Zufall, Fügung oder Schonfrist?»Ein Mann wie Paul.« »Eine Frau wie Nicole.«Als ob es unsere Geschichte wäre: Er, Paul, ein gescheiterter Maler, der sich als Karikaturist und Touristenführer durchs Leben schlägt. Ein exzentrischer Mann, der nicht mehr an Worte glauben kann und die zynische Gleichgültigkeit zur Überlebenssicherung macht; einer, der niemanden mehr liebt, nicht einmal sich selbst, einer, der nur noch den Tod und die sterbende Zeit malen konnte und sonst gar nichts mehr. Aber auch einer, dem unter seinen Maskeraden das Vergessen nicht gelingen will. Sie, Nicole, ist Chorsängerin auf Gastspieltournee.Zögernd lassen Nicole und Paul sich auf die Begegnung und erneute Annäherung ein, suchen sie nach den Worten, m denen sich über die furchtsam weggeschobenen Erinnerungen sprechen läßt.»Wie hast du gelebt all die Jahre?« Unangestrengt und feinfühlig-behutsam stellt Urs Faes seine Fragen, läßt er in Alphabet des Abschieds Nicoles und Pauls Bilder geteilter Biographie und gemeinsamer Zeit vorbeiziehen: die späten sechziger und siebziger Jahre mit ihren erhofften und enttäuschten Lebensentwürfen, die Stationen einer Liebe, deren Zärtlichkeit in immer neuen Abschieden vergeht und schließlich am Vorwurf des »Verrats an der Liebe« scheitert, Pauls Neuanfang in Rom – der Stadt, wo jene Liebe zu Nicole begonnen hat und ein Leben auf Aufschub im Irrlauf durch die Straßen scheitert."

      Die Geschichte meiner italienischen Großmutter

      by Thomas de Padova

      Jeden Sommer verbrachte Thomas de Padova in einem Dorf am Meer in Apulien, Geburtsort seines Vaters, Großvaters und Urgroßvaters – drei Männer, die irgendwann aus Italien aufbrachen in die Welt. Seine Großmutter blieb. Jahr für Jahr erwartet sie ihn, still auf einem Stuhl sitzend, im Dunkel ihres Zimmers: eine alte, schwarz gekleidete Frau, die ohne Kühlschrank lebt. Warum hat der Großvater seine Frau immer behandelt, als existierte sie nicht? Was hat die beiden vor mehr als einem halben Jahrhundert aneinandergebunden? Diese Geschichte ist eine Schatzkammer: Erfüllt vom hellen Licht der Adria und durchzogen von uralten Geheimnissen, bewahrt sie in knappen, leuchtend klaren Szenen eine ganze Welt in sich auf. Thomas de Padova erzählt von der Welt seiner Großmutter in Italien, stimmungsvoll und leuchtend klar.

      Black Bartholomew’s Day

      Preaching, polemic and Restoration nonconformity

      by David J. Appleby

      Black Bartholomew's Day explores the religious, political and cultural implications of a collision of highly-charged polemic prompted by the mass ejection of Puritan ministers from the Church of England in 1662. It is the first in-depth study of this heated exchange, centres centring on the departing ministers' farewell sermons. Many of these valedictions, delivered by hundreds of dissenting preachers in the weeks before Bartholomew's Day, would be illegally printed and widely distributed, provoking a furious response from government officials, magistrates and bishops. Black Bartholomew's Day re-interprets the political significance of ostensibly moderate Puritan clergy, arguing that their preaching posed a credible threat to the restored political order This book is aimed at readers interested in historicism, religion, nonconformity, print culture and the political potential of preaching in Restoration England.

      One Day of Us

      by Zhu Hongyan

      "One Day of Us" expresses the concepts and methods of education from three perspectives of primary school teachers, students, and parents, and presents them in the form of picture books that both adults and children are happy to accept. Through vivid stories, the essence and truth of education are subtly conveyed to every reader. Reading is like a trickle, warm and delicate. A teacher’s day through the work of a new teacher who has just started working on the campus on the first day of work, so that teachers can understand the standards and standards of behavior. There is no blunt "ban", but the spring breeze has turned the rain, moisturizing things silently, it is a set of behavior norms that all teachers are willing to accept and are willing to follow this standard. All the paintings of the children's day are done by the children themselves. Go out of the house in the early morning and come to the beautiful campus, where there are a variety of after-school activities, lively and interesting subjects learning, and warm moments of mutual help and mutual assistance that occur in the corner of the campus. In the picture book-style narrative, children are taught the correct learning attitude and ethics subtly.

      Forest Hydrology

      Processes, Management and Assessment

      by Devendra Amatya, Thomas Williams, Leon Bren, Carmen de Jong

      Forests cover approximately 26% of the world's land surface area and represent a distinct biotic community. They interact with water and soil in a variety of ways, providing canopy surfaces which trap precipitation and allow evaporation back into the atmosphere, thus regulating how much water reaches the forest floor as through fall, as well as pull water from the soil for transpiration. The discipline "forest hydrology" has been developed throughout the 20th century. During that time human intervention in natural landscapes has increased, and land use and management practices have intensified. This book: - Presents cutting edge thinking and assessments in forest hydrology across all latitudes and terrains, including state-of-the-art modelling techniques and methodologies - Describes the latest challenges facing forest hydrology, such as increased occurrence of disturbance, due to extreme floods, drought, disease, and fire, potentially caused by climate change - Is written by an internationally renowned team of scientists, engineers, and managers to give a well-rounded review of the subject The book will be useful for graduate students, professionals, land managers, practitioners, and researchers with a good understanding of the basic principles of hydrology and hydrologic processes. ; This book presents cutting edge thinking and assessments in forest hydrology across all latitudes and terrains, including state-of-the-art modelling techniques and methodologies.
