        Mineral Nutrition Of Livestock 5th Edition

        by Neville Suttle

        The fifth edition of this important book reviews recent advances in livestock mineral nutrition, updated throughout with new references that reflect the growing complexity of mineral metabolism. Major related themes covered include the assessment of the 'mineral value' of feeds, the false hopes placed on organic mineral supplements and limiting the 'mineral footprint' of livestock production to lower environmental pollution. Also discussed are new developments and concepts including: Salt tolerance and optimizing production in salt-rich environments. Use of phytase rather than phosphate supplements in pig and poultry rations. Demineralization of the skeleton during confinement. Recognition of sub-acute, clinical hypocalcaemia as a disorder in dairy cows. The assay of 'free' plasma B12 to assess cobalt status of cattle. Limitations of cell culture and ligated loop techniques for assessing bioavailability. Following a clear and easy to reference structure, the book also considers potential pitfalls, such as misleading estimates of mineral requirements for growth, and misinterpretation of genomic markers for mineral requirements and bioavailability of supplements. An essential resource for researchers and students in animal nutrition, agriculture and veterinary medicine, this book also forms a useful reference for veterinary practitioners and those concerned with human nutrition and environmental protection.

        British films of the 1970s

        by Paul Newland

        British films of the 1970s offers highly detailed and insightful critical analysis of a range of individual films of the period. This analysis draws upon an innovative range of critical methodologies which place the film texts within a rich variety of historical contexts. The book sets out to examine British films of the 1970s in order to get a clearer understanding of two things - the fragmentary state of the filmmaking culture of the period, and the fragmentary nature of the nation that these films represent. It argues that there is no singular narrative to be drawn about British filmmaking in the 1970s, other than the fact that these films offer evidence of a Britain (and ideas of Britishness) characterised by vicissitudes. While this was a period of struggle and instability, it was also a period of openings, of experiment, and of new ideas. Newland looks at many films, including Carry On Girls, O Lucky Man!, That'll be the Day, The Shout, and The Long Good Friday. ;

        Frauen 70+ Cool. Rebellisch. Weise.

        Von Nancy Pelosi über Helen Mirren bis Élisabeth Badinter. Mit einem Vorwort von Iris Berben | Mit zahlreichen Fotografien

        by Rita Kohlmaier, Iris Berben

        »70 and female is the new cool«, schrieb jüngst die New York Times über diese großartige Generation der Frauen 70+. Frauen, die sich mit Energie und Kraft Gehör verschaffen und durch ihre Haltung inspirieren: Sie sind längst in der zweiten Lebenshälfte angekommen – und aufrecht, ehrgeizig, willensstark. Sie sind entschieden in ihrer Haltung wie die Richterin Ruth Bader Ginsburg, sie sind Kämpferinnen wie Erika Pluhar und Tina Turner, und für sie alle ist »unbequem« zu sein ein Kompliment. Viele der Frauen sind Kult, sie sind Wegbereiterinnen und immer Vorbilder. Frauen, die wissen, wer sie sind, was sie geleistet haben und morgen noch bewegen können. Frauen, die cool, rebellisch und klug oder manchmal auch »schräg« sind, die ihren eigenen Kopf haben. Sie alle sind Frauen, die uns viel zu sagen haben. Mit Juliette Gréco, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Jane Fonda, Charlotte Knobloch, Letizia Battaglia, Erika Pluhar, Herlinde Koelbl, Margaret Atwood, Tina Turner, Vivienne Westwood, Nancy Pelosi, Annie Ernaux, Élisabeth Badinter, Elfie Semotan, Alice Nkom, Marina Abramović, Helen Mirren, Carla Del Ponte, Shirin Ebadi, Marianne Birthler.

        French cinema in the 1970s

        The echoes of May

        by Alison Smith

        This book re-examines French cinema of the 1970s. It focuses on the debates which shook French cinema, and the calls for film-makers to rethink their manner of filming, subject matter and ideals in the immediate aftermath of the student revolution of May 1968. Alison Smith examines the effect of this re-thinking across the spectrum of French production, the rise of new genres and re-formulation of older ones. Chapters investigate political thrillers, historical films, new naturalism and Utopian fantasies, dealing with a wide variety of films. A particular concern is the extent to which film-makers' ideas and intentions are contained in or contradicted by their finished work, and the gradual change in these ideas over the decade. The final chapter is a detailed study of two directors who were deeply involved in the debates and events of the 70s, William Klein and Alain Tanner, here taken as exemplary spokesmen for those changing debates as their echoes reached the cinema. ;

        77 days of February. Ukraine between two symbolic dates of the Russian war ideology

        by Marichka Paplauskaite (Compiler), Authors: Inna Adrug, Anna Argirova, Kateryna Babkina, Tetyana Bezruk, Oleksandra Gorchynska, Inna Zolotukhina, Vera Kuriko, Olena Livytska, Olga Livytska, Svitlana Oslavska, Marichka Paplauskaite, Eva Raiska, Anya Semenyuk, Zoya Khramchenko, Margarita Chimyris, Iryna Yaroshynska

        As a child, she could not understand why people in films about the blockade of Leningrad were always lying down. And when Mariupol was besieged by the Russians, and she and her husband lived for many days without water, food and heat under constant shelling, she realized that when you lie down, you save strength and energy. "77 Days of February" included reports written by journalists of the Reporters media in the period between February 23 and May 9 — two symbolic dates for Russian military ideology. The invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine stopped the number of days and pushed Ukrainians back to the intervening time, where February — the month of the beginning of the great war — still lasts. In the meantime and in these candid stories, there is pain, fear, hatred, and sometimes despair. But the main thing is hope. This is a bare nerve and an honest voice of the new Ukrainian reality.

        Handke Bibliothek II

        Bde. 10-11 Aufsätze

        by Peter Handke

        Im Alter von 25 Jahren – Peter Handke hatte den ersten Roman veröffentlicht, einen öffentlich-provokanten Auftritt in Princeton, vier Schauspieler im Theater das Publikum beschimpfen lassen – formulierte er seine schriftstellerische Maxime, die für ihn bis heute Gültigkeit hat: »Ich erwarte von einem literarischen Werk eine Neuigkeit für mich (…). Eine Möglichkeit besteht für mich jeweils nur einmal. Die Nachahmung dieser Möglichkeit ist dann schon unmöglich.« Bei jedem Buch, jedem Theaterstück, jedem Essay kann der Leser demnach das Unerwartete erwarten. Jede Lektüre bedeutet den Vorschlag zu einer Neuentdeckung der Welt, der Innenwelt und der Außenwelt wie der Innenwelt der Außenwelt der Innenwelt, jede Veröffentlichung überrascht, verschlägt den Atem, selbst dem geübten Handke-Leser, jede Publikation schlägt Umwege ins Zentrum neuer Erfahrungen ein, jede überkommene literarische Form wird durch erprobt und zugleich erweitert, und das in Titelformulierungen, die inzwischen Eingang in die alltägliche Sprache gefunden haben: Die Angst des Tormanns beim Elfmeter, Der kurze Brief zum langen Abschied, Langsame Heimkehr, Mein Jahr in der Niemandsbucht, Untertagblues… Die Handke Bibliothek unterbreitet ein nicht abzulehnendes Angebot: Sie enthält alles, was der Autor während seines gesamten Schreiberlebens in Buchform veröffentlicht hat, ermöglicht die Konzentration der Lektüre auf einzelne Gattungen, lädt dazu ein, blätternd-lesend die mäandernden (Schreib)Versuche zu verfolgen. Kurz: Die Handke Bibliothek ist für Leser unumgänglich.
