Die Nacht der Zeitlosen
by Patrick Roth
In Patrick Roths neuem Buch Die Nacht der Zeitlosen begegnen uns Menschen auf der Suche, Träumende, Neugierige, Sehnende: ein Mr. Colman zum Beispiel, dem vor lauter Glück sein großes Glück zu entgehen droht; ein deutscher Student, der angesichts einer Engländerin, die ihm die dunkel-sexuelle Welt Poes näherbringt, heftig ins Phantasieren gerät; ein junger Filmemacher, der in Los Angeles beim Trödler den »Stab Moses« kauft, mit dem Charlton Heston in den Zehn Geboten das Rote Meer geteilt hatte, und damit wenig später in eine katastrophale Lage gerät; einen Deutschen, der auf einer Party in Hollywood Menschen kennenlernt, die über das Attentat auf Präsident Kennedy miteinander verbunden sind und ihn mit dem Problem von Schuld und Verstrickung in Schuld konfrontieren; und eine Frau namens Lucy Alvarez, die durch die Kraft der Liebe ihr Kind, das ein Erdbeben nicht überlebt zu haben scheint, dem Tod noch entreißen will. Die Nacht der Zeitlosen: ein Geschichten-Mandala aus fünf deutsch-amerikanischen Stories, die Dämmerung und Morgengrauen, unser Ende und unseren Neubeginn spielend umkreisen. Geschichten, die, mit ihrem Bilderreichtum und ihrer Lust am Detail, von der Magie dessen erzählen, daß alles noch so unerklärlich Erscheinende seinen eigenen Gesetzen, seiner eigenen »Wahrheit« folgt. Entstanden ist dabei ein Buch von großer sprachlicher Schönheit und kompositorischer Klarheit, ein spannendes, unprätentiöses, sich jedem Klischee widersetzendes Buch.

Veterinary Practice Management
by Catherine R Coates, Alan Jones, Michael W Coates
Veterinarians are increasingly aware of the need to recognise they are working in a business enterprise. From operating as small practices twenty years ago, veterinary businesses are now run along sophisticated models and operate out of multi-million pound hospitals. Drawing together the latest information on practice management, this textbook provides practical and straightforward coverage of major elements, including client relationships and staff management, business and financial procedures, computer systems and project management. This book covers practice management topics as taught in veterinary schools worldwide, providing students with a textbook resource in this increasingly important subject. It is also a valuable source of information for newly qualified veterinarians, veterinarians interested in practice management and veterinary practice managers.

Heritage Tourism Destinations
Preservation, Communication and Development
by Edited by Maria D. Alvarez, Atila Yüksel, Frank Go
Heritage tourism is tied to myth making and stories; creative content that can be shared, stored, combined and manipulated, but that depends on a unique cultural or natural history. A significant section of the wider phenomenon that is cultural tourism, heritage tourism is a demand-driven industry that continues to be a subject of heated debate in academic circles. Beginning with an overview of the subject, this book considers the conservation and revitalization of heritage destinations, as well as the role local communities have in supporting an attraction. It then discusses product development and communication around the world, using new techniques such as social media and examples from food tourism and sporting events, before a final section reviews the planning and institutionalisation of heritage spaces. A timely conclusion subsequently considers the implications of developments such as globalisation, technological improvement and climate change upon these unique destinations. A valuable addition to the literature, this book is the first to bridge the gap between theory and practice, including the latest research and international case studies for researchers and practitioners in tourism and destination management.

African Smallholders
Food Crops, Markets and Policy
by Hans Holmén, Magnus Jirstrom, Agnes Andersson, Wolday Amha, Fred Dzanku, Willis Olouch-Kosura, John Kadzandira, Olatunji Akande, Bernard Bashaasha, Hyde Haantuba, Peter Coughlin, Stephen K. Wambugu. Edited by Göran Djurfeldt, Ernest Aryeetey, Aida Isinika.
Poverty in sub-Saharan Africa is predominantly a rural and agricultural phenomenon. The large majority of all poor are farmers and herders, therefore as long as the poor remain smallholders, alleviation of poverty remains an agricultural task. African Smallholders documents the farm-level effects of agricultural policies, focusing on a variety of themes including micro-credit, infrastructure, cash crop production and food security. To deepen our understanding of agricultural development it discusses staple food production in sub-Saharan Africa and its response to changing geo-political, macro-economic and agricultural policy. It is a useful resource for all those researching or involved with food security, agricultural and rural development in sub-Saharan Africa.
