        by Sine Heitmann, Peter U C Dieke, Crispin Dale, Glen Croy, Patsy Morgan, Helen Farrell, Gemma Gelder, Duncan Marson, Ade Oriade, Ghislaine Povey, Christine Roberts, Geoff Shirt, Carol Southall, Richard Tresidder, Peter Wiltshier. Edited by Peter Robinson, Sine Heitmann, Peter U C Dieke.

        Tourism studies at Masters level are often divided into subsets of tourism such as environmental tourism, rural tourism and sports tourism. Now available in paperback, this textbook provides an overview of types of tourism, and common themes studied in courses to allow undergraduate students to become familiar with a wide range of tourism topics at a foundation level, allowing them to make an informed decision about their future studies and career. It will also be a useful text for providing a broad brush introduction to the major topics that are covered in undergraduate courses. Popular subjects like urban tourism, festivals and events and heritage and cultural tourism are covered.

        The Best of H. C. Artmann

        by H. C. Artmann, Klaus Reichert

        Von allen deutschen Autoren, die nach 1945 zu schreiben begannen, ist Artmann ohne jeden Zweifel der vielseitigste, originellste und erfinderischste. So wie Artmann in fast allen Gattungen gearbeitet hat, auch den angeblich antiquierten, und ohne sich um die Tagesparolen der mal reine Dichtung betreibenden, mal engagierten, mal die Literatur totsagenden Kollegen zu kümmern, so hat er seine Quellen, seine Herkunft überall: in der Artusepik, in barocker Schäferpoesie, in den Wörterbüchern und Grammatiken von gut zwei Dutzend Sprachen, in Irland und im England des Sherlock Holmes, bei Villon und dem Wiener Vorstadtdialekt, Lorca, Gomez de la Serna, den Surrealisten und Dadaisten, in den Detektivheftchen der 20er Jahre und den Comic strips von damals bis heute. Unsere Auswahl versucht, nicht nur einen repräsentativen Querschnitt durch das Werk Artmanns zu geben, sondern gleichzeitig Verstreutes, an entlegensten Orten Publiziertes zu sammeln.

        Was du nicht alles kannst!

        by Davina Bell, Allison Colpoys, Kathrin Köller

        Fledermäuse basteln, die Uhr lesen, Schiffchen bauen, malen, auf Drachen reiten, andere trösten, auf der Ukulele schrammeln, Schätze suchen, auf andere zugehen, Fragen stellen, tanzen, tagträumen – es gibt viel wichtigere Sachen im Leben eines Kindes als ›besser – schneller – weiter‹, als Schularbeiten und Tests, nämlich Fantasie und Herzensbildung und jede Menge Lebensfreude. Davina Bell und Allison Colpoys rauschen mit den Leserinnen und Lesern in gewitzten Reimen und knallig-fröhlichen Bildern durch all das, worin Kinder jeden Tag ganz nebenbei aufgehen und glänzen. Und zeigen dabei: Jeder kann etwas anderes gut, denn jeder ist einzigartig. Dieses lebendige, farbenfrohe Buch feiert all die Dinge, die jedes einzelne Kind ausmachen und ihm Wert verleihen – und das ist mehr als gute Noten, Stillsitzen und Bravsein.

        The Papal Reform of the Eleventh Century

        Lives of Pope Leo IX and Pope Gregory VII

        by I. Robinson

        The eleventh-century papal reform transformed western European Church and society and permanently altered the relations of Church and State in the west. The reform was inaugurated by Pope Leo IX (1048-54) and given a controversial change of direction by Pope Gregory VII (1073-85). This book contains the earliest biographies of both popes, presented here for the first time in English translation with detailed commentaries. The biographers of Leo IX were inspired by his universally acknowledged sanctity, whereas the biographers of Gregory VII wrote to defend his reputation against the hostility generated by his reforming methods and his conflict with King Henry IV. Also included is a translation of Book to a Friend, written by Bishop Bonizo of Sutri soon after the death of Gregory VII, as well as an extract from the violently anti-Gregorian polemic of Bishop Benzo of Alba (1085) and the short biography of Leo IX composed in the papal curia in the 1090s by Bishop Bruno of Segni. These fascinating narrative sources bear witness to the startling impact of the papal reform and of the 'Investiture Contest', the conflict of empire and papacy that was one of its consequences. An essential collection of translated texts for students of medieval history.

        Alfie und der Clownfisch

        by Davina Bell, Allison Colpoys, Salah Naoura

        Der kleine Alfie möchte zu gerne zur Verkleidungsparty in der Schule gehen, sein Kostüm – ein Seestern – liegt schon bereit. Doch kurz davor verlässt ihn der Mut – er ist einfach zu schüchtern. Seine Mutter geht stattdessen mit ihm ins Aquarium, wo Alfie staunend vor der großen Glasscheibe steht und einen Clownfisch beobachtet, der sich kurz zeigt und dann gleich wieder zwischen den Korallen versteckt. »Manchmal müssen Clownfische sich einfach verstecken. So sind sie einfach«, sagt Alfies Mutter. »Menschen auch«, sagt Alfie. Doch bei der nächsten Verkleidungsparty traut er sich – im Kostüm eines Clownfischs. In wunderbar warmem Ton und poetischen Bildern erzählen Davina Bell und Allison Colpoys davon, dass man sich manchmal die Bettdecke über den Kopf ziehen muss und es einfach ein bisschen dauert, bis man bereit ist für die Welt da draußen.

        Nematodes as Model Organisms

        by Itamar Glazer, David I Shapiro-llan, Paul W. Sternberg

        Nematodes, which are small multi cellular organisms have been used as biological models since the 1960's. The nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans is a free-living nematode, about 1mm in length, that lives in temperate soil environments. It is made up of about 1000 cells, and has a short life cycle of only 2 weeks. It was the first multicellular organism to have its whole genome sequenced. The book includes chapters that summarize the importance of nematodes as model organisms in the fields of genetics, developmental biology, neurobiology, pharmacology, nutrition, ecology and parasitology. Of interest to a broad audience across a wide spectrum of disciplines, the book is useful for biologists working on comparative studies to investigate biological processes across organisms; medical scientists and pharmacologist for exploration of drugs and medicine (including the use of genome editing to eliminate diseases); ecologists considering nematodes as indicators for environment changes; and parasitologists for host-parasite interactions. Many other researchers can use this book as a benchmark for the broad implications of nematology research on other aspects of science.

        Corona Chaos. Confessions from a pharmacist

        by Simon Krivec

        More than two years of pandemic is more than two years of corona clutter. Only a staggering level of helpfulness, improvisation and flexibility prevented the healthcare system from collapsing completely. In this highly topical book, pharmacist Simon Krivec tells of his incredible experiences and the stormy ups and downs of pandemic madness, missing masks and disinfectants, and the feeling of having been totally abandoned by a helpless state. We learn, for instance, of the short-term procurement of large quantities of ethanol and the transportation of the highly flammable substance, and just what lured the author – and 71,400 euros in cash – to visit the port of Neuss at night.
