Agriculture & related industriesOctober 2007Organic Farming
An International History
by William Lockeretz, Jessica Aschemann, Thomas Cierpka, Gunter Vogt, Michael Sligh, Deborah H Stinner, Urs Niggli, Susanne Padel, Otto Schmid, Bernard Geier, Philip Conford, Inger Källander, Dina Foguelman, Els Wynen, Katherine DiMatteo
Beginning as a small protest to the industrialization of agriculture in the 1920s, organic farming has become a significant force in agricultural policy, marketing, and research. No longer dismissed as unscientific and counterproductive, organic techniques are now taken seriously by farmers, consumers, scientists, food processors, marketers, and regulatory agencies in much of the world. Organic farming is both dynamic and forward-looking but is also rooted in tradition. It is these traditions that can provide valuable starting points in debates over how organic farming should meet new challenges such as globalization, the emergence of new production techniques, and growing concern over equity and social justice in agriculture. Complementing general discussions with case histories of important organic institutions in various countries, this comprehensive discussion is the first to explore the development of organic agriculture. This title is now also available in paperback.

Food & DrinkSeptember 2018Brick Lane Cookbook
by Dina Begum
Brick Lane is famous for many things: for being home to the biggest Bangladeshi community in the UK, for its curry houses and Bengali sweet shops, for its graffiti, its long-running market and its beigel shops. Now, its also increasingly well known for its thriving art and fashion scene and the incredible street food available there. Dina Begum has been a regular visitor since she was a little girl eating lamb kofta rolls with her dad at the Sweet & Spicy cafe. In her first book, she celebrates Brick Lane's diverse food cultures: from the homestyle Bangladeshi curries she grew up eating to her own luscious and indulgent cakes, from Chinese-style burgers to classic Buffalo wings, from smoothie bowls to raw coffee brownies. With contributions from street food traders and restaurants including Gram Bangla, Beigel Bake, Blanchette, Chez Elles, St Sugar of London, Cafe 1001 and Moo Cantina, the Brick Lane Cookbook is a culinary map of the East End's tastiest street and a snapshot of London at its authentic, multi-cultural best.

Chapter-V explains determination of optimum dose of anaesthetics namely Benzocaine and MS-222 of fishes and its effect on the oxygen uptake. The information is helpful for the calculation of decrease of oxygen requirement during packing of fishes. Chapter-VI deals with effect of ammonia on ultra structure of gill under scanning electron microscope and oxygen uptake of fishes.

Self-help & personal developmentYou Are What You Imagine
3 Steps to a New Beginning Using Imagework
by Dina Glouberman (Dr)
This is a practical book that guides the reader step by step from difficult times through a turning point to a new beginning. Each chapter includes a section entitled Spiritual Gym, which features imagery exercises relevant to that chapter. Dr Glouberman's website will host MP3 downloads to help guide the reader through the exercises. The content is based on a 3-step approach to new beginnings: 1. The catalyst: the life event or inner search that gets the person moving. 2. The turning point: an expansion in perspective on oneself and life. This includes an acceptance of present feelings and situations, a connection with deeper and more stable levels of oneself, and a vision of the possible futures. 3. The new beginning: accepting the vision without expecting to be “happy ever after”. The various stages of the process are illustrated through quotes and accounts from interviews with friends and colleagues, as well as prominent figures. Interviewees include Chad Varah, founder of the Samaritans, Gabrielle Roth, Five Rhythms creator, actor Michael York and poet and men’s movement founder Robert Bly. The book combines a chatty, approachable and humorous style with original insights of subtlety and depth, as well as state-of-the-art utilisation of imagery throughout.

2018Shubeik Lubeik
by Dina Mohamed Yehia
A graphic novel trilogy set in an imagined modern Cairo, where first-class wishes are sold in bottles and third-class wishes are sold in cans, and the more expensive the wishes, the more powerful their ability to fulfill dreams. Sadly, the majority of the population can only afford the cheaper, third-class wishes. Shubeik Lubeik is the story of three first-class wishes and how they affect the lives of three characters trying to achieve their dreams in a wildly classist society. In the first book of the trilogy, we meet Aziza, a hard-working woman who falls in love with Abdo, who is later taken away from her. We see human loss and regret, and we understand what it means for humans to have the right to wishes. In some scenes, Yehia reminds us of Franz Kafka’s parable “Before the Law,” where the protagonist struggles against a bureaucratic system that denies him access to a better life. This is a story about perseverance, persistence, and love in a largely dystopian society.
