Best known as an animal feed, Alfalfa Medicago sativa is one of the most important and widely produced livestock crops grown throughout the temperate world. "Alfalfa and Relatives: Evolution and Classification of Medicago" provides an in-depth introduction to the Medicago genus, exploring its evolution, breeding and adaptation. Not only are Alfalfa's agricultural and environmental benefits unsurpassed but, due to technological advances, this staple crop is now being developed as a source of human food extracts, pharmaceuticals, enzymes, industrial chemicals, and biofuels.

MedicineSeptember 2020Small Animal Veterinary Psychiatry
by Sagi Denenberg, Ali Thompson
Problem behaviours are often the result of how an animal thinks and feels, genetics, and environmental influences. Steering away from just description diagnoses and focusing instead on emotional and cognitive causes, this book provides a practical approach to diagnosing, treating, and managing behaviour pathologies in dogs and cats. Beginning by addressing cases in the first opinion practice, this book then considers physical disorders that may lead to or exacerbate abnormal behavior. From there, the focus shifts to mental and emotional health, from an assessment of normal behavior and giving juveniles an optimal start in life, to diagnosing mental and emotional disorders, addressing emotions such as anxiety and frustration, and how to manage these issues - by modifying behavior, managing the animal's environment, training, and, when necessary, the use of medications. The second half of the book then addresses owner concerns, including management problems, aggression, affective disorder, elimination disorder, abnormal and repetitive behaviours and ageing-related problems. With an emphasis on helping first line veterinarians identify common presentations and offer help to owners, this book: - Addresses both normal and abnormal behaviour in cats and dogs from an emotion and cognition perspective; - Provides behaviour modification protocols, and drug doses and indications; - Includes handouts to be used both within the practice and with clients to help the veterinary surgeon manage the case. Written by international experts, the book translates their insights and experience into approaches taken in behavioural medicine. Also including the most up-to-date drugs, it is an important resource for both small animal veterinarians and students of veterinary medicine or animal behaviour.

Literature & Literary StudiesJanuary 2014Court and civic society in the Burgundian Low Countries c.1420–1530
by Andrew Brown, Graeme Small
This volume is the first ever attempt to unite and translate some of the key texts which informed Johan Huizinga's famous study of the Burgundian court, The Waning of the Middle Ages, a work which has never gone out of print. It combines these texts with sources that Huizinga did not consider, those that illuminate the wider civic world that the Burgundian court inhabited and the dynamic interaction between court and city. Through these sources, and an introduction offering new perspectives on recent historiography, the book tests whether Huizinga's controversial vision of the period still stands. Covering subjects including ceremonial events, such as the spectacles and gargantuan banquets that made the Burgundian dukes the talk of Europe, the workings of the court, and jousting, archery and rhetoric competitions, the book will appeal to students of late medieval and early modern Europe and to those with wider interests in court culture, ritual and ceremony.

Little People, Big Dreams. Deutsche Ausgabe | Kinderbuch ab 4 Jahre
by María Isabel Sánchez Vegara, Olivia Holden, Silke Kleemann
Ernest wuchs auf einer Farm in Irland auf. Aber es zog ihn in die weite Welt. Am liebsten las er Abenteuerromane. Schon als junger Mann nahm er an zwei Expeditionen zum Südpol teil. Ihr Ziel erreichten sie nicht, aber sein Ehrgeiz war so groß, dass er es erneut versuchte – mit einem eigenen Team. Einmal blieb ihr Schiff im Packeis stecken. In einer dramatischen Rettungsaktion gelang es ihm nach vielen Monaten, alle Männer zu retten. Die Menschen liebten ihn, denn er war nicht nur ein großer Polarforscher, sondern auch ein echter Team-Player. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Künstlerin, Pilotin oder Wissenschaftler, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen.

Veterinary medicine: small animals (pets)January 2012Small Animal Soft Tissue Surgery
by Donald Yool
Small Animal Soft Tissue Surgery provides an introduction to the fundamentals of small animal soft tissue surgery, covering the core principles that underpin all surgery, and key areas of general soft tissue surgery undertaken in general small animal practice. Emphasis is placed on current veterinary practice, the application of basic principles and the importance of patient assessment and appropriate decision making. With a practical focus, the book provides a clear, well-illustrated description of a readily applicable technique for each of the potential problems that face new graduates within non-specialist practices. The learning outcomes at the start of each section define the key areas for undergraduates to focus on and self-assessment MCQs at the end of each section help re-inforce learning outcomes. The text also contains information to enable newly qualified graduates to assess more complex conditions that are frequently encountered in small animal practice. For many practitioners who do not develop a strong interest in more advanced surgery, this text will provide a solid surgical text to last throughout their veterinary career. To enhance accessibility to undergraduate students, the text will emphasise the application of a small number of key principles and limit detailed descriptions to a reduced number of key procedures.

This new book reviews all aspects of the phenomenon of mass tourism. It covers theoretical perspectives (including political economy, ethics, sustainability and environmentalism), the historical context, and the current challenges to domestic, intra-regional and international mass tourism. As tourism and tourist numbers continue to grow around the world, it becomes increasingly important that this subject is studied in depth and best practice applied in real-life situations. This book: - Is the first to address a range of theoretical issues relating to mass tourism; - Uses a wide selection of case studies to translate theory into practice, covering the historical rise and fall of UK seaside resorts, the increase in Chinese tourism, conflict between different mass tourism groups, destination transformation from mass to niche tourism, and specific problems facing cruise ships; - Is written by a range of international, established authors to give a global perspective on the subject. Finishing with a speculative chapter identifying potential future trends and challenges, this book forms an essential resource for all researchers and students within tourism studies. ; Section 1: Introduction1: Introduction: Mass Tourism in a Small WorldSection 2: Theoretical Approaches to Mass Tourism2: Mass Tourism Does Not Need Defending3: The Morality of Mass Tourism4: The Political Economy of Mass Tourism and its Contradictions5: A Theoretical Approach to Mass Tourism in Italy6: Sustainability and Mass Tourism: A Contradiction in Terms?7: Mass Tourism and the Environment: Issues and DilemmasSection 3: Historical Studies of Tourism Development8: The Dynamics of Tourism Development in Britain: The Profit Motive and that ‘Curious’ Alliance of Private Capital and the Local State9: From Holiday Camps to the All-inclusive: the ‘Butlinization’ of Tourism10: Decline Beside the Seaside: British Seaside Resorts and Declinism11: Mass Tourism and the US National Park Service System12: Transport and Tourism: The Perpetual LinkSection 4: Case Studies in Modern Mass Tourism13: Mass Tourism and China14: Mass Tourism in Thailand: The Chinese and Russians15: Mass Tourism in Bulgaria: The Force Awakens16: Mass Tourism in Mallorca: Examples from Calivià17: Tunisia: Mass Tourism in Crisis?18: From Blue to Grey?

April 2024Farm Animal Medicine and Surgery for Small Animal Veterinarians
by Graham R Duncanson
Small animal veterinarians are increasingly taking on caseloads that include farm animals, with cases being presented by local hobby farmers, smallholders, and 'novelty pet' owners. With the increase in veterinary telemedicine, they now also receive requests for advice electronically from owners further afield. Recognising this trend, this book provides a quick reference for small-animal orientated veterinarians in the basics of surgery and treatment of farm animals. Popular animals such as cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, camelids and backyard poultry are covered, and basic techniques such as anaesthesia, clinical examination techniques, breeding, surgery and euthanasia are discussed. This new edition: - Expands on recent developments in all areas of medicine and surgery, covering advances such as the increased use of ultrasound across species and adding a new section on anthelmintics. - Provides updates on current major disease threats, as well as providing a One Health perspective. - Includes full colour images to help bring the subject to life. Ideal for looking up information during a consult, or for use as a refresher guide and continuing professional development resource, this book is an important tool for veterinarians in small and mixed practices.

Children's & YADecember 2014The Small Plover
by MAO Bing
Stationed on the outskirts in Japan, after a few months' careful observation, the Chinese artist created the book about natural ecology. The book takes a small animal — the small plover as the main character, depicting their living condition and the relationship between them and nature, telling about the fortitude of life. In April, the little plover flies back. She builds a little nest amidst the gravel and lays three tiny eggs. One day, when the little plover is out foraging, a huge crow jumps out at the nest and grabs the tiny eggs away. The little plover is so sad about her eggs and her failure to fight against the crow. She has to find somewhere else to start from the beginning. After months of careful preparation and safeguard, this time her little plover babies are born safe and sound. After overcoming various difficulties like the insecticide incident and the night cat risk, the plover babies are turning into fully fledged grown-ups. On a sunny day after the rain, a group of little plovers fly against the rainbow, saying goodbye to their mother land, and heads right towards the vast ocean.

March 2006Vernarbte Herzen
Roman
by M. Blecher, Ernest Wichner, Ernest Wichner
Aus der unmittelbaren Unwirklichkeit von M. Blecher (1909–1938) gilt als ein Meilenstein der mitteleuropäischen Moderne. Ernest Wichners Übersetzung – mit Herta Müllers leidenschaftlichem Plädoyer, Blecher zu lesen, als Nachwort – ist als Band 1367 der Bibliothek Suhrkamp erschienen. Nun folgt der 1937, ein Jahr nach der Unmittelbaren Unwirklichkeit, erstmals veröffentlichte autobiographische Roman Vernarbte Herzen. Erzählt wird die Geschichte des 21jährigen Emanuel, eines rumänischen Chemiestudenten in Paris, der an Knochentuberkulose erkrankt und fast ein Jahr in einem französischen Sanatorium am Atlantik verbringt. Er gerät in die Gesellschaft der Kranken, eine faszinierende Welt für sich, aus der sich selbst die Geheilten nur schwer wieder befreien können. »Das Paradox aller bedeutenden Kunst gilt auch hier, in Blechers wunderbarer Prosa: Das so suggestiv beschriebene Unglück wird zum intellektuellen Glück des Lesers.« Harald Hartung, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

March 2016Beleuchtete Höhle
Sanatoriumstagebuch
by M. Blecher, Ernest Wichner, Ernest Wichner
«Es ist dies ein Buch, von dem man sich nach der Lektüre nicht vorstellen kann, es jemals nicht gekannt zu haben», schrieb die FAZ über M. Blechers Sanatoriumsroman Vernarbte Herzen (BS 1399). Sein letztes Werk, die Beleuchtete Höhle, das er nicht mehr korrigieren konnte, schreibt den Roman fort. Unverhüllt autobiographisch und mit einer atemberaubenden Klarheit erzählt der noch nicht 30jährige Autor (1909 - 1938), wie ihm, dem hoffnungslos Erkrankten, in Augenblicken größten Leidens die Zusammenhänge des Lebens, die geheimnisvollen Übergänge zwischen Realität, Traum und Schreiben einsichtig werden. Blechers Poetologie des Leidens kontrapunktiert seine Erzählungen aus Berck, die expressionistischen Schilderungen von Paris oder die Reminiszenzen an ein Sanatorium in Rumänien. Ernest Wichners umfangreicher Essay gibt erstmals Einblick in die bisher nur bruchstückhaft bekannte Biographie des Autors, der heute, 70 Jahre nach seinem Tod, weltweit entdeckt wird.

May 1985Marxistische Wirtschaftstheorie. 1. Band
Aus dem Französischen von Lothar Boepple
by Ernest Mandel, Lothar Boepple
Das 1962 in Paris erschienene Werk Ernest Mandels beschreitet nicht den Weg einer orthodoxen Apologie des marxistischen Dogmas, auch nicht den einer revisionistischen Anpassung an die heutigen Gegebenheiten. Es ist eine systematische Entfaltung der Marxschen Theorie, aber nicht wie diese an Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft des 19. Jahrhunderts orientiert, sondern auf die gegenwärtige Industriegesellschaft bezogen, also zugleich eine marxistische Analyse dieser Gesellschaft und ihrer Entwicklungstendenzen. Das Buch läßt sich schwer ignorieren, weder von den bürgerlichen noch von den sozialistischen Fachleuten; es exemplifiziert ein zugleich analytisches und systematisches Denken, das die herrschende Nationalökonomie weitgehend verlernt hat oder im Namen des Bestehenden verschmäht.

Autopsy stories: the unusual experiences of a pathologist
by Roland Sedivy
— True crime stories from the morgue — Famous deaths and autopsy stories resolved, such as Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton and the case of Anne Greene, who survived her execution by hanging The post-mortem examination. A glimpse inside the interior of the human being. Many find the idea fascinating; for others it is creepy or even repugnant. There are still numerous myths and horror stories surrounding the autopsy, many of them associated with primal human fears such as that of being buried alive, which have existed since Antiquity. It is precisely for this reason that it is important to carry out the post-mortem examination with the utmost conscientiousness. Pathologist Roland Sedivy provides an exciting insight into his profession. Profound and with tremendous humour, he tells us about the early days of the autopsy, and shares with us some macabre and some mysterious cases.

April 2007Bloch. Eine Bildmonographie
by Ernst Bloch Zentrum Ludwigshafen, Karl-Heinz Weigand
Ernst Bloch ist mehr als einer der großen Philosophen der Gegenwart: Er ist eine Jahrhundertgestalt. Sein Leben und Werk spiegeln die enormen historischen wie politischen Verwerfungen des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts und bündeln auch viele seiner zentralen intellektuellen Fragen. Heute, dreißig Jahre nach Blochs Tod, gilt es, die Details seines wechselvollen Lebens und die vielfältigen Aspekte seines Werkes neu in den Blick zu nehmen und mit ihnen ein Jahrhundert zwischen Utopie und Exil, Messianismus und Politik. Die Bildmonographie zeichnet das Zusammenspiel von Leben und Werk nach. Für diesen opulent ausgestatteten Band wird zum ersten Mal eine Vielzahl von bisher unbekannten Materialien aus dem Bloch-Archiv und Bloch-Nachlaß erschlossen.
