Taking a disease-based approach, Fish Viruses and Bacteria: Pathobiology and Protection focuses on the pathobiology of and protective strategies against the most common, major microbial pathogens of economically important marine and freshwater fish. The book covers well-studied, notifiable piscine viruses and bacteria, including new and emerging diseases which can become huge threats to local fish populations in new geographical regions if transported there via infected fish or eggs. A concise but thorough reference work, this book: - Covers key viral and bacterial diseases of notable fish species; - Reviews major well-established piscine pathogens as well as new, emerging and notifiable diseases; and - Contains the most up-to-date research contributed by a team of over fifty world experts. An invaluable bench book for fish health consultants, veterinarians and all those wanting instant access to information, this book is also a useful textbook for students specializing in fish health and research scientists initiating fish disease research programmes. ; Taking a disease-based approach, this book focuses on the pathobiology of and protective strategies against the most common, major microbial pathogens of economically important marine and freshwater fish.

This book describes entomopathogenic and slug parasitic nematodes as potential biocontrol agents in crop insect and slug pest management. Addressing research on these two nematodes from tropical, subtropical and temperate countries, it covers the new techniques and major developments regarding mass production, formulation, application, commercialization and safety measures. Plans for future strategies to make these beneficial nematodes cost-effective and expand their use by including them in integrated pest management programmes in different agro-ecosystems are also discussed. Biocontrol Agents: Entomopathogenic and Slug Parasitic Nematodes provides a comprehensive review of the topic and is an essential resource for researchers, industry practitioners and advanced students in the fields of biological control and integrated pest management. ; This book gives a comprehensive account of entomopathogenic and slug parasitic nematodes as potential biocontrol agents in crop insect and slug pest management in tropical, subtropical and temerpate countries.

Arigatou enjoy-and-more, the author's first novel, is a fragmented chronicle. In it a sometimes humorous and sometimes contemplative gaze travels through the masses, buildings and lights of Tokyo, and the isolation of the volcano, Lake Ashi and the view of Fuji in Hakone. Wabi sabi, kintsugi, yugen, ramen, robots, alcohol, suicide, snippets of a country with ideas of beauty and silence attached to the flow of life and eternal adaptation.
A naked corpse, a strange angel, a turbulent Barcelona and an investigation that will lead to an astonishing outcome. Barcelona, November 1909. Gabriel Martín, a young priest, is found murdered in the city’s Cathedral neighborhood – his body is naked and there are strange marks on his back that look like wings. Inspector Ignasi Requesens is in charge of investigating what happened. But who could be responsible? Father Martín’s congregation included devoted high-society ladies, Pueblo Nuevo factory workers and slum-dwellers from the Pekín area. Many believed that the priest was actually an angel; few knew the real, complex personality of the murdered man. Why was his body abandoned like that, naked and in the middle of the night? Could it be the work of the authorities to distract attention from the events of the Tragic Week? And what are the unusual marks on his back? A series of other deaths complicates the investigation even further until Inspector Requesens manages to reveal the unexpected truth of what happened.
Organized by Fernanda Arêas Peixoto, professor at the Department of Anthropology of the University of São Paulo, and Adrián Gorelik, professor at the University of Quilmes, this book is the result of a collective research project about the cultural urban history in South America, which was developed by a group of South American researchers. Using as a compass the notion of “cultural arena”, this work performs a reflection on the city as a place of cultural germination, experimentation and resistance. Some cities – Buenos Aires, Santiago, Lima, Recife, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Salvador, Montevideo, among others – are studied in order to capture the intimate and inextricable relations between city and culture.
Immigration Cinema in the New Europe examines a variety of films from the early 1990s that depict and address the lives and identities of both first-generation immigrants and children of the diaspora in Europe. Whether they are authored by immigrants themselves or by white Europeans who use the resources and means of production of dominant cinema to politically engage with the immigrants’ predicaments, these films, Isolina Ballesteros shows, are unmappable—a condition resulting from immigration cinema’s re-combination and deliberate blurring of filmic conventions pertaining to two or more genres. In an age of globalization and increased migration, this book theorizes immigration cinema in relation to notions such as gender, hybridity, transculturation, border crossing, transnationalism, and translation.

What’s more the report also shows she had taken laudanum just before her death. In the turbulent Barcelona leading up to Barcelona’s Tragic Week, nothing is what it seems, neither is Elsie’s innocence intact. The investigation becomes entangled with another tragic death that happened many years earlier in the exact same place, involving espionage and a kidnapping... A new chal- lenge for Inspector Requesens.
A murder mystery, a tenacious detective, and the bourgeoisie of early twentieth-century Barcelona. Barcelona, 1909. Countess Victoria of Cardona is murdered during a lavish masked ball at the Lyceum opera house. She is discovered with a blow to her head and wearing a valuable ruby ring that had gone missing a long time before. This would not be the only death at the Grand Opera House. In- spector Ignasi Requesens undertakes the investigation, but there seem to have been no witnesses to the crime. Members of the city’s nobility, choralists, entrepreneurs, scroung- ers, stagehands, prostitutes, bastards, mediums, and social climbers parade through the pages of this thriller, which beyond the mystery of the Countess’ murder, immerses the reader in the convulsive years of turn-of-the-century Barce- lona. Of course, nothing is what it seems, and despite the silence of those implicated, Requesens finds answers that will compromise the good name of some of Barcelona’s most eminent families. Will they allow the inspector to re- veal the truth behind the Countess of Cardona’s murder? Who was behind the disappearance of the ruby ring and the death of the Lyceum’s manager? Who really was Victoria de Cardona and what secrets was she hiding?
O livro de Ney Piacentini sobre o ator, diretor e professor Eugênio Kusnet preenche uma imperdoável lacuna sobre a influencia e o significado do trabalho de um dos mais influentes personagens da historia do moderno teatro brasileiro. Kusnet participou da formação dos dois mais importantes grupos que já tivemos, o Arena e o Oficina, ensinando e treinando nossos atores a trabalhar seus papéis, baseado numa peculiar e meticulosa abordagem do método do diretor, ator e teórico russo, Constantin Stanislasvski. Piacentini é ator de um dos mais valiosos grupos teatrais da atualidade a Cia do Latão, e foi presidente da Cooperativa Paulista de Teatro, agremiação fruto do trabalho de gerações, pioneira e fundamental no desenvolvimento do teatro paulista. Ney narra a trajetória do mestre Kusnet por meio de documentos, reportagens e, principalmente, depoimentos de prestigiosos profissionais como Fernanda Montenegro, Renato Borghi, Walmor Chagas, José Renato, Flávio Migliaccio, Miriam Mehler, Maria Della Costa e José Celso Martinez Correa. Um livro escrito com a inspirada devoção de quem entende o teatro como estímulo transformador. Essencial para quem se interessa pela nossa arte. — Paulo Betti
