        Big Deals with Alternative Medicine

        by Beate Frenkel

        The market is growing for homeopathic remedies, diets and all kinds of miracle cures. Although homeopathic practitioners in Germany are largely unregulated, their supporters are growing in number. An industry has sprung up around alternative medicine that draws on the mistrust towards the pharmaceutical industry, medicine and the media. Many products are as harmless as they are ineffective – but some are dangerous or even lethal. Beate Frenkel investigates: where is the source of this boom? What role do conspiracy theories play as well as the influence of the internet? Why do politicians and the German Medical Association take so few preventive steps? Powerful examples are backed up with statements from doctors, patients and alternative medicine practitioners.

        The Cinema of Cecilia Bartolomé

        Feminism and Francoism

        by Sally Faulkner

        Were it not for authoritarian state censorship, Cecilia Bartolomé's name would figure alongside those of her contemporaries Agnès Varda and Claire Denis as a pioneering feminist filmmaker of the twentieth century. With this bold claim, this book seeks both to write the history of Bartolomé's extant filmography, and speculative about censored and un-filmed work, thereby fashioning a new way of writing a feminist creative life in film. The first volume on this director to be written in English, The Cinema of Cecilia Bartolomé is also the first volume on the director published in any language for over twenty years. By focusing on Spanish-language cinema of the 1960s-1990s, the period when feminism, like democracy, was re-born and seemingly consolidated in Spain, the study brings historical depth and transnational reach to current debates in the wake of #MeToo.

        Quantitative Genetics, Genomics and Plant Breeding

        by Manjit S Kang

        Since the first edition of this book was published in 2002, the field of quantitative genetics, genomics and breeding has changed markedly. To meet this challenge, this new edition has only five updated chapters; the remaining 17 chapters are entirely new. This book presents state-of-the-art, authoritative chapters on 1) Genomics, Quantitative Trait Loci and Molecular Breeding (11 chapters) and 2) Multi-environment Trials and Plant Breeding (11 chapters). These chapters emphasise the application of genomics and genome editing techniques in the context of plant breeding, and the latest in examining genotype X environment interactions in the field through applying quantitative genetics techniques. There is a particular focus on using genomic information to help evaluate traits that can combat abiotic stresses, genome-wide association mapping, high-throughput phenotyping, bioinformatics and the use of big data and gene editing techniques. Chapters describe breeding approaches that help make use of alien germplasm and enable biofortification, and the intergration of statistical techniques. Examples are taken from across crop science and a very wide geographical base.

        Als ich unter Sternen schlief

        by Pius Alibek, Cecilia Dreymueller

        Ein Lebensweg vom Orient in den Westen, lebendig und farbig erzählt wie ein Roman – eine Geschichte von glücklicher Kindheitsheimat, Entwurzelung und vitalem Neuanfang. Seine Kindheit im gerade in die Unabhängigkeit entlassenen Irak der 50er Jahre gleicht einer orientalischen Erzählung: Pius wächst behütet und abenteuerlich zugleich mit elf Geschwistern in einer Familie auf, die der ältesten christlichen Gemeinde angehört und ihre eigenen Traditionen bewahrt; seine Muttersprache ist das biblische Aramäisch. Im großen Familienclan werden die Gesetze der Gastfreundschaft und des Respekts für den anderen gelebt. Die friedliche Gemeinschaft verschiedener Völker – Araber, Kurden, Armenier und Turkomanen – im Norden des Iraks wird zu einer entscheidenden Prägung für ihn. Doch es sind die Jahre, in denen sich Saddam Husseins Baath-Partei des Iraks bemächtigt. Die Familie flieht in den Süden, erlebt das Exil im eigenen Land. Widerstandsgeist und Religiosität bringen Pius ins Priesterseminar, die Zustände im Jesuitenkolleg und die Enttäuschung über theologische Engstirnigkeit vertreiben ihn jedoch bald. Er ergreift die Chance, englische Literatur in Bagdad zu studieren. Bei einem Studienaufenthalt in London verliebt er sich in ein katalanisches Mädchen: eine Explosion der Sinne nach der Dürre der Seminarzeit. Doch erst durch die Begegnung mit den Wundern und Schrecken der Wüste, die er während seines Militärdienstes kennenlernt, reift der junge Mann zu seiner wahren Bestimmung heran. Ein Überraschungserfolg in Katalonien, wochenlang Platz 1 der Bestsellerliste. »Dies ist reine erzählerische Energie.« Jaume Cabré

        Quantitative Genetics, Genomics and Plant Breeding

        by Edited by Manjit S Kang

        This book provides an overview of the rapidly developing integration and interdependence of quantitative genetics, genomics, bioinformatics and their application to plant breeding. Chapters have been developed from a symposium held in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in March 2001, although additional contributions have also been commissioned especially for this volume. The main topics covered include: quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, genomics, bioinformatics and marker-assisted selection; tissue culture and alien introgression for crop improvement; and advances in genotype by environment interaction/stability analysis.
