July 2016Rice
by Su Tong
Rice is a collection of fictional works by Su Tong, which includes Rice, Three Lamps and Fish of the People. Rice, a tale of desire, agony, existence and destruction, is a novel Su Tong wrote in the early 1990s. It depicts the samsara-like life of a man who migrated to the city by train to run away from famine and who eventually returns to his hometown also by train. The wandering life in a strange place is the basic generalization of his life and his death on the way home marks the climax of the whole story. Rice is the most noteworthy one among the few novels Su Tong has written so far.

Agronomy & crop productionApril 1997Sustainability of Rice Farming
by Edited by D J Greenland
Rice has supported a greater number of people for a longer period of time than any other crop. Nearly half of the global population is dependent on rice as its major staple food. While Asia remains the main centre of production and consumption of rice, the importance of rice is increasing rapidly in Africa and Latin America, and exports of rice from the United States and Australia are of major importance to the world rice trade. This book explores the factors which have contributed to the sustainability of rice production over the eight or nine thousand years for which rice has been produced. Sustainability is defined as the maintenance or improvement of production levels and protection of natural resources, within the context of economic viability and social acceptability. The author covers a wide range of issues, including soil fertility, plant breeding, pest management, irrigation, land degradation and social and economic factors. Greatest emphasis is placed on the special features of wetland rice production, and the importance of the nutrient balance. It is also shown that without the Green Revolution there would have been a period of mass starvation in Asia, a problem which continues to threaten and which will be unavoidable unless the successes of the Green Revolution can be sustained. The book provides a unique review of the sustainability of the production of the world’s most important crop, and should be of interest to students, research workers and policy makers in agriculture, soil science, and agricultural economics and food policies, as well as all interested in development in the third world.

January 2023Wolf Walk Thousands of Miles
by Mu Ling
This volume consists of three middle-grade stories, "Wolf Walk Thousands of Miles" "A Short Biography of Rooster 'Fighting Tiger'" and "The Ice Fox". "Wolf Walk Thousands of Miles" tells the story of a small pack of wolves rescued by human beings and released into the mountains. Under the guidance of their parents, the wolves grow up in the "greenhouse", gradually adapting to the crisis-ridden wilderness, and live happily. When the hunting dog escapes its owner and returns to the mountains, it destroys the peace and quiet there. A cub is killed, and the male wolf, desperate to protect his son, is killed by a poacher's forgotten hunting gear. Without their tough leader, the "tame" wolves are in an unprecedented predicament. They meander for thousands of miles, and through grueling trials and tribulations, quickly grow into self-reliant hunters and defenders of the mountains and forests. A short biography of the cockerel. "Fighting Tiger" is about the extraordinary adventures of a chicken. Through the whimsical "training" of two urban and rural schoolchildren, this small rooster, which had once circled a tiger in a zoo, nearly became the "black horse" in the "cockfighting" competition. The Ice Fox used to be a hunting dog. After the hunting ban, the village has become a folkloric tourist area, and the ice fox, which used to be favored by the hunters, has been given a cold shoulder. Unwilling to be lonely, it even attacked the pets brought by the tourists, and broke into trouble again and again. Lonely hound finally recovered its nature in nature, found friends, and recovered the happiness belonging to a family dog.

Agriculture & related industriesFebruary 1997Asian Rice Bowls: The Returning Crisis?
by Prabhu L Pingali, Mahabub Hossain, Roberta V Gerpacio
Less than two decades ago, the world was focusing on the impending food crisis across Asia, which was given little hope of ever being able to meet its rapidly growing food demand. Since then, Asia has made a quantum leap in food production. Technological innovations and policies that promoted intensive rice production systems helped achieve this. The authors of this book argue that there is a growing sense of complacency about future food supplies in Asia and that such complacency is not warranted. While rice productivity may increase, this will be limited by a number of factors: withdrawal of land and labor from agriculture to other uses, increased competition for resources, and land degradation. It is unlikely to match the increase in demand for rice because of population growth. The book provides a thorough assessment of the opportunities for increasing land productivity, including crop diversification. It evaluates the successes and limitations of the Green Revolution for rice in Asia and projects economic and technological trends forward over the next three decades.

March 2005»Daß der Mensch zum Menschen werde«
Dichtungen, Schriften, Briefe
by Friedrich Schiller, Norbert Oellers, Norbert Oellers
Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805) war Dichter und Philosoph, Historiker, Arzt und Hochschulprofessor. Vor allem aber gilt er als einer der bedeutendsten deutschen Dramatiker. Werke wie Kabale und Liebe, Wilhelm Tell oder Die Räuber stehen auch international regelmäßig auf den Spielplänen der Theater. Zudem gilt er als wichtigster deutschsprachiger Balladendichter (u. a. Die Bürgschaft, Der Taucher). Charakteristisch für Schillers Werke ist die Macht der Sprache, die für Emotion und Freiheitsdrang zu einer Zeit absolutistischer Herrschaft steht. Prägend für das späte Werk Schillers wurde der Gedankenaustausch mit Geistesgrößen wie Goethe, Herder und Lessing während seiner letzten sechs Lebensjahre im thüringischen Weimar.

March 2005Friedrich Schiller
by Volker C. Dörr, Volker C. Dörr
In einer Zeit großer politischer Umwälzungen, in Sorge um seine finanzielle Existenz, von Krankheit gezeichnet, schrieb Friedrich Schiller Literatur, die von der Spannung zwischen dem Ideal und dem Leben geprägt ist. Längst sind seine Werke kanonisch geworden, sie werden viel gelesen, oft parodiert und noch häufiger verkürzt – auf die berühmten Dichterworte über das Wahre, Gute, Schöne.

October 2009Werktage I
Arbeitsbuch 1977-1989
by Volker Braun
Unbekanntes, hoch Wichtiges ist zu vermelden. Volker Braun hat, beginnend im Januar 1977, bis in die Gegenwart ein Werktagebuch geführt. Dessen erster Band, teils kurze, teils längere Notate, erlaubt nicht allein den erhellenden Einblick in die Werkstatt des »lauteren, spielwütigen Autors«. Solche Mitschriften des täglichen Lebens machen erfahrbar, wie Volker Braun sich und seine Arbeit, die Kollegen und die politische Situation – in Ost und West – sieht. Und seine Beobachtungen, mal giftig, mal ironisch, Reflexionen und Erzählungen zeigen erneut die Kunst dieses Dramatikers, Lyrikers und Prosaisten: Mit jedem Satz von ihm steigert er humoristisch-traurig die Einsicht in die Verbesserungswürdigkeit und Verbesserungsnotwendigkeit unserer Lage. In diesem Lebens-, Lese- und Arbeitsbuch ist also zu erfahren, wie Volker Braun nach der Publikation der Unvollendeten Geschichte – 1975 in der DDR, 1977 in der BRD – seine Dramen zum Druck befördert und auf die Bühne bringt, wie er listig den Hinze-und Kunze-Roman zuerst in Frankfurt und dann in Halle veröffentlicht, was die im Westen so alles mit ihm anstellen, warum er 1988 das Stück Lenins Tod schreibt, und im Jahr 1989 der erste Band seiner Werkausgabe erscheint.

August 2002Angela Davis löscht ihre Website
Listen, Refrains, Abbildungen
by Andreas Neumeister
»Erst wenn schließlich auch die Werbeblöcke gestrichen werden,« so eine zuverlässige Faustregel, »ist die Sache wirklich ernst.« Eine weltmachterschütternde Kamikaze-Aktion oder wenigstens ein rekordverdächtiger Amoklauf vor der eigenen Haustür – es muß knüppeldick kommen, um die tägliche Infotainment-Maschinerie aus dem Takt zu bringen. »Das System, in dem wir leben«, ist auf den ersten Blick mehr ein mediales als ein politisch-ökonomisches. Auf den zweiten Blick ist beides identisch. In »Angela Davis löscht ihre Website« verbinden sich politisches Denken und Pop, der forcierte Blick auf die Gegenwarts-Oberfläche und dessen ständige Infragestellung vor dem Hintergrund der Historie auf. »Vortäuschung falscher Tatsachen«, so die Frage, »oder Vortäuschung richtiger Tatsachen?« Schwer zu durchschauen – gerade angesichts von Gewalt und kriegerischer Auseinandersetzung und ihren jeweiligen Rechtfertigungen –, was Realität ist, was Medienrealität, was auslösende Gewalt, was angeblich gerechte »Vergeltung der Vergeltung der Vergeltung«. »Gibt es die neue Weltordnung schon?« In »Angela Davis löscht ihre Website« geht es um nichts Geringeres als um »das Zeitalter, in dem wir leben/ die Epoche, in der wir leben«, in der Gegensätze und Haltungen mitunter ununterscheidbar geworden sind; Veronas Welt und Sofies Welt stehen ebenso selbstverständlich nebeneinander wie MTV und CNN. »Kriegsfilm?/ Antikriegsfilm?/ Kriegsberichterstattung?« heißt es wiederholt aus dem Off, denn es gilt die unmißverständliche Losung: »seit 5 Uhr 45 wird zurückgefragt.«
