        UV-B Radiation and Plant Life

        Molecular Biology to Ecology

        by Brian R Jordan, Pedro J. Aphalo, Amy T. Austin, Carlos L. Ballaré, Paul W. Barnes, Susanne Baldermann, Melanie Binkert, Janet F. Bornman, Isabelle N. Bottger, Stephan D. Flint, Franziska S. Hanschen, Éva Hideg, Marcel A K Jansen, Gareth I. Jenkins, Karel Klem, Susanne Neugart, Monika Schreiner, Åke Strid, Mark A. Tobler, Roman Ulm, Otmar Urban, Jason Wargent, Melanie Wiesner

        Ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B) has profound effects on plant growth and development, and exposure varies with ozone depletion and across geographic regions, with ecosystem and agricultural consequences. This book deals with large-scale impacts but also how UV-B affects plants at the molecular level is also fascinating, and the UV-B photoreceptor has only recently been characterised. While UV-B radiation can be damaging, it also has a more positive role in plant photomorphogenesis. Consequently UV-B treatments are being developed as innovative approaches to improve horticulture. This book is a timely synthesis of what we know and need to know about UV-B radiation and plants.

        Oikoá

        by Felipe Valério

        A concordance to the rhymes of The Faerie Queene

        by Richard Brown, J. B. Lethbridge, J. B. Lethbridge

        This book is the first ever concordance to the rhymes of Spenser's epic. It gives the reader unparalleled access to the formal nuts and bolts of this massive poem: the rhymes which he used to structure its intricate stanzas. As well as the main concordance to the rhymes, the volume features a wealth of ancillary materials, which will be of value to both professional Spenserians and students, including distribution lists and an alphabetical listing of all the words in The Faerie Queene. The volume breaks new ground by including two studies by Richard Danson Brown and J. B. Lethbridge, so that the reader is given provocative analyses alongside the raw data about Spenser as a rhymer. Brown considers the reception of rhyme, theoretical models and how Spenser's rhymes may be reading for meaning. Lethbridge in contrast discusses the formulaic and rhetorical character of the rhymes. ;

        Osiris. Mit den Toten reden

        Szenen für vier Sprecher

        by Jan Assmann, Jan Assmann, Jan Assmann, Jan Assmann

        Die Ägypter gaben ihren Verstorbenen Texte mit ins Grab, um ihnen die jenseitige Existenz zu erleichtern. So entstand das ägyptische Totenbuch. Und sie setzten die Sprache ein als Mittel wiederbelebender Evokation: Mit den Toten reden – das ist die ägyptische Form, den Tod zu verarbeiten. Der weltweit bekannte Ägyptologe und Kulturwissenschaftler Jan Assmann hat Quellen, die in das dritte und zweite vorchristliche Jahrtausend zurückreichen, in eine poetische Sprache übersetzt und zu einer szenischen Handlung zusammengestellt, die sowohl den Osiris-Mythos nacherzählt als auch die zentralen Stationen des ägyptischen Totenrituals von der Mumifizierung des Leichnams über die »Rechtfertigung« im Totengericht bis zur Sarglegung ins Bild setzt. Aber auch in den beigegebenen Abbildungen aus Totenbüchern und Gräbern wird eine vergangene Kultur wieder lebendig und auf bewegende Weise faßbar.
