East German intelligence and Ireland, 1949–90
Espionage, terrorism and diplomacy
by Jerome de Wiel
This book is an in-depth examination of the relations between Ireland and the former East Germany between the end of the Second World War and the fall of the Berlin Wall. It explores political, diplomatic, economic, media and cultural issues. The long and tortuous process of establishing diplomatic relations is unique in the annals of diplomatic history. Central in this study are the activities of the Stasi. They show how and where East German intelligence obtained information on Ireland and Northern Ireland and also what kind of information was gathered. A particularly interesting aspect of the book is the monitoring of the activities of the Irish Republican Army and the Irish National Liberation Army and their campaigns against the British army in West Germany. The Stasi had infiltrated West German security services and knew about Irish suspects and their contacts with West German terrorist groups. East German Intelligence and Ireland, 1949-90 makes an original contribution to diplomatic, intelligence, terrorist and Cold War studies. ;

Sechs moderne Theaterstücke
by Samuel Beckett, Jerome Kilty, Klaus Händl, Christoph Nußbaumeder, Moritz Rinke, Peter Turrini
Samuel Beckett: Hörspielskizze I, Hörspielskizze II Deutsch von Elmar Tophoven Mit Endspiel (Bd. 2) war Beckett von Anbeginn Autor der Spectaculum-Reihe, in der inzwischen seine sämtlichen Theaterstücke erschienen sind. Seit seinem ersten Hörspiel 1956 spielt diese Gattung in seinem Gesamtwerk eine bedeutende Rolle, nicht zuletzt durch die Motive und Querverweise, die sich wie ein Netz über das »dramatische Werk« legen. Deshalb ist es sinnvoll, wenn aus Anlaß des 100. Geburtstages zwei zentrale Werke für das Radio erscheinen, in denen Samuel Beckett versucht, »aus dem Menschen etwas über den Menschen herauszubringen«. Jerome Kilty: Geliebter Lügner Es sind überaus emotionale Briefe, die sich die berühmte Schauspielerin Stella Campbell und der wohl erfolgreichste Dramatiker des 20. Jahrhunderts Bernard Shaw geschrieben haben. Beide meist verheiratet, aber nie miteinander, konnten über vier Jahrzehnte nicht voneinander lassen und lieferten sich große Liebesbeweise - per Post. Händl Klaus: Dunkel lockende Welt Ein abgetrennter Zeh in einer Ecke, eine Ärztin, die sich mit ihrem Vermieter streitet, ob es einen Gattenmord zu vertuschen oder ein Mutter-Sohn-Drama aufzudecken gilt, eine Wohnung in Leipzig, eine in München, ein Gewirr aus Phantasie und Realität, eine dunkel lockende Welt erzählt uns Händl Klaus. Peter Turrini: Bei Einbruch der Dunkelheit Alois, 15 und heimlicher Dichter, wird in das Herrenhaus des ortsansässigen Komponisten eingeladen. Er muß dort mit Schrecken feststellen, daß es in der Welt der Kunst nicht um Schönheit, sondern um Verrat, nicht um den Ausdruck von Gefühlen, sondern um die bessere Formulierung geht. Christoph Nußbaumeder: Mit dem Gurkenflieger in die Südsee Hier hat ein Autor im erweiterten Europa über Menschen aus Osteuropa geschrieben, die gezwungen sind, im »goldenen Westen« zu Billiglöhnen zu arbeiten. Mitten im Turbokapitalismus schafft Nußbaumeder ein unsentimentales Theaterstück über die »Sklaven des 21. Jahrhundert

Grass for Dairy Cattle
by Edited by Jerome H Cherney, Debbie J R Cherney
With the current interest in the environmental and economic sustainability of dairy farming, grass forage crops have emerged as a potential solution to some of the nutrient management problems now encountered on intensively managed dairy farms. The expansion and reintegration of grass-based systems into the mainstream of dairying systems will require a major paradigm shift involving economic, social and ecological, as well as biological factors.This book examines the role of grass in milk production in sustainable agricultural ecosystems. It provides a current summary of the role of grass in dairy cattle systems, including the breeding, management, storage, feeding and economics of grass for both lactating and dry dairy cows. Written by leading specialists from Australia, Europe, New Zealand, North and South America, this is an essential reference source for researchers, dairy industry professionals and advanced students of forage and dairy cattle nutrition.

Los animales de El Bosco (The Animals of Hieronymus Bosch)
by Manuel Marín
The first artist to enter the realm of fantasy was Hieronymus Bosch. He revels in the delights of pleasure. He relishes eating giant fruits, running on water and flying on top of a fish. He is joyful without even realizing it. Bosch is also aware that serenity and calmness let things be seen as they are. No one before had ever seen our feelings as we get lost in the madness of invisible realities.

Winter Tourism
Trends and Challenges
by Ulrike Pröbstl-Haider, Harold Richins, Stefan Türk
Winter tourism has seen increased levels of investment in recent times as new ski destinations develop and traditional skiing destinations merge to reduce economic risks by means of spatial distribution. Increasingly environmental issues in many established ski resorts, including certifications and adaptions of the management regime, and new mobility concepts to reduce CO2 emissions caused by the travel behavior of the winter tourists, are growing areas of consideration. This includes the importance of scenic beauty, nature and sustainable development as well as snow reliability and avalanche safety. Finally skiers themselves and their preferences (destination choice), need to be considered as part of demographic change and changing leisure time habits, in particular considering the Chinese market and its impact in the future. The book will explore these trends and discuss the different approaches and adaption strategies that are employed in the European Alpine region, North America, and Eastern Europe.

Geoffrey Hill and the ends of poetry
by Tom Docherty
The idea of the end is an essential motivic force in the poetry of Geoffrey Hill (1932-2016). This book shows that Hill's poems are characteristically 'end-directed'. They tend towards consummations of all kinds: from the marriages of meanings in puns, or of words in repeating figures and rhymes, to syntactical and formal finalities. The recognition of failure to reach such ends provides its own impetus to Hill's poetry. This is the first book on Hill to take account of his last works. It is a significant contribution to the study of Hill's poems, offering a new thematic reading of his entire body of work. By using Hill's work as an example, the book also touches on questions of poetry's ultimate value: what are its ends and where does it wish to end up?
