        David, Donne and Thirsty Deer

        Selected Essays of Anne Lake Prescott

        by Anne Lake Prescott, Roger Kuin, William A. Oram

        For nearly half a century Anne Lake Prescott has been a force and an inspiration in Renaissance studies. A force, because of her unique blend of learning and wit and an inspiration through her tireless encouragement of younger scholars and students. Her passion has always been the invisible bridge across the Channel: the complex of relations, literary and political, between Britain and France. The essays in this long-awaited collection range from Edmund Spenser to John Donne, from Clément Marot to Pierre de Ronsard. Prescott has a particular fondness for King David, who appears several times; and the reader will encounter chessmen, bishops, male lesbian voices and Roman whores. Always Prescott's immense erudition is accompanied by a sly and gentle wit that invites readers to share her amusement. Reading her is a joyful education.

        The Other Goddess

        Mary Magdalene and the Goddesses of Eros and Secret Knowledge

        by Dr. Joanna Kujawa

        Is there a lineage of goddesses that claims the evolutionary power of female sexuality? And if so, why were they pushed to the shadows and demeaned as harlots? Was Mary Magdalene one of them, and what were her teachings? Dr. Joanna Kujawa argues that in the process of recovering the healing power of the Goddess we have focused solely on the mother archetype and left out the other Goddess, who is often represented in mythical, historical, and Gnostic sources as wise, mysterious, and in the possession of the healing power of Eros. Learn about Mary Magdalene’s portrayal in the gnostic gospels as a teacher in her own right and Jesus' intimate partner, the possibility of her life as an alchemist in Egypt, and her last years in Southern France. Find out if Mary Magdalene was the same person as Mary the Prophetess of Egypt and her connection to the mysterious Cathars, Black Madonnas, and Knights Templar. Whether looking at Mary Magdalene, Sophia, Aphrodite, Inanna, Hathor, Isis, or the goddesses of esoteric Hinduism, Dr. Kujawa finds the archetype of The Other Goddess-the bearer of the mysteries of sexual alchemy that ends the division between sexuality and spirituality.

        Tatsache, Fiktion, Voraussage

        by Nelson Goodman, Bernd Philippi, Hermann Vetter, Hilary Putnam

        Im Kern dieses Klassikers der Wissenschaftstheorie geht es um das Problem der Induktion. Wie kommt es, daß wir uns in manchen Hinsichten auf Verallgemeinerungen aus unserer Erfahrung verlassen, in anderen Hinsichten hingegen nicht? Wie lassen sich Verallgemeinerungen, die uns bestätigt erscheinen, von anderen unterscheiden?

        Collecting Plant Genetic Diversity

        Technical Guidelines

        by Kevin Eatwell, Gidona Goodman, Emma Keeble, Anna Meredith, Joanna Hedley. Edited by Luigi Guarino, V R Ramanatha Rao, Robert Reid.

        The case for conserving biodiversity is well established on economic as well as scientific grounds. Biodiversity is essential for sustainable development, adaptation to a changing environment and the continued functioning of the biosphere - indeed, to human survival itself. Plant breeders are dependent upon the availability of a large pool of diverse genetic material represented by local races and wild relatives, since in themselves modern crop varieties provide too restricted a genepool for further breeding. Without the ability to draw from a diverse genetic reservoir, further improvement may not be possible. It is therefore essential that guidance is available on collecting plant germplasm. In recent years it has become evident that there is no single publication that provides the prospective collector of plant germplasm with generic as well as specific, and theoretical as well as practical, information. It was to fill this gap that the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI), together with FAO, IUCN and UNEP, cooperated to produce this book. The volume is a comprehensive reference work and is aimed at both new and experienced collectors as well as those with a general interest in plant genetics, breeding and biodiversity.

        Auf dem Sandberg, einer Siedlung am Rande einer polnischen Kleinstadt regieren die Frauen. Sie träumen von einem Schwiegersohn aus Castrop-Rauxel, denn wenn sie selbst schon nicht das große Los gezogen haben, sollen wenigstens ihre Töchter glücklich werden. Aber die haben eigene Vorstellungen von Glück … Joanna Bator erzählt von den Träumen, Ängsten und Hoffnungen einer von Krieg und Flucht traumatisierten Generation und von der Rebellion und Freiheitssehnsucht ihrer Kinder.
