Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) is a subtropical evergreen fruit tree indigenous to China. Records show it has been cultivated in China for over 2000 years. From this beginning, loquat has spread to more than 30 countries around the world. Grown in various regions of Asia, the Mediterranean and across the Americas, loquats suit both temperate and subtropical areas, sharing the same environmental conditions as citrus. Loquat is an increasingly commercial crop in some Asian and European countries with a good amount of international trade. Recent research has focused on improving crop yields and quality. Over 100 different varieties have been developed to meet both growers' and consumers' demands. These developments have contributed to a better understanding of the crop environment, plant growth and physiology of tree and fruit development with implications for both breeding and cultivation. This book is to be the first to provide a comprehensive coverage of the history, physiology, culture and marketing of loquat throughout the world.

Erleuchte, Dame, unsere Finsternis
Songs Sonette Elegien. Zweisprachige Ausgabe
by John Donne, Wolfgang Held, Wolfgang Held, Madeline Mary Duff
Aus dem Schwarm der metaphysical poets ragt John Donne, Zeitgenosse von Shakespeare und Marlowe, als ihr Doyen und Meister hervor. Seine bildreichen und komplexen Gedichte, vor allem die zynisch-erotischen, geistvoll zugespitzten, enthusiastisch brutalen Liebesgedichte, wirken bis heute und gehören zum festen Bestand lyrischer Sprachkunst. Wolfgang Helds temperamentvolle Übertragung bietet in Metrum und Reim eine äußerste Annäherung an die Originale. Ein Vorwort und ein Essay erschließen die Entwicklung John Donnes vom elisabethanischen Kavalier zum todessüchtigen Dekan von Sankt Paul und bestimmen die Poetologie seiner Gedichte zwischen bildkräftiger Anschauung, intellektueller Kombinationskunst und leidenschaftlicher Ausdruckskraft.

Ein Doppelgänger.
by Theodor Storm, Julie Völk
Norddeutschland, um 1850: John Hansen ist – mehr aus Leichtsinn als aus krimineller Neigung – straffällig geworden und versucht wieder im »normalen« Leben Fuß zu fassen. Er lernt das Mädchen Hanna kennen, sie heiraten, bekommen eine Tochter, Christine, und bewohnen eine Kate am Rande des Dorfes. Doch er wird das Stigma des Zuchthäuslers nicht los, die Leute im Ort nennen ihn John »Glückstadt« nach dem Namen der Haftanstalt, in der er einsaß. John findet immer seltener Arbeit und bei einem Streit mit seiner Frau zerbricht auch sein häusliches Glück. Storms dramatische Meisternovelle hat Julie Völk mit feinem Strich kongenial illustriert. »Nachdem dieser John seine Strafe von Rechtes wegen abgebüßt hatte, wurde er, wie gebräuchlich, der lieben Mitwelt zur Hetzjagd überlassen.«

Fossil Fuels and Pollution, Second Edition
The Future of Air Quality
by Julie Kerr, Ph.D.
Praise for the previous edition: "...valuable..."—School Library Journal Clean air is essential to life and good health. Several important pollutants are produced by fossil fuel combustion and emitted directly into the atmosphere, including carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and hydrocarbons. In addition, total suspended particulates contribute to air pollution, and nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons combine in the atmosphere to form tropospheric ozone, the major constituent of smog. With an examination of fossil fuels as energy sources and the world population's reliance on them, Fossil Fuels and Pollution, Second Edition outlines the connection between fossil fuels and global warming. Thoroughly updated and featuring new graphs, charts, and illustrations, this full-color eBook explores the properties of greenhouse gases, the nature and causes of their emissions, the largest contributors, and important health issues and considerations associated with them. The concepts of energy efficiency and fuel economy are also examined as well as agricultural greenhouse gases and pollution. Fossil Fuels and Pollution, Second Edition ends with a close look at fuel technology and the "green technology" movement that has been put into place for tomorrow's cars. Chapters include: Energy, Fossil Fuels, and Global Warming Greenhouse Gases, Health, and the Environment Evolution Since the Industrial Revolution Global Warming and Pollution: Buildings and Homes Global Warming and Pollution: Green Transportation Global Warming and Pollution: Cities and Industry Global Warming: Agriculture and the Impacts Today Fuel Technology Green Technology: Tomorrow's Cars Today Conclusions: the Future of Air Quality.
