January 2014Ein Tag zu lang
Roman
by Marie NDiaye
Als der Lehrer Herman am letzten Tag des Urlaubs aufwacht, sind Frau und Kind verschwunden. Zugleich beherrscht statt des sonnigen Wetters dichter Nebel die Landschaft, macht alles unsichtbar. Herman macht sich in den nahe gelegenen Ort auf, um eine Verlustmeldung zu erstatten – und irrt lange Zeit durch diesen Ort: als der Fremde schlechthin. Einen Tag zu lang blieb Herman im Ferienidyll – und schon ist ihm alles entrückt und unkenntlich. Die große, sprachmächtige Erzählerin Marie NDiaye schildert »mit ihrer unverstellten und melodiösen Stimme« (Iris Radisch) die melancholische Verlassenheit eines Menschen, dem alles fremd geworden ist: Mitmenschen, Umwelt, Familie. Auf sich selbst zurückgeworfen, erfindet Herman sich und die Welt neu: Ausgang offen.

Animal husbandryFebruary 1998Comparative Avian Nutrition
by Kirk C Klasing
Their natural beauty, exceptional variety and unique biology make birds (Aves) one of the most fascinating groups of animals. They are also of great importance to humans as food and as experimental subjects that have catalysed significant advances in many areas of biological research. Central to our ability to maintain and develop these resources is a thorough understanding of avian nutrition. This book presents, uniquely, all aspects of our current knowledge, drawn from such diverse disciplines as physiological ecology, poultry production, zoo biology and biomedical science. The physical and biochemical processes of digestion, the metabolic functions of nutrients and the diversity of evolutionary adaptations required to accommodate very different foodstuffs are examined in depth. Emphasis is placed on the quantitative nature of nutrition and the practical consequences for the dietary requirements of captive and wild avian populations throughout their life cycle. This book is key reading for advanced students of animal nutrition and poultry science and for research ornithologists. It will also be valuable for practising nutritionists working with farmed, pet, zoo or wild birds and represents an essential purchase for libraries of animal science, veterinary medicine and ornithology.

Economic historyJuly 2000Scottish society 1707–1830
Beyond Jacobitism, t
by Christopher A. Whatley
Scottish Society, 1707-1830 challenges much conventional wisdom and provides readers with many new insights into Scottish social and economic history.. Argues that the Union of 1707 was vital for Scottish success, but in ways which have hitherto been overlooked.. Contests received wisdom on issues such as the role of the Kirk and other agencies for inculcating order, and argues that the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries in Scotland were years of upheaval and deep social conflict in both the Highlands and Lowlands, where commercialism and later the market economy revolutionised social relationships.. The period surrounding the Radical War in 1820 is identified as a watershed in Scottish history, almost making but also breaking the Scottish working class.. Not only on an exhaustive reading of secondary material but also incorporates a wealth of new evidence from previously little-used or unused primary sources.

Humanities & Social SciencesJune 2004Working towards the Führer
Essays in honour of Sir Ian Kershaw
by Anthony McElligott, Tim Kirk
Working towards the Führer brings together leading historians writing on the Third Reich, in honour of Sir Ian Kershaw, whose own work, along with that of the contributors to this volume has done much to challenge and change our understanding of the way Nazi Germany functioned. Covering issues such as the legacy of the world wars, the female voter, propaganda, occupied lands, the judiciary, public opinion and resistance, this volume furthers the debate on how Nazi Germany operated. Gone are the post-war stereotypes of a monolithic state driven forward by a single will towards war and genocide. Instead there is a more complex picture of the regime and its actions, one that shows the instability of the dictatorship, its dependence on a measure of consent as well as coercion, which recognises the constraints on political action, the fickleness of popular attitudes and the ambiguous, ephemeral nature of acclamation and opposition alike. This is a remarkable collection of essays by leading historians in the field that will undoubtedly be welcomed by students and lecturers of German History. ;
