Die Fruchtbaren Länder sind in Aufruhr. Dunkle Zeichen deuten auf eine Bedrohung, die von jenseits des Meeres zu kommen scheint. Die Obersten Astronomen rufen Vertreter der sieben Stämme in der Sternenstadt Beleram zusammen, um eine Allianz gegen den zu gründen, der – so verkündet es die Legende – aus der Alten Welt kommen und die Fruchtbaren Länder unterwerfen will: Misaianes, Sohn des Ewigen Hasses. Unter ihrem eigenwilligen Anführer Dulkancellin zieht der Bund des Hirsches in den Kampf. Doch gegen die Verräter in den eigenen Reihen und die fremden, eisengerüsteten Männer auf den Tieren mit Mähne scheint ein Sieg unmöglich. Wenn es nicht den Erdzauberer Kupuka und seine Magie gäbe ... Die Mythen der südamerikanischen Ureinwohner aufgreifend, schafft Liliana Bodoc in ihrer mitreißenden Saga ein phantastisches Universum, in dem zwei Weltanschauungen aufeinanderprallen.
This fascinating book examines what sixteen radical and conservative, famous and notorious British women wrote about their sex in the 1790s. It offers the most comprehensive survey of what they thought about their fellow women with regard to love, sexual desire and marriage; their domestic roles and their engagement in the 'public' sphere; and issues of gender and female abilities including sensibility and genius. How contemporary reviewers divided women writers into 'unsex'd' and 'proper' is investigated, as is the issue of whether they attempted to exclude women from certain kinds of writing. The book reveals the depth of female complaint but contends that women did not passively submit. Conservative and radicals alike sought to extend their sphere of activity, to reform men, challenge gender stereotypes and propose that a woman should be a self for herself and her God rather than for her husband.

Juan Carlos Onetti (*1909 in Montevideo, Uruguay, †1994 in Madrid, Spanien) ist vielfach und zu Recht als einer der bedeutendsten lateinamerikanischen Schriftsteller bezeichnet worden. 1932 erschien im Rahmen eines Literaturwettbewerbs eine Erzählung von ihm in der argentinischen Tageszeitung La Prensa. Sein erster Roman, El Pozo (dt. Der Schacht, 1989), folgte 1939 in einer Auflage von 500 Exemplaren. Er veröffentlichte insgesamt elf Romane und zahlreiche Erzählungen sowie zwei Sammlungen von Artikeln, von denen die Mehrzahl ins Deutsche übersetzt wurde. Bis 1975 lebte er abwechselnd in Buenos Aires und Montevideo, arbeitete unter anderem für die Nachrichtenagentur Reuters, war lange Jahre als Direktor der städtischen Bibliotheken in Montevideo tätig und publizierte regelmäßig in verschiedenen uruguayischen Zeitschriften. Erst mit dem Roman La vida breve (1950, dt. Das kurze Leben, 1978) erlangte er einen gewissen Bekanntheitsgrad, blieb aber noch viele Jahre lang eine Art »Geheimtipp« und erst in relativ hohem Alter wurden ihm Ruhm und Achtung zuteil. In La vida breve erschuf er den fiktiven Kosmos um die Stadt Santa María, der in vielen weiteren Romanen und Erzählungen auftauchen sollte. Während der Diktatur, die seit 1973 in Uruguay herrschte, wurde Onetti einige Monate lang in Haft gehalten. 1975 ging er mit seiner vierten Frau, der Geigerin Dorothea Muhr, ins Exil nach Madrid, wo er bis zu seinem Tod blieb und die Romane Dejemos hablar al viento (dt. Lassen wir den Wind sprechen, 1986), Cuando entonces (dt. Magda, 1989) und Cuando ya no importe (dt. Wenn es nicht mehr wichtig ist, 1996) veröffentlichte. Der uruguayische Nationalpreis für Literatur wurde ihm gleich zweimal verliehen: 1962 und nach der Rückkehr der Demokratie noch einmal 1985. Außerdem erhielt er 1980 den wichtigsten Literaturpreis der spanischsprachigen Welt: den Cervantes-Preis. 1994 erschien die erste Ausgabe der Cuentos completos (dt. Willkommen, Bob. Gesammelte Erzählungen, 1999) in Buenos Aires. Am 30. Mai desselben Jahres starb Juan Carlos Onetti 84-jährig in Madrid. Fast alle großen Autoren Lateinamerikas erkennen Onettis Einfluss auf ihr eigenes Werk an, und von vielen wird er für den größten lateinamerikanischen Schriftsteller gehalten. Im Frühjahr 2005 erschien bei Suhrkamp der erste Band der Onetti-Werkausgabe mit Leichensammler und Die Werft in einer revidierten Übersetzung. In den nächsten Jahren folgten die vier weiteren Bände der Werkausgabe, zuletzt erschienen 2015 mit Band 5 sämtliche Erzählungen Onettis. Jürgen Dormagen, Lektor, Herausgeber der Werkausgabe Onetti und Übersetzer (Angeles Saura, Juan Carlos Onetti, Jean Stafford), lebt in Berlin.

This new edition of Lyme Disease provides up-to-date evidence-based research and covers the significant advances in our understanding of the disorders referred to as Lyme disease or Lyme borreliosis. This book explores the causative organism, its requisite ecosystem, disease epidemiology, host-Borrelia interactions, diagnostic testing, clinical manifestations, therapeutic options, the role of host immunity on pathogenesis and long term prognosis. The authors provide balanced perspectives on all aspects of Lyme disease and explicitly review both the basic biology of the infection and practical clinical aspects. This new edition: Includes new borrelial pathogens that have been identified (B. miyamotoi, B. mayonii and B. bavariensis among others). Provides updated information on the molecular biology of the organism, neuroborreliosis, and the role of the C6 peptide in diagnosis. Discusses the controversies about 'chronic Lyme disease', post Lyme disease syndrome and other ongoing but non-specific symptoms that have been attributed to this infection. As the endemic footprint of Lyme disease continues to grow, this book provides a broad and detailed guide for clinicians and researchers involved with the diagnosis and treatment of the condition. Covering biology, epidemiology and therapeutics, it is also essential reading for students of global health and infectious disease.

By taking an entirely practical approach, this textbook aims to help those working with animals to apply methods for improving welfare, bridging the gap between scientific research and practical application. This book provides a guide to practical evaluation and auditing of welfare problems for farmed animals, emphasizing the importance of measuring conditions that compromise welfare such as lameness, or the use of electric goads. This second edition is fully updated with new literature, new, up to date coverage of pain management, and the addition of a new chapter on animal welfare in organic farming systems. ; Taking a practical approach, this textbook helps those working with animals to apply methods for improving welfare, bridging the gap between scientific research and practical application.

The book provides a comprehensive overview of current knowledge about "wattles", a large clade of over 1000 species of trees and shrubs in the genus Acacia, most of which are native to Australia. It examines the biology, ecology, evolution, and biogeography of wattles in their native ranges, including the evolutionary forces that have driven past speciation and adaptation to diverse environments, the conservation status, uses and human perceptions of these species. It considers the different histories of the introductions and proliferation of wattles as alien species in different parts of the world since c. 1850 (the Anthropocene), situated within relevant political, socio-economic and scientific contexts, together with an analysis of how awareness of their impacts as invasive species has changed over time. Differences in the dynamics and trends associated with the introduction, naturalization and invasion of wattles in different parts of the world are reviewed. The book also synthesizes the global distribution of wattles using diverse data sources, alongside trends, patterns and projections of global uses of wattles. It discusses the genetics, biotic interactions, and ecological, economic and social impacts of invasive wattles. The first comprehensive global synthesis in book form of aspects of the biology, ecology, biogeography and management of one of the world's most important woody plant genera. Provides the foundation for the assessment of evidence-based information required to formulate sustainable management strategies for non-native plants that have both benefits and negative impacts. Sheds new light on many aspects of plant invasion science. This book is aimed at academics and students in the field of ecology, and at managers of natural and anthropic ecosystems, policy-makers and regulators, and the general public interested in biology and environmental science.
