        Crop Pollination by Bees, Volume 2

        Individual Crops and their Bees

        by Keith S Delaplane

        Since the second half of the 20th Century, our agricultural bee pollinators have faced mounting threats from ecological disturbance and pan-global movement of pathogens and parasites. At the same time, the area of pollinator-dependent crops is increasing globally with no end in sight. Never before has so much been asked of our finite pool of bee pollinators. This book not only explores the evolutionary and ecologic bases of these dynamics, it translates this knowledge into practical research-based guidance for using bees to pollinate crops. It emphasizes conserving wild bee populations as well as culturing honey bees, bumble bees, and managed solitary bees. To cover such a range of biology, theory, and practice from the perspectives of both the pollinator and the crop, the book is divided into two volumes. Volume 1 focuses on bees, their biology, coevolution with flowering plants, foraging ecology and management, and gives practical ways to increase bee abundance and pollinating performance on the farm. Volume 2 (this volume) focuses on crops, with chapters addressing crop-specific requirements and bee pollination management recommendations. Both volumes are essential reading for farmers, horticulturists and gardeners, researchers and professionals working in insect ecology and conservation, and students of entomology and crop protection.

        Pharmacy Services

        Future on site

        by Dr. S. Werner and T. König

        Make it simple! The pharmacy can do more than just provide medicines. In this book, two smart authors show what ideas are out there for pharmacy services and how they can be offered. This involves much more than just the pharmaceutical services that are paid for. Digitalisation makes many things possible. Optimised operational processes, broad knowledge and skills become further services that offer good opportunities for the on-site pharmacy. Here you can read about • what contemporary services are available, how they can be introduced, and what they should cost, • why telemedicine and appointment booking software can be helpful strategies, and • how pharmacies can effectively counter the mail-order trade. From the content: pharmaceutical counselling in and outside the pharmacy on health topics, prevention and medicinal products, services for specific target groups, distributing and blistering, vaccination, determination of physiological values and much more.

        Pharmacy Practice Workbook

        practise, consolidate, revise

        by Annette Thomas / Nadine Sprecher

        Advising patients, dispensing, preparing and checking drugs – that is the essence of pharmacy practice and – at the same time – a broad field. This workbook enables knowledge about legal and regulatory requirements concerning the dispensing of drugs, the use of particular dosage forms, specific risks of drugs as well as the handling of medical devices or hazardous substances to be deepened – and in an amusing and entertaining way, thanks to a varied range of exercises! It is the ideal complement to the textbook Pharmacy Practice of the Deutschen Apotheker Verlag and the perfect preparation for the final examination. But quite apart from that, it guarantees fun for all prospective and active pharmaceutical technicians, returnees and pharmacy interns when learning and revising. It provides valuable ideas and support for pharmaceutical technician schools and pharmacies with teaching and training.

        The Practice of Pharmacy

        Textbook for pharmacy interns Handbook for the pharmacy

        by Dr. Michael Sax, founded by Dr. Herbert Gebler and Dr. Gerd Kindl

        After pharmacy studies have ended, the fascinating world of the pharmacy awaits – simultaneously varied and challenging. This is no problem with this well-established standard work to hand! The 7th edition, with a new editor and new structure, goes through the various stages of pharmacy operation. Beginning with the social mandate to supply medicines and then considering the organisational and economic orientation of a pharmacy, one delves ever deeper into its inner workings. In every area, the appropriate specific information can be found about pharmaceutical law and practice – whether this concerns the back office, over-the-counter medicines, dispensary and dispensing, or the supply of care homes, or preparation of cytotoxic drugs. In addition to the important topic “Dispensing of drugs and medical devices on prescription”, particular attention is paid to the principal activity in the pharmacy – giving advice on self-medication. The contents are based on the regulations for registration of pharmacists and the guidelines of the Federal Chamber of Pharmacists for the practical training of pharmacy interns in the pharmacy. The Practice of Pharmacy safely navigates the user through the practical training year and is the ideal preparation for the 3rd State Examination! Returnees, pharmacies that provide training and pharmacists of many years’ experience, will also benefit from this textbook and reference work.

        The sustainable pharmacy

        Climate change, protection of the environment and health

        by Esther Luhmann (ed.), By Björn Schittenhelm, Gabriele Renner and Florian Giermann

        We encounter the effects of climate change on a daily basis. It also presents a danger to our health. So is it not part of our responsibility as healthcare professionals to do something for the health of our planet? What contribution can pharmacy staff make? The authors explore these questions in depth. They examine the side effects that medicinal products can have on the environment and where alternatives are to be found. To help ensure that environmental protection is part-and-parcel of everyday pharmacy practice, the book offers practical tips and checklists for the whole team. For not only can the pharmacy conserve resources and advise patients on the consequences of climate change for their health – it can be a role model. The future lies in our hands!

        Der Dreh von Inkarnation

        Roman | Eine Reise durch unsere flirrende Gegenwart und über geopolitische Verwerfungslinien

        by Tom McCarthy, Ulrich Blumenbach

        Tief in den Archiven der Zeit- und Bewegungspionierin Lillian Gilbreth liegt ein Geheimnis. Berühmt für die Herstellung solider Lichtspuren, die die Bewegungsmuster von Arbeitern aufzeichnen, hatte Gilbreth, zur Begeisterung von NASA und KGB, die Möglichkeiten von Massenüberwachung und Big Data revolutioniert. Aber hatte sie, wie sie in einem ihrer Briefe andeutet, gegen Ende ihres Lebens tatsächlich auch ein »perfektes« Uhrwerk entdeckt, das »alles verändern« würde?Eine weltumspannende Jagd beginnt, nach dieser einen Box, die in ihrem Nachlass fehlt, und wir folgen einem jungen Bewegungserfassungsforscher namens Mark Phocan durch unsere flirrende Gegenwart, über geopolitische Verwerfungslinien und durch Experimentierzonen und mitten hinein in die Dreharbeiten zum Blockbuster-Film Inkarnation, einer epischen Weltraumtragödie, die endgültig die Geheimnisse menschlicher Erfahrung lüften soll... Der Dreh von Inkarnation ist eine hellsichtige Breitwand-Odyssee durch medizinische Labore, Computergrafikstudios und militärische Forschungseinrichtungen, dunkle Orte, an denen die Grenzen unserer Möglichkeiten – zu unterhalten, zu verstehen, zu heilen, zu töten – ständig getestet und weiter verfeinert werden.
