Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are biocontrol agents that are used to control a wide variety of insect pests within agriculture and forestry. In addition to their use as bio-pesticides, EPNs have a fascinating biology and are thus considered model organisms in ecology, symbiosis and pathogenesis. This book presents basic knowledge and diverse applications to illustrate how EPNs play an important role as potent biocontrol solutions. It describes: Fundamental concepts such as biology, taxonomy, symbiosis genomics and behavioural ecology. Aspects of commercialization, including mass production, formulation, safety and regulation, and marketing. Diverse cropping systems e.g. maize, wheat and grains, citrus, orchard systems, berries, vine crops, vegetables and turf. Other applications including urban, nursery, forestry, greenhouse, veterinary and medical. Ecological considerations and applications in conservation biocontrol. This book is a must have for all pest management professionals including those practicing integrated pest management strategies.

Children's & young adult fiction & true storiesApril 2014The Heaviness
by Sam Hawksmoor
The Heaviness is the final volume in The Repossession Trilogy and the Genie Magee story. It’s been a year since Rian, Renée and Genie survived ‘The Hunting’ burned down Whistler, fled Cobble Hill and the evil Reverend Schneider. Now they’re back with Marshall and the safety of the Apple Farm. However rest assured Schneider hasn’t forgotten Genie Magee. Rian has been forced to live at home. He can only see Genie on weekends, but Genie is fine with that, at least she knows he still loves her, as she does him. She's happy being back on the farm with Moucher, learning new skills and taking care of Marshall - who is tinkering in the new barn - trying to replicate Cary's anti-gravity experiment. So far without any success. Ri has made Genie study and together they took their SAT’s, Rian getting offers for College places. But the more they talk about college, the more Genie worries whether their teen romance can survive? Once Rian gets to where he wants to study he’ll be distracted by other girls. As her Grandma once said: ‘Love is like smoke, the scent of it lingers long after the fire is out.’ All this is about to change – radically. Did you think Genie and Ri could be left alone forever? Cary died experimenting with anti-gravity. Someone somewhere wants that data urgently and is prepared to do something very desperate to get it. Somewhere in the city, a meaner, vengeful Reverend Schneider is thinking of revenge. Genie is about to wake up to a whole lot of trouble and discover that some people will do anything to get what they want. It won’t be nice or pretty. What do you do when you break the law of gravity? Genie and Renée have just 36 hours to save Rian or he dies.

EducationWe Saved the Best for You
Letters of Hope, Imagination and Wisdom for 21st Century Educators
by Kress, T. M.
As standardization and “accountability” have continued to increase in the 21st century, educators and scholars of education have become increasingly frustrated. Yet as frustrated as we are, it is essential that we not send to our our students, children, grandchildren the message that the past was better and they “should have been there.” Instead, we must render a clear vision of what can be. Indeed, where would we be without the vision we have been freely given to us from great scholars, philosophers, and artists, as well as our own teachers, friends, neighbors, and family? We are indebted to carry forward the legacy of these torchbearers to present and future educators. This book is a collection of letters to 21st century educators of all age levels and content areas. It includes chapters from more than 50 contributors representing leading names in the field of education, emerging scholars of education, and gifted practitioners in schools. It has been compiled with the goal of fulfilling our responsibility to share with the next generation of educators our vision of the future, just as our predecessors and role models shared theirs with us. Informed by the past but oriented toward the future, this collection aims to inspire in present and future educators hope, wisdom and imagination for addressing the educational challenges shaped by bureaucratic, economic and cultural forces. Authors such as Nel Noddings, Sonia Nieto, Sandy Grande, Riane Eisler, Mike Rose, William Schubert, William Reynolds, and many more speak directly to their readers, building a relationship with a scholarly backbone, and encouraging: “we saved the best for you” because “the best” is the world you will create.

Tingle
Anthology of Pinay Lesbian Writing
by Jhoanna Lynn B. Cruz
Most of the forty-nine works in the book were specifically solicited from the writers I know in response to the question, “What makes you tingle as a lesbian?” Literally, the sensation of “slight prickles, stings, or tremors,” the excitement. I purposely didn’t give any more qualifiers to that prompts. I wanted the writers themselves to define the terms and enact them on the page. And while the word “tingle” is a homonym for the Tagalog word for “clitoris,” many of the pieces submitted were not about sex at all. But all the pieces are about a spark of recognition, whether at the beginning, the middle, or the end, that one loves a woman as a woman. Tingle is the flint. Here we are taking our stories of women loving women in our own hands and making ourselves visible on our own terms. When the initial thrill of desire is past, the tingle is ultimately the recognition that what we have found cannot remain in the dark—we must love and be loved in the light.

Cuadernos del fútbol africano
by Alberto Edjogo-Owono

Politics, war or religion are intertwined with leather in every city, in every stadium and on every page. Alberto Edjogo-Owono, international with Equatorial Guinea, makes his debut in the literary world trying to discover where this indomitable land gets the strength to rise up after everything was taken from it.

History of Art / Art & Design StylesAugust 2014Mediating Netherlandish Art and Material Culture in Asia
by Edited by Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann and Michael North
Scholars have extensively documented the historical and socioeconomic impact of the Dutch East India Company. They have paid much less attention to the company’s significant influence on Asian art and visual culture. Mediating Netherlandish Art and Material Culture in Asia addresses this imbalance with a wide range of contributions covering such topics as Dutch and Chinese art in colonial and indigenous households; the rise of Hollandmania in Japan; and the Dutch painters who worked at the court of the Persian shahs. Together, the contributors shed new light on seventeenth-century Dutch visual culture“and the company that spread it across Asia.

Novel
by Arunika Senarath
Love at first sight: Amina and Sten run into each other in Dresden. After a romantic dinner in a back room of the Semper Opera House, they see each other more often.

But do they really fit together? Because he belongs to a racist movement, and she hates prejudices. She also carries a heavy package of a bad party night during her school days, in which he seems to be somehow involved.In her debut novel, the young author Arunika Senarath creates a contemporary staff of young people who study, love, argue, celebrate between Neustadt and the Frauenkirche. And who is not unaffected by the political jolt to the right. With a sample translation into English of the first chapters.
