Fifi la footballeuse est une histoire pour enfants qui parle d’une jeune fille passionnée de football.
Mit dem Aufkommen der Biotechnologien ist die Natur des Menschen scheinbar verfügbar und manipulierbar geworden und die Frage nach dem Verhältnis von biologischem Leben und menschlicher Lebensform rückt zunehmend ins Zentrum der Aufmerksamkeit. Bios, das spezifische Leben einzelner Wesen, und Zoë, die einfache Tatsache des Lebens, scheinen immer stärker auseinanderzutreten. Der interdisziplinäre Sammelband stellt den Überlegungen bekannter europäischer Autoren die Positionen namhafter Vertreter der angelsächsischen Science Technology Studies gegenüber und bietet so einen aufschlußreichen Überblick über die aktuelle Auseinandersetzung der Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften mit dem Phänomen der Lebenswissenschaften und ihren biotechnologischen Anwendungen. Mit Beiträgen u. a. von Dieter Birnbacher, Bruno Latour, Gianni Vattimo, Hans-Jörg Rheinberger, Karin Knorr Cetina, Nikolas Rose, Paul Rabinow und Charis Thompson.

Many vegetable crops represent high value products and so it is essential to have a clear understanding of the physiology that lies behind successful production, as this enables the crop to be managed in the most effective way. The first section of the book takes a general look at the key stages during the growth of a plant, such as germination, transplanting and flowering and also looks at what can influence those stages. The second section is a detailed consideration of each of the major crops. Each chapter discusses the physiological aspects of vegetative growth, the induction of the reproductive structure, reproductive growth, senescence and any physiological disorders. Leading workers from the USA and Europe are brought together in one volume to produce a unique reference work for all advanced students of horticulture and crop production. This book is also an important resource for all research workers and teachers concerned with plant physiology.

Jack Tar to Union Jack examines the intersection between empire, navy, and manhood in British society from 1870 to 1918. Through analysis of sources that include courts-martial cases, sailors' own writings, and the HMS Pinafore, Conley charts new depictions of naval manhood during the Age of Empire, a period which witnessed the radical transformation of the navy, the intensification of imperial competition, the democratisation of British society, and the advent of mass culture. Jack Tar to Union Jack argues that popular representations of naval men increasingly reflected and informed imperial masculine ideals in Victorian and Edwardian Britain. Conley shows how the British Bluejacket as both patriotic defender and dutiful husband and father stood in sharp contrast to the stereotypic image of the brave but bawdy tar of the Georgian navy. This book will be essential reading for students of British imperial history, naval and military history, and gender studies.
