Manual on Postharvest Handling of Mediterranean Tree Fruits and Nuts
by Carlos H. Crisosto, Gayle M. Crisosto
Postharvest is an important element of getting fresh, high quality fruit to the consumer and technological advances continue to outpace infrastructure. This book provides valuable, up-to-date information on postharvest handling of seven fruit and nut crops: almonds, figs, table grapes, pistachio, persimmon, peach and pomegranate. These crops are of particular importance in the Mediterranean region, but also to those countries that export and import these crops, where intensive economic resources are dedicated to developing information to understand and solve their postharvest problems. Written by a team of internationally-recognised postharvest experts, this manual collates and verifies essential but often difficult to access information on these important crops, pertinent for the World economics that affect agricultural communities. The book - Covers relevant postharvest topics for each crop across the growing, packing, shipping and retail postharvest phases - Has an emphasis on knowledge useful to solve current worldwide industry problems - Includes practical recommendations - Makes available information previously published in other languages This is must-have manual for growers and commodity handlers, cold storage managers, transportation personnel, produce managers and retail handlers, or anyone in the food chain that packs, transports, stores and sells these fruits and nuts.

Die Traumsuche nach dem unbekannten Kadath
Eine Erzählung
by H. P. Lovecraft, Michael Walter
»Dreimal träumte Randolph Carter von der wunderbaren Stadt… Geheimnis umlagerte sie wie Wolken einen sagenhaften unbestiegenen Berg, und als Carter atemlos und erwartungsvoll auf jener Brustwehr mit dem steinernen Geländer ringsum stand, da schwemmten zu ihm herauf Bitterness und Zweifel fast versunkener Erinnerung, der Schmerz über verlorene Dinge und das rasende Bedürfnis, sich wieder dessen zu entsinnen, was einst eine ehrfurchtgebietende und wichtige Stätte gewesen war. Er wußte, daß sie für ihn von höchster Bedeutung gewesen sein mußte; doch in welchem Zyklus oder welcher Inkarnation er sie gekannt hatte und ob im Traum oder im Wachen, konnte er nicht sagen.« Durch ein Land des Horrors macht sich Randolph Carter auf die Suche nach dem unbekannten Kadath, neben der goldenen, marmornen Stadt seine zweite Vision und Obsession. Finstere Götter, gefährliche Geschöpfe, Piraten, bedrohliche Natur werden zum Hindernis bei seiner Suche. Aber er findet den Kadath, er besteigt ihn, steigt hinauf bis ins Turmzimmer der aus Onyx gebauten Festung. Aber Kadath lag im Dunkeln. Seine Gebieter waren fort. Wohin waren sie gegangen?

Die Literatur der Angst
Zur Geschichte der Phantastik
by H. P. Lovecraft, Michael Koseler, Franz Rottensteiner
1927 erschien seine Studie Supernatural Horror in Literature, die nach wie vor als eine der besten literarhistorischen Hinführungen in die Phantastik gelten kann. Die kompakte und kenntnisreiche Darstellung zeichnet die Entwicklung des Genres von den Anfängen des »gotischen« Romans im 18. Jahrhundert bis zu den modernen Meistern der Gruselliteratur wie Arthur Machen, M. R. James und Algernon Blackwood nach.

Tropical Moist Forest Silviculture and Management
A History of Success and Failure
by H C Dawkins, Michael S Philip
Silviculture in tropical forests has a long history going back many centuries and active management for timber production began about two hundred years ago. There is therefore a considerable body of evidence regarding both sustainable and destructive forestry practices in these forests, the future of which is the subject of one of the great scientific and public debates of the late twentieth century. Based on fifty years experience by each author and extensive research of the literature, this book provides information, much of which was previously not widely available, on the development of silvicultural systems in tropical moist forest (a broad term which encompasses many forest types). The book begins by tracing the early history and goes on to describe the later, more technical phases and the growth of global exploitation. Examples from many countries are described in detail, considering all aspects including the economic, ecological and social implications. It is the aim of the authors to demonstrate that sustainable timber production in many of these forests is not only possible, but the techniques necessary have been known to foresters for many decades. This book is essential reading for forest managers in the tropics, advanced students and researchers in forestry and ecology concerned with natural resource management and will also be of interest to economists, policy makers and environmentalists
