Mittlerweile ist der Klimawandel auch in der Literatur angekommen. „Climate Fiction“ oder „Cli-fi“ lautet das Stichwort, das zuletzt verstärkt in den Feuilletons auftauchte. Die deutsche Autorin Christine Heimannsberg präsentiert mit ihrer Debüt-Trilogie „Gelobtes Land“ eine ungewöhnliche, spannende Dystopie, die ökologische wie humanistische Themen geschickt im neuen Genre zusammenführt.

Climate Change and Insect Pests

by Edited by Christer Björkman, Pekka Niemelä.

Insects, being poikilothermic, are among the organisms that are most likely to respond to changes in climate, particularly increased temperatures. Range expansions into new areas, further north and to higher elevations, are already well documented, as are physiological and phenological responses. It is anticipated that the damage by insects will increase as a consequence of climate change, i.e. increasing temperatures primarily. However, the evidence in support of this common “belief” is sparse. Climate Change and Insect Pests sums up present knowledge regarding both agricultural and forest insect pests and climate change in order to identify future research directions.

Innovation in Forestry

Territorial and Value Chain Relationships

by Kadri Ukrainski, Américo M. S. Carvalho Mendes, Diana Feliciano, Thomas Rimmler, Peter Elsasser, Anne Matilainen, Tomas Nord, Erlend Nybakk, Laura Bouriaud, Filip Aggestam, Daria Maso. Edited by Gerhard Weiss, Davide Pettenella, Pekka Ollonqvist, Bill Slee.

Innovation is increasingly recognised as a key factor in environmental protection and balanced sustainable development within the forestry sector. This volume provides a comprehensive theoretical foundation for the analysis of innovation processes and policies in a traditional, rural sector as well as presenting empirical analyses of innovation processes from major innovation areas. Territorial services of the forest sector are examined, including various types of forest ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration or recreation and wood value chains, including timber frame construction and bioenergy.

In Other Wor(l)ds

by Mikko Metsähonkala

In Other Wor(l)ds is a book which defies all classification. It’s not exactly a comic, nor is it an art book. It is something in between, aphoristic cartoons perhaps. Accompanied by one or two sentences of the most gnomic kind, architect Mikko Metsähonkala’s illustrations speak volumes. The images in the book are basically single-frame comics - a bit like Gary Larson’s The Far Side. Topics in Metsähonkala’s illustrations range from history and natural sciences to arts, myths, and everyday life. Humour is based on the mundane and sublime, fairy tale and the real world.

Albi Learns to Swim

by Mikko Kunnas and Markus Majaluoma

Albi lives in a world of ever lasting snow, with his friends, a bird, a penguin, a whale and a worm.

This time Albi goes to the beach, but when he takes swimming lessons, he realises that snow floats, and he doesn't need lessons! How about learning to dive then? Perhaps not....A delightful book, one of two about Albi, linked to the international hit animation 'Albi the Snowman' by the same creators.

Communico

Languages, Images, Algorithms

by Mario Ricciardi

The book traces a wide-ranging overview of communication: a cultural dimension in which different knowledge converges and merges. The author takes into consideration numerous voices – from McLuhan to Barthes, from Pasolini to Castells, just to name a few – to analyse, first, the processes of civilization from the alphabet to digital technology and to show, then, how the media system takes over society and how, in the age of mass consumption, the critical role of public opinion is weakened by market and advertising. Finally, attention shifts to the leap that leads to our days: the algorithm is the pervasive and dominant technology, the personalization operated by digital communication produces new forms of individual mythologies.

The shift to more intensive livestock system has put more pressure on grasslands used for pasture. At the same time, there is a greater understanding of the role of grasslands in delivering a range of ecosystems services. This volume reviews the range of research on more sustainable use of grasslands to optimise livestock nutrition whilst protecting biodiversity and delivering a range of broader environmental benefits.Part 1 assesses grassland functions and dynamics, including plant-soil and plant-animal interactions. Part 2 reviews key aspects of grassland management, including sowing, soil health, irrigation and weed control as well as monitoring. The final part of the book considers wider aspects of sustainability such as protecting biodiversity as well as silage processing.With its distinguished editors and international team of subject experts, this will be a standard reference for grassland and rangeland scientists, livestock producers, government and non-governmental organisations responsible for grassland management.
