December 2023Biology and Management of the Formosan Subterranean Termite and Related Species
by Nan-Yao Su, Chow-Yang Lee, Lauren Davies, Thomas Chouvenc, J. Kenneth Grace, Claudia Husseneder, Shuji Itakura, Hou-Feng Li, Nathan Lo, Kok-Boon Neoh, Wakako Ohmura, Faith M. Oi, Rudolf H. Scheffrahn, Qian Sun, Gaku Tokuda, Edward L. Vargo, Chia-Chien Wu, Koichi Yamamoto
The Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus, is the most destructive and invasive termite species globally. It is also the only termite species listed in the world's 100 worst invasive alien species of the Global Invasive Species Database. Annually, its infestation costs more than $4 billion in control and damage repairs in the USA alone. This book is the first comprehensive resource drawing on all the literature on C. formosanus since Tokuichi Shiraki first described the species in 1909. The book covers the worldwide distribution of this species, its biogeography, and how it has dispersed from its native range in southern China and Taiwan to different parts of the world. It describes its present taxonomic status and discusses the species' biology, ecology, foraging behavior, physiology, chemical ecology and its association with symbionts. From a practical standpoint, the authors address all of the various management options for this species, such as baits, soil termiticides, wood preservatives, inspection and detection technologies, and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approaches. Lastly, there are chapters dedicated to another important destructive species, Coptotermes gestroi (the Asian subterranean termite), and the recently discovered C. formosanus/C. gestroi hybrids. This important book is an essential and valuable reference for researchers, graduate students, pest management professionals, chemical manufacturer personnel, building and property managers, and others. It provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of the biology and management of the Formosan subterranean termite and the Asian subterranean termite.

Rhuchi Mhasane’s soft evocative illustrations rendered in pencil with watercolour, and put together digitally, create a dreamlike charm. Richa Jha’s gentle, affectionate and lyrical text takes the reader into the mind of the little girl who can’t wait to get the answers to her ‘Why can’t I?’

Mein Leben zwischen den Geschlechtern
by iO Tillett Wright
Mit sechs will iO kein Mädchen mehr sein. Im New Yorker East Village Ende der 80er sind unorthodoxe Entscheidungen Trumpf: Also gibt sich iO als Junge aus. Und wächst auf in einem rauen, grenzenlosen Wunderland, zwischen Drag Queens, Performancekünstlern und den Freunden seiner [sic!] Patentante Nan Goldin … Darling Days erzählt von der Suche nach Authentizität an einem verlorenen Ort – ein unwiderstehliches, ein heftiges Buch.

Für iO beginnt ein Leben zwischen den Geschlechtern, befreit von starren Kategorien, am Rande des Chaos und an der Seite einer Mutter, deren Fürsorge außer Kontrolle gerät …

Migrañas: Un nuevo tratamiento para un antiguo azote?
by Dr. Peter Hermes
Migrañas: Un nuevo tratamiento para un antiguo azote ?Cómo un pequeño orificio en el corazón puede ser la causa del devastador síndrome de la migraña? Por el Dr. Peter Hermes Las migrañas afectan a un 15 % de toda la población del mundo "civilizado". Alrededor de un 50% de los casos jamás se diagnostican correctamente, mientras que apenas la mitad de los pacientes que sí lo son reciben un tratamiento apropiado. Por lo tanto, más o menos un 75% de quienes sufren de migraña llevan una vida infeliz, cautivos de jaquecas que machacan la cabeza, pasan gran parte de su tiempo en habitaciones oscuras, aislados del ruido y de la gente, vomitando y probando el último "remedio milagroso" en venta en el mercado. ?Cómo un pequeño orificio en el corazón (AOP) puede causar tanta desdicha? El autor nos lleva a lo largo del proceso de descubrimiento del AOP, su diagnóstico moderno, su relación con diversos tipos de cefaleas y su gran nivel de incidencia (40% a 50% de quienes sufren de migraña tienen un AOP). Una parte bastante extensa del libro está dedicada a los nuevos dispositivos que pueden cerrar este "agujero" en el corazón con sólo una noche de hospitalización, mediante un procedimiento bajo anestesia local, !en menos de una hora! Siga leyendo para encontrar la respuesta a este enigma médico que atormenta al mundo civilizado desde tiempos antiguos… El doctor Peter Hermes, graduado de la Facultad de Medicina de la Sorbona, es un neurólogo especialista asociado con centros médicos de primera línea y clínicas especializadas en cefaleas en su país natal, Francia, así como en Italia, Estados Unidos e Israel. Junto con sus colegas italianos, los doctores Anzola, Onorato y Santoro, enfoca su atención en la relación entre el AOP (el "agujero en el corazón") y las migrañas. El autor, incansable viajero, ha atendido a enfermos y a pobres en la India, a los ricos y famosos en Park Avenue, Nueva York, a los beduinos de Uadi Naamán en Israel y a pacientes con migraña en Tel Aviv. Divide su tiempo entre sus pacientes en Israel e Italia, donde también dirige un festival de música de gran éxito.
