July 1987Das Buch des Alfred Kantor
by Alfred Kantor, Alfred Kantor, Johannes Eidlitz, Friedrich Heer
Theresienstadt - Auschwitz - Schwarzheide: Das sind die Leidensstationen des jungen tschechischen Künstlers Alfred Kantor in den Jahren 1941-1945. Im Juli 1945, zehn Wochen nach der Befreiung aus dreieinhalb Jahre dauernder Haft in Lagern des NS-Regimes, kam der damals zweiundzwanzigjährige Kantor nach Deggendorf in ein Lager für »Displaced Persons«. Dort schuf er in etwa zwei Monaten die in diesem Band vorgelegten 127 mit Wasserfarben kolorierten Zeichnungen, die er in einem von einem Buchbinder eigens angefertigten Buch mit leeren Blättern eintrug.

Society & culture: generalA TIME OF WOLVES: GERMANY AND THE GERMANS 1945 - 1955
by Harald Jähner
A dance among the ruins: Harald Jähner’s major new portrait of Germany’s post-war societyCountless former soldiers drift through the towns and cities; countless children grow up without a father. The old order has been destroyed and although the streets seem eerily empty, the traditional annual street carnivals are soon back in full swing, jazz can be heard among the ruins, intellectuals rekindle a culture of discussion and debate.Harald Jähner’s book is the first history of Germany’s national mentality in the immediate post-war period. It focusses on the German people in all their diversity: the “re-educators” Alfred Döblin and Rudolf Herrnstadt, who tried in two different zones of occupation to win the trust of their fellow Germans; Beate Uhse, owner of a mail order company for “marital hygiene”, who questioned the old moral code governing what was deemed proper; the many nameless black market traders, pockets stuffed with Lucky Strike cigarettes; stylish housewives sitting at kidney-shaped coffee tables that were to become emblematic for a freer and affordable world. Using major political developments as a backdrop, this book weaves a series of life stories into a nuanced panorama that makes the monumental changes affecting the nation tangible for its readers. 1945 to 1955 was a raw, wild decade poised between two eras, portrayed here as a period that proved decisive for Germany’s future development – and one starkly different to how most Germans imagine it today.

May 1977Sprachspiel und Interaktionsformen
Vorträge und Aufsätze zur Psychoanalyse, Sprache und Praxis
by Alfred Lorenzer
Quer zum Gang seiner bisherigen Publikationen hat Lorenzer Aufsätze und Vortragsmanuskripte verfaßt, die in doppelter Hinsicht als Einführung in sein Konzept gelten können. Sie verdeutlichen in knappen Skizzen die Grundlinien und sie schneiden die Thematik in verschiedenen Perspektiven an, sie versuchen damit, die Zusammenhänge herzustellen, die in den großen Arbeiten aus analytischen Gründen getrennt worden waren: Die Zusammenhänge zwischen individuell-subjektiver Struktur und objektiv-gesellschaftlicher Struktur, zwischen Sprache und Unbewußtem, Sprache und sinnlich-unmittelbaren Praxiselementen.

Children's & YAA oficina do Cambeva (Cambeva's workshop)
by Lido Loschi
Cambeva's workshop is the first of four books of the collection "Presente de Vô" in partnership with Grupo Ponto de Partida. The book is a mixture of colours and elements that highlight the memory of the world, in which seekers of memories have the mission of bringing light and life to objects found in the travels of two characters: Zalém and Calunga. Cambeva is a restorer who, when the world lost its embrace, tried to reinvent it; he is the grandfather who mends dreams, forgotten things and lost emotions, to whom the seekers ask for help to fix something. In a magical universe, full of children, grandchildren, stories and memories of his lineage of restorers, when faced with this request for restoration, he makes room to bring back an emblematic figure who can no longer sing. A story about memories, care and affection...

Children's & YAOikoá
by Felipe Valério
The name of this book is Oikoá, which means life in the language of the Guarani Mbya people. This name was chosen because the indigenous peoples have been the guardians of life on planet Earth: it is in their territories that there are more types of trees and plants, animals, fish, birds, insects, and where the rivers and forests are best preserved.

Limnology (freshwater)September 2003Soil Fertility Decline in the Tropics
With Case Studies on Plantations
by Alfred E Hartemink
Wide coverage of soils and perennial cropping systems in the tropicsSynthesis of decades of researchChallenges assumptions on the benefits of plantations for soil fertilityIt is generally assumed that soil fertility decline is widespread in the tropics and that this is largely associated with annual cropping and subsistence farming. In contrast, perennial plant cover (as in plantation agriculture) provides better protection for the soil.This book reviews these concepts, focusing on soil chemical changes under different land-use systems in the tropics. These include perennial crops, annual crops and forest plantations. Two case studies, on sisal plantations in Tanzania and sugar cane in Papua New Guinea, are presented for detailed analysis. The author demonstrates that soil fertility decline is also a problem on plantations.
