January 1982Anna Livia Plurabelle
by James Joyce, Georg Goyert
›Anna Livia Plurabelle‹ ist das berühmteste, meistzitierte Kapitel des unübersetzbarsten aller Bücher, »Finnegans Wake« von James Joyce. Unser Band bringt den Text des Originals, eine alte und zwei neue Übertragungen (von Wolfgang Hildesheimer und Hans Wollschläger) und eine Einführung von Klaus Reichert. ALP, nach Arno Schmidt die »All-Frau«, die Zusammensetzung »aus der schönen rot-gehaarten Isolde, den Maggies und sonstigen ›Stundentänzerinnen‹«, ist für Joyce das weibliche Prinzip des Universums, Wasser, Erde, Eva, Isis, Isolde und Psyche in einem; sie tritt zu Beginn des Buches mit den Fluten der Liffey auf und wird am Ende im Traum wie ein Fluß dem väterlichen Ozean zugetragen, wo alles sich verliert, sich wiederfindet und von neuem beginnt. »Was soll nun der deutsche Leser mit dem Buch anfangen? Er kann sich ans Nach-Prüfen, Nach-Denken, Nach-Schmecken, Nach-Sprechen von Hildesheimers und Wollschlägers Übertragung machen. Er wird entdecken, daß »Finnegans Wake« doch, wenn man nicht den falschen Ehrgeiz hegt, gleich alles ›verstehen‹ zu wollen, ein ›funeral‹ ist, nämlich eines der Begräbnisse des herkömmlichen Romans, und ein ›fun for all‹, ein Spaß für alle.« »Jörg Drews«

December 2023The Coconut
Botany, Production and Uses
by Stephen W Adkins, Julianne Biddle, Amirhossein Bazrafshan, Sundaravelpandian Kalaipandian
The coconut palm (Cocos nucifera L.) is one of the world's most important palms, and contributes significantly to the income and livelihood of many people in tropical countries. Widely referred to as the 'tree of life', coconut has been used as a source of food, drink, oil, medicine, shelter and wood for around 500 years. Every part of the coconut palm can be utilized. The demand for coconut fruit and its products has increased recently as people have become aware of its nutritional and health benefits, especially those of coconut water and virgin coconut oil. This book covers all aspects of coconut including origins and diversity; ecophysiology; production in a changing climate; pests and diseases; harvest and postharvest management; breeding and genetics; as well as the current and future status of coconut as an economic crop. This book is a key resource for researchers and students in horticulture, plant science and agriculture, and those interested in the production of tropical crops, and practitioners in the coconut industry.

June 2016Palm Desert
Neal Careys fünfter Fall
by Don Winslow, Conny Lösch
Zum Abschluss seiner großartigen Neal-Carey-Reihe schickt Don Winslow seinen literaturbegeisterten Privatdetektiv auf einen Trip durch Nevada. An seiner Seite ein achtzigjähriger Comedian. Über ihm die sengende Sonne. Vor ihm endlose Wüste. Und ihm auf den Fersen ein kurioses Gangsterduo, das Neal und seinen Begleiter den Geiern zum Fraß vorwerfen will. Zum ersten Mal, seit Neal Carey für die »Bank« arbeitet, kommt es ihm nahezu gelegen, dass er einen neuen Auftrag erhält. So kann er wenigstens für eine Weile der Frage entgehen, ob er wirklich Vater werden will. Abgesehen davon ist der Auftrag ein Witz - im fast buchstäblichen Sinne: Neal soll den achtzigjährigen Comedian Natty Silver aus Las Vegas abholen und zurück in sein Seniorendomizil in Palm Desert bringen. Doch Natty entpuppt sich nicht nur als dauerwitzelnde Nervensäge, die die Reise zum Höllentrip macht, er hat außerdem so gar keine Lust, zurückgebracht zu werden. Nach und nach schwant Neal, warum das so ist - kurz bevor er lernen muss, dass man durchaus auch in der Wüste ertrinken kann ... Alle Titel der Neal-Carey-Serie: London Undercover (Neal Carey 1)China Girl (Neal Carey 2)Way Down on the High Lonely (Neal Carey 3 – angekündigt unter dem Titel Holy Nevada)A Long Walk Up the Water Slide (Neal Carey 4 – angekündigt unter dem Titel Lady Las Vegas)Palm Desert (Neal Carey 5)

March 2007Anna Amalia. Herzogin von Weimar
by Annette Seemann, Constantin Beyer
Wer war diese Anna Amalia, die sich von der charmanten jungen Rokokoprinzessin zur Schutzgöttin der Künste wandelte? Dieser reichbebilderte Band illustriert den Lebensweg einer vielschichtigen Persönlichkeit, der es gelang, die eigenen künstlerischen Interessen für die kulturelle Entwicklung des Herzogtums Weimar fruchtbar zu machen. Das klassische Weimar ist ohne Anna Amalia (1739–1807), die Mutter Carl Augusts, undenkbar. Unter ihrer Regentschaft verwandelte sich die kleine Residenz zum geistigen Zentrum der Goethezeit. Es gelang ihr, herausragende Geister der Epoche – darunter Goethe, Wieland, Herder und Schiller – an ihren Hof zu ziehen. Sie begründete den »Weimarer Musenhof« mit seinen berühmten Leseabenden; sie förderte das deutsche Theater und verband das aristokratische Rokoko mit der neuen bürgerlichen Gefühlskultur. Ihre große Italienreise spiegelt die Italienbegeisterung der Zeit und Goethes Einfluß. Annette Seemann schildert den Lebensweg einer der bedeutendsten aufgeklärten Fürstinnen ihrer Zeit. Ein Akzent ihrer Darstellung liegt auf dem vielleicht größten Verdienst der Herzogin: der Gründung der »Herzogin Anna Amalia Bibliothek«. Nach dem verheerenden Brand des Jahres 2004 wird sie in Anna Amalias 200. Todesjahr nach umfangreichen Restaurierungen wieder zur Benutzung freigegeben.

Technology, Engineering & AgricultureAugust 2019Nursery Practices in Oil Palm
A Manual
by Brian P Forster, Peter D. S. Caligari, Nur D Laksono, Umi Setiawati, Fazrin Nur, Miranti Rahmaningsih, Yassier Anwar, Heru Rusfiandi, Eben Haeser Sembiring, Brian P Forster, Avasarala Sreenivasa Subbarao, Hafni Zahara
This is a hands-on, practical guide to general and specific practices in oil palm nurseries to produce healthy, vigorous and uniform plants ready for field planting. There are two nursery stages, a pre-nursery and a main nursery. The pre-nursery receives both germinated seeds and tissue culture produced plantlets (ramets) which are planted in small pots in a relatively small area in which shade and humidity can be controlled. Once seedlings and ramets are established they are transferred to the main nursery, potted-on and grown on to produce field-ready plants.

Technology, Engineering & AgricultureNovember 2019Field Trials in Oil Palm Breeding
A Manual
by Baihaqi Sitepu, Umi Setiawati, Fazrin Nur, Nur D Laksono, Yassier Anwar, Pujo Widodo, Brian P Forster, Dan Dwarko, Brian P Forster, Peter D. S. Caligari
This is a hands-on, practical guide to describe field trials in oil palm. The location for field trials is key, as is land preparation. Other logistics include the germination of seeds from crossing programmes, planting in a nursery and well-grown seedlings for field planting. The trial design needs to be translated into field lay out. Field planting is a critical point requiring plant care, good labelling, field lining and a system of checks, and must be timed to the rainy season. Recording of trials starts 1 year after planting for crown disease assessment and continues for yield approximately 30 months after field planting. Growth measurements also begin 30 months after planting. Tests for oil yield and quality are carried out one year after yield recording.
