January 2022Polio, Third Edition
by Alan Hecht, D.C.
Until the middle of the twentieth century, polio affected people all over the world. The disease, caused by a virus in the genus Enterovirus, often left its survivors with weakened muscles or varying degrees of paralysis. In their later years, many once-healthy survivors experienced a condition known as post-polio syndrome. Once effective vaccines were developed, polio was eradicated in the United States and other countries, although it still remains a threat in a few developing countries. Polio, Third Edition contains new illustrations and updated coverage of all aspects of this disease, including the latest vaccination information, world outbreak and immunization statistics, and a progress report on international efforts to eradicate polio. Chapters include: The History of Polio The Transmission of Polio and How It Affects the Body Vaccines and How They Work Just When We Thought It Was Safe: Post-Polio Syndrome What Lies Ahead? The Future of Polio.

MedicineApril 2018Bovine Tuberculosis
by Mark Chambers, Stephen Gordon, Francisco Olea-Popelka, Paul Barrow
This book is contemporary, topical and global in its approach, and provides an essential, comprehensive treatise on bovine tuberculosis and the bacterium that causes it, Mycobacterium bovis. Bovine tuberculosis remains a major cause of economic loss in cattle industries worldwide, exacerbated in some countries by the presence of a substantial wildlife reservoir. It is a major zoonosis, causing human infection through consumption of unpasteurised milk or by close contact with infected animals. Following a systematic approach, expert international authors cover epidemiology and the global situation; microbial virulence and pathogenesis; host responses to the pathogen; and diagnosis and control of the disease. Aimed at researchers and practising veterinarians, this book is essential for those needing comprehensive information on the pathogen and disease, and offers a summary of key information learned from human tuberculosis research. It will be useful to those studying the infection and for those responsible for controlling the disease.

Science & MathematicsDecember 2019Courtship and Mating in Butterflies
by Raymond J.C. Cannon
The aim of this book is to present a readable account of butterfly behaviour, based on field observations, great photographs and the latest research. The main focus is on courtship and mating - including perching, searching and territorial behaviour - but to understand these subjects it is necessary to explain how mates are chosen and this requires sections on wing colours and patterns. A chapter on butterfly vision is also essential in terms of how butterflies see the world and each other. There have been exciting discoveries in all of these fields in recent years, including: butterfly vision (butterfly photoreceptors), wing patterns (molecular biology), wing colouration (structural colours and nano-architecture), mating strategies and female choice (ecology and behaviour).

Historical fiction2019Union
by Volodymyr Yeshkilev
The new power brewed and fermented like young wine, giving birth to hopes and dreams of prosperity. In the dark and secret places new and young power met with the old power - gray and wild, infused with aged honey and witches. The two united in a blend, full of energy, movement, joyful fury and enterprising madness ", - writes Vladimir Yeshkiliev about Ukraine in the middle of the XVII century in his historical novel "Union", the first from the trilogy "Cursed Hetmans ". The novel is about Ivan Vyhovsky and hopes of a hereditary Ukrainian aristocracy to occupy a worthy place of Ukraine-Rus in the most modern of the then states - the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, about the role of the Orthodox Church in those events, about the catastrophe that came after the victorious Konotop battle. As in previous novels of Yeshkiliev, the detailed reconstruction of historic events is complemented by a thoroughly verified privately researched information, that is not widely known or has been deliberately omitted by historians and that reveals new details about the epoch of Hetmans in Ukraine and its tangible events.

October 2016Vom Kontinent zur Union
Gegenwart und Geschichte des vereinten Europa
by Luuk van Middelaar
Euro-Krise, »Flüchtlingskrise«, »Brexit« – die EU befindet sich an einem historischen Scheideweg. Nachdem es jahrzehntelang den Anschein hatte, die »Verwirklichung einer immer engeren Union der Völker Europas« sei nur eine Frage der Zeit, stellen unvorhergesehene Ereignisse die Logik der Integration infrage. Nationale Interessen rücken in den Vordergrund, das Ringen um gemeinsame Lösungen wird immer verzweifelter. Luuk van Middelaar, ein exzellenter Kenner der Brüsseler Praxis, verwandelt eine vermeintlich trockene Materie in den Stoff einer faszinierenden Erzählung. Beginnend mit dem 18. April 1951, als die Vertreter der sechs Gründerstaaten im französischen Außenministerium am Quai d’Orsay den Vertrag über die Errichtung der Montanunion unterzeichneten, schildert er die wichtigsten Etappen – und Krisen – auf dem Weg vom Kontinent zur Union. Er lässt die Atmosphäre dramatischer Gipfelnächte lebendig werden, zeigt, wie Politiker immer wieder versucht haben, die Öffentlichkeit von Europa zu überzeugen, und erinnert uns daran, welch einmaliges historisches Projekt aktuell auf dem Spiel steht.

Suitcases and Backpacks
by Chava Kohavi Pines
Suitcases and Backpacksis a testimony of intricate detail that describes a young girl’s survival in ghettos and concentration camps between 1942 and 1945. Readers follow her journey from Vienna to the Theresienstadt Ghetto, then to Auschwitz and to a labor camp near Breslau, followed by the alienation she feels upon returning to Vienna, her subsequent journey to Prague, and, finally, the realization of her dream to immigrate to Palestine. The original edition published in Hebrew has proved interesting to readers of all ages. Chava Kohavi Pines was born Eva Hirsch in 1927 in Vienna, Austria, to a middle-class Jewish family. Since immigrating to Palestine in 1946, the author has resided in Kibbutz Dorot in the northern Negev where she worked as a teacher and counselor for years. Only with forty years’ distance from the trauma of her youth has she been able to write an account of some of her experiences during the Holocaust. An English-language eBook edition was published in late 2014 by Samuel Wachtman's Sons Inc., CA. An Italian edition was published in early 2017 by Edizioni Terra Santa, Milano. 80 pages, 14 x 21.5 cm

Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 2022Britain and its internal others, 1750–1800
Under rule of law
by Dana Rabin
The rule of law, an ideology of equality and universality that justified Britain's eighteenth-century imperial claims, was the product not of abstract principles but imperial contact. As the Empire expanded, encompassing greater religious, ethnic and racial diversity, the law paradoxically contained and maintained these very differences. This book revisits six notorious incidents that occasioned vigorous debate in London's courtrooms, streets and presses: the Jewish Naturalization Act and the Elizabeth Canning case (1753-54); the Somerset Case (1771-72); the Gordon Riots (1780); the mutinies of 1797; and Union with Ireland (1800). Each of these cases adjudicated the presence of outsiders in London - from Jews and Gypsies to Africans and Catholics. The demands of these internal others to equality before the law drew them into the legal system, challenging longstanding notions of English identity and exposing contradictions in the rule of law.

Pest controlOctober 2008Root Feeders
An Ecosystem Perspective
by Edited by Scott N Johnson, Phillip J Murray.
Interactions between plants and herbivores can have a significant effect on plant growth and development, and ultimately, on a plant's economic value. Research has traditionally focused on aboveground herbivores, despite the considerable role that belowground herbivory by both vertebrates and invertebrates can play within a range of ecosystem processes. Root feeders have been classified as agricultural pests but can also be used as biological control agents against invasive species and can affect community dynamics of plants, soil micro-organisms and populations of aboveground organisms. Bringing together a broad range of viewpoints and approaches, Root Feeders presents a comprehensive review of knowledge on root herbivores and illustrates their importance within ecosystems. Chapters discuss problems of visualizing the organisms in the soil, their role in agriculture, grassland and forest ecosystems, and present specific case studies on the management, control and influence of root feeders. Covering all aspects from food web ecology to the effects of climate change, this will be valuable reading for researchers and professionals in agricultural entomology, plant science, ecology and soil science.

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2005The holocaust
Critical historical approaches
by Donald Bloxham, Tony Kushner
Despite the massive literature on the Holocaust, our understanding of it has traditionally been influenced by rather unsophisticated early perspectives and silences. This book summarises and criticises the existing scholarship on the subject and suggests new ways by which we can approach its study. It addresses the use of victim testimony and asks important questions: What function does recording the past serve for the victim? What do historians want from it? Are these two perspectives incompatible? The perpetrators of the Holocaust and the development of the murder process are closely examined. The book also compares the mentalities of the killers and the contexts of the killing with those in other acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing in the first half of the twentieth century, searching for an explanation within these comparisons. In addition, it looks at the bystanders to the Holocaust - considering the complexity and ambiguity at the heart of contemporary responses, especially within the western liberal democracies. Ultimately, this text highlights the essential need to place the Holocaust in the broadest possible context, emphasising the importance of producing high quality but sensitive scholarship in its study. ;

May 1997Holocaust und Literatur
by Sem Dresden, Andreas Ecke, Gregor Seferens
"Der Autor zeigt in seinem Essay mögliche Zusammenhänge zwischen dem Dargestellten und sprachlichen oder formalen Merkmalen literarischer Texte über den Holocaust; auffällig oft entdeckt man einen Stil, der bei aller Beherrschtheit und scheinbaren Ruhe von irrsinnigen Empfindungen geprägt zu sein scheint und zerrüttet wirkt wie das Leben unter den Bedingungen des Holocaust. Der niederländische Literaturwissenschaftler Sem Dresden schildert die Bedingungen, unter denen in Ghettos und Lagern geschrieben wurde; er beschreibt die Wirkung dieser Zeugnisse und der späteren Literatur des Holocaust auf Leser, die Gefühle der Schuld und Scham, die auch die Überlebenden kennen, die Fragwürdigkeit des Erfolgs mancher Werke. In drei aufeinanderfolgenden Kapiteln legt Dresden dar, daß das Thema der Verfolgung und Vernichtung es unmöglich macht, herkömmliche Kriterien der Beurteilung von Literatur anzuwenden."
