No Art
Poems / Gedichte
by Ben Lerner, Steffen Popp, Monika Rinck, Alexander Kluge
Ben Lerner ist einer der klügsten und innovativsten amerikanischen Dichter der Gegenwart. No Art zeigt das breite Spektrum lyrischer Formate, das Lerner beherrscht und fortwährend weiterentwickelt: das zerstörte Sonett, das poetische Denkbild, die gestisch verschobene Elegie, die Rekombination und Variation von Reden und sprachlichen Gesten über den einzelnen Text hinaus. Wiederkehrende Themenbereiche, Vertextungsverfahren und sprachliche Referenzsysteme werden sichtbar, an erster Stelle eine doppelte Auseinandersetzung: mit der kulturellen und politischen Gegenwart der Vereinigten Staaten und der Frage, wie sich denkend und sprechend darauf zugreifen lässt. Alexander Kluge bescheinigt Lerners Gedichten »einen völlig autonomen Duktus und Rhythmus« und schreibt in seinem Vorwort: »Zugleich finden sich in dieser Strömung von Worten blitzartig hochkonzentrierte Funken an Information, an Witz und inhaltlicher Präzision. So treffen hier Ideale der Kritischen Theorie (…) mit einer gediegenen New Yorker Modernität zusammen.«

Die Ebenen
Roman
by Gerald Murnane, Rainer G. Schmidt, Ben Lerner
In den Ebenen im Outback, auf ihren riesigen Ländereien, leben Familien, die eine eigentümliche, teils fort-, teils rückschrittliche Kultur pflegen. Besessen von der eigenen Überlieferung, heuern sie Maler, Musiker, Schriftsteller und Denker an, um jeden Aspekt ihres Lebens dokumentieren zu lassen. Ein junger Filmemacher kommt in die Region, um ein Porträt jener Ebenen zu realisieren. Doch statt in die Landschaft zu gehen, vergräbt er sich in der labyrinthartigen Bibliothek seines Gönners, durch die, auf verschiedenen Zeit-Ebenen, Projektionen von Frauen geistern. Alles treibt auf »Offenbarungen« hin … Die Ebenen ist ein moderner Klassiker der australischen Literatur und erzählt – in einer hypnotisierenden Prosa von akrobatischem Bau – die Geschichte einer existenziell aufgeladenen Suche und eines sonderbaren Selbstverlustes. Mit einem Nachwort von Ben Lerner

The reign of Richard II
From minority to tyranny 1377–97
by Alison McHardy
The long-awaited prequel to Chronicles of the revolution covers the first twenty years (1377-97) of Richard II's reign. This richly-documented period offers exceptional opportunities and challenges to students, and the editor has selected material from a wide range of sources: well-known English chronicles, foreign chronicles and legal, administrative and financial records. These are arranged chronologically to form a coherent narrative of the reign. Clear and lively commentary and notes enable readers to make the fullest use of each document. The introduction describes the complex domestic and international situation which confronted the young king and offers guidance on the strengths and weaknesses of the reign's leading chronicles. The dramatic and diverse politics of the reign of Richard II make this the ideal special subject and an accessible, affordable, student-friendly documentary history of Richard II's reign has long been needed. This book is designed to fill that gap.

Pippins Tochters Taschentuch
Roman
by Rosmarie Waldrop, Ben Lerner
Hätten Josef und Frederika Seifert mal besser nicht geheiratet!? Der Ort ist Kitzingen am Main, es sind die späten Zwanziger. Josef ist Kriegsveteran und Lehrer, sehr ins Metaphysische entrückt, Frederika rasend frustrierte Sängerin, rasend frustrierte femme fatale, die, unfähig zu den spirituellen Sublimationen ihres Mannes, bereits wenige Wochen nach der Trauung eine Affäre mit seinem besten Freund beginnt. Ist dieser Seitensprung an allem schuld, was folgen wird? Das fragt – ein halbes Jahrhundert später – Lucy, die älteste Tochter, in Briefen an ihre Schwester (oder ist es ihre Halbschwester?). Hätte ihre Mutter nur ein Machtwort sprechen müssen, was die Musik Richard Wagners angeht, damit sich alles ganz anders entwickelt? Und hat der Umstand, dass Frederikas Liebhaber Jude war, Josefs Faszination für den Nationalsozialismus weiter entfacht? Rosmarie Waldrop hat einen agilen, feinsinnigen und derben Roman geschrieben. Über eine marode Familie im anschwellenden Nationalsozialismus. Über Sehnsüchte, Enttäuschungen und Verrat. Über kleine Ursachen und große Wirkungen. Und über die beharrliche Ambivalenz einer nicht wirklich zu bewältigenden Vergangenheit.

Aphids as Crop Pests
by Helmut F van Emden, Richard Harrington
Aphids are among the major global pest groups, causing serious economic damage to many food and commodity crops in most parts of the world. This revision and update of the well-received first edition published ten years ago reflects the expansion of research in genomics, endosymbionts and semiochemicals, as well as the shift from control of aphids with insecticides to a more integrated approach imposed by increasing resistance in the aphids and government restrictions on pesticides. The book remains a comprehensive and up-to-date reference work on the biology of aphids, the various methods of controlling them and the progress of integrated pest management as illustrated by ten case histories. Helmut van Emden is Emeritus Professor of Horticulture at the University of Reading, UK. He has researched on aphids for over 50 years and has wide international experience, including in the tropics. Richard Harrington retired in 2015 as Head of the Rothamsted Insect Survey, with which he worked for 36 years on aphid monitoring and forecasting. He led the EU project "EXAMINE" (Exploitation of Aphid Monitoring In Europe) which brought together colleagues involved in aphid monitoring throughout Europe and beyond. ; A comprehensive reference on the biology and management of aphids occurring in crops, this new edition reflects the expansion of genomic research, semiochemicals and endosymbionts, and the shift away from purely chemical control towards more integrated methods. ; -: Preface to the First Edition -: Preface to the Second Edition 1: Taxonomic Issues 2: Aphid Genomics and its Contribution to Understanding Aphids as Crop Pests 3: Conventional Molecular Markers and Genomics Tools 4: Life Cycles and Polyphenism 5: Growth and Development 6: Nutrition and Symbiosis 7: Aphids and Stress 8: Chemical Ecology 9: Host-Plant Selection and Feeding 10: Aphid Movement: Process and Consequences 11: Predators, Parasitoids and Pathogens 12: Population Dynamics: Cycles and Patterns 13: Aphid Population Dynamics: From Fields to Landscapes 14: Feeding Injury 15: Transmission of Plant Viruses 16: Monitoring and Forecasting 17: Decision Support Systems 18: Chemical Control 19: Insecticide Resistance 20: Biological Control 21: Cultural Control 22: Host-Plant Resistance 23: Integrated Pest Management and Introduction to IPM Case Studies 24: IPM Case Studies: Grain 25: IPM Case Studies: Sorghum 26: IPM Case Studies: Leafy Salad Crops 27: IPM Case Studies: Brassicas 28: IPM Case Studies: Cucurbits 29: IPM Case Studies: Seed Potato 30: IPM Case Studies: Cotton 31: IPM Case Studies: Berry Crops 32: IPM Case Studies: Deciduous Fruit Tree Aphids 33: IPM Case Studies: Tropical and Subtropical Fruit Trees
