        Alles halb so schlimm!

        by Lily Brett, Melanie Walz

        Es reicht schon eine Flugzeugentführung in einem weit entfernten Land, um Renia schreckensstarr zu machen. Sofort hängt sie sich ans Telefon und gibt ihrer leicht genervten Tochter Lola Anweisungen, wie sie sich in einem solchen Fall zu verhalten hätte. Jedenfalls nicht zugeben, daß sie Jüdin sei, denn »jeder will immer zuerst die Juden umbringen«. Was ist das letztlich für ein Glück, daß Lola keinen Juden, sondern den blonden, blauäugigen Rodney geheiratet hat! Dabei hatte die Familie Lola einst nach Israel geschickt, damit sie sich ihre diversen nichtjüdischen Verehrer aus dem Kopf schlage. Aber Lola »verabscheute Israel vom ersten Augenblick an«. Schockierenderweise läßt sich Lola später von Rodney scheiden. Wieder eine mittlere Katastrophe. Und natürlich mischen sich die Mitglieder der jüdischen Gemeinde mit guten Ratschlägen in jedes Familiendrama ein. Bis Lola sich aus den Bevormundungen, Vorschriften und Ratschlägen befreit, bedarf es vieler kleiner Rebellionen.

        Understanding the politics of heritage

        by Rodney Harrison

        Written by an interdisciplinary team of scholars, this authoritative text presents an engaging narrative of the way politics features in heritage conservation and management. New international case studies illustrate how notions of identity, social class and nationhood may be woven into the provision of official heritage, and how heritage may be seen to be less about upholding truth or authenticity and more about delivering political objectives. Aimed primarily at students in heritage studies and professionals in heritage industries, this book is one of three in the Understanding Global Heritage series.

        Revolutionary lives of the Red and Black Atlantic since 1917

        by David Featherstone, Christian Høgsbjerg, Alan Rice

        Revolutionary lives of the Red and Black Atlantic brings to light the life histories of a wide range of radical figures whose political activity in relation to the black liberation struggle was profoundly shaped by the global impact and legacy of the Russian Revolution of October 1917. The volume introduces new perspectives on the intellectual trajectories of well-known figures and critical activists including C. L. R. James, Paul Robeson, Walter Rodney and Grace P. Campbell. This biographical approach brings a vivid and distinctive lens to bear on how racialised social and political worlds were negotiated and experienced by these revolutionary figures, and on historic black radical engagements with left political movements, in the wake of the Russian Revolution.

        Soybean

        Genetics, Molecular Biology and Biotechnology

        by Edited by Desh P S Verma, Randy C Shoemaker

        Soybean is one of the world’s leading sources of seed oil and seed protein and is grown extensively, particularly in the Americas and Asia. Indeed, soybean is the lowest-cost producer of vegetable oil, since the oil is a coproduct of its protein-rich meal. Major advances have recently been made in our understanding of soybean genetics and of the application of new technologies to soybean improvement. Thus it is now possible, using molecular methods, to alter the protein and oil composition of soybean, as well as produce other foreign proteins in the plant. Further progress should permit the improvement of nitrogen fixation and other desirable traits. This book focuses on recent progress in our understanding of the genetics and molecular biology of soybean and provides a broad review of the subject, from genome diversity to transformation and integration of desired genes using current technologies. It is aimed at workers in legume agronomy, plant genetics, breeding and biotechnology.

        From Beveridge to Blair

        The first fifty years of Britain's welfare state 1948–98

        by Harry Bennett, Margaret Jones, Rodney Lowe

        The creation of Britain's welfare state in 1948 was an event of major international importance. Designed to provide a concise introduction to the evolution of both the structure of the welfare state and attitudes towards it. Concentrates on five core services: health care, education, social security, the personal social services and housing. For each service it examines the original vision, the attempts to implement this vision, the resulting complexities and controversies and, above all, the impact on individual 'customers'. A wide range of documentary evidence is used, including published and unpublished government sources, political memoirs, newspaper exposés and personal testimony. ;
