March 1987Von dem Fischer un syner Fru
by Philipp Otto Runge, Uwe Johnson, Marcus Behmer, Beate Jahn
Dieses Buch hat eine vielfache Geschichte: Zum einen enthält es das Märchen, das der Hamburger Maler Philipp Otto Runge nach der Volksüberlieferung aufgeschrieben hat und das später von den Brüdern Grimm in deren Märchensammlung übernommen wurde. Zum anderen enthält es die 1913 von Marcus Behmer geschaffenen Illustrationen. Erstmals erschien dieses kleine Buch 1920 und gehört zu jenen Veröffentlichungen, die das bibliophile Anliegen des Insel Verlages auf das Beste bezeugen. In bewußter Wahl von Papier, Schrift, Satz, Format und Illustration war eine Ausgabe entstanden, die wohl zu Recht von Buchliebhabern und Fachleuten – wie Hans A. Halbey schrieb – als »eines der vollkommensten Buchkunstwerke des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts« geschätzt wird.Nun wird eine dritte – festtägliche – Fassung vorgelegt: mit farbigen Bildern, deren Reproduktion ein von Marcus Behmer koloriertes Exemplar der Ausgabe von 1920 zugrunde liegt; und einem zusätzlichen, sich dem Künstler widmenden Nachwort.

September 1995Das steinerne Brautbett
Roman
by Harry Mulisch, Gregor Seferens
Zwölf Jahre nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg fährt Norman Corinth zu einem Kongreß in das zerstörte Dresden. Begegnungen und Auseinandersetzungen stürzen den Amerikaner, der als Mitglied einer Bomberbesatzung an dem schicksalhaften Angriff auf Dresden beteiligt war, in Verwirrung. Noch einmal erlebt Corinth Anflug und Abschuß des Bombers – bis sich die Krise in einem Heilschlaf löst. Mit diesem Prosadrama einer vorübergehenden, heilsamen Selbstentfremdung ist Harry Mulisch (geboren 1927) bereit 1959 ein Kriegsbruch gelungen, das die Schuldaufrechnung der ehemaligen Kriegsgegner furchtlos beiseite räumt, um eine Begegnung mit den Leiden und Schmerzen des Kriegs zu ermöglichen.

July 2023Urban Pest Management
An Environmental Perspective
by Partho Dhang
The management and control of pests in the urban environment in the 21st Century faces many challenges. Pest populations adapt to changing conditions brought about by environmental changes caused by global warming, human population growth, and increased pollution. Urban pests are able to expand their ranges, densities, and habitats, sometimes causing large-scale damage and disease. This book provides collective insights from academic and industry experts on perspectives concerning urban pest management and regulatory innovations arising from the rapid onset of recent environmental challenges. Chapter topics address pest biology, advances in urban pest management practices, emerging urban pest control developments, new technologies, and regulations. The book describes new methods of pest control, their impacts on human health and the environment, and strategies for integrated management limiting the use of chemicals. It provides a practical resource for researchers and policy makers in pest management, urban health, medical entomology and environmental science. · An up-to-date and comprehensive resource on environmental urban pest management · Designed to appeal to pest control operators, public health professionals, and a range of field workers, as well as researching academics and graduate students · Brings both academic and industry experts together in one volume

October 2017Not Our Day to Die
by Michael Sullivan
It was work for Mike Sullivan–a flying job like the ones he'd done most of his life in many parts of the world–ferrying people, medicine, crops, supplies and almost anything else you can think of among the isolated jungle villages of Guatemala. Life in the farming co-ops there was simple, peaceful, and good, based on bedrocks of family, community, and faith.Then the repression began. A failed attempt at a coup had led to continued fighting between rebels and government, though in areas far from the almost-utopian Ixcan region. U.S. military and CIA intervention helped defeat the insurgency, but the social inequalities that had led to the movement remained, and the revolution went underground. The Guatemalan army, searching everywhere for those who opposed it, increased its control over the isolated jungle area. Co-op directors, teachers, catechists, and then anyone suspected of being one of or assisting the guerrillas was selectively "disappeared." The army turned to a scorched-earth policy, killing animals, burning crops, uprooting fruit trees, destroying towns, massacring their people. Throughout the Ixcan, those who survived fled. Some returned to their original mountain villages, others crossed the border into Mexico, and a third group survived for sixteen years hiding in the jungle–men, women, and children. Primeval growth took over the land as the war with the guerrilla movement raged on to encompass the entire nation.When finally peace accords were signed, the people of the Ixcan returned. Homes were rebuilt, land reclaimed, the area thrived again. But sixteen years were lost, along with countless lives. For Mike Sullivan, who had returned there when his help was needed, the story of those years–of how the people of the Ixcan survived, and of the many who didn't–was one that had to be told. In three visits, he conducted the interviews that form this book, talking with the villagers he'd known long before. At first, they spoke hesitantly, then with the flood force of vivid memory, telling of their first arrival at the Ixcan, the lives they'd made, and the years of the repression and worse. Their stories are gripping, fascinating, painful–but most of all, deeply human as we witness their struggle to survive and feel the force of the simple values that ultimately carried them through to a new and better life.

December 2008Truman Capote für Boshafte
by Truman Capote, Ulrike Seyer
"Die junge Generation hat auch heute Respekt vor dem Alter, allerdings nur noch beim Wein, beim Whisky und bei den Möbeln." Norman Mailer bezeichnete Truman Capote als „vollkommensten Schriftsteller meiner Generation“: „Bissig wie meine Großtante schreibt er die besten Sätze, Wort für Wort, Takt für Takt.“ Und Tennessee Williams ergänzt: "Er ist eine entzückend lasterhafte alte Dame." Die besten Aussprüche und Boshaftigkeiten aus Truman Capotes Werk sind in diesem Band versammelt.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2013The Black Death
by Rosemary Horrox
This series provides texts central to medieval studies courses and focuses upon the diverse cultural, social and political conditions that affected the functioning of all levels of medieval society. Translations are accompanied by introductory and explanatory material and each volume includes a comprehensive guide to the sources' interpretation, including discussion of critical linguistic problems and an assessment of recent research on the topics covered. From 1348 to 1350 Europe was devastated by an epidemic that left between a third and one half of the population dead. This source book traces, through contemporary writings, the calamitous impact of the Black Death in Europe, with a particular emphasis on its spread across England from 1348 to 1349. Rosemary Horrox surveys contemporary attempts to explain the plague, which was universally regarded as an expression of divine vengeance for the sins of humankind. Moralists all had their particular targets for criticism. However, this emphasis on divine chastisement did not preclude attempts to explain the plague in medical or scientific terms. Also, there was a widespread belief that human agencies had been involved, and such scapegoats as foreigners, the poor and Jews were all accused of poisoning wells. The final section of the book charts the social and psychological impact of the plague, and its effect on the late-medieval economy.

December 2021Pest Management in Cotton
A Global Perspective
by Graham A. Matthews, Thomas A. Miller, Zeeshan Ahmed
This book presents a global overview of the background to, and the current state of, crop protection and pest management in cotton crops. Cotton is one of the most economically important crops in the world and has been grown for centuries but maintaining high yields of good quality requires sophisticated approaches to pest management. The introduction and use of pesticides over the decades significantly increased cotton yields but lead to many adverse environmental impacts. Over time, new and alternative insecticides were developed but overuse has enabled pests to develop significant resistance. The development of genetically modified cotton varieties with toxins derived from Bacillus thuringiensis enabled much improved control of lepidopteran larvae, including bollworms, but as the toxins had no effect on sucking pests, farmers had no choice but to continue using insecticides. Also, some of the new cotton varieties developed in recent times have not adapted to different climatic conditions and the quality of cotton fibre declined as a result. This book shows the need for more research to select cotton varieties with high quality fibres suitable for different cotton growing areas and to develop integrated pest management strategies to minimise the use of pesticides. It also demonstrates the need for an inter-disciplinary approach bringing together plant breeders, entomologists, plant pathologists, agronomists and agricultural engineers to achieve high yields of high quality cotton. In the future, farmers will need to adopt new technology to determine when and how pesticides are used in conjunction with cultural and biological control strategies. · Emphasises the importance of research on growing cotton in a world experiencing climate change · Demonstrates how crucial crop protection is in achieving high yields of high quality cotton · Shows how new technology will bring major changes in how cotton is grown in the future
