Zeit der Verheißungen
Roman
by Tahmima Anam, Anke Caroline Burger
In ihrem vielfach ausgezeichneten, bereits in mehr als 20 Sprachen übersetzten Roman erzählt Tahmima Anam die Geschichte einer Familie: eine Geschichte von Liebe und Revolution, von Glaube, Hoffnung und unerwartetem Heldentum. Im Chaos des Krieges in Bangladesch muß jeder wählen, zu welcher Seite er gehören will. Rehana Haque hat zunächst nur ein Ziel: ihre Kinder zu retten. Und schließlich muß auch sie eine schwere Entscheidung treffen. Dhaka, Ostpakistan, am Vorabend des Unabhängigkeitskrieges. Rehana Haque ist glücklich: Wie jedes Jahr feiert sie die Rückkehr ihrer Kinder Maja und Sohail, die sie nach dem Tod ihres Mannes zu verlieren fürchtete. Im Garten ihres Hauses blühen die Rosen, ihr Spezialgericht Biryani ist gelungen, die Kinder, bald erwachsen, sind noch immer der Mittelpunkt ihres Lebens und erwidern die Liebe der Mutter respektvoll und zärtlich. Doch in der Stadt brodelt es. Der bengalische Oppositionsführer Mujib hat die Wahl gewonnen, aber die pakistanische Regierung weigert sich, ihn anzuerkennen. Aufruhr liegt in der Luft. Maja und Sohail, die in der Studentenbewegung für die Unabhängigkeit engagiert sind, zieht es zu ihren Freunden. Doch keiner von Rehanas Gästen ahnt, was folgen wird. Der Freiheitskampf in Bangladesch wird von Pakistan unfaßbar grausam unterdrückt. Und das Leben von Rehana und ihrer Familie wird von Grund auf erschüttert werden.

Mein fremder Bruder
Roman

Als er seinen Sohn Zaid auf eine entfernte Koranschule schickt, wo er misshandelt wird, ist für Maya das Maß voll. Vor dem Hintergrund der Geschichte Bangladeschs erzählt Tahmima Anam eine bewegende Familiengeschichte. Eindrucksvoll stellt sie religiösem Fanatismus die sanftmütige, respektvolle muslimische Kultur gegenüber.

Handbook of Invasive Plant-parasitic Nematodes
by Ziaul Haque, Mujeebur Rahman Khan
Plant parasitic nematodes are major pests of agricultural crops and cause huge monetary losses. There is a very high risk of spread of plant-parasitic nematodes from one country to another, with the movement of plants and planting materials such as seeds, bulbs, corms, suckers, tubers, rhizomes, rooted plants, nursery stock and cut flowers. In view of the large quantities and the wide variety of materials being imported and exported, it is important to assess the status of invasive nematodes and their quarantine importance in relation to agricultural trade. This book contains information on around 100 invasive nematodes and their potential threat in different countries. Each nematode entry includes information on authentic identification, geographical distribution, risk of introduction, host ranges, symptoms, biology, ecology, planting material liable to carry the nematode(s), nematode vectors, chance of establishment, likely impact, and phytosanitary measures. There are detailed accounts of diagnosis procedures including sampling, isolation, detection and identification of nematodes based on morphological and molecular characters. The book offers a global perspective on invasive plant-parasitic nematodes and useful for practitioners, professionals, scientists, researchers, students, and government officials working in plant quarantine and biosecurity.

Lesser Known Medicinal Plants
Cultivation & Utilization Techniques
by Raviraja Shetty G, & Tamanna Arif
Interest in medicinal plants as a re-emerging health aid has been fuelled by the rising costs of prescription drugs in the maintenance of personal health and well-being. Herbal-based traditional medicine has become popular in developed countries in recent years, and its use is likely to increase in the coming years. This system has advantages over the modern medicine as it is prophylactic. Therefore, it would be a wise step if most of medicinal plants, which are lesser known to mankind but have immense potential, particularly those which are in high demand and rare should be cultivated and brought into limelight. The basis for this book originally have been stemmed from the passion of both the authors in order to develop better methods of conveying and spreading the cultivation aspects of many crops and its uses by compiling the information available. As the world moves further into the advanced age, along with generating vast amount of information, there will be a greater need to access legacy plant materials with technology available. Thus this book helps in accessing the information on rare medicinal plants and thereby breaking down barriers of accessibility of limited information.
