Agronomy & crop productionDecember 2015The Handbook of Mites of Economic Plants
Identification, Bio-ecology and Control
by Vincenzo Vacante
Mites pose a serious problem to plants worldwide, attacking crops and spreading disease. When mites damage crops of economic importance the impacts can be felt globally. Mites are among the most diverse and successful of invertebrates, with over 45,000 described species, with many more thousands to be discovered. They are responsible for a significant portion of the losses of crops for food, fibre, industry and other purposes, and require expensive and often controversial pest control measures. Understanding these mites is vital for entomologists, pest researchers, agronomists and food producers. Knowledge of mite pests helps to inform control strategies and optimize the production of economic plants and the agrarian economy. This encyclopedia provides a thorough coverage of the mites and the problems they cause to crops, yet it is easily searchable, organised by mite species and subdivided into helpful headings. It takes a worldwide view of the issue of mites injurious to economic plants, describing mites prevalent in different regions and discussing control methods appropriate in different environments. This book provides an encyclopaedic reference to the major mites, described by family in terms of their internal and external morphology, bio-ecology and family systematics. Methods of mite collection and laboratory study is described, as well as species diagnostic characteristics, worldwide distribution, host plants, identification by the type of damage they cause and control strategies, including chemical and biological intervention and integrated pest management measures. Mites of the following families are included: (Eriophyoidea, Tarsonemidae, Tuckerellidae, Tenuipalpidae, Tetranychidae, Acaridae, Penthaleidae). The Handbook of Mites of Economic Plants is an important resource for students of entomology and crop production, and as a thorough reference guide for researchers and field workers involved with mites, crop damage and food production.

May 2000Sizilien
Ein literarisches Landschaftsbild
by Ralf Nestmeyer
Sizilien gehört seit jeher zu den klassischen Zielen der Kulturreisenden, und »Italien ohne Sizilien macht gar kein Bild in der Seele: hier ist erst der Schlüssel zu allem« stellte Johann Wolfgang Goethe in seiner Italienischen Reise fest. Goethes Reisebericht steht zusammen mit dem des Baron von Riedesel und Johann Gottfried Seumes Spaziergang nach Syrakus am Anfang der touristischen Erkundung der größten italienischen Insel. »Sizilien als Reiseziel« bildet den ersten Teil dieses Sizilien-Lesebuchs. Ein ganz anderes Bild vermitteln die Texte einheimischer Autoren im zweiten Teil, allen voran Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusas Der Leopard. Zusammen mit Giovanni Verga, Elio Vittorino, Leonardo Sciascia, Vincenzo Console und Gesualdo Bufalino gehört Lampedusa zu den Sizilianern, die die italienische Literatur entscheidend geprägt haben, und mit Luigi Pirandello und Giuseppe Quasimodo hat die Insel sogar zwei Nobelpreisträger hervorgebracht.

November 1998Das Leben ist schön
by Vincenzo Cerami, Roberto Benigni, Sigrid Vagt
Der Film erzählt die Geschichte von Guido und Dora, eine komisch-märchenhafte Liebesgeschichte, die sich zur Tragödie wendet, als der Jude Guido und sein kleiner Sohn Giosué deportiert werden. Dora, die nicht jüdisch ist, folgt ihnen aus Liebe freiwillig ins Konzentrationslager. Guido ist entschlossen, das Kind vor den Schrecken der Realität zu schützen. Er tarnt die eigene Angst und Erschöpfung und behält seinen Witz, seine Fröhlichkeit und seine spielerischen Fähigkeiten unter den unmenschlichsten Bedingungen. Giosué soll weiter daran glauben, daß das Leben schön ist. Selbst wenn das Schlimmste passiert.

Vincenzo lives in Sicily in the Eighties. Though only twelve years old, he is sexually precocious and pursues whichever of his female cousins he can get his hands on.
