        Plant Taxonomy and Biosystematics

        Classical and Modern Methods

        by T.S.Rana, K.N.Nair & D.K.Upreti

        The basic aim of this manual is to provide useful resource materials for training young students and faculties working in the area of plant systematics. The manual provides updated information on basic as well as applied aspects of plant systematics on various groups of plants like Algae, Lichens, Bryophytes, Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms and Angiosperms. 1 to 3 describe the various approaches and methods to study microbial and fungal diversity, which is basically a very useful precursor to the students and young researchers. 4 and 5 provide deals with the multi-dimensional approaches in Lichen systematics. The book progresses upwards through the plethora of information on the diversity and systematics of Algae, Bryophytes, Pteridophytes and Gymnosperms ( 6-10). 11 to 15 contain on the plant methodological details identification, approaches and methods of Flora, revision, monograph and development of herbarium. This information is very important for the students and young faculties who intend to pursue their researches in plant taxonomy. 14 and 15 particularly provide all the relevant information on the International Code of Plant nomenclature including cultivated plants. These s per se are very significant for the amateur as well as serious readers of plant taxonomy. Plant taxonomy and biosystematics is a dynamic subject, as it derives information from various other disciplines like palynology, seed morphology, pharmacognosy, molecular biology, etc. We have, therefore, broaden the scope of this book by including the s on palynology, seed morphology, molecular systematics, biostatistics, ecological and remote sensing methods for diversity analyses, and pharmacognostical tools for identification of herbal drugs ( 16-22). The knowledge and information on these applied aspects of biology in relation to taxonomy will certainly infuse the interest in readers, who are pursuing plant taxonomy as their scientific pursuits. 23 and 24 describe the various methods of characterization and evaluation of ornamental and medicinal plants. The last (25) of the book provides the information about CSIR-NBRI Botanic Garden and its various repositories, which could be of great interest to the readers from the perspectives of plant conservation.

        The Admiral's Baths

        by Dana Gynther

        The Admiral’s Baths is composed of four inter-connected stories, each told from the perspective of a different woman in her own time period.  The story opens as a contemporary historian conducts research at the baths, making discoveries which lead us back in time. History unfolds through the stories of the struggles, desires, tragedies, and triumphs of these four protagonists. Although they are separated by hundreds of years, we find that what connects them is more powerful than the passage of time. The Admiral’s Baths (102,300 words) revolves around an actual monument in Valencia, Spain, a medieval public bathhouse which was open for nearly seven centuries and is now a museum.  Some years ago, I translated several articles about the monument, covering its history, owners, architecture, and restoration. I became fascinated with the subject, and was particularly struck by its longevity. The Baths’ long history became an integral part of the story; instead of choosing one moment in the Baths’ – and Spain’s—history, I chose four: the 14th, 16th, and 19th centuries as well as the 21st.

        Die Massenvergewaltigungen deutscher Frauen und Mädchen 1944/45

        by Ingo von Münch

        Zu den schlimmsten Verbrechen im Zweiten Weltkrieg gehören die Massenvergewaltigungen deutscher Frauen und Mädchen durch sowjetische Soldaten 1944/45. Viele dieser Frauen und Mädchen wurden nicht ein Mal, sondern viele Male sexuell mißbraucht. Weder Kinder noch Greisinnen blieben verschont. Verläßlichen Schätzungen zufolge wurden rund zwei Millionen Frauen und Mädchen Opfer jener Vergewaltigungen. Das ungeheure Ausmaß dieser Verbrechen und der durch sie verursachten menschlichen Leiden hat jahrzehntelang keine angemessene öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit erfahren. Erst in neuerer Zeit werden diese Ereignisse häufiger erwähnt, allerdings fast immer nur als Teil einer Schilderung von Flucht, Vertreibung und Zwangsarbeit. Demgegenüber befasst sich das vorliegende Buch ausschließlich mit den Vergewaltigungen und hier unter anderem mit den Fragen, wie und warum es zu diesen Exzessen gekommen ist, warum Widerstand zwecklos war und was mit den Kindern geschah, die Opfer oder „nur“ Zeuge der sexuellen Gewalttaten waren. Erlebnisberichte von Opfern und Tätern sind eine wesentliche, weil authentische Grundlage dieser Darstellung.

        Starrider

        by Jando / Illustration: Antjeca

        Was zeichnet diese Lichtgestalt, diesen kleinen, sonderbaren Jungen aus, der wie „aus heiterem Himmel“ nächtens in einem Krankenhaus am Meer auftaucht? Obwohl er in seinem braunen Umhang leicht verschroben und in seinem Reden bisweilen etwas altklug wirkt, zieht seine mysteriöse Aura magisch an. Alsbald gewinnt er unter Patienten, Ärzteschaft und Pflegepersonal Freunde, weil er seine eigene Freude trotz einer rätselhaften Krankheit selbstlos-kindlich teilt. Und weil der Junge aus seinem Herzen spricht und mit dem Herzen sieht, lenkt er den Blick der Erwachsenen wieder auf das, was im Leben wirklich wichtig ist: Liebe, Freundschaft und Hoffnung und dass wir unsere Träume nicht aufgeben dürfen. Auch der Ich-Erzähler Mats besinnt sich durch die Gespräche mit dem kleinen Jungen darauf, dass seine persönlichen Werte und Wünsche verloren gegangen sind. Er versucht zu seiner Familie und seinen ursprüng­lichen Zielen zurückzukommen. Und auch der sehnlichste Wunsch des Jungen, einem Delfin zu begegnen, könnte sich mit Hilfe des Ich-Erzählers erfüllen, doch muss Mats erst einmal wieder lernen, an seine Träume zu glauben.

        Frau Morgenstorn und die Verschwörung

        by Marcel Huwyler

        Frau Morgenstern und die Verschwörung Marcel Huwyler Freunde des schrägen Humors, aufgepasst: Violetta Morgenstern, die frühpensionierte Lehrerin mit der ausgeprägten Vorliebe für kreative Selbstjustiz, sorgt erneut für Recht und Ordnung! In Frau Morgenstern und die Verschwörung darf Marcel Huwylers eigensinnige Protagonistin zum dritten Mal im Regierungsauftrag töten - diesal im ganz großen Stil: Kein Geringerer als der Vatikan höchspersönlich bekommt zu spüren, dass die scharfzüngige Violetta nicht nur eine Frau mit unumstößlichen Prinzipien, sondern auch mit äußerst unorthodoxen Ermittlungsmethoden ist, wenn's denn der Gerechtigkeit dient. Was also fast harmlos mit einem Überfall und einem leise ausgeführten Auftragsmord beginnt, gipfelt schließlich in der Aufdeckung einer internationalen Verschwörung, nach der in den heiligen Hallen kein Stein mehr auf dem anderen steht. Violetta Morgenstern, Pensionärin mit Vorliebe für kreative Selbstjustiz, erhält einen heiklen Auftrag im Namen des Staates: Mit ihrem Kollegen, dem Ex-Söldner Miguel Schlunegger, soll sie einen Kardinal aus dem Vatikan eliminieren. Der Grund: topsecret. Doch ein Attentäter kommt den beiden zuvor. Wer außer ihnen hat sonst noch Interesse am Tod des ranghohen Geistlichen - und vor allem warum? Das mörderische Duo stöbert in den finsteren Ecken der heiligen Hallen und kommt einem jahrhundertealten Geheimnis auf die Spur, das so ungeheuerlich ist, dass die Weltgeschichte neu gedacht werden muss. Dem Schweizer Bestsellerautor Marcel Huwyler ist erneut ein krimineller Volltreffer gelungen! Mit viel schwarzem Humor und Gefühl für zwischenmenschliche Töne präsentiert er eine aberwitzige Geschichte, die man so schnell nicht vergisst. Brilland-bissige Dialoge, ausgeklügelte Twists, die hochgradig skurrilen Figuren sowie jede Menge Situationskomik brennen sich einem ins Gedächtnis ein. Und die leidenschaftliche Violetta dabei zu begleiten, wie sie mit List, ungenierten Gemeinheiten und sehr viel Charme den Vatikan aufmischt, bereitet mörderischen Spaß. Allerbeste Krimiunterhaltung mit ganz hohem Suchtfaktor!

        The Fragile Islands

        A Journey Through the Outer Hebrides

        by Bettina Selby

        Bettina Selby, traveller and explorer, decided to spend a long summer idyll re-visiting the far flung islands of the Outer Hebrides. With an ‘all-terrain’ bicycle and a small tent, she sets out on a leisurely tour, following forgotten tracks and byways into remote deserted corners. Camping amidst spectacular island scenery, teeming with bird life. Bettina Selby finds that neither wild weather nor midges, nor even an ankle in plaster, can dampen her enthusiasm for this fascinating threatened habitat. Her interest in the people of these islands, their history and traditions is equally strong and the pages are filled with a range of characters, from those whose families have crofted and fished for generations, to the ‘white-settlers’ from the South who have come to seek an alternative life-style to 20th century materialism. With a shrewd insight and a certain laconic humour, Bettina Selby gives an informed and unsentimental outsider’s view. And through it all there shines a love and concern for these marvellous but Fragile Islands, and compassion for their people’s unenviable history.

        Plant oils

        Over 50 powerful helpers for pleasure and skin care

        by Ruth von Braunschweig

        The importance of vegetable oils for our diet is now well known. Also that they must be natural and carefully manufactured and should come if possible from biological cultivation, if they are to unfold their health-promoting effects, is today most humans well-known. But the fact that olive oil, coconut oil & Co. are also valuable helpers for skin care and can even be used in skin care is still doubted by some experts. Today an abundance of research work speaks for itself. Plant oils protect and care for the skin, can prevent diseases and alleviate discomfort. They work from the inside as well as from the outside, in the kitchen as well as in body care. Vegetable oil is good for our skin According to the latest scientific findings, it has been proven that the ingredients of vegetable oils are also helpful for our largest organ: the skin. Not only that the fat molecules have been "known" to the skin evolutionarily for millions of years and it can therefore metabolize them excellently. The skin can therefore utilize plant oils in its metabolism and absorb and use the ingredients.
