        Broadening the Genetic Base of Crop Production

        by Edited by H D Cooper, Toby Hodgkin, Charlie Spillane

        This book focuses on the previously neglected interface between the conservation of plant genetic resources and their utilization. Only through utilization can the potential value of conserved genetic resources be realised. However, as this book shows, much conserved germplasm has to be subjected to long-term pre-breeding and genetic enhancement before it can be used in plant breeding programmes.The authors explore the rationale and approaches for such pre-breeding efforts as the basis for broadening the genetic bases of crop production. Examples from a range of major food crops are presented and issues analysed by leading authorities from around the world.

        The Arctic in the British imagination 1818–1914

        by Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie, Rob David

        The Arctic region has been the subject of much popular writing. This book considers nineteenth-century representations of the Arctic, and draws upon an extensive range of evidence that will allow the 'widest connections' to emerge from a 'cross-disciplinary analysis' using different methodologies and subject matter. It positions the Arctic alongside more thoroughly investigated theatres of Victorian enterprise. In the nineteenth century, most images were in the form of paintings, travel narratives, lectures given by the explorers themselves and photographs. The book explores key themes in Arctic images which impacted on subsequent representations through text, painting and photography. For much of the nineteenth century, national and regional geographical societies promoted exploration, and rewarded heroic endeavor. The book discusses images of the Arctic which originated in the activities of the geographical societies. The Times provided very low-key reporting of Arctic expeditions, as evidenced by its coverage of the missions of Sir John Franklin and James Clark Ross. However, the illustrated weekly became one of the main sources of popular representations of the Arctic. The book looks at the exhibitions of Arctic peoples, Arctic exploration and Arctic fauna in Britain. Late nineteenth-century exhibitions which featured the Arctic were essentially nostalgic in tone. The Golliwogg's Polar Adventures, published in 1900, drew on adult representations of the Arctic and will have confirmed and reinforced children's perceptions of the region. Text books, board games and novels helped to keep the subject alive among the young.

        The Schistosomiasis Control Initiative

        by Alan Fenwick, Wendie Norris, Becky McCall

        Schistosomiasis is Africa's second most prevalent infectious disease, but in many high-risk areas the Schistosomiasis Control Initiative (SCI) has helped achieve up to a 75% reduction in its prevalence. Exploring the work and experiences involved in forming, establishing and managing a health intervention such as the SCI, this book divulges important lessons for anyone looking to replicate its success. Widely recognised as a cost-effective and successful intervention, its knock-on effects include improving overall physical health, school attendance and future prospects. Evaluating the SCI's development, implementation and results through an engaging personal story and written in an approachable style, this book covers: - Key strategic challenges faced and how the SCI overcame them to achieve and maintain low infection rates; - Methods used for raising funding for control and drug donations; - Mobilisation and mechanics of partnerships to facilitate supply and access to drugs; - Nature of working relationships and implementation across Africa; - Ways in which schistosomiasis control can be integrated into, and serve as a model for, other Neglected Tropical Disease programmes (NTD). Written from Professor Alan Fenwick's unique perspective as Director of the SCI, The Schistosomiasis Control Initiative is an essential resource for researchers, policymakers, health professionals and students in the fields of NTD control and global health.

        Die Silvesterglocken

        Ein Märchen von Glocken, die ein altes Jahr aus- und ein neues Jahr einläuteten

        by Charles Dickens, Selda Marlin Soganci, Leo Feld

        Zu Charles Dickens' berühmten Weihnachtserzählungen gehört auch die Erzählung »Die Silvesterglocken«. Wie »Ein Weihnachtslied« eine weihnachtliche Geistergeschichte ist, so geistert es auch in der Geschichte der Silvesterglocken. Als habe sich's Dickens zur Aufgabe gemacht, die Unvollkommenheiten dieser Welt aufs allernachdrücklichste zur Schau zu stellen, damit die Welt sich bessere, so bedient er sich aller Mittel, und seien sie von der Art der Geister. Im »Weihnachtslied« geht es um die personengewordene Herzlosigkeit, um den Geizhals Scrooge, der jedoch in der Weihnachtsnacht zu einem gütigen, hilfsbereiten Menschen wird. Hier geht es um die Armen, deren Elend keines Reichen Herz bewegt. So auch hat der Dienstmann Toby Veck samt Tochter Meg ein überaus hartes, das heißt hungriges Leben. Die Glocken der Kirche hoch oben im Turm nennt er seine Freunde; sie lassen sich vernehmen, wenn er vergeblich auf Arbeit wartet. In der Silvesternacht allerdings suchen sie ihn heim mit Traumgespinsten. Tot ist Toby Veck, und die Jahre sind vergangen. Er, der nun ein Geist geworden ist, sieht, was sich, seitdem er lebte, verändert hat. Seine damals so ungeduldig auf das Glück mit Richard wartende Tochter ist alt geworden. Richard ist verkommen, ein Trinker. Nichts hat sich geändert, die Trübsal ist geblieben. Da wacht Toby Veck auf - war das alles nur ein Traum und er ein Träumer, der eben erwacht? »Sollte dies so sein, lieber Leser, dann präge die bösen Wirklichkeiten aus denen diese Schatten entspringen, Deiner Seele ein...«

        Leben und Meinungen von Tristram Shandy Gentleman

        by Laurence Sterne, Adolf Friedrich Seubert

        Tristram Shandy setzt an, seine Lebensgeschichte lückenlos zu erzählen. Doch dabei wird er immer wieder gestört. Da tritt sein Vater Walter auf den Plan, kopflastig und autoritätsgläubig, der in seiner Unfähigkeit zu handeln allerhand Unglücksfälle heraufbeschwört, und Tristrams Onkel Toby taucht auf, ein ehemaliger Offizier, der in seinem Gemüsegarten die Feldzüge, an denen er beteiligt war, mit einer Spielzeugarmee nachstellt. Und dann treten noch allerlei andere wunderliche Typen mit ihren Steckenpferden auf, über die berichtet werden muss. Laurence Sternes »Tristram Shandy« gilt wegen seines raffinierten und ungemein vergnüglichen Spiels mit den Möglichkeiten des Erzählens als erster moderner Roman.

        Was wird er damit machen?

        Nachrichten aus dem Leben eines Lords

        by Edward George Bulwer-Lytton, Bernd Rauschenbach, Arno Schmidt

        Das Buch, mit dem Arno Schmidt sich von ›Zettel’s Traum‹ erholte Finstermänner aus Londons Unterwelt, verlorene Söhne und verzeihende Väter, halbgelehrte Handwerker, stotternde Prediger, Wanderschauspieler und fahrendes Volk, zarte Kindsbräute und verliebte Ladys, die Frau in Eisengrau, Lady Frost und Pudel Toby: Edward Bulwer-Lytton, Zeitgenosse und Freund von Charles Dickens, entfaltet in diesem umfangreichen Roman das bunte Panorama der viktorianischen Gesellschaft. Der vermögende Lord Darrell und die von ihm geliebte Lady Montfort werden ebenso Opfer hinterhältiger Intrigen wie die arme Schauspielerin Sophie und ihr Anbeter Lionel Haughton: Jasper Losely heißt der gewissenlose Dieb und Erpresser, der dafür sorgt, dass sie alle immer wieder aneinander irre werden. Voller Ränke und Volten steckt Edward Bulwer-Lyttons Porträt der Londoner Gesellschaft um 1850. Hinter der rasanten Handlung steht für den zeitlebens politisch engagierten Autor die Frage, welche Handlungsmöglichkeiten den Menschen im gesellschaftlichen Gefüge des 19. Jahrhunderts überhaupt bleiben. Die Armen, die Reichen, die Findigen und die Demütigen – was werden sie aus ihrem Leben machen? Arno Schmidts Übersetzung verleiht den Figuren ihre je eigene Sprache – eine Meisterleistung, die beim ersten Erscheinen 1971 dem Roman zu Kultstatus verholfen hat.
