Technology, Engineering & AgricultureJanuary 2024Vegetable Seeds
Production and Technology
by Gregory E Welbaum
Most food and fiber crops are produced from seed. This means that the world's population is dependent on annual seed production for its food supply. Vegetable seed production is much different and more challenging than production of grain crops. This book explains the biology and technology behind producing, maintaining, and enhancing the quality of vegetable seeds from breeding through to the marketed product. It begins with six chapters on a broad range of seed-related topics: the importance of seeds, reproductive biology of plants, genetic improvement strategies, quality assurance of seed production, post-harvest seed enhancement, and organic production. The remaining chapters cover seed production in eleven important vegetable families. Each chapter provides a description of the botany, types and cultivars, genetic improvement, pollination, soil fertility management, pest management, crop production, harvesting, post-harvest handling, and seed yields. The aim of this book is to educate how to produce high-quality vegetable seeds. Incorporating both current methodologies and recent research results, it is suitable for students, researchers, and professionals in the seed industry.

September 2016Bottom's Dream
by Arno Schmidt, John E. Woods
35 Jahre lang hat John E. Woods Arno Schmidt übersetzt, fast das gesamte literarische Werk des deutschen Schriftstellers übertrug der Amerikaner in seine Muttersprache. Die erste Schmidt-Lektüre war für ihn eine »Explosion« – mit Schmidts »Evening Edged in Gold« (»Abend mit Goldrand«) hat der preisgekrönte Übersetzer seine Karriere einst begonnen, dessen wichtigstes und umfangreichstes Werk hob sich Woods bis zum Schluss auf: Jetzt liegt der Überroman »Zettel’s Traum« endlich auf Englisch vor. Schmidts Sprachspiele, eine Herausforderung für jeden Übersetzer, hat Woods immer kreativ in die flexible englische Sprache übertragen, und manchmal ist seine Lösung witziger als das Original. John E. Woods über Bottom’s Dream: »›I have had a dream past the wit of man to say what dream it was,‹ says Bottom. ›I have had a dream, and I wrote a Big Book about it,‹ Arno Schmidt might have said. Schmidt’s rare vision is a journey into many literary worlds. First and foremost it is about Edgar Allan Poe, or perhaps it is language itself that plays that lead role; and it is certainly about sex in its many Freudian disguises, but about love as well, whether fragile and unfulfilled or crude and wedded.«

February 2019Die Galeere
by Bruno E. Werner
1949, vier Jahre nach dem Zusammenbruch des »Dritten Reichs«, erschien im Suhrkamp Verlag, vorm. S. Fischer Verlag, ein Roman, der seiner Zeit so weit voraus war, dass des Abstands bedurfte für ein angemessenes Verständnis. Der Begleittext zur Erstausgabe verspricht zu recht einen Bericht, in dessen Mittelpunkt »ein Mann der deutschen Intelligenzschicht«, genauer: ein Zeitungsredakteur steht. Der dokumentiert, wie sich dieses Milieu – dazu zählen Akademiker wie Künstler, Romanciers und Chefredakteure – nach der Machtergreifung der Nationalsozialisten duckt und windet, sich aber Freiräume schafft und benutzt, um dem guten Leben und der guten Sache weiterhin nachgehen zu können. Unausweichlich steht am Ende die Ohnmacht angesichts der diktatorischen Verhältnisse. Der Bogen, den der Erzähler spannt, reicht vom Tag der Machtergreifung über die Bombardierung Berlins und Dresdens bis zur Kapitulation: emotionslos, und gerade deshalb bewegend, in einem Ausmaß, das bei den Zeitgenossen zu viele zwiespältige und belastende Erinnerungen heraufzubeschwören drohte. In der Ankündigung heißt es deshalb zurecht: »Viele Leser werden dieses Buch wie ihren eigenen Roman lesen.« 70 Jahre nach Erscheinen sind die heutigen Leser dazu bereit und in der Lage.

Biology, life sciencesMay 2021Cut Flowers and Foliages
by James E. Faust, John Dole
The cut flower and foliage industry is a global business with major production locations in North America, South America, Central America, East Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Few other horticulture crops are as ubiquitous, yet the production techniques and challenges are universal.This book describes the main international production locations and markets, including current trends and directions. The focus is on production in protected cultivation. The major species - including rose, chrysanthemum, carnation, orchid and gerbera - dominate the global market and these are individually explored in detail. Specialty species and cut foliages are also addressed, as well as significant details of production, including irrigation and fertilization, disease and disease management, and biological control of pests. Finally, the postharvest chapter covers details of harvesting, transporting and delivering high quality flowers that provide an excellent vase life.Highly illustrated with color photos throughout, this is an essential resource for students and researchers in horticulture, growers and producers, and those in the floriculture industry.
