by Edited by Prasun K Mukherjee, U S Singh, B A Horwitz, Monika Schmoll, Mala Mukherjee.
Trichoderma spp. are biotechnologically significant fungi, being widely used both in agriculture and industry. These microbes are also a potential drug source of clinical importance. In recent years, driven by advances in genetics and genomics, research on these fungi have opened new avenues for its varied applications. Divided into three sections, covering taxonomy and physiology, interactions with plants and applications and significance, this book also discusses topics that have seen rapid developments in the recent years. Various aspects of Trichoderma like molecular taxonomy, sexual and asexual developments, secondary metabolism, beneficial interactions with plants, applications as cell factories and harmful interactions with humans are discussed. This book, thus, hopes to be an essential ready reference for researchers, students and people form industry as well.

WHY I CAN'T WRITE
How to survive in a world where you can’t pay rent, can’t afford to focus, be healthy or to remain principled. Dijana Matković tells a powerful story of searching for a room of her own in the late stages of capitalism.
by DIJANA MATKOVIĆ
It is a coming-of-age story for Generation Z. How to grow up or even live in a world where no steady jobs are available, you can’t pay your rent and can’t afford medical or living expenses. Moreover, it touches on how to be a socially engaged artist in such a world, and more so, a woman in a post-me too world? Dijana, a daughter of working-class immigrants, tells the story of her difficult childhood and adolescence, how should became a journalist and later a writer in a society full of prejudices, glass ceilings and obstacles. How she gradually became a stereotypical ‘success story’, even though she still struggles with writing, because she can’t afford a ‘room of her own’. Dijana is a daughter of working-class immigrants, who came to Slovenia in the eighties in search of a better future. The family is building a house but is made redundant from the local factory when Yugoslavia is in the midst of an economic crisis. When her parents get divorced, Dijana, her older sister and mother struggle with basic needs. She is ashamed of their poverty, her classmates bully her because of her immigrant status, but mostly because of her being ‘white trash’. In the local school she meets teachers with prejudices against immigrants, but is helped by a librarian who spots her talent. When Dijana goes to secondary school, she moves in with her older sister who lives in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. Her sister is into rave culture and Dijana starts to explore experimenting with drugs, music and dance. At the secondary school, she is again considered ‘the weird kid’, as she isn’t enough of a foreigner for other immigrant kids because she is from the country, yet she isn’t Slovenian enough for other native kids. She falls even deeper into drug addiction, fails the first year of school and has to move back to live with her mother. She takes on odd jobs to make ends meet. Whilst working as a waitress she encounters sexism and sexual violence from customers and abuse from the boss. She finishes night school and graduates. She meets many ‘lost’ people of her generation along the way, who tell her their stories about precarious, minimum wage jobs, lack of opportunities, expensive rent, etc. Dijana writes for numerous newspapers but loses or quits her job, because she isn’t allowed to write the stories she wants or because of the bad working conditions or the blatant sexual harassment. Due to the high rent in the capital, Dijana has to move to the countryside to live with her mother. She feels lonely there, struggles with anxiety and cannot write a second book, because she is constantly under pressure to make a living. She realises that she must persevere regardless of the obstacles, she must follow her inner truth and by writing about it, try to create a community of like-minded people, a community of people who support each other – all literature/art is social.

El cine de Terrence Malick
La esperanza de llegar a casa
by Alzola Cerero, Pablo
Las películas que el cineasta estadounidense Terrence Malick ha realizado hasta la fecha, desde Malas tierras (1973) a Vida oculta (2019), no son muchas, pero todas han dejado una huella singular en la historia del séptimo arte. ¿Cuál es esa singularidad que ha despertado en el público tanta admiración como rechazo? El cine de Malick expresa, mediante un lenguaje audiovisual muy característico, preocupaciones que atañen a todo ser humano tales como la búsqueda de la propia identidad, la distancia o cercanía con los otros y el hallazgo de un hogar. Tomando la última cuestión, el hogar, como punto de partida, este libro plantea un acercamiento a la filmografía del cineasta de enfoque amplio e interés humano, en el que destacan dos grandes referentes: la tradición bíblica y el pensamiento de Stanley Cavell, un filósofo tan cinematográfico como americano. Al final, se descubre que tanto los mundos y personajes creados por Malick como la vivencia en la que se sumerge el espectador confluyen en un mismo anhelo: la esperanza de llegar a casa.

Dare Me
by Parker Blue
Everyone they love may be doomed. Everything they cherish may be destroyed. There is no turning back. Torg and Layla’s world is in chaos; their life together, in jeopardy. Even a powerful Death Wizard such as Torg may not triumph as three terrible wars are unleashed upon the land. The evil druids of the forest Dhutanga—giant, insect-like monsters—swarm to attack the white horsemen of Jivita. The druids are superior both in strength and numbers, but the forces of good are not without hope. Torg and his Tugars stand by the horsemen’s sides. Several hundred leagues to the east, an army of zombies invades Tējo, the great desert. Most of the Tugars have left to aid their allies, and only a few warriors remain to defend the Tugars’ homeland against this horrendous assault. The most devastating force of all is led by Mala, the ruined snow giant, who has marched with his massive army of cretins and golden soldiers to assail the black fortress of Nissaya. Triken is on fire.

And there is also a loose cannon: she waits tables at L’ultimo Doge, hiding her true descent in spite of herself. However, Romeo Marconato is the pivot of the story. Uncontested king of low priced and even lower quality street food, he will be served a juicy opportunity at the hands of his past.

Aborto e infanticidio en perspectiva histórica
by Julieta Di Corleto
It is a study on female crime in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is a rigorous and original investigation that works with a wide variety of police and prison statistics, studies by experts in criminology, records and sources that allow us to understand the phenomenon in all its dimensions: press articles, legislation, doctrine; and finally, judicial files. The work shows the relationships between criminology and the modern press, reveals the disputes between police, lawyers, judges and prosecutors, while shedding light on the material reality of women accused of these crimes. By replenishing their voices and experiences, the research puts motherhood at the center which, as a social and historical construction, during the period studied was a normalizing ideal, but also a widely resisted model.

LA CONCIENCIA
by Flecha Andrés, José Román
¿Qué es la conciencia? ¿Qué significan expresiones como «me remuerde» la conciencia (o «no me remuerde»)? ¿Queda todo «arreglado» con tal de que las malas acciones no sean conocidas, para que parezca que no existen? A estas cuestiones relativas a la conciencia se refiere este libro. Está concebido siguiendo el esquema clásico que asume los pasos de ver, juzgar y actuar. En el primer capítulo se dirige la vista a nuestra comprensión de la conciencia. En el segundo y el tercero se recogen las bases para un discernimiento sobre la conciencia, tomadas de la Biblia y de la reflexión cristiana sobre la misma. En el tercero, la mirada a la situación se abre a una reflexión sobre la responsabilidad humana tanto personal como estructural, siempre alentada por la esperanza.

The arrival of Quirós brings out her lucid, hyperactive side and sets her up for a wildly unhinged fall.
