View Rights PortalBurleigh Dodds Subliscience Publishing was established in 2015 by former staff at the award-winning Woodhead Publishing. Our vision is to help solve one of the world’s greatest challenges: to feed the world’s growing population. There is an urgent need for a more climate-smart agriculture able to feed a growing population whilst, at the same time, adapting to (and not exacerbating) climate change. Our goal is to build collections of research on key topics in agricultural science so that researchers can build on existing work and collaborate more effectively. We are achieving this by using ’smart-publishing’ to help achieve ’climate-smart’ agriculture.
View Rights PortalRoberto Cotroneo wurde 1961 in der norditalienischen Stadt Alessandria geboren. Er studierte Philosophie und einige Jahre Klavier. Seit 1983 war er u.a. für L'Europeo, L'Espresso, der renommierten Wochenzeitschrift, und Sole 24 Ore als Literaturkritiker tätig. Seit 1994 zeichnet er für den Kulturteil von L'Espresso verantwortlich. Er gilt als der angesehenste und zugleich gefürchtetste Kritiker Italiens. Sein erstes Buch, Wenn ein Kind an einem Sommermorgen. Briefe an meinen Sohn über die Liebe zu Büchern, erschien 1996 in deutscher Übersetzung im Marion von Schroeder Verlag in Düsseldorf und 2002 im Insel Verlag Frankfurt. Diese unterschwellige Autobiographie und Autopoetik ist eine suggestive Einführung in die Kunst des kritischen Lesens. Umberto Eco, in dessen Nachfolge Cotroneo erzählerisch ganz offensichtlich steht, urteilte über dieses Buch: "Roberto Cotroneo zeigt, daß er wirklich weiß, wie Bücher gelesen werden sollten."
For nearly half a century Anne Lake Prescott has been a force and an inspiration in Renaissance studies. A force, because of her unique blend of learning and wit and an inspiration through her tireless encouragement of younger scholars and students. Her passion has always been the invisible bridge across the Channel: the complex of relations, literary and political, between Britain and France. The essays in this long-awaited collection range from Edmund Spenser to John Donne, from Clément Marot to Pierre de Ronsard. Prescott has a particular fondness for King David, who appears several times; and the reader will encounter chessmen, bishops, male lesbian voices and Roman whores. Always Prescott's immense erudition is accompanied by a sly and gentle wit that invites readers to share her amusement. Reading her is a joyful education.
