May 2024Fish in Distress
On the careful managementof an endangered resource
by Manfred Kriener, Stefan Linzmaier
Consumers stand perplexed at the fish counter. Cod or salmon; mackerel or sea bass? Or perhaps rather carp and trout? How about flounder and dab? Dab what? A terrific flatfish, but sadly hardly anyone has heard of it. And what was it again about organic, aquaculture, wild-caught, and that little blue sustainability certificate? Is catching your own a way out? Before you start thinking it’s time to opt for a chop and fried potatoes instead, read this book. It provides readers with deep blue facts from the world’s waters and analyses the global and local habitat of the finned creature.

December 2013Rig-Veda. Das Heilige Wissen
Dritter bis fünfter Liederkreis
by Michael E. J. Witzel, Salvatore Scarlata, Toshifumi Goto
Der 'Rig-Veda' ist eines der ältesten Literaturdenkmäler der Menschheit. Seine Hymnen sind die früheste uns erhaltene religiöse Dichtung Indiens; sie sind lange vor dem Hinduismus und Buddhismus entstanden. In der neuen Übersetzung kommen sowohl das Fremde und Geheimnisvolle der Veden als auch ihre bis heute wirksame Unmittelbarkeit zum Ausdruck. Der umfassende Kommentar erläutert die Entstehungs- und Wirkungsgeschichte, die Sprache, Symbole und dichterischen Formen des 'Rig-Veda', seinen geographischen, geschichtlichen, archäologischen, kulturellen und sozialen Hintergrund, die komplexe Götterwelt und Mythologie sowie die große Bedeutung des 'feierlichen Rituals' – eines vollendeten liturgischen Systems, das noch heute Anwendung findet. Der zweite Band der Edition versammelt den dritten bis fünften der insgesamt zehn Liederkreise.

November 2022Rig-Veda – Das heilige Wissen
Sechster und siebter Liederkreis
by Toshifumi Gotō, Eijirō Dōyama, Toshifumi Gotō, Eijirō Dōyama
Der ›Rig-Veda‹ gehört zu den frühesten Literaturdenkmälern der Menschheit. Seine 1028 Gedichte mit ihren 10580 Versen wurden etwa zwischen 1500 und 1000 v. Chr. im archaischen Indo-Arisch, einer Vorform des klassischen Sanskrit, verfaßt. Obwohl die ältesten Handschriften erst aus dem frühen 2. Jahrtausend datieren, ist durch die teilweise bis heute praktizierte, äußerst genaue mündliche Überlieferung der ursprüngliche Wortlaut nahezu unverändert erhalten geblieben.In der neuen Übersetzung kommen sowohl das Fremde, Geheimnisvolle der Veden als auch ihre bis heute wirksame Unmittelbarkeit zum Ausdruck. Der dritte Band enthält mit den Liederkreisen 6 und 7 die Dichtungen des Bharadvāja und seiner Nachkommen (maṇḍala 6) und das Buch der Vasiṣṭhas (maṇḍala 7).

2020Nutritional Practice Infants, Children, Adolescents
Concise advisory knowledge
by Dr. Ute Alexy, Dr. Annett Hilbig and Frauke Lang. Edited by Prof. Dr. Martin Smollich
Anyone giving responsible advice about questions on nutrition must have sound expert knowledge. This must not only be scientifically reliable, but must at the same time be relevant and practicable in the individual context. The concept behind the book series Nutritional Practice is to provide the necessary translation of current research results and guidelines into recommendations suitable for everyday use. In accordance with this consistent, practical approach, the focus is on the individual person in his or her particular stage in their life. The present volume is based on the various stages in life between infancy and adolescence. It therefore covers all questions about nutrition in health and disease from the first day of life to young adulthood

2021Nutritional Practice Elderly People
Concise advisory knowledge
by Prof. Dr. Martin Smollich (ed.)
The physiology and living conditions of people change as they grow old, whereas it is often more difficult to adapt eating habits to the new requirements. Psychological aspects come to the fore. The challenge for giving specific nutritional advice is therefore particularly great. This volume in the book series Nutritional Practice provides all the information needed for the competent care of elderly people. It deals with general aspects of nutrition in old age, as well as specific nutritional situations such as poor diet, dehydration, chewing and swallowing problems, dementia, mobility, oral and food hygiene or nutrition at the end of life. A further section is concerned with communal catering.

March 2010Lotte Cohn – Baumeisterin des Landes Israel
Eine Biographie
by Ines Sonder
Daß sie Architektin werden würde – zu einer Zeit, als sich noch kaum jemand vorstellen konnte, sich von einer Frau ein Haus bauen zu lassen –, war Lotte Cohn, der späteren Doyenne der israelischen Architektur, nicht in die Wiege gelegt worden. Anders war es mit der familiären Mitgift des Zionismus. Eine antisemitische Verleumdungskampagne gegen ihren Vater, den Arzt Bernhard Cohn, hatte die ganze Berliner Großfamilie schon früh zu aktiven Anhängern Theodor Herzls werden lassen. Anfang der 1920er Jahre wanderte Lotte Cohn ins Land Israel ein – zu einer Zeit, als die große Mehrheit der deutschen Juden noch das politische Ziel einer »jüdischen Heimstätte« in Palästina ablehnte. Ines Sonder zeichnet den außergewöhnlichen Lebensweg Lotte Cohns aus dem zionistischen Milieu Berlins vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg zur ersten Architektin im Lande Israel nach. Ihre Biographie der deutschen Jüdin, Pionierin und Architektin Lotte Cohn (1893 - 1983) ist die Geschichte einer Frau, die maßgeblich am Aufbau Israels beteiligt war. »Wir gingen daran, unsere Welt zu formen.« (Lotte Cohn)

The food of the future
by Dr. Malte Rubach
It is time to counter the numerous utopias, myths and established narratives of the future of nutrition with a fact-based scenario.

It exposes the great promises of meat substitutes from the laboratory as well as vegan renunciation scenarios, and shows a realistic path for the future of global nutrition along the lines of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

Humanities & Social SciencesKarli, the Crabby Puffer Fish
by Joan Schaaf, Pia Eitenmüller, Milena Schultz, Aleksandra Emilova Stefcheva
Karli can get really annoyed if he doesn’t like something. He quickly takes offence and feels misunderstood. That makes him angry and sometimes causes him to explode, like a volcano. But it also makes him sad that other people don’t like him as a result and try to keep away from him. Karli’s grandpa helps him recognize and control his anger, so he doesn’t clash so much with his parents and friends. This book aims to make it easier for children with oppositional defiant disorder to understand their current situation. In a sensitive way, it demonstrates how quickly they can fall into a spiral of anger, but also how they can get back out of it. The book provides important information on this topic for children, their parents, siblings, and therapists as well as practical tasks and exercises. For:• children of elementary school age(between 6 and 12) with oppositionaldefiant disorder• parents• relatives• therapists

Business, Economics & LawOctober 2004Qualities of food
by Mark Harvey, Andrew McMeekin, Alan Warde
In this book, the complexity and the significance of the foods we eat are analysed from a variety of perspectives, by sociologists, economists, geographers and anthropologists. Chapters address a number of intriguing questions: how do people make judgments about taste? How do such judgments come to be shared by groups of people?; what social and organisational processes result in foods being certified as of decent or proper quality? How has dissatisfaction with the food system been expressed? What alternatives are thought to be possible? The multi-disciplinary analysis of this book explores many different answers to such questions. The first part of the book focuses on theoretical and conceptual issues, the second part considers processes of formal and informal regulation, while the third part examines social and political responses to industrialised food production and mass consumption. Qualities of food will be of interest to researchers and students in all the social science disciplines that are concerned with food, whether marketing, sociology, cultural studies, anthropology, human nutrition or economics.

Film theory & criticismDecember 2014Cinematic countrysides
by Edited by Robert Fish
Recent years have witnessed an explosion of interest in the 'spatialities of cinema' across the social sciences and humanities, yet to date critical inquiry has tended to explore this issue as a question of the 'city' and the 'urban'. For the first time, leading scholars in geography, film and cultural studies have been drawn together to explore the multiple ways in ideas of cinema and countryside are co-produced: how 'film makes rural' and 'rural makes film'. From the expanse of the American great west to the mountainous landscapes of North Korea, Cinematic countrysides draws on a range of popular and alternative film genres to demonstrate how film texts come to prefigure expectations of rural social space, and how these representations come to shape, and be shaped by, the material and embodied circumstances of 'lived' rural experience. At the heart of this volume's varied apprehensions of the 'cinematic countryside' is a concern to argue that ideas of rurality in film are central to wider questions of 'modernity' and 'tradition', 'self' and 'other', 'nationhood' and 'globalisation', and crucially, ones that are central to an account of the 'cinematic city'.
