Rethinking Brahms
As one of the most significant and widely performed composers of the nineteenth century, Brahms continues to command our attention. Rethinking Brahms counterbalances prevailing scholarly assumptions that position him as a conservative composer (whether musically or politically) with a wide-ranging exploration and re-evaluation of his significance today. Drawing on German- and English-language scholarship, it deploys original approaches to his music and pursues innovative methodologies to interrogate the historical, cultural, and artistic contexts of his creativity. Empowered by recent theoretical work on form and tonality, it offers fresh analytical insights into his music, including a numbe...
Advances in breeding techniques for cereal crops
Assesses performance of conventional techniques such as backcross and hybrid breeding in introducing new traits Maps current progress in methods to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) linking phenotypic traits with genetic information for selection Shows comparative strengths and weaknesses of marker-assisted selection (MAS) techniques such as genome wide association studies (GWAS) and nested association mapping (NAM)
Data Journeys in the Sciences
This groundbreaking, open access volume analyses and compares data practices across several fields through the analysis of specific cases of data journeys. It brings together leading scholars in the philosophy, history and social studies of science to achieve two goals: tracking the travel of data across different spaces, times and domains of research practice; and documenting how such journeys affect the use of data as evidence and the knowledge being produced. The volume captures the opportunities, challenges and concerns involved in making data move from the sites in which they are originally produced to sites where they can be integrated with other data, analysed and re-used for a variet...
Faith - Adoption in Kenia
"Andreas musste sich konzentrieren. Mit aller Kraft versuchte er sein Auto auf der linken Spur zu halten. Kalter Schweiß trat auf seine Stirn. Morgen um diese Zeit würden sie am Flughafen sein. Am Mittwoch würden sie Faith das erste Mal im Kinderheim von Angesicht zu Angesicht sehen. Knapp eine Woche vorher hatten sie den entscheidenden Anruf von Frau Mayer erhalten. Bald hielten sie den Bericht über ihre Tochter in ihren Händen. ... Auf dem Foto schaute sie ein Mädchen in einem Kleid mit Giraffen darauf an. ... Er war so dankbar, dass sie endlich am Ziel, bei ihrer Tochter angekommen waren. Doch nun diese Nachricht. Hatten sie sich zu viel vorgenommen? Hatten sie zu viel gewollt und würden jetzt die Quittung dafür kriegen?" - "Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass durch dieses Buch in so manchem (kinderlosen) Paar der Wunsch geweckt wird, auch einem elternlosen Kind ein Zuhause zu schenken und man weiß nach der Lektüre, worauf man sich einlässt und geht nicht blauäuig an die Sache heran. Sehr, sehr spannend." G.Kühn Eine packende und informative Erzählung über die Adoption in Kenia.
Animals and Early Modern Identity
Animals were everywhere in the early modern period and they impacted, at least in some way, the lives of every kind of early modern person, from the humblest peasant to the greatest prince. Artists made careers based on depicting them. English gentry impoverished themselves spending money on them. Humanists exercised their scholarship writing about them. Pastors saved souls delivering sermons on them. Nobles forged alliances competing with them. Foreigners and indigenes negotiated with one another through trading them. The nexus between animal-human relationships and early modern identity is illuminated in this volume by the latest research of international scholars working on the history of...
