Baltische Erzähl- und Lebenswelten
Erzähl- und Lebenswelten bedingen einander. Erzählungen erschaffen Welten, die auf die reale Lebenswelt Bezug nehmen, wie auch diese ihrerseits von den in Erzählungen vermittelten Welten geprägt ist. Das Baltikum – aus historischer Sicht seit der frühen Neuzeit die ehemaligen Ostseeprovinzen Livland, Estland und Kurland bzw. aus heutiger Perspektive die drei Staaten Estland, Lettland und Litauen – bietet für die Erforschung von Erzähl- und Lebenswelten eine besonders reichhaltige Basis. Die gelebte Mehrsprachigkeit, die häufigen Herrschaftswechsel, die historischen Umwälzungen und der Kampf um die politische Geltung, die sich auch in der Kultur manifestierte, geben der Region eine besondere Prägung. Die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes stammen von Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern aus den baltischen Ländern und Deutschland, aber auch aus Italien und Großbritannien. Vertreten sind Beiträge aus der germanistischen Literatur- und Sprachwissenschaft, aber auch der Kunstgeschichte, Translationswissenschaft und Soziolinguistik.
Barbarian Spring
On a business trip to Tunisia, Preising, a leading Swiss industrialist, is invited to spend the week with the daughter of a local gangster. He accompanies her to the wedding of two London city traders at a desert luxury resort that was once the site of an old Berber oasis. With the wedding party in full swing and the bride riding up the aisle on a camel, no one is aware that the global financial system stands on the brink of collapse. As the wedding guests nurse their hangovers, they learn that the British pound has depreciated tenfold, and their world begins to crumble around them. So begins Barbarian Spring, the debut novel from Jonas Lüscher, a major emerging voice in European fiction. The timely and unusual novel centers on a culture clash between high finance and the value system of the Maghreb. Provocative and entertaining, Barbarian Spring is a refreshingly original and all-too-believable satire for our times.

Multilingual classroom contexts
By far the majority of South African students get their schooling in a second language, which means that our classrooms are multilingual. This state of affairs is not exclusive to our country, as can be seen in the many academic conferences on multilingual learning and teaching. Terms like translanguaging and biliteracy appear in many articles and books that discuss the role language in education. What makes the multilingual nature of our South African classrooms challenging, is the fact that many learners switch from one language of learning and teaching to another at various points in their school career: from home language to English or Afrikaans after the foundation phase, from one language of learning and teaching to another when they move to new schools, high school or tertiary institutions. This book is an attempt to highlight the transitions; from home to school, from foundation to intermediate phase, from primary to high school, and from high school to tertiary institutions.

This book offers a comprehensive review on biomass resources, examples of biorefineries and corresponding products. The first part of this book covers topics such as different biorefinery resources from agriculture, wood processing residues and transport logistics of plant biomass. In the second part, expert contributors present biorefinery concepts of different biomass feedstocks, including vegetable-oils, sugarcane, starch, lignocellulose and microalgae. Readers will find here a summary of the syngas utilization and the bio-oil characterization and potential use as an alternative renewable fuel and source for chemical feedstocks. Particular attention is also given to the anaerobic digestion-based and Organosolv biorefineries. The last part of the book examines relevant products and components such as alcohols, hydrocarbons, bioplastics and lignin, and offers a sustainability evaluation of biorefineries.
