Preaching Christology in the Roman Near East
This study develops a methodology for approaching homilies that draws on a broader understanding of audience as both the physical audience and the readership of sermons. It then offers a case study on the Syriac preacher Jacob of Serguh whose metrical homilies form one of the largest sermon collections in any language from late antiquity.
The Chinese Business Élite in Indonesia and the Transition to Independence, 1940-1950
Studies of the Indonesian Chinese have usually failed to address their role as a commercial bourgeoisie. Moreover, such studies tend to focus on the local-born peranakan Chinese, ignoring the China-born totok Chinese and the Chinese of the Outer Islands. This book fills a gap in the literature on Indonesian Chinese by focusing directly on Chinese business roles and the emergence of partnerships between Chinese businessmen, mainly the totok, and Indonesian revolutionaries. This close relationship was forged in the risky business of smuggling which was widespread during the 1940s. It also documents the transformation of the Chinese business community during this period from one dominated by the Dutch-educated peranakan to one led by the totok with good local connections to Indonesian power-holders. The integration of a substantial amount of Chinese oral and written sources makes this work especially valuable to students and researchers of contemporary Indonesia.

Pheromone Communication in Moths
Common among moths is a mate-finding system in which females emit a pheromone that induces males to fly upwind along the pheromone plume. Since the chemical pheromone of the domesticated silk moth was identified in 1959, a steady increase in the number of moth species whose pheromone attractants have been identified now results in a rich base for review and synthesis. Ê Pheromone Communication in Moths summarizes moth pheromone biology, covering the chemical structures used by the various lineages, signal production and perception, the genetic control of moth pheromone traits, interactions of pheromones with host-plant volatiles, pheromone dispersal and orientation, male pheromones and cour...
Verranno dalle pianure
"Davanti a lui si stagliava la grande pianura. Enorme, si stendeva a perdita d'occhio, sembrava continuare all'infinito, fino a toccare il cielo. Tra pochi mesi sarebbe stata ricoperta dal mantello dorato delle spighe di grano, così lucenti da accecare. Ma ora era diverso. Era una landa fredda, verdastra, ghiacciata e melmosa. E non c'era niente di strano. Era la terra della madrepatria che reagiva all'invasione, che rallentava il nemico, che lo attirava, fingendosi calma e docile, e poi lo intrappolava, prima di inghiottirlo. Perché quello non era il tempo del grano, non era il tempo dei frutti, era il tempo della guerra e del sangue." Sono passati undici anni dalla fine della Seconda Gue...
