"Most species of the genus Lexias occur commonly in many Asian forests. The problem, however, is correctly to identify them. The purpose of this publication is to help the reader to spot the differences between several ""look-alike"" species.

The genus Lexias flies in tropical and subtropical Asia, from North India eastwards through Indo-China, South China and the island of Hainan, while continuing southwards down the Malay Peninsula through most Indonesian islands and the Philippines to Papua New Guinea. The eastern-most limit of distribution appears to be the Bismarck Archipelago. No Lexias species has yet been found in the Solomon Islands."
Research in action engages the researcher who wants to live up to the challenges of contemporary science and to contribute to innovation and social change. This ambition to contribute to change raises many questions. How to define the main target group of the research? What role does this group play in the research? Which methods of data collection are most appropriate? Who are the commissioners of the research and do their interests match with those of the prime target group? How to deal with power relations in research situations? What do these issues mean for the relation of researcher with the people in the researched situation? And, last but not least, what does it all imply for the res...
Until recently, historians of reading have concentrated on book ownership and trying to map out a history of who read what. The reading experience has been a subject more difficult to research. As has been pointed out before, egodocuments can be valuable sources in this case. Following this lead, Literacy in Everyday Life focuses upon four early modern Dutch diaries in which readers document their daily life and in which they recount their reading. In the analysis, other ways in which these four readers communicated are also addressed, especially speech and writing. This book therefore provides an insight into the possible uses of literacy and the interaction between the printed, written and spoken word in the early modern Dutch Republic.
