Jens Benthien introduces the interested beginner to the world of keeping and breeding Tiger Salamanders in the terrarium, but also provides some useful pointers and suggestions for the more advanced terrarium keeper. While Tiger Salamanders are well suited to the beginner in keeping amphibians, it is also of interest to the more advanced enthusiast, in particular because it poses some challenges with regard to propagating it. Following an overview of the genus, the distribution, and the ecology of Tiger Salamanders in the wild, the book with its appr. 80 color photographs details how to house these animals according to their biological needs, how to properly feed and care for them, and what is required to propagate the representatives of the North American Tiger Salamanders of the genus Ambystoma. Their ability to optionally remain and become sexually mature at their larval stage (neoteny), the problem of hybridizing, and the possible emergence of color anomalies are briefly discussed as well.
Therapy is defined as the treatment of diseases. This practical book serves as both a work of reference as well as a structuring aid when it comes to treating dogs on the underwater treadmill. The book is divided into three parts: - Basics such as the functions of the underwater treadmill, how the dog "works" on the underwater treadmill, training theory principles. - For the practice, e.g. medical findings, suggestions for the treatment of elbow dysplasia, hip dysplasia, etc. - From experience, e.g. Bobby, a golden retriever suffering from arthrosis, who serves as an example of treating a dog with a chronic disease. Further examples include Cindy and Murphy. 60 figures and 22 tables additionally illustrate the content of this book. The book's structure facilitates the finding of required information.
Jens Benthien führt den interessierten Anfänger in die Welt der Tigersalamanderzucht und -haltung ein und hält auch für erfahrene Terraristen hilfreiche Tipps und Anregungen bereit. Der Tigersalamander ist für Einsteiger in die Amphibienhaltung gut geeignet, aber auch für den erfahreneren Amphibienhalter attraktiv, da insbesondere die Nachzucht einige Herausforderungen bietet. Neben einem Überblick über die Gattung, die Verbreitung und Lebensweise der Tigersalamander, beschreibt das mit rund 80 Farbfotos ausgestattete Buch detailliert die artgerechte Unterbringung, Fütterung und Pflege sowie die Vermehrung der nordamerikanischen Tigersalamander der Gattung »Ambystoma«. Auch der Fähigkeit im Larvenstadium zu verharren und sich in diesem fortzupflanzen (Neotenie), der Problematik der Hybridisierung und möglicher Farbanomalien werden in diesem Buch einige Zeilen gewidmet.

The work addresses the following questions in the context of interglacial climate dynamics: (i) What are the amplitudes of natural climate variations on timescales of several years to millennia? (ii) Do abrupt changes in the large-scale circulation of the Atlantic Ocean occur in interglacials? (iii) Which biogeochemical feedback mechanisms control the natural limits of atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases and aerosols? (iv) Which linkages exist between climate and pre-industrial cultures? The work is based on an integrated approach in paleoclimate research, in which all available paleoclimate archives (terrestrial and marine as well as ice cores) are combined in order to yield a comprehensive and quantitative analysis of global environmental variations. Moreover, through a close linkage be-tween paleoclimate reconstructions and results from Earth-system models detailed insights into the dynamics of climate variations are gained.

This book critically examines how the production and reception of performed poetry has changed in the wake of digitalization. The interdisciplinary chapters in this volume deal with fundamental questions confronting performed poetry in the digital age: How are concepts like liveness and performativity being adapted to mediatized digital environments? How are platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok helping to popularize performed poetry, and what online formats are emerging? How is the ubiquity of digital technologies transforming fields like experimental sound poetry, and how are they performed on stage? Bringing together authors from various countries and disciplines, this volume addresses diverse topics such as the evolution of poetry readings in Scandinavia; poetry slams as political criticism and a social practice in Brazil, the UK, the US, and Italy; the performance of AI poetry; posthuman entanglements between gendered bodies and technological devices in experimental sound poetry; the aesthetics and practices of poetic activism on the street and social media; and how recordings of performed poetry are being circulated in our current platformized, digital environment.
