Können wir es nachvollziehen, wie toll es ist, sich die Pfoten blutig zu rennen, weil das Stoppelfeld noch nicht umgeackert wurde, nur um dann unsere Zähne in den vermutlich stinkenden und mit Zecken besetzten Popo eines Rehs zu schlagen? Höchst wahrscheinlich nicht! Aber eine realistische Sicht auf das Thema "Leben mit hetzenden Knutsch-Kugeln" kann uns sehr gut helfen, nicht verrückt zu werden, wenn man mit ebendiesen zusammenlebt.
"Ja, Axis ist eine Mörderin! Sie hat schon einmal in einer wilden Jagd bewiesen, dass sie das Zeug zur Kämpferin hat. Der Hase wurde nicht nur gehetzt sondern prompt erlegt. Damals quittierte ich das lobend für unsere Zucht und dachte nicht weiter darüber nach, aber an diesem Abend war es anders. Sie war mit Hinterlist vorgegangen und hat nicht nur getötet, sondern sich in einen offensichtlich wilden Kampf verwickeln lassen." Dieses Buch ist kein Hundetraining Tipps - Anleitungsbuch, auch kein "Mach es so, denn ich weiß es am besten Buch". Es ist eine Sammlung kleiner und kurioser Geschichten, wie man sie mit Whippets erlebt und aus denen man Schlüsse für sich selbst ziehen kann.
Für viele Menschen ist es ganz normal, angestarrt, belästigt oder ausgelacht zu werden. Viele ecken in ihrem Leben irgendwo an, aber nicht, weil sie es wollen. Es ist nicht ihre Absicht, anders zu sein. Solche Menschen gibt es zwar auch, aber um sie geht es in diesem Buch nicht. Es geht vielmehr um diejenigen, die einfach etwas an sich haben, das ihr Umfeld faszinierend, abstoßend oder bewundernswert findet. Meist sind es Kleinigkeiten, in manchen Fällen aber auch große Dinge.

This book focuses on natural products, in particular medicinal plants and their derived products, as an indispensable source of bioactive molecules that serve as either drug candidates or lead compounds for drug design and discovery . There are several advantages for plant-derived therapeutics, including wide availability, diverse pharmacological actions, and a generally good profile of safety and tolerability. Over the recent years, there have been numerous reports from clinical studies testifying the efficacy and safety of medicinal plants and phytochemicals in treating human diseases. A plethora of basic studies has also unraveled molecular mechanisms underlying the health benefits of her...
This collection re-envisions the academic study of institutional translation and interpreting (ITI), revealing oppression in established institutional spaces toward challenging existing policies and the myths which inhibit critical inquiry within the field. ITI is broadly conceived here as translation and interpreting delivered in or for specific institutions, understood as social systems and spanning national, supranational, and international organizations as well as immigration detention centers, prisons, and national courts. The volume is organized around three parts, which explore ITI spaces and practices revealing oppressive practices, dispelling myths regarding translation and interpre...

By age 16, significant – one might even say “alarming” – numbers of students are demonstrating signs of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Students with PTSD are more likely to develop a range of problems, from delinquent behavior to eating disorders to substance abuse to dropping out. For the school-based professional, the ability to recognize these symptoms and warning signs is essential. Emphasizing prevention as well as intervention, Identifying, Assessing, and Treating PTSD at School clearly defines PTSD, explains its adverse affects on children’s academic and social-emotional skills, and offers expert guidance on how to recognize student needs and provide appropriate servi...
In the biggest change to Westminster Abbey for 250 years, a new museum has been built, accessed by a spectacular new seven storey tower. The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Galleries have been built in the roof space over the side chapels, some sixteen metres above floor level. The Galleries display 300 of the Abbey's treasures, ranging from the historic effigies of past kings and queens to the Duke of Cambridge's marriage licence. In addition, for the first time in 800 years, the public can now see spectacular views of the Abbey from the galleries. This booklet tells the story of the building of the tower and galleries. More than 70 photographs reveal some of the amazing discoveries made during the development, which culminated in the grand opening by Her Majesty the Queen in 2018.
On April 27-28, 2022, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) hosted a workshop to examine the effects of chemical and non-chemical stressors on maternal and fetal adverse health outcomes, discuss diseases specific to women and individuals assigned female at birth, and to assess the role of racial and ethnic disparities in environmental exposures. The concepts of early and lifetime exposures and the correlation between socioeconomic status, hazardous exposures, and communities of color were explored with a focus on the synergistic impacts on women’s health. Current research and knowledge gaps in the context of environmental exposures and women’s reproductive health disparities were examined. This Research Topic reflects the work presented at the NIEHS 2-day workshop or work suggesting critical ways to advance environmental health disparities and women’s reproductive health research, or environmental health equity in public health and clinical practice.
