Biodiversity and Evolution of Parasitic Life in the Southern Ocean
The Southern Oceans including Antarctic regions are peculiar and very sensitive water biotopes, where animal life and species interrelations are only poorly investigated. Especially the influence of parasites on their host species needs intensive consideration in times of global warming and worldwide pollution. Both factors may influence the finely balanced interrelationships between parasites and endangered hosts especially in specialized regions such as Antarctica. Before this background the present book offers a broad spectrum of important parasite-host interrelations in times of ecosystem changes written by experienced and renown international specialists.
Host Manipulations by Parasites and Viruses
This edited volume focuses on parasite-host relationships and the behavioral changes parasites may trigger in their hosts. Parasites have developed strategies which enhance their chances to find a host to survive inside its body and to become most easily transmitted to one another. Many of these parasites influence the host’s behavior by various mechanisms, so that the rate of their transmissions to further hosts becomes considerably enhanced in comparison to that of non-influenced specimens of the same host species. A broad number of recent studies elucidate more and more examples in an extreme spectrum of host-parasite relationships, where successful transmission and /or survival of a parasite inside a host is based on parasite-derived behavioral manipulations of the hosts. In the literature, an increasing numbers of papers appear which prove that these behavioral alterations are based on complicated psychoimmunologic, neuropharmacologic and genomically steered mechanisms. Researchers working in parasitology or behavioral sciences will find this work thought-provoking, instructive and informative.
The Memoirs of Nahum N. Glatzer
The geographic, spiritual, and intellectual journeys of Nahum N. Glatzer (1903-1990)-prolific scholar, Brandeis University professor, and editor of the Schocken publishing house-reveal a rich cultural ambiance that no longer exists, as well as a breadth of perspective and learning that remains enviable in our time. This collection of 78 memoir entries, written as a document for his family, offers personal glimpses of Nahum Glatzer which complement his scholarship. Episodes and vignettes in chronological sequence recount the decisive events of his travels from Bodenbach to Boston and from strict Orthodoxy to a more historical, cultural, and aesthetic understanding of Judaism. Anecdotal and at...
The Patron: A Life of Salman Schocken, 1877-1959
The rags-to-riches story of one of Europe's great entrepreneurs and a founding father of modern Jewish secular culture The name "Schocken"--now primarily associated with the prestigious publishing house--was once emblazoned over a vast commercial empire; across Europe, it stood for quality consumer goods and uplifting culture made available for working people. A sweeping, colorful saga, The Patron is the first biography of Salman Schocken, founder of a large department store chain and Jewish philanthropic titan. We follow Schocken's transformation from an impoverished migrant selling textiles door-to-door to a captain of German industry, at once media magnate, collector, talent scout, and pa...
Parasites of Marine Fish and Cephalopods
This textbook provides a comprehensive, reliable and practical guide to the dissection and parasitological examination of marine fish and cephalopods. The first part provides a general introduction, presenting basic information on: parasitology, ecology of the marine environment, history and methods of fisheries and aquaculture, as well as the ecology of marine fish and cephalopods and the impact of parasites on hosts. In turn, the second part provides general information on the morphology and anatomy of marine fish and cephalopods using the example of abundant morphotypes (including e.g. habitus photos of the body cavity and internal organs). The third part covers the relevant parasitic gro...

Volkssprachiges Proverbium in der Gelehrtenkultur
Die Studie untersucht die Handschriftenüberlieferung und Bildungshintergründe eines spätmittelalterlichen lateinisch gelehrten Kommentars zu den Fabeln des Anonymus-Neveleti mit deutschen Reimpaarepimythien, einem bislang nicht erschlossenen Proverbien- und Sentenzencorpus. Die Auswertung der Provenienzen, Mitüberlieferung und Kommentarinhalte zeigt einen Fabelkommentar akademischen Studienniveaus: Er ist in der zweiten Hälfte des 15. Jahrhunderts an Bildungsinstitutionen im ostmittel- und südostdeutschen Raum verbreitet und vermittelt anspruchsvolle artistische und klerikale Kernkompetenzen der spätmittelalterlichen Bildungskultur. Die deutschen Epimythien sind für den lateinisch-sprachsozialisierten Benutzer bestimmt als ein text- und wissensorganisierendes Kommentarelement von mnemotechnischer Qualität; zusammen mit den lateinischen Äsopsentenzen der Proverbia Esopi gelangt es in die Drucküberlieferung. Die in der Studie enthaltene Edition der Kommentartexte dokumentiert erstmals die spezifische Existenzweise der volkssprachigen Proverbien im Kontext der Gelehrtenkultur.
