Interacting Stresses on Plants in a Changing Climate
Books dealing with climatic change are commonplace, as are those concerned with effects of environmental stresses on plants. The present volume distinguishes itself from earlier publications by highlighting several interrelated environmental stresses that are changing in intensity as the climate warms in response to the accumulation of 'greenhouse' gases. The stresses examined at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop upon which this book is based include atmospheric pollutants, flooding and sub mergence, drought and cold. In future, successful farming or landscape management will ultimately depend on strategies that offset the effects of these and other environmental constraints, while exploit...
Conifer Cold Hardiness
Conifer Cold Hardiness provides an up-to-date synthesis by leading scientists in the study of the major physiological and environmental factors regulating cold hardiness of conifer tree species. This state-of-the-art reference comprehensively explains current understanding of conifer cold hardiness ranging from the gene to the globe and from the highly applied to the very basic. Topics addressed encompass cold hardiness from the perspectives of ecology, ecophysiology, acclimation and deacclimation, seedling production and reforestation, the impacts of biotic and abiotic factors, and methods for studying and analyzing cold hardiness. The content is relevant to geneticists, ecologists, stress physiologists, environmental and global change scientists, pathologists, advanced nursery and silvicultural practitioners, and graduate students involved in plant biology, plant physiology, horticulture and forestry with an interest in cold hardiness.

Greening Europe
Today, the environment seems omnipresent in European policy within and beyond the European Union. The idea of a shared European environment, however, has come a long way and is still being contested. Greening Europe focuses on the many ways people have interacted with nature and made it an issue of European concern. The authors ask how notions of Europe mattered in these activities and they expose the many entanglements of activists across the subcontinent who set out to connect and network, and to exchange knowledge, worldviews, and strategies that exceeded their national horizons. Moving beyond human agency, the handbook also highlights the eminent role nature played in both "greening" Europe and making Europe a shared environment.
Stress-Induced Gene Expression in Plants
Researchers from North America and Western Europe discuss the state of the art research on gene expression in plants as affected by various stresses such as water deficit, seed dessication, anoxia, salinity, temperature extremes, heavy metals, air pollutants, and infection by pathogens. They also look at the possibilities of exploiting genes that regulate ozone resistance and the ingenious molecular strategies that have been developed by plants for dealing with pathogen attack.

Medien im Krieg - Krieg in den Medien
Das Thema Medien und Krieg wird in diesem Buch aus einer vierfachen Perspektive heraus behandelt. Es geht zum einen um die Frage nach der Berichterstattung über Kriege, zum zweiten um die Rolle von Medien im Krieg, drittens geht es darum, welche strukturellen Bedingungen von Krieg und Gesellschaft die Inhalte der Medien wie prägen und viertens um eine friedensstiftende Sicht auf diese Zusammenhänge. Das Fazit: Definitorisch gibt es kaum noch einen Unterschied zwischen medialer Kommunikation und Krieg.

United in Diversity. Europäische Solidarität im Krisenfall
In seiner Masterarbeit zum Thema “United in Diversity: Europäische Solidarität im Krisenfall – Zwischen idealistischem Selbstanspruch und realpolitischer Entscheidungsmacht“ geht Elias Wolff der Forschungsfrage nach, was „EU-Solidarität“ im Kontext der Schengen-Binnengrenzen bedeutet und wie sich dieser Wert im Umgang mit der Covid-19 Pandemie zeigt. Das erklärte Ziel der Arbeit ist es, die verschiedenen Wirkungsebenen von Solidarität sowie die Bedeutung der offenen Binnengrenzen für die Menschen herauszuarbeiten.
