World Atlas of Seagrasses
Seagrasses are a vital and widespread but often overlooked coastal marine habitat. This volume provides a global survey of their distribution and conservation status.
New Waves
Leading trailblazers in contemporary art reflect on the transformations in ideology and practice that shape today's art market In New Waves, Dutch art historian Marta Gnyp interviews a number of artists and curators about contemporary art's shifting landscape. Her inquest is divided into five chapters that each address a subject of major change in recent years. "Rewriting the Canon" details the rediscovery and revaluation of several postwar artists including painters Joan Semmel, Stanley Whitney and Claudette Johnson. In "Extending New Media," artists Cory Arcangel and Alex da Corte discuss the creative possibilities posed by new technology. "New Approaches to Truth and Morality" sees installation artist Jordon Wolfson and photographer Mohamed Bourouissa reflect on the ethics of art making. "New Classic Art" examines the practices of four artists--Claire Tabouret, Adriana Varejão, Daniel Richter and Jenny Saville--whose work provides a contemporary spin on the classical art tradition. Finally, Gnyp speaks to several curators, collectors and museum directors to discuss the evolving art market in the 21st century.
Seagrasses: Biology, Ecology and Conservation
Seagrasses are unique plants; the only group of flowering plants to recolonise the sea. They occur on every continental margin, except Antarctica, and form ecosystems which have important roles in fisheries, fish nursery grounds, prawn fisheries, habitat diversity and sediment stabilisation. Over the last two decades there has been an explosion of research and information on all aspects of seagrass biology. However the compilation of all this work into one book has not been attempted previously. In this book experts in 26 areas of seagrass biology present their work in chapters which are state-of–the-art and designed to be useful to students and researchers alike. The book not only focuses on what has been discovered but what exciting areas are left to discover. The book is divided into sections on taxonomy, anatomy, reproduction, ecology, physiology, fisheries, management, conservation and landscape ecology. It is destined to become the chosen text on seagrasses for any marine biology course.
Empath
Klappentext: Der ultimative Kick beim Sex – Paolo Costa ist jung, attraktiv und besitzt eine einzigartige Gabe: Er kann die Gefühle anderer Menschen spüren. Für Kommissar Torsten Jäger könnte Paolos besondere Fähigkeit der Schlüssel zu einer Reihe mysteriöser Vermisstenfälle sein. Doch je tiefer er in den Fall eintaucht, desto klarer erkennt er, dass der ihm mit Absicht zugeschanzt wurde. Als unter seinen Augen eine weitere Person verschwindet, deren Profil so gar nicht zu den anderen Verschwundenen passt, und Leichen mit Folterspuren auftauchen, beginnt eine nervenzerfetzende Jagd, in der die Grenzen zwischen Gut und Böse verschwimmen. Darum geht’s: Paolo ist der ideale Escort...
Hausbesuche
Amor ist unberechenbar, und das ist gut so – unverhoffte Glückserlebnisse machen nun einmal besonderen Spaß. Von solchen Überraschungen schreibt Tim Steiger in diesen Geschichten: Für einen Moment wird die Ordnung der Dinge gestört, das Unerwartete geschieht, und danach sieht die Welt ganz anders aus. (RoteReihe) Dieser neue Band unserer kleinen Erotik-Reihe widmet sich mit viel Liebe den Situationen, in denen zwei junge Männer aufeinandertreffen. Das verlorene Landei in der Großstadtdisco, der Oberschüler am Hafen, der Punk, dem man beim Einkaufen begegnet – Tim Steiger lässt der Phantasie Zeit, sich die Umstände einer Begegnung auszumalen, und auf die eigene Phantasie kommt es schließlich in erster Linie an. Eine neuer Tonfall, der augenzwinkernd die Idylle sucht und findet.
Social Psychology and Economics
This book combines chapters written by leading social psychologists and economists, illuminating the developing trends in explaining and understanding economic behavior in a social world. It provides insights from both fields, communicated by eloquent scholars, and demonstrates through recent research and theory how economic behaviors may be more effectively examined using a combination of both fields. Social Psychology and Economics comes at a particularly fitting time, as a psychological approach to economics has begun to flourish in recent years, and papers exploring the intersection of these two disciplines have appeared in peer-reviewed journals, opening a dynamic dialogue between previ...
In Flanders Fields: 100 Years
A beautifully designed collection of essays on war, loss and remembrance to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the writing of Canada's most famous poem. In early 1915, the death of a young friend on the battlefields of Ypres inspired Canadian soldier, field surgeon and poet John McCrae to write "In Flanders Fields." Within months of the poem's December 1915 publication in the British magazine Punch it became part of the collective consciousness in North America and Europe, and its extraordinary power has endured over the decades and across generations. In this anthology, Canada's finest historians, novelists and poets contemplate the evolving meaning of the poem; the man who wrote it and t...
