Through the Sad Wood Our Corpses Will Hang
"At the age of twenty, Sheyda Porrouya's life is almost over. She was born in Iran on the day staunchly orthodox mullas declared the birth of the Islamic Republic and set about summarily purging the country of all things Western and un-Islamic. When the Regime shut down universities, Sheyda's father, who had been an ambitious law student, ended up as a load-lifter. To make matters worse, as she matured Sheyda seemed increasingly unable to distinguish between fairy tale and reality. She began to exhibit disturbing behavior. Her pious mother began to believe that her daughter was possessed and so, seeking a divine cure, she visited shrine after shrine. Almost everyone suspects that she is deranged, everyone except her lifelong therapist, Dr. Fereydoon, and a beautiful black-eyed cripple who lives next door. They don't think she's crazy, but they know she's not sane either. When Sheyda is accused of killing her mother, she is immediately jailed and sentenced to death by hanging. The narrative jumps back and forth from Sheyda's childhood to her current life in one of Iran's most notorious prisons, where she awaits either release or execution."--
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.
Advanced Oxidation Processes for Water Treatment
Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) rely on the efficient generation of reactive radical species and are increasingly attractive options for water remediation from a wide variety of organic micropollutants of human health and/or environmental concern. Advanced Oxidation Processes for Water Treatment covers the key advanced oxidation processes developed for chemical contaminant destruction in polluted water sources, some of which have been implemented successfully at water treatment plants around the world. The book is structured in two sections; the first part is dedicated to the most relevant AOPs, whereas the topics covered in the second section include the photochemistry of chemical conta...
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.

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...

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.
