An up-to-date discussion of early Christian paraenesis in its
Graeco-Roman and Hellenistic Jewish contexts in the light of one
hundred years of scholarship, issuing from a research project by
Nordic and international scholars. The concept of paraenesis is
basic to New Testament scholarship but hardly anywhere else. How is
that to be explained? The concept is also, notoriously, without any
agreed-upon definition and it is even contested. Can it at all be
salvaged? This volume reassesses the scholarly discussion of
paraenesis - both the concept and the phenomenon - since Paul
Wendland and Martin Dibelius and argues for a number of ways in
which it may continue to be fruitful.
The microscopic soil and plant nematodes that are parasitic on crop
plants can be very damaging, and are generally not visible to the
naked eye. Their microscopic size means that associating them with
crop damage is mainly dependent on determining the symptoms of
their effects on plants or plant growth. The damage and symptoms
caused can be visible above ground but, apart from poor growth and
yield of the plants, the specific nematode can only be seen below
the ground in the plant organs; mainly the roots, rhizomes, bulbs,
corms and tubers. This book aims to help people working
commercially with crop plants to identify and improve their
diagnosis of nematodes of agricultural importance. There is an
introductory chapter on nematode biology and parasitism, and the
crops they are likely to attack. Crop chapters are divided into
grain legumes, vegetables, flower crops, cereals, root and tuber
crops, and tree and plantation crops. Coverage includes
distribution, identification, symptoms and diagnosis, with
management suggestions also presented. A final chapter outlines
common methods used in nematology. This book is invaluable to a
range of professionals including growers, farmers and students
working in crop protection, plant pathology, and agriculture.

Root-knot nematodes are the most economically important group of
plant-parasitic nematodes worldwide, and their control presents a
major global challenge. Advances are being made in understanding
their biology, host-parasite interaction and management strategies,
and this comprehensive guide with many color photos and
contributions from international experts covers the taxonomy,
classification, morphology, life-cycle biology, genomes,
resistance, sampling, detection, and management strategies of these
pests, providing an essential reference for researchers, students
and lecturers in plant nematology, plant pathology, agriculture,
and agronomy.
Smiling through the Tears is a moving tribute that honors the
memory of a beloved father and sister with poetry that reminds us
of the power of love, the joy of family and the strength from God.
