In Search of Singularity introduces a new "compairative" methodology that seeks to understand how the interplay of paired texts creates meaning in new, transcultural contexts. Bringing the worlds of contemporary Polish and Chinese poetry since 1989 into conversation with one another, Joanna Krenz applies the concept of singularity to draw out resonances and intersections between these two discourses and shows how they have responded to intertwined historical and political trajectories and a new reality beyond the human. Drawing on developments such as AI poetry and ecopoetry, Krenz makes the case for a fresh approach to comparative poetry studies that takes into account new forms of poetic expression and probes into alternative grammars of understanding.

When something is birthed it is the beginning of a new life and in order for that life to thrive it must go through a process. For instance, when a child is born they are completely dependent on others. As the child matures and grows, the child must be disciplined in order to be taught right from wrong. If a child is not disciplined they will become very unruly and the lines of right and wrong become blurred. Proverbs 22:6 "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." When a parent disciplines a child in love that child has a choice to make. If the child accepts the discipline in love, the child will mature and become a healthy adult. However, if the child decides to not accept the discipline in love and rebel, the child becomes more rebellious and angry, leading to a dysfunctional immature adult.

In the series of International Protoplast Symposia the Symposium of 1987 was held in Wageningen (The Netherlands). Earlier Symposia took place in Jena (DDR) 1963, Brno (CSSR) 1967, Salamanca (Spain) 1971, Nottingham (UK) 1975, Szeged (Hungary) 1979 and Basel (Switzerland) 1983. This 7th International Protoplast Symposium was organized by K.J. Puite (Secretary), J.J.M. Dons (Treasurer), H.J.Huizing and E.J.L. Hotke-Staal (Local Organizers), the first three persons being scientists, respectively, from the Research Institute Ital, the Institute for horticultural plant breeding IVT and the Foundation for agricultural plant breeding SVP at Wageningen. Scientific Advisers of the Symposium were A. J. Kool, M. Koornneef and F.A. Krens. The International Agricultural Centre lAC served as the Symposium location. The Organizing Committee decided that the scientific programme of the Symposium should be mainly focussed on protoplast technology of relevance to plant breeding. Therefore research on microbial protoplasts and on secondary metabolites was not included. About 250 scientists from 27 different countries were welcomed at the meeting. Speakers at Symposium Sessions and authors of Poster contributions were asked to hand over their manuscripts for the Symposium Proceedings already at the meeting, permit ting early publication of the Proceedings. These manuscripts give the state of the art of the protoplast research and illustrate the progress since the last Protoplast Symposium.

This book sheds light on how the modern 3-bladed wind turbine came into being, and who, how and what in the proceeding period caused the success. It looks back over three decades to find the roots of this exciting development, a long cavalcade of developers, inventors, and manufacturers including the Danish authors who themselves were part of the breakthrough. Written for non-specialists, the book covers minimal science, emphasizing the story of how wind power became a worldwide 30-billion-euro business employing nearly one million people.

The sixth volume in the series Medicinal and Aromatic Plants -Industrial Profiles, written by experts working in ergot research. Ergot (claviceps purpura) is best known as a disease of rye and grasses. it is probably the most widely cultivated fungus and it has become an important field crop. Ergot alkaloids, which are extensively used in medicine, are the main reason for its importance.;This work begins with the history of ergot research which is comparable to that of the discovery of penicillin. review articles on claviceps taxonomy, genetics, biogenetic and pharmacology are based on recent achievements in molecular biology - some of them published there for the first time. The chapters on ergot cultivation, physiology and biotechnology are written by experts in industry. Sections dealing with the chemistry of ergot alkaloids and biotransformation are comprehensive and serve as good reference material.;Unique information on world producers and industrial production of ergot alkaloids and their derivatives is detailed. The therapeutic use of ergot alkaloids is presented; and the dangers of their use in ecology and agriculture are discussed in detail.

In part 2 of Wind Power for the World, the editors have collected reports and overviews of wind power status and history in various countries, several written by individuals who have made valuable contributions to the successful emergence of wind power. The chapters cover the uphill struggle; wind energy strategies and policies that paved the way; and the creative persons in politics, agencies, institutes, and the industry. It also examines the world societies at large and how solutions to the challenges were found in different countries.

Moliere's anticlerical comedy Tartuffe is the unique prism through which Sheryl Kroen views postrevolutionary France in the years of the Restoration. Following the lead of the French men and women who turned to this anticlerical play in the 1820s to make sense of their world, Kroen exposes the crisis of legitimacy defining the regime in these years and demonstrates how the people of the time made steps toward a democratic resolution to this crisis. Moving from the town squares, where state and ecclesiastical officials orchestrated their public spectacles in favor of the monarchy, to the theaters, where the French used Tartuffe to mock the restored monarch and the church, this cultural history of the Restoration offers a rich and colorful portrait of a period in which critical legacies of the revolutionary period were played out and cemented. While most historians have characterized the Restoration as a period of reaction and reversal, Kroen offers convincing evidence that the Restoration was a critical bridge between the emerging practices of the Old Regime, the Revolution, and the post-1830 politics of protest. Looking beyond the official political realm from which most people were excluded, Kroen vividly evokes the town squares, marketplaces, cafes, churches, and theaters where protesters penned and posted placards, uttered seditious cries, sang revolutionary songs, trafficked in the illegal accoutrements of the revolutionary and imperial past, attacked crosses and busts of kings, and organized charivaris against unpopular priests and civil officials.

Kroen re-creates the atmosphere of Restoration France and at the same time brings major nineteenth-century themes into focus: memoryand commemoration, public and private spheres, politics and religion, anticlericalism, and the formation of democratic ideologies and practices. Of value to anyone interested in the complicated process of how political legitimacy is constituted, both from above and below, Kroen's book will be welcomed not only by modern French historians but also by scholars of revolution, comparative monarchy and democracy, political theory, and religion, and by specialists on theater and cultural practices.

Chinese Poetry and Translation: Rights and Wrongs offers fifteen essays on the triptych of poetry + translation + Chinese. The collection has three parts: "The Translator's Take," "Theoretics," and "Impact." The conversation stretches from queer-feminist engagement with China's newest poetry to philosophical and philological reflections on its oldest, and from Tang- and Song-dynasty classical poetry in Western languages to Baudelaire and Celan in Chinese. Translation is taken as an interlingual and intercultural act, and the essays foreground theoretical expositions and the practice of translation in equal but not opposite measure. Poetry has a transforming yet ever-acute relevance in Chinese culture, and this makes it a good entry point for studying Chinese-foreign encounters. Pushing past oppositions that still too often restrict discussions of translation-form versus content, elegance versus accuracy, and "the original" versus "the translated" - this volume brings a wealth of new thinking to the interrelationships between poetry, translation, and China.

In der Arbeit wurden universale Notationsgrundregeln festgelegt, mit denen Dolmetscher den Kern ihrer individuellen Notationssysteme bilden koennen. Es sind Matysseksche Notationsregeln mit einem so hohen generativen Potenzial, dass sie von den meisten Dolmetschern bei der Notizennahme angewendet werden. Das von Jerzy Zmudzki entwickelte KSD-Modell wurde um die Phase Speicherung erganzt, die aus zwei parallel verlaufenden Subphasen Memorisierung und Notizennahme besteht, wobei deren Platzierung von der Notationssprache im jeweiligen Moment abhangt. Daruber hinaus wurden die Merkmale der Textsorte Notationstext bestimmt, wobei dieser immer an den AS- und ZS-Text gebundene Text als Subtext zu diesen Texten zu betrachten ist. Die Arbeit liefert auch einen Beitrag zur Diskussion um die Notationssprache(n).

Das vorliegende Buch uber den Elektrounfall behandelt ein Tatsa- chengebiet, das seit etwa drei Jahrzehnten im westdeutschen Schrift- tum nicht mehr monografisch dargestellt wurde. Zwar ist der Elek- trounfall mit Wdlichem Ausgang zum Gluck kein allzu haufiges Ereignis. Er bedroht uns aber in Heim und Betrieb dafUr aufSchritt und Tritt, und wenn es einmal zu einem Unfall kommt, ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit, da13 er Wdlich verlauft, rund zehnmal hoher als bei anderen Unfallformen. Der elektrische Strom ist also in beson- derem Ma13e gefahrlich, er ist zudem unsichtbar. Der Schutz vor ElektrounHillen mu13 also eine besonders ausgebildete Form von Schutz sein. Dies und natiirlich die immer noch zunehmende An- wendung des elektrischen Stromes in Industrie und Privatbereich lassen den Elektrounfall als ein in vieler Hinsicht besonderes Pro- blem erscheinen. Die Autoren dieses Buches haben sich bemuht, diese Besonder- heiten darzustellen. Die Problematik la13t sich der Sache nach leicht in folgende Teilfragen gliedern: die technischen Fragen der Anwen- dung von elektrischem Strom und daraus flie13ende Gefahren, die biologischen Probleme so1cher Gefahren, die arztlichen Spezialfra- gen (Therapie, Begutachtung) und die Fragen des Unfallschutzes. Das Buch wendet sich also, wie man sieht, an einen breiten Kreis von lnteressenten: an die in der Unfallverhutung Tatigen, aber auch an aIle Betriebsangehorige, we1che besondere Verantwortung bei der technischen Anwendung von Elektrizitat tragen; an Ante, ins- besondere natiirlich Betriebsarzte, an das sanitare Hilfspersonal, doch auch an jeden interessierten Laien. Es wurde darauf geachtet, da13 der Text (mit einigen unvermeidlichen Ausnahmen) auch fUr den medizinischen Laien verstandlich blieb.

Vorlip, gendes Buchlein soll keinesfalls erschopfend jene Behandlungsmethoden darstellen, die wir mit Vorteil bei kos metisch storenden Hautaffektionen verwenden; es sind lediglich Winke fur den allgemein praktizierenden Arzt gegeben; es ist ein Fordernis der heutigen Zeit, dass er auch uber diese Thera pie orientiert ist. Es sind deshalb auch nur jene BehandlU1lgs arten genannt, die mit einfachen Mitteln durchgefuhrt werden konnen. Wenn auch die Therapie mit ultravioletten Strahlen, mit elektrischen Apparaten (Elektrolyse, Galvano- und Kalt kaustik) und die Kohlensaureschnee-Behandlung mit zu den einfachen Mitteln gezahlt werden, so ist das deswegen ge schehen, weil elektrische Kraft heute fast uherall zu finden ist und sich jeder moderne Arzt vielfach ihrer bedient. Aueh Koh lensaure wird von verschiedenen Lebensmittelhandlern benutzt und ist deswegen auch fur die meisten Arzte leicht erreichbar. Rontgen, Radium und Buckys Grenzstrahltherapie, sowie grossere chirurgische Eingriffe sind aus oben genannten Grun den unbesprochen geblieben. Ihre Anwendung ist nur anged. eu tet worden. Moge das Buchlein in dem Sinne gewertet werden, in dem es geschrieben ist. "\V i e n, im Dezember 1929. Otto Kren. Inhaltsverzeichnis.
