You can't plant traminette if you're behind bars . . . When reluctant winery owner Norrie Ellington is gifted with cockroach DNA, she thinks things couldn't get worse. But then the body of a noted developer is found at a neighboring winery, and all fingers point to her friend Madeline Martinez. It doesn't help that Madeline was seen having verbal altercations with the man on two different occasions when he outbid her for lakefront property she planned to use for planting traminette grapes.It's no wonder Madeline has found herself behind bars, and worse yet, someone is gunning for Norrie. With wine to be racked, roach DNA to be stored, and a slew of unsavory suspects, Norrie must put her screenwriting on hold and her sleuthing skills to work before she finds herself alongside her friend, or-heaven forbid-the next victim of a ruthless killer . . .

To hold you closein this sacred space."From "My Girl And Me":"Snuggled up, my girl and me, every night, her place to be.Feeling her by metouching my side, my girl and me along for the ride.Returning each eveningto nestle with me,no place on earthshe would rather be."Eighty-two pages with graphics throughout in Victorian style, with an eye-catching gloss cover.

Verstehen Sie Katze? Die Katzen-Verhaltensforscherin Dr. Sarah Brown erklärt, wie Katzen kommunizieren - untereinander und mit den Menschen. Schnurren, Fauchen, Miauen, Kratzen, Ohren anlegen, Duftmarken setzen, Schwanzwedeln und Köpfchengeben - Katzen sind unglaublich ausdrucksstark, doch uns Menschen ist meist nicht klar, was ihr Verhalten bedeutet. In farbigen Erzählungen von ihren eigenen Katzen und mit informativen Erläuterungen zu spannenden Katzenstudien öffnet uns die Verhaltensforscherin und Katzenexpertin Sarah Brown die Augen: Sie übersetzt die Signale, die Katzen für die Kommunikation untereinander und mit uns Menschen im Laufe ihrer sozialen Evolution entwickelt haben, und beschreibt Merkmale verschiedener Persönlichkeitstypen. Sie schenkt uns damit vor allem eines: den Schlüssel zu einer noch tieferen Beziehung zu unseren geliebten Haustieren. Informativ, kurzweilig und wunderbar illustriert: »Dieses Buch ist ein faszinierender Mix aus realen Geschichten und wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen, die auf Browns fundiertem Fachwissen beruhen. Alle, die Katzen lieben, werden gleichermaßen unterhalten und informiert.« Prof. Dr. John Bradshaw, Anthrozoologisches Institut, Universität Bristol

Der Garten als Lehrmeister - vom Wiederfinden eines Lebens im Einklang mit der Natur  Als Katrin de Vries nach Jahren in der Großstadt zurück in ihre Heimat zieht, in ein Backsteinhaus in Ostfriesland, zu dem auch ein großer Garten gehört, ist sie noch überzeugt: Rasen gehört gemäht, Unkraut gejätet und morsche Bäume sollten gefällt werden. Doch nach und nach ändert sich ihre Vorstellung von Naturschönheit, ja von Natur überhaupt, und sie wagt einen neuen Ansatz: Statt den Garten nach herrschenden Vorstellungen zu gestalten, lässt sie den Bäumen, Gräsern, Büschen und Blumen vor ihrer Haustür freien Lauf. Und während es um sie herum wächst, wimmelt und sprießt, beobachtet sie und lernt - und muss dabei unweigerlich an ihre Großeltern denken, für die der Garten noch eine ganz andere Bedeutung hatte.  Was können wir von der Natur vor unserer Haustür lernen?

Neu illustrierte bibliophile Ausgabe unseres Klassikers!"Zunächst wird der kleine Kreis wirklicher Kenner, dann aber jeder ,feine Reiter' (E. v. Neindorff) und Schöngeist über die Neugeburt einer, wenn nicht der einfühlsamsten Reflexion über das Reiten hocherfreut sein. Wer sich nicht dem Wettbewerb mit Tieren verschrieben hat, sondern der Zielsetzung eines Franz von Assisi, dem wird diese Schrift viel zu bedeuten haben, die ich ohne Zögern als Hohelied der Reitkultur bezeichne."

Der Sattel gehört mit zu den Hauptauslösern, wenn es um Probleme in der Ausbildung des Reitpferdes und beim Reiten geht. Rittigkeitsprobleme, Rückenbeschwerden und Lahmheiten sind die Folge, wenn der Sattel nicht passt und das Pferd in der Bewegung einengt. Irreparable Schäden und Sattelzwang können daraus resultieren. Drei wissenschaftlich ausgerichtete Praktiker, Eckart Meyners, Experte für Bewegungslehre und Reitpädagoge, Dr. med. vet. Robert Stodulka, Experte für Osteopathie und Biomechanik, und Eberhard Weiß, international gefragter Reitlehrer, Schüler von E. von Neindorff, erklären erstmals gemeinsam, wie der richtig angepasste pferdegerechte Sattel aussehen muss, damit er Pferd und Reiter in ihrer Leistungsfähigkeit und Bewegungsmöglichkeit nicht stört. Reiter, Reit- und Pferdeausbilder, aber vor allem auch Sattler und ganzheitlich arbeitende Therapeuten erhalten hier das Rüstzeug, um biomechanische und reiterlich-funktionelle Zusammenhänge bei der Beurteilung von Sätteln, der Sattelauswahl und -anpassung zu berücksichtigen.

A conferência centrou-se no cenário recente: o aquecimento global é a principal causa do problema. Espera-se que as alterações climáticas globais tenham impacto nas interacções inseto-planta de várias formas. Podem afetar os insectos diretamente, através de alterações na fisiologia, no comportamento e nos parâmetros da história de vida, bem como indiretamente, através de alterações sofridas pelas plantas hospedeiras na sua morfologia, bioquímica, fisiologia e padrões de riqueza, diversidade e abundância. Os insectos desempenham um papel importante nos serviços ecossistémicos, actuando como herbívoros, polinizadores, predadores e parasitóides, e as alterações na sua abundância e diversidade têm o potencial de alterar os serviços que prestam. O número de estudos que relatam os efeitos das alterações climáticas nos insectos aumentou rapidamente nos últimos 20 anos. A conferência foi um encontro privilegiado de educadores, professores, cientistas, tecnólogos, inovadores, estudantes de pós-graduação e outros interessados em partilhar ideias, conhecimentos e experiências. Esta conferência permitiu melhorar o problema da investigação para os estudantes, jovens investigadores e comunidades científicas no domínio da diversidade de insectos e das técnicas de gestão, ferramentas e tendências recentes importantes.

La conferenza si è concentrata sullo scenario recente: il riscaldamento globale è la causa principale del problema. Si prevede che i cambiamenti climatici globali avranno un impatto sulle interazioni tra insetti e piante in diversi modi. Potrebbero influenzare gli insetti sia direttamente, attraverso cambiamenti nella fisiologia, nel comportamento e nei parametri della storia di vita, sia indirettamente, attraverso cambiamenti sperimentati dalle piante ospiti nella loro morfologia, biochimica, fisiologia e modelli di ricchezza, diversità e abbondanza. Gli insetti svolgono un ruolo importante nei servizi ecosistemici, agendo come erbivori, impollinatori, predatori e parassitoidi e i cambiamenti nella loro abbondanza e diversità possono potenzialmente alterare i servizi che forniscono. Il numero di studi che riportano gli effetti dei cambiamenti climatici sugli insetti è aumentato rapidamente negli ultimi 20 anni. La conferenza è stata il primo incontro di educatori, professori, scienziati, tecnologi, innovatori, studenti laureati e altri interessati a condividere idee, conoscenze ed esperienze. Questa conferenza ha permesso di migliorare i problemi di ricerca per gli studenti, i giovani ricercatori e le comunità scientifiche nel campo della diversità degli insetti e delle tecniche di gestione, degli strumenti e delle importanti tendenze recenti.

Die Konferenz konzentrierte sich auf das aktuelle Szenario, dass die globale Erwärmung ein großes Problem darstellt. Es wird erwartet, dass sich die globalen klimatischen Veränderungen auf verschiedene Weise auf die Interaktionen zwischen Insekten und Pflanzen auswirken werden. Sie können sich sowohl direkt auf die Insekten auswirken, indem sie die Physiologie, das Verhalten und die lebensgeschichtlichen Parameter verändern, als auch indirekt, indem sie die Wirtspflanzen in ihrer Morphologie, Biochemie, Physiologie und den Mustern von Reichtum, Vielfalt und Abundanz verändern. Insekten spielen eine wichtige Rolle bei der Erbringung von Ökosystemleistungen, da sie als Pflanzenfresser, Bestäuber, Räuber und Parasitoide fungieren, und Veränderungen in ihrer Abundanz und Vielfalt haben das Potenzial, die von ihnen erbrachten Leistungen zu verändern. Die Zahl der Studien, die über die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels auf Insekten berichten, hat in den letzten 20 Jahren rapide zugenommen. Die Konferenz war ein erstklassiges Treffen von Pädagogen, Professoren, Wissenschaftlern, Technologen, Innovatoren, Doktoranden und anderen, die Ideen, Wissen und Erfahrungen austauschen wollten. Die Konferenz bot Studenten, jungen Forschern und wissenschaftlichen Gemeinschaften die Möglichkeit, ihre Forschungsprobleme auf dem Gebiet der Insektenvielfalt und der Bewirtschaftungstechniken und -instrumente sowie wichtiger neuer Trends zu vertiefen.

Fire-resistant grass plants are botanical species that possess inherent qualities and adaptive features which enable them to withstand the threat of wildfires and reduce their susceptibility to ignition. While these plants are not impervious to fire, they exhibit characteristics that significantly mitigate the risk of fire propagation, making them vital components of fire-adapted ecosystems and landscapes. One of the defining attributes of fire-resistant grass plants is their relatively low flammability. These plants typically have a higher moisture content in their leaves and stems, making them less prone to rapid ignition.Additionally, their growth patterns often include a clumping or bunching habit, which can slow the spread of fire as gaps between individual plants reduce the continuous fuel available to the flames. Moisture retention is a key factor contributing to the fire resistance of these grass plants. Their ability to hold moisture, even during dry periods, creates a barrier that inhibits fire from taking hold. In contrast, dry and highly flammable plants can readily ignite and accelerate the progress of a wildfire. Furthermore, many fire-resistant grass species possess adaptations that facilitate post-fire recovery.They can resprout from underground structures such as rhizomes, bulbs, or corms after a fire has passed. This capacity for regeneration enables these grasses to recolonize burned areas swiftly, aiding in the restoration of ecosystems and reducing soil erosion. The significance of fire-resistant grass plants extends beyond their individual properties. Incorporating these plants into landscaping and vegetation management strategies can enhance fire safety and create more resilient communities. By creating defensible spaces around structures, where fire-resistant plants are strategically positioned, the potential for wildfires to encroach on buildings is reduced.
