Product Description
The relationship between diet and human cancer has been the focus of an international symposium, organized by the Commission on the Evaluation of Food Safety (SKLM) of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). It was held in Kaiserslautern in October 1998. The remarkable results which have been presented by renouned researchers are documented in this book. There is extensive evidence that diet influences the risk of developing cancer due to carginogens and anti-carcinogens in our food. Even though much remains to be understood about the mechanisms, it is now possible to draw consistent conclusions regarding the role of diet, obesity, and alcohol in the etiology of cancer, and to make public health recommendations on the basis of those conclusions. This symposium volume not only provides an overview of our current knowledge on this topic but also points to obvious gaps, it also presents conclusions and recommendations by the SKLM. Thus the SKLM is making available an up-to-date, scientifically substantiated source of information for a wide range of readers and users. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
This volume honours the work of Abdul-Karim Rafeq, the foremost historian of Ottoman Syria. Rafeqs principal contribution to the study of the social history of Syria between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries lies in his pioneering use of the resources of the Islamic court records, the sijill?t>/i> in the ma?kama al-shar?iyya, for the writing of social and economic history. Rafeq has been the guide and mentor of many of his own contemporaries, as well as ofyounger scholars in the Arab world, Europe and North America. The volume attempts to follow and complement the major themes in the socio-economic history of Bilad al-Sham which have animated Rafeqs scholarship since the 1960s. ... Read more

Excerpt: Igor Kluvánek (27 January 1931 24 July 1993) was a Slovak-Australian mathematician. Igor Kluvánek obtained his first degree in electrical engineering from the Slovak Polytechnic University, Bratislava, in 1953. His first appointment was in the Department of Mathematics of the same institution. At the same time he worked for his C.Sc. degree obtained from the Slovak Academy of Sciences. In the early 60's he joined the Department of Mathematical Analysis of the University of Pavol Jozef afárik in Koice. During 1967-68 he held a visiting position at The Flinders University of South Australia. The events of 1968 in Czechoslovakia made it impossible for him and his family to return to their homeland. The Flinders University of South Australia was able to create a chair in applied mathematics to which he was appointed in January 1969 and occupied until his resignation in 1986. Kluvánek graduated in 1953 from the Slovak Polytechnic University with a degree in electrical engineering specialising in vacuum technology. That year, he married a former classmate from the gymnasium at Rimavská Sobota. In order to support himself, he became a part-time tutor/lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, where he remained after completing his studies. At the same time, he worked for his C.Sc. degree obtained from the Slovak Academy of Sciences. In 1961, it became known at the polytechnic that he was a practising Catholic, which was deemed to be incompatible with the position of a socialist teacher. At that time, an attempt was made to minim...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=12660079 ... Read more

Product Description
For twenty thousand miles, Peter Matthiessen crisscrossed the South American wilderness, traveling from the Amazonian rain forests to Machu Picchu high in the Andes, down to the edge of the world at Tierra del Fuego and back. In the course of his journey, he followed the trails of old explorers; encountered river bandits, wild tribesmen, and the evidence of ancient ruins; and discovered a fossilized snout of a giant unknown crocodile hidden in the depths of the jungle on the wild mountain rivers of Peru. Filled with observations and descriptions of the people and the fading wildlife of this vast world to the south, The Cloud Forest is Matthiessen s incisive, wry report of his expedition into some of the last and most exotic wild terrains in the world. ...

3-0 out of 5 stars Travelogue
With the exception of the last chapter, which comprises one hundred plus pages, this is basically a mental travelogue.

I was hoodwinked by the back cover where it mentions the author traveled 20,000 miles through South America.It does not inform the reader that the majority of his movements were by plane, train, bus and auto for half the book.Misleading.

The final chapter does deserve its place in adventurous undertakings though.Rafting down the menacing Peruvian Urubamba River and through the unforgiving Pongo Rapids does have its rank in historical accomplishments.Searching for primitive mandible bones and lost ruins in such a merciless environment is good arm-chair exploring.

I could have done without the other chapters, comparable to watching a mind-numbing documentary.

2-0 out of 5 stars Interesting but Racially Insensitive
Matthiessen's account is an honest travelogue of South America, dedicating much of its time to the Peruvian jungle. His narrative portrays a paradoxical mix of racial insensitivity, ignorance, enlightenment and progressive views. He refers to some cultures as almost subhuman, at one point proclaiming that one tribe would be better off killed at birth than living their miserable lives while at other times sympathizing with and even trying to interact with the indigenous peoples he encounters. He dislikes both Evangelical and Catholic attempts at "civilizing" the Indians thinking them more dignified when left alone and away from outside influences but he abhores the Quechua and Aymará ascribing them all manner of derogatory traits which teach the reader more about his own prejudice than about these cultures. Matthiessen refers to numerous prior works on South America and the Amazon and it seems that many of these colonial 19th century views on race have influenced his own. As someone who has lived in Bolivia for many years, I find his adventures fascinating, his accuracy and prose commendable but must also strongly caution readers that many of his derogatory descriptions of entire cultures are both wrong and offensive.

4-0 out of 5 stars Amazonian and Altiplano Travelogue
I bought this book because, having extensively traveled in Peru and horse-packed in the Peruvian Andes, I was interested in what the book had to say.Although the book was written 24 years before I first went to Peru, it was interesting to see how little had changed in those ensuing years.Not having been in the Amazon basin, I cannot speak to Peter Matthiesen's observations about the Indian tribes in the area, although I detected a lot of "gringo" condescension on his part.I flat out disagree with his characterizations of the "altiplano" indians, finding them warm, humorous and interested in "turistas" and travelers.The young children are amazing!They have no creature comforts, tend llamas, alpacas, and spin wool at the tender age of three or four, yet have the most beautiful smiles and natures!Peter Matthiesen is obviously a expert, dedicated birdwatcher, and naturalist, detailing many of his sightings.Matthiesen's encounters with Peruvian "artful dodgers" are well told and his many travails, particularly on the Urabamba river are exciting.

4-0 out of 5 stars Adventures through the Pongo on a raft
What I like about Matthiessen's account is that he has no clear destination (e.g, through "some remarkably bad planning, I crossed the Andes nine times in five months")., and hence open to adventure and experience. He writes of what he sees and what affects him. He also is reflective about how he effects the local residents or native Machiguenga guides. I have some sadness that the tribes he encountered (1960's) may no longer be there. He writes honestly, not claiming superiority, for example he takes pistol shots at crocodiles. His adventure down the Urubamba was particularly compelling ... would he find the giant crocodile bones, would he find the lost city ruins? Along the way he manages to accomplish something remarkable (the traverse of the Pongo), and as any proud adventurer, tries to understand if his adventure was historically unique. For bird watchers, there is an added enjoyment of trying to identify some of the birds he describes along the way. This travel journal sets a standard for other adventurers and for my own daily journals.

Product Description
Begünstigt durch die überwiegend positive ökonomische Entwicklung der vergangenen Jahre haben inzwischen weite Teile der Bevölkerung die soziokulturelle Bedeutung und den als Luxus interpretierbaren hedonistischen Wert des Weinkonsums für sich entdeckt. Trotz des zunehmenden Interesses scheint jedoch der kundenseitige Kenntnisstand bezüglich des alkoholischen Getränks aus Trauben verhältnismäßig gering zu sein, wofür nicht zuletzt die Existenz nahezu 20.000 verschiedener Rebsorten ursächlich sein dürfte. Entsprechend stellt sich für das Marketing die Frage, welche Kriterien (Preis, Herstellername, Herkunftsland etc.) die Konsumenten zur Bestimmung der Qualität ausgewählter Weine heranziehen. Ausgehend von diesem Hintergrund erfolgt im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit eine nähere Betrachtung des Country of Origin Effekts; mithilfe einer empirischen Studie wird dessen Bedeutung für die Kaufentscheidung im Weinmarkt analysiert. ...
