Leser werden dazu angeregt, über die eigene Namenswahl und deren Auswirkungen auf das Leben nachzudenken.

This definitive reference to the world of mushrooms is an essential addition to every mushroom hunter's field kit. The various habitats where mushrooms are found, the times of year when different mushrooms grow are included, along with essential information on equipment, storing and preserving, and how to take a spore print. A fully illustrated A-Z guide follows with the identifying features and habitats of the most popular edible mushrooms. Each entry is accompanied by a clear photographic portrait of the mushroom and in-place images of the growing mushroom for even more accurate information. Additional hints and tips for culinary preparation tell how to preserve, store and cook mushrooms. Finally, a chapter on inedible mushrooms clearly illustrates all the poisonous and possibly deceptive kinds of mushrooms which the picker is most likely to come across.

"As a species, we have become profoundly talented architects of our own future. And yet, we so often struggle to come to terms with what this means and the responsibility that comes with this ability. As our world is driven along by the breakneck speed of innovation and rapidly-shifting norms and expectations, we sometimes need to find a still, quiet place to pause and think. Future Rising sets out to create such a quiet place, where we can take advantage of our species' knowledge of the environment, world history, and the importance of science to piece together a positive picture of the future."--Publisher's description

The Working Group (WG) on Exonyms of the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names was established in 2002. The papers in this volume of Name & Place, marking the 19th Meeting of the WG in Prague in 2017, represent a cross-section of the knowledge acquired after 15 years of collective activities, in which the WG has developed – and hopefully enhanced – its understanding and appreciation of the subject of exonyms with the sub-themes usage, standardization, definitions, and criteria. All of them have been examined in this book series. In this volume we return to the subject of exonym usage, through papers which reveal a survey of the circumstances under which exonyms are deployed in individual countries today.
