Inhaltlich unveränderte Neuauflage. Der deutsche Papst ist der breiten Öffentlichkeit eher als verschlossener und ernsthafter Mensch bekannt. Wer Papst Benedikt XVI. näher kennt, wird auch immer die andere Seite seiner Persönlichkeit erleben: seinen offenherzigen, bajuwarischen und hintergru¿ndigen Humor. Maximilian Graf von Du¿rckheim und Esther von Krosigk präsentieren unbekannte und unerwartete Anekdoten, Aperçus und allerlei Geschichten rund um den ehemaligen Kardinal Ratzinger und heutigen Papst. Wussten Sie, dass der Heilige Vater während besonders stressiger Arbeitsphasen nachts heimlich `Hanutä aß, dass man ihn wegen seiner außergewöhnlichen Formulierungsfähigkeit `Goldmund¿ nannte oder dass er als junger Student in der Mensa rief ¿Habemus Kartoffelmus¿? Lassen Sie sich u¿berraschen von einer ganz neuen Seite dieses Pontifex, der nichts weiter als ein bescheidener Arbeiter im Weinberg des Herrn sein will.
Assam, a state in north eastern India, falls in one of the world''s 34 Biodiversity hot-spots. Besides wet alluvial grasslands and lowland tropical evergreen forests, the valley along the river Brahmaputra in Assam has large human landscape of agricultural fields, human settlements, historical towns and one of the world''s largest stretches of tea gardens. Inspite of co existing together with the fragmented forests and grasslands that are still very rich in bio diversity, the tea estates are mostly devoid of nature conservation interest and are ground to human animal conflicts. Moreover, the tea industry which is the most important in Assam''s agro based economy, face questions of sustainability today due to the changing climate and other factors resulting in declined production in recent years. An integrated landscape management is required where ecology conservation and agricultural production is managed jointly for long term sustainability. This study aims to have a better insight into the existing scenario of Assam''s tea gardens; its status and impact. It looks into various practices such as Organic, Rainforest Alliance certified, environmentally non certified and Small Tea Growers. It proposes new perspectives to improve the tea industry and to enhance the ecological quality of the natural and the cultural landscape in order to balance human needs and environmental concerns.
