Insecticide & herbicide technologySeptember 2001Convention on Biological Diversity and Product Commercialisation in Development Assistance Projects
A Case Study of LUBILOSA
by David R Dent, Christopher Lomer
The LUBILOSA (Lutte Biologique contre les Locustes et Sauteriaux) Programme was initiated in 1989 and has been successful in developing a bioinsecticide for the biological control of locusts and grasshoppers. The efficacy of the product named Green Muscle has been clearly demonstrated in Africa, and provides an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical insecticides. Although it predates the Convention on Biological Diversity, LUBILOSA has been conducted in accordance with the benefit sharing and related provisions of the Convention.This book provides a review of the programme in order to demonstrate how such research and product commercialisation can be accomplished in the context of a development assistance project. In particular it shows how the provisions of the Convention can be fulfilled with respect to: equitable sharing of research results and benefits; access to and transfer of technology; exchange of information; technical and scientific cooperation; participation in research; financial resources.

LA POLÍTICA DEL ODIO
by HUGO N. GERSTL
LA POLÍTICA DEL ODIO – Una aguda y reveladora visión de la política norteamericana De cómo obstruccionistas, medios de comunicación e intereses creados están convirtiendo a los Estados Unidos en un país del tercer mundo y CÓMO PODEMOS RECUPERARNOS por HUGO N. GERSTL Los Estados Unidos están siendo destruidos de manera sistemática, no desde afuera por terroristas, sino desde adentro, por intereses creados. El país está siendo destruido por políticos, por presentadores de programa de entrevistas, magnates mediáticos y demagogos populistas, que procuran conservar su «territorio» a cualquier precio, obstruyendo la aprobación de leyes provechosas, mediante mentiras y acusaciones escandalosas, campañas negativas y agravios injustificados. Estos «redentores» no presentan ninguna idea constructiva que hayan concebido para ayudar a salir del atolladero en el que nuestro país se encuentra. En lo único que piensan los políticos es en ser electos y reelectos. El señuelo de USD 100.000 de honorarios de conferencista es un potente afrodisíaco. El señuelo del poder es un afrodisíaco aún más potente. Políticos, metemiedos, parlanchines y líderes empresariales se deleitan con su fama, su gloria y su autoproclamada sabiduría, en momentos en que el país está más endeudado que cualquier otra nación en la historia y cuando año a año avanzamos cada vez más rápido hacia la posibilidad de convertirnos en un país del tercer mundo. Si el público comienza a sumar dos más dos, la respuesta lógica debe ser cuatro. Pero hasta ahora, aún se puede hacer creer al estadounidense promedio que dos más dos equivale a cualquier número que a los maestros del rollo político se les ocurra. Lo peor es que más del 40% de los estadounidenses aceptan la política de miedo, cizaña y atropello, sin siquiera detenerse un momento a pensar qué es exactamente lo que estos traficantes del odio político ofrecen a cambio de echar a un lado a una facción y asegurarse para ellos mismos las ventajas del poder. Pero independientemente de las querellas políticas internas o externas, lo que hacemos es algo parecido a dos pulgas que se pelean para saber cuál de ellas es la propietaria del perro. Parece que no nos damos cuenta de que el tiempo y el dinero se nos han acabado, que ya no podemos permitirnos el lujo de astutas maniobras políticas y de inútiles y estúpidas reyertas. Aunque este oportuno libro señala a quién es el culpable, va también un poco más allá y cuenta cómo los Estados Unidos, la nación más poderosa del planeta, pueden recuperar el control de su destino y curar su propia enfermedad. HUGO N. GERSTL obtuvo una licenciatura en ciencias políticas e historia de la Universidad de California en Los Ángeles (UCLA) y después cursó estudios y se graduó en la Facultad de Derecho de la misma universidad. Gerstl rechazó una invitación para postularse para el Congreso por el partido Republicano, ya que eso hubiera significado competir con su amigo y colega, el abogado León Panetta, que acababa de completar su primera cadencia en el Congreso. Gerstl es ampliamente conocido en todo el país hace ya cuarenta y seis años como abogado penalista y sigue siendo eternamente optimista acerca de la capacidad de recuperación del pueblo estadounidense.

Stalemate: There can be no winners
by Hugo N. Gerstl
Thirty-five years ago, Libertyville had a population of 2,000. Its citizens thought it would become the next Atlanta. But it’s now 1989, and the population is down to 278 and falling. The town’s remaining employer, the outdated, money-losing Libertyville Cotton Works, owned by an elderly Holocaust survivor, has been sold to a conglomerate that intends to reap huge tax and political benefits.But two other factions have different ideas. Bishop William Wyatt Walker, spellbinding African-American televangelist whose church takes in $500 million a year in contributions from the poorest of the poor, decides the church has lost touch with the common man and needs a new symbol of salvation – the Libertyville Cotton Works and the 40 acres that surround it. He’ll do whatever it takes to make sure the church gets the property.Meanwhile, a brilliant, Mexican-American lawyer and his militant contingent, faced with “the country’s growing paranoia toward Hispanics,” seeks to create his own Sanctuary Nation. His “army” takes armed control of the cotton works, holding hostages to ensure that the factory and its acreage are deeded to “the first truly Mexican town in the Southeastern U.S.”The stage is set for a Stalemate of epic proportions, a war where there can be no winners. Like James Dickey’s Deliverance, this book is a mixture of a thriller tinged with adventure, camaraderie, dread, and the horror that only an unexpected, unspeakable situation can inflict. Human nature is human nature, and it is impossible to predict how anyone would act if confronted with a similar situation. Powerful and suspenseful, Stalemate explores the best – and the worst – in the human spirit as it thunders toward a spine-chilling climax.International best-selling author Hugo N. Gerstl’s latest work is one you won’t be able to put down – and one you’ll long remember. Published by Pangæa Publishing Group 184 pages – 23 cm x 15 cm

Agriculture & related industriesSeptember 1994Agricultural Management Economics
Activity Analysis and Decision Making
by Allan N Rae
This book on agricultural management and decision making differs from other texts which tend to describe production economics followed by the presentation of analytical approaches. Instead, the processes of agricultural production and their management are couched in terms of activity analysis, since this permits greater integration of theory with practical evaluations. Analytical tools developed in the book involve the construction of spreadsheet models, and readers are able to construct their own PC spreadsheets from the book’s examples and case studies. Economic principles are presented that will assist in improving the design of agricultural processes and technologies, in guiding their appropriate combination in a business setting, and with the making of decisions through time and in recognition of noncertainty. Activity analysis models that allow the design and combination of agricultural activities to be optimized are also discussed. These include single versus multiple objective models, investment models, and approaches that allow decisions to be optimized under conditions of noncertainty.

Die Politik des Irrsinns
by Hugo N. Gerstl
Die Politik des Irrsinns / Hugo N. Gerstl Amerikas Freunde und unsere Feinde kratzen sich am Kopf und denken: „Wenn man die Welt auf die Seite stellen würde, würden alle losen Nüsse in den Vereinigten Staaten landen.“ Das absurde Theater ist auf allen Fernsehgeräten, Smartphones und sozialen Medien ausgebrochen. Ein megareicher Emporkömmling, der systematisch jedes Segment der Gesellschaft in den Vereinigten Staaten vor den Kopf stößt, steht kurz davor, der nächste Präsident zu werden! Kandidaten leugnen die Anzeichen des globalen Klimawandels – egal, Gott wird uns beschützen, und da er ein christlicher Gott ist, wird er uns gleich noch dabei helfen, die Muslime loszuwerden! Kann sich jemand zwei ernsthafte Kandidaten für das höchste Amt in den Vereinigten Staaten vorstellen, die sich über die Größe ihrer Genitalien streiten? („Sie wissen, was man über Männer mit kleinen Händen sagt...“). Willkommen bei Die Politik des Irrsinns, einem ernsthaften Blick auf die neueste Form des bizarren „Reality-TV“. Wenn höchstens 2 % der Kandidatenliste vernünftige, ernsthafte Kandidaten sind. Wenn es akzeptabel ist zu sagen: „Wollt ihr etwa einen Präsidenten mit so einer Nase?“ Wenn eine Kandidatengattin halbnackt in der Werbung posiert. Aber ob Sie es glauben oder nicht, Prediger 1:9 ist Realität: „Es gibt nichts Neues unter der Sonne.“ Der politische Irrsinn ist nicht in den Vereinigten Staaten erfunden worden, und selbst in Amerika waren wir schon einmal auf diesem Weg. Hugo N. Gerstl, Autor von The Politics of Hate (2012), seziert mit scharfem Skalpell den American Pie der Politik von 2016 und beschreibt, was wie ein undurchdringlicher tragikomischer Irrgarten der Verrücktheit erscheint. Er schließt optimistisch, mit den Worten eines ehemaligen Präsidenten, dessen Frau im Rennen um das Weiße Haus die Nase vorn hat: „Es gibt nichts Falsches an Amerika, das nicht mit dem geheilt werden kann, was an Amerika richtig ist.“ Eine englischsprachige E-Book-Ausgabe wurde im Herbst 2016 von Samuel Wachtmans Sons, Inc., CA, veröffentlicht. 250 Seiten, 15 x 22,5 cm.
