        Conventional plant breeding alone can no longer sustain the rising global demand for food. Genetic engineering technology makes it possible to develop new crop varieties with improved yield performance, specific quality attributes (external and internal in vegetable crops), resistance to diseases and insect pests, and environmental stresses. Genetic engineering technology for developing GM crops is complementary to genome editing and other breeding technologies. In addition to food requirements, transgenic crops have the possibility to carry edible vaccines and therapeutic proteins, to help combat human disease and malnutrition. This book reviews the importance and safety of transgenic vegetable crops and covers a wide variety of crops and different technologies. It includes: Genetic engineering in tomato, eggplant, peppers, amaranth, cauliflower, carrot, cucurbits, potato, tropical tubers and melons. Transgenic resistance to viral diseases. Embryogenic cell suspension culture. Genome editing and CRISPR/Cas9. Molecular techniques for biofortification. RNAi strategies for vegetable crop improvement. Designing futuristic vegetable crop varieties. This book is suitable for researchers in horticulture, plant science, and agricultural biotechnology as well as practitioners in vegetable breeding and seed production.

        Studio Electrophonique

        The Sheffield space age, from The Human League to Pulp

        by Jamie Taylor

        The amazing story of the home studio that helped launch some of Britain's most beloved bands. The Sheffield space age began in 1961, when local mechanic Ken Patten won a tape-recording competition by recreating the sound of a rocket launch using a pencil and a bicycle pump. In the decades that followed, the makeshift home studio he constructed became the launch pad for a group of young musicians who would shape the futuristic sound of 1980s pop. The Human League, Heaven 17, Pulp, ABC and others made their early recordings with Ken, whose DIY ethic was the perfect fit for a city facing industrial decline but teeming with ideas. Studio Electrophonique tells the story of a generation seeking new frontiers in music, using everything they could lay their hands on - from science fiction novels to glam rock, Dada art and cheap electronics - to get there. Drawing on original interviews with Jarvis Cocker, Martyn Ware, Mark White and others, it brings to light a world of humour, charm, creativity and unfounded yet undaunted self-belief.

        Global Warming Trends, Second Edition

        Ecological Footprints

        by Julie Kerr, Ph.D.

        Climate scientists have repeatedly told us that the most recent decades had the warmest temperatures ever recorded since records were consistently kept in the mid-1800s. Scientists worldwide support this notion, and there is an abundance of data collected to prove its validity. Some argue that the trend has not been a steady upward climb and that it has had intermittent cooling periods. Although these intervals have occurred every few decades in some locations, the overall tendency has been a steady upward climb, coinciding with melting glaciers, rising sea levels, shifting climatic zones, and changing ecosystems worldwide. Global Warming Trends, Second Edition presents an overview of significant climatic periods of the Earth's past and introduces the concept of climate proxies, or natural indicators that can be used to infer past climate. Thoroughly updated and featuring new graphs, charts, and illustrations, this accessible, full-color eBook discusses the concept of geochronology and how scientists determine the relative ages of objects on Earth. It also examines how scientists use pollen, tree rings, plant remains, and other life forms to make inferences about past climatic conditions. Global Warming Trends, Second Edition concludes with the most current information from climate experts, exploring the futuristic role of computer modeling and how it is helping scientists discover the past in order to predict the future. Chapters include: The Science of Paleoclimatology Key Climate Intervals in the Earth's Past Geochronology and Climate Proxies Proxy Data: Geomorphic Landforms Geological and Geochemical Proxy Data Biotic Proxies Climate Change and Past Civilizations Using New Technology to Discover the Past What the Experts Say Conclusions and a Glance into the Future.

        Time and radical politics in France

        From the Dreyfus Affair to the First World War

        by Alexandra Paulin-Booth

        This book investigates how people have thought about and experienced time, and how their ideas about time have shaped their political views and actions. Using French thinkers and activists of the radical left and right between the Dreyfus Affair and the First World War as a case study, it argues that time provides an important means of exploring how concepts such as nationalism, revolution and social change were understood at the turn of the century. Attending to different experiences of time - the speed at which it was perceived to move, the extent to which the future was near and graspable, the ways in which the past was seen to impinge on the present - opens up exciting new possibilities for analysing politics, ideologies and worldviews.

        Die fünfte Dimension

        Eine Erzählung

        by Wolfgang Komm

        Wer redet? Sabetzky, der Geschichtenerzähler, der Fantast, Linkshänder mit der schönen Rasierklingennarbe, der, den die Schule zum Rechtshänder dressierte und zerbrach? Oder der Erzähler, der Maler, der schreiend seine erfolgreiche erste große Ausstellung verläßt und Sabetzky nachfährt, nach München, in die Diskothek »Fifth Dimension«, wo der Freund am Ende seines Weges als Kellner untergekommen ist? Im Zug, während der langen sonntäglichen Fahrt durch Westdeutschland, erinnert er sich an die Stationen seines Lebens. Im preußisch strengen Vaterhaus stirbt die lebendige Mutter qualvoll langsam an Krebs. Der mißratene dritte Sohn zieht aus, geht auf die Kunstakademie, bleibt auch dort Fremdling. Er arbeitet in einer Werbeagentur, wird als Wandmaler gemanagt, paßt sich an, hat Erfolg und haßt sich dafür. Er arbeitet auf eine Ausstellung hin - aus der er dann flüchtet, nach München. Dort findet er Sabetzky in seinem Zimmer, tot. Er wird Sabetzkys Job, Kellner in der Fünften Dimension, übernehmen. Aber wie der Linkshänder, die Brüder, wurde er eingespannt, zurechtgerückt, fixiert, zum Schweigen gebracht. Es gibt keinen Ausweg. Die fünfte Dimension bietet keinen.

        Renunciation and Freedom

        Survivial in the future

        by Jean-Pierre Wils

        The situation in our society is precarious. The ecological shocks are omnipresent. The mere continuation of our lifestyles fixated on expansion and self-development has long since reached its limits. As if intoxicated by ourselves, we consume our world voraciously and without restraint. We need moderation and frugality that lead us out of the ecological and social dead ends and hold both the individual and Politics to account. We are by no means powerless and are perfectly capable of leading a life that offers prospects for a humane future. However, our idea of freedom needs urgent correction. For this endeavour to succeed, we need the courage to face reality and the willingness, in a spirit of solidarity, to say goodbye to a false life and join the alliance of renunciation and freedom. Then we will be free – differently and better.

She goes against laws and conventions and discovers that primal maternal instincts know no borders. In the process, she discovers much about herself as well as about the questionable system, which invades the most intimate places, despite its noble goals.   Onyx feels that the only way for her soul to survive is by defying the establishment and following her uncontrolled urge to discover the fate of her biological children.

        Written in a straightforward tone, Argentinian journalist Barbara Anderson tells the story of her son, Lucca, and the trip his family took with him to India for a futuristic treatment for the cerebral palsy he suffered from birth. Telling the story of the trip is also telling the story of how Barbara and her husband deal with the challenges of raising a child with an irreversible diagnosis. But the trip to India was life-changing…for everyone. Lucca became one of the first children to take two 28-day treatments with Indian scientist Rajah Kumar, in 2017 and 2019. Kumar is the inventor and developer of a groundbreaking neurogenesis treatment using Cytotron, a revolutionary technology. Lucca’s story does not end at the treatment, as Barbara championed the idea of bringing Cytotron to Mexico.
