The European or Mediterranean cultivated olive (Olea europaea L., subsp. europaea, var. europaea) is one of the most ancient cultivated fruit tree crops. Today, hundreds of olive varieties are grown to produce high-quality fruit for oil and for table olives consumption. The olive industry has undergone profound innovations in the past 30 years, due to scientific and technical advances, particularly in genomics, breeding, orchard management, mechanization and agro-ecology, although not all these developments are yet available to smaller producers. Olive cultivation has also spread to many countries outside the Mediterranean Basin, where it ihas been traditionally present for over 6,000 years. These new olive-growing countries are experiencing further expansion of the industry, due to increased awareness of the nutritional and health properties of extra virgin olive oil. This book is a much-needed update on olive biology and cultivation, with contributions from leading international experts, and includes: Biology Genetics and breeding Olive propagation and nursery Planting new olive orchards Horticultural management of olive orchards Plant protection Olive by-products (wood, leaves) Multifunctionality of olive groves and ecosystem services The Olive: Botany and Production is invaluable for researchers and students in horticulture and agriculture, as well as producers involved in olive orchard management.

Potentially threatened regions need to be prepared to prevent new pests from becoming established. Therefore, information on pest identity, host range, geographical distribution, biology, tools for detection and identification are all essential to researchers and regulatory personnel. This book focuses on the most recent invasive pests of agricultural crops in temperate subtropical and tropical areas and on potential invaders, discussing their spread, biology and control.

Dietetics & nutritionMay 2006Olive Oil and Health
by Edited by Jose L Quiles, Carmen Ramirez-Tortosa, Parveen Yaqoob
Nutritional aspects of dietary fats, in general, and of olive oil in particular, are of great interest in many nutrition-related pathologies in which they are implicated. Olive oil plays an important role in the reduction of blood cholesterol levels, hence reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke. It is a good source of antioxidants in the form of polyphenols and vitamin E and there is also emerging evidence that olive oil has a role in reducing the incidence of certain types of cancer. This book discusses and summarizes current research and knowledge on olive oil.

Tourism industryAugust 2013International Volunteer Tourism
Integrating Travellers and Communities
by Stephen Wearing, Nancy Gard McGehee
Volunteer tourism has increased in popularity and prevalence and is no longer considered only a small section of alternative tourism. It is now part of the mainstream tourism industry and tourism experience for many people. Concentrating on the experience of the volunteer tourist and the host community, this new book builds on the view of volunteer tourism as a positive and sustainable form of tourism to examine a broader spectrum of behaviours and experiences and consider critically where the volunteer tourist experience both compliments and collides with host communities, using multiple case studies.

The ArtsJanuary 2019Carol Reed
by Peter William Evans
Carol Reed is one of the truly outstanding directors of British cinema, and one whose work is long overdue for reconsideration. This major study ranges over Reed's entire career, combining observation of general trends and patterns with detailed analysis of twenty films, both acknowledged masterpieces and lesser-known works. Evans avoids a simplistic auteurist approach, placing the films in their autobiographical, socio-political and cultural contexts and relating these to the analysis of Reed's art. The critical approach combines psychoanalysis, gender theory, and the analysis of form. Archival research is also relied on to clarify Reed's relations with his creative team, financial backers and others. Films examined include Bank Holiday, A Girl Must Live, Odd Man Out, The Fallen Idol, The Third Man, Night Train to Munich, The Way Ahead, Outcast of the Islands, Trapeze and Oliver!.

Sport & leisure industriesFebruary 2008Journeys of Discovery in Volunteer Tourism
International Case Study Perspectives
by Kevin D Lyons, Stephen Wearing
The fast-growing phenomenon of volunteer tourism encompasses a diverse range of activities, from conserving environments to working with host communities to alleviate poverty. However, understanding the complex relationship between volunteering and tourism requires a wide analytical framework. This book provides a broad and valuable insight into how volunteer tourism is growing and developing. Theoretical and empirical case studies from leading researchers in the field explore the experiences of the volunteer tourist and the power relationships between volunteers and host communities and commercial, non-commercial and government entities involved in developing and supporting volunteer tourism. The ambiguous and contested intersections between volunteering, travel and alternative tourism as a foundation for considering the future of volunteer tourism are also examined.

Demonstrations & protest movementsJuly 2014Worker protests in post-communist Romania and Ukraine
Striking with tied hands
by Mihai Varga
Worker protests in post-communist Romania and Ukraine is a book about strategies of trade unions confronting employers in difficult conditions. The book's main idea is to study why and how successful forms of workers' interest representation could emerge in a hostile context. The post-communist context makes it difficult for workers and trade unions to mobilise, pose threats to employers, and break out of their political isolation, but even under such harsh conditions strategy matters for defending workers' rights and living standards. The cases studied in this book are 18 conflict episodes at 10 privatised plants in the Romanian steel industry and Ukraine's civil machine-building sector in the 2000s. This book should be relevant for anyone taking interest in how and to what extent workers can reassert their influence over the conditions of production in regions and economic sectors characterised by disinvestment (of which outsourcing and 'lean' methods of production are instances).

Und täglich grüßt die Liebesgier. Ein Episodenroman | Search, Swipe, Date, Repeat: Oliver Polak sucht die große Liebe
by Oliver Polak
Was es heißt, jenen einzigen Menschen zu finden, der die große Liebe bedeutet: Nichts Geringeres beschreibt Oliver Polak in seinem neuen Buch L’amour numérique. Oder, um es mit der Band Toto zu sagen: Hold the line. Love isn’t always on time. In verschiedenen Episoden erzählt er von den erhebenden und ernüchternden Herausforderungen der modernen Liebe. Search, Swipe and Date – so beginnen immer wieder die Abenteuer vor der Kulisse des romantischsten aller Orte, dem Pariser Café. Und die so arrangierten Begegnungen enden mal im Fauxpax, dann wieder entwaffnend menschlich. L’amour numérique ist wahrheitsgetreu erfunden und zugleich erfahrungsgesättigt. Ein tiefer Seelenstriptease des inneren Ichs, denn am Ende begegnet der Protagonist nur einer Person: sich selbst. Trifft er die Frauen, um sie zu lieben, oder trifft er sie nur, um sich selbst nicht zu lieben? Ein Buch über Sehnsucht, Verlangen und Zärtlichkeit in einer ungewissen Welt. Leonard Cohen, Batman, Oliver Polak: die großen Liebhaber mit durstigen Herzen.
