        As Dead as a Dodo

        by Shen Fuyu

        Winner of the “China’s Most Beautiful Book Prize” in 2014. Dead As a Dodo tells the stories of 30 species which have already died out or are currently threatened with extinction.     The last dodo died in 1681 by gunshot.  Mauritius, the last passenger pigeon on earth died in 1914 in the United States in her cage at the Cincinnati Zoo. The animals described in this book are gone, we are still here. After closing the book, everyone will ask:  what kind of pain has our behavior brought to the earth? Have we overdrawn our future for the sake of temporary benefits?A lonely human being is a sad human being and every time we kill an animal, we take another step toward global loneliness.   Each story in the book is accompanied by beautiful and touching illustrations from the hands of the painter Wei Eternity.

        Field Trials in Oil Palm Breeding

        A Manual

        by Baihaqi Sitepu, Umi Setiawati, Fazrin Nur, Nur D Laksono, Yassier Anwar, Pujo Widodo, Brian P Forster, Dan Dwarko, Brian P Forster, Peter D. S. Caligari

        This is a hands-on, practical guide to describe field trials in oil palm. The location for field trials is key, as is land preparation. Other logistics include the germination of seeds from crossing programmes, planting in a nursery and well-grown seedlings for field planting. The trial design needs to be translated into field lay out. Field planting is a critical point requiring plant care, good labelling, field lining and a system of checks, and must be timed to the rainy season. Recording of trials starts 1 year after planting for crown disease assessment and continues for yield approximately 30 months after field planting. Growth measurements also begin 30 months after planting. Tests for oil yield and quality are carried out one year after yield recording.

        Fossil Fuels and Pollution, Second Edition

        The Future of Air Quality

        by Julie Kerr, Ph.D.

        Praise for the previous edition: "...valuable..."—School Library Journal Clean air is essential to life and good health. Several important pollutants are produced by fossil fuel combustion and emitted directly into the atmosphere, including carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and hydrocarbons. In addition, total suspended particulates contribute to air pollution, and nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons combine in the atmosphere to form tropospheric ozone, the major constituent of smog. With an examination of fossil fuels as energy sources and the world population's reliance on them, Fossil Fuels and Pollution, Second Edition outlines the connection between fossil fuels and global warming. Thoroughly updated and featuring new graphs, charts, and illustrations, this full-color eBook explores the properties of greenhouse gases, the nature and causes of their emissions, the largest contributors, and important health issues and considerations associated with them. The concepts of energy efficiency and fuel economy are also examined as well as agricultural greenhouse gases and pollution. Fossil Fuels and Pollution, Second Edition ends with a close look at fuel technology and the "green technology" movement that has been put into place for tomorrow's cars.  Chapters include:  Energy, Fossil Fuels, and Global Warming Greenhouse Gases, Health, and the Environment Evolution Since the Industrial Revolution Global Warming and Pollution: Buildings and Homes Global Warming and Pollution: Green Transportation Global Warming and Pollution: Cities and Industry Global Warming: Agriculture and the Impacts Today Fuel Technology Green Technology: Tomorrow's Cars Today Conclusions: the Future of Air Quality.

        New technology of ecological cultivation in rice field

        by Huang Huang, Wang Xiaoqing

        The ecological cultivation of rice fields with multiple cropping system is the improvement and development of the classical farming mode of China "rice field fish cultivation". The new technologies of rice field ecological cultivation introduced in this book include rice oil fish ecological cultivation mode, rice oil turtle ecological cultivation mode, rice loach ecological cultivation mode, rice oil crab ecological cultivation mode, rice oil frog ecological cultivation mode, rice oil shrimp ecological cultivation mode , rice eel ecological cultivation model, rice duck ecological cultivation model. On the basis of the previous large-scale business model, two patent technologies of "ladder cultivation" and "wedge cultivation" have been ingeniously added, which have successfully solved the bottleneck problems of escaping, overwintering in summer, ensuring feed, no tillage cultivation, directional fertilization and water-saving irrigation in the cultivation process, and initially formed a technical system of "narrow ridge, multiple maturity, close planting and sparse cultivation", and achieved good economic results Economic, ecological and social benefits.

        Crossing in Oil Palm

        A Manual

        by Umi Setiawati, Baihaqi Sitepu, Fazrin Nur, Brian P Forster, Sylvester Dery, Brian P Forster, Peter D. S. Caligari

        Oil palm is the world's most important oil crop and crossing is used extensively in the production of commercial seed, breeding and genetic studies. This book illustrates crossing techniques to maximise success and safeguard purity, enabling the production of high quality seeds to grow-on as planting material and in breeding superior cultivars. Presenting sound practices based on scientific innovation in plant breeding, this guide provides techniques integrated with expertise and application of sustainable aspects of agronomy and crop protection, alongside information and imaging technology. Promoting green, eco-friendly agriculture, this book covers: biology and genetics, germplasm, target traits and commercial crossing; health and safety considerations in the field and laboratory; pollen collection and storage, pollen viability testing, and pollination; isolation of the female inflorescence; and commercial tenera production. Based on experience and protocols, this is an invaluable manual for students and researchers in agriculture, plant breeders, growers and end users interested in the practicalities of oil palm crossing for breeding and commercial seed production

        Bunch and Oil Analysis of Oil Palm

        A Manual

        by Pujo Widodo, Fazrin Nur, Evi Nafisah, Brian P Forster, Hasrul Abdi Hasibuan, Brian P Forster, Peter D. S. Caligari

        This is a hands-on, practical guide to describe physical bunch and oil analysis of oil palm bunches. Bunch and oil analysis laboratories are set up at oil mills to assess production, yield potential of plantations and oil extraction rates relative to targets. The higher the oil yields the planting material produces, the less land that is needed to achieve a specific level of production, hence helping in the sustainability of the crop.

        Nursery Practices in Oil Palm

        A Manual

        by Brian P Forster, Peter D. S. Caligari, Nur D Laksono, Umi Setiawati, Fazrin Nur, Miranti Rahmaningsih, Yassier Anwar, Heru Rusfiandi, Eben Haeser Sembiring, Brian P Forster, Avasarala Sreenivasa Subbarao, Hafni Zahara

        This is a hands-on, practical guide to general and specific practices in oil palm nurseries to produce healthy, vigorous and uniform plants ready for field planting. There are two nursery stages, a pre-nursery and a main nursery. The pre-nursery receives both germinated seeds and tissue culture produced plantlets (ramets) which are planted in small pots in a relatively small area in which shade and humidity can be controlled. Once seedlings and ramets are established they are transferred to the main nursery, potted-on and grown on to produce field-ready plants.
