Soil Hydrology, Land Use and Agriculture

Measurement and Modelling

by Edited by Manoj K Shukla.

Agriculture is strongly affected by changes in soil hydrology as well as by changes in land use and management practices and the complex interactions between them. This book aims to expand our knowledge and understanding of these interactions on a watershed scale, using soil hydrology models, and to address the consequences of land use and management changes on agriculture from a research perspective. Case studies illustrate the impact of land use and management practices on various soil hydrological parameters under different climates and ecosystems.

Fish Diseases and Disorders, Volume 1: Protozoan and Metazoan Infections

by Edited by Patrick T K Woo

Fish is the principal source of protein for people in many parts of the world, particularly in developing countries. While most fish are caught from nature, aquaculture or fish farming is now making a significant contribution to total fish production. More intensive conditions of aquaculture often result in a higher incidence of fish diseases and disorders. As in the first edition, the focus of this second edition is on protozoan and metazoan parasites that cause disease in fish. Significant changes to this second edition include the addition of 3 new chapters and 4 of the original chapters have new authors.

Tourism in Peripheries

by Edited by Dieter K Muller, Bruno Jannson

Using case studies from North America, Scandinavia, Scotland, New Zealand and the Polar Regions this book explores the use of tourism as a vehicle for regional development in peripheral areas. Topics covered include tourism management, rights of access, tourism destination communities, tourism impacts and regional development. The book identifies the core obstacles facing tourism in peripheral regions and highlights that tourism development in peripheries is not any easy task.

Intellectual Property Rights in Agricultural Biotechnology, 2nd Edition

by Edited by Frederic H Erbisch, Karim M Maredia

During the past twenty-five years, biotechnology has revolutionized agricultural research. The enormous potential, together with a landmark decision by the US Supreme Court to allow the patenting of genetically-engineered organisms has encouraged private sector companies to invest in agricultural biotechnology research programmes. This has contributed to a rapid growth in interest in intellectual property rights as applied to this subject.The first edition of this book was published in 1998. Now fully revised and updated it presents definitive information on intellectual property law in a simplified form (with a minimum of legal jargon). New chapters have been added which cover plant variety protection and farmers rights, and additional case studies.

Immunology of Host-Ectoparasitic Arthropod Relationships

by Edited by Stephen K Wikel

Host immune responses to ectoparasitic arthropods are critical elements in determining the nature of animal host-arthropod relationships, including transmission of vector-borne pathogens. This is the first book to provide a comprehensive analysis for both the student and specialist of the emerging field of “immunoentomology”. Our fundamental understanding of this topic has increased dramatically in recent years. Chapters prepared by specialists from the USA, UK and Australia provide comprehensive reviews of key subjects. The book concludes with a consideration of the application of fundamental knowledge about the immunology of the host-arthropod interface to the development of anti-arthropod vaccines. It is aimed particularly at medical and veterinary entomologists and acarologists, as well as immunologists.

Roman | Kommunikation, Krieg, Kokain, Krypta | Ein Buch wie ein schillernder Traum

by Tom McCarthy, Bernhard Robben

Serge Karrefax erblickt im ländlichen England kurz vor der Jahrhundertwende das Licht der Welt – und mit seinem Schicksal verwoben gleichsam das Zeitalter der Technologie und Kommunikation. Als Funker im Ersten Weltkrieg fliegt er über Frankreich, hofft im Londoner Untergrund der Swinging Twenties mithilfe technologischen Fortschritts die Toten anzufunken, und hilft schließlich im gerade unabhängig gewordenen Ägypten ein Funknetz zu errichten – bis sein Leben in einer altägyptischen Grabkammer eine unerwartete Wendung nimmt. Kommunikation, Krieg, Kokain, Krypta: K untersucht gnadenlos, unser Verlangen uns mitzuteilen, während Serge K. die Botschaft hinter allen Botschaften, das Signal hinter allen Signalen sucht. Dieses singulär originelle Buch selbst aber widersteht allen Versuchen, seinen Code zu knacken.

Temperature Adaptation in a Changing Climate

Nature at Risk

by Edited by Kenneth B Storey, Karen K Tanino.

Temperature adaptation is a much neglected field in the minds of climate change researchers and policy makers. However, increasing fluctuations in temperature mean that the risk of cold and heat stress will pose an increasing threat to both wild and cultivated plants and animals, with frost injury expected to cause devastating damage to crops on an increasingly large scale. Thus, improving shared knowledge of the biological mechanisms of temperature adaptation in plants and animals will help prevent major losses of crops and genetic resources in the future.

Below-ground Interactions in Tropical Agroecosystems

Concepts and Models with Multiple Plant Components

by Edited by Meine van Noordwijk, Georg Cadisch, Chin K Ong

This book provides a synthesis of plant-soil-plant interactions in agroforestry, intercropping and grass-legume interactions. It focuses on the process level, which is relevant to many types of multi-species agroecosystem. It also links basic research to practical applications in a wide range of systems with or without trees, and considers effects of global change on below-ground interactions. The contents include soil biodiversity and food webs, phosphorus dynamics and mobilization by plants, and crop and tree root-system dynamics. The book will be of significant interest to researchers in plant, crop and soil sciences as well as agroforestry.

Creating Experience Value in Tourism

by Edited by Nina K Prebensen, Joseph S Chen, Muzaffer Uysal.

As the field of tourism grows in maturity and scientific sophistication, it is important to fully understand the breadth and depth of vacation experience value. Current research delivers a multitude of approaches to value creation, represented here as a set of definitions, perspectives, and interpretations of how tourists, as customers, create value alone and with others. Providing an analytical and systematic clarification of the approaches, this book suggests an understanding of the differences, offering new and practical knowledge for tourism scholars and professionals to highlight the relevance of the concept to firms and organizations. Including a framework to distinguish among key resources or antecedents of customer value, this book also considers consumer behaviour and factors affecting value creation from physiological and psychological perspectives. Concluding with a summary of the areas for future research, it is a valuable resource for researchers of tourism, leisure and recreation.
