by Edited by Wendy Mercedes Rauw

This book describes resource allocation patterns in natural populations, the costs, preferences and trade-offs of maintenance, growth, reproduction and immune function, the consequences of selection for high production efficiency in livestock species, methods that can be used to quantify resource allocation patterns, and the application of resource allocation theory to improve animal production and wellbeing.

July 2022(Not So) Amazing Grace
by Mercedes Helnwein, Moon Notes, Rita Gravert
In "(Not So) Amazing Grace" von Mercedes Helnwein steckt Grace Welles im Sumpf Floridas in einem Internat fest und schwört sich, durch strenge, selbst auferlegte Einsamkeit zu überleben. Ihre abweisende Haltung funktioniert hervorragend, um potenzielle Freunde fernzuhalten, bis sie unerwartet einen neuen Schüler rettet und ihre Welt der Einsamkeit ins Wanken gerät. Der Neue, Wade Scholfield, entpuppt sich als jemand, der Grace zeigt, dass Schulregeln gebrochen werden können und dass tiefgründige Gespräche zu unerwarteten emotionalen Verbindungen führen. Zusammen mit Wade beginnt Grace zu entdecken, dass das Leben mehr zu bieten hat als ihre bisherige Isolation. Während Grace durch Wade lernt, sich dem Leben und anderen Menschen zu öffnen, steht sie gleichzeitig vor der Frage, was sie bereit ist, für ihre neu entdeckten Gefühle und Träume zu opfern. Die Geschichte entwickelt sich zu einer Erkundung von Freundschaft, Liebe und Selbstfindung gegen den Hintergrund des harten Alltags im Internat. Doch trotz der positiven Entwicklungen kommt es zu einem unerwarteten Wendepunkt, als Grace Wades Herz bricht, was die Leser*innen dazu bringt, über die Komplexität von Beziehungen und die Herausforderungen des Erwachsenwerdens nachzudenken. Helnweins Erzählung ist eine eindringliche Darstellung der Höhen und Tiefen jugendlicher Emotionen und der Suche nach Identität in einer oft unverständlichen Welt. Entdecke die tiefe und komplexe Welt von Grace Welles, einer jungen Frau, die lernt, ihre selbst auferlegte Einsamkeit zu überwinden. Faszinierende Kulisse eines Internats in den Sümpfen Floridas, wo die Regeln nicht immer das sind, was sie zu sein scheinen. Unkonventionelle Liebesgeschichte, die zeigt, wie tiefgründige Gespräche und gemeinsame Entdeckungen zu unerwarteten emotionalen Verbindungen führen können. Folge Grace auf ihrem Weg der Selbstfindung und des Erwachsenwerdens, während sie lernt, was es wirklich bedeutet, sich anderen zu öffnen und für ihre Träume zu kämpfen. Eine Geschichte über Freundschaft, erste Liebe und die schmerzhaften Lektionen, die das Leben zu bieten hat, perfekt für Fans von Rainbow Rowell und jugendlichen Romanen mit Tiefgang. Begleite Grace und Wade auf einer emotionalen Achterbahnfahrt, die dich zum Lachen, Weinen und Nachdenken bringen wird. "(Not So) Amazing Grace" von Mercedes Helnwein ist ein mitreißendes Debüt, das die Herausforderungen und Freuden des Heranwachsens mit einer außergewöhnlichen Hauptfigur erforscht.

BiotechnologyDecember 2003Intellectual Property Rights in Agricultural Biotechnology, 2nd Edition
by Edited by Frederic H Erbisch, Karim M Maredia

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.

EconomicsSeptember 1997Common Agricultural Policy, 2nd Edition
by Edited by Christopher Ritson, David R Harvey
The first edition of this book, published in 1991 with the title The Common Agricultural Policy and the World Economy, was well received as a timely analysis of this fast-moving but important subject. However, several major developments, such as general CAP reform, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), expansion of the European Union, and relationships with eastern Europe, have justified the need for a new edition. As a result, the book has been thoroughly updated, with some completely new chapters added and others replaced. It has also be rewritten with a greater emphasis on the needs of students for a well-integrated, comprehensive textbook.

Non-graphic art formsMay 2012The 'do-it-yourself' artwork
Participation from Fluxus to New Media
by Edited by Anna Dezeuze
Viewers of contemporary art are often invited to involve themselves actively in artworks, by entering installations, touching objects, performing instructions or clicking on interactive websites. Why have artists sought to engage spectators in these new forms of participation? In what ways does active participation affect the viewer's experience and the status of the artwork? Spanning a range of practices including kinetic art, happenings, environments, performance, installations, relational and new media art from the 1950s to the present, this critical anthology sheds light on the history and specificity of artworks that only come to life when you - the viewer - are invited to 'do it yourself.' Rather than a specialist topic in the history of twentieth- and twenty-first century art, the 'do-it-yourself' artwork raises broader issues concerning the role of the viewer in art, the status of the artwork and the socio-political relations between art and its contexts.
