Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 2011The Food Companions
Cinema and consumption in wartime Britain, 1939–45
by Richard Farmer, Jeffrey Richards
The introduction of rationing in January 1940 ensured that food became a central concern for the British people during the Second World War. The food companions investigates the cinema of this period and demonstrates the cultural impact that rationing and food control had on both government propaganda and commercial feature films. Combining archival research, detailed film analysis, and the extensive use of contemporary documents and resources, this book is the first to fully address the extensive propaganda work of the Ministry of Food both inside and outside the cinema. It also explores the tensions contained in images of communal dining, investigating the role that food played in Gainsborough's narratives of excess and identifying and analysing a cycle of black-market feature films. Lively and illuminating, The food companions will be welcomed by film scholars, historians, students, and anyone who has ever wondered about the important contribution that tea made during the war to shaping ideas of Britishness. ;

Tuning Alice《给爱丽丝调音》
by Goh Joy Xine, Farmer (Tan Chao Ling)
Whales love singing. They sing at different frequencies. There was this whale that sings at an unusually higher frequency, and cannot be heard by other whales. She has been described as the “world’s loneliest whale”. She is known as the 52-hertz whale. She is Alice. “Why can’t any other whales hear me sing?” This was Alice’s biggest challenge. Until the day she met Grandpa Ted and Arien, that told her they can help tune her to sing like other whales. Should she trust them and do it? She wasn’t sure. No harm trying, she thought. Only then will she be more certain of what matters most. Is it okay to be different? Or should we try our best to be like everyone else? Let's see, as we journey together with Alice.

Technology, Engineering & AgricultureNovember 2023Farmer Innovations and Best Practices by Shifting Cultivators in Asia-Pacific
by Malcolm Cairns
This book, the third of a series, shows how shifting cultivators, from the Himalayan foothills to the Pacific Islands, have devised ways to improve their farming systems. Using case studies collected over many years, it considers the importance of swidden agriculture to food security and livelihoods, and its environmental significance, across multiple cultures, forest and cropping systems. There is a particular focus on soil fertility and climate change challenges. It is a 'must read' for those who realize that if the lives of shifting cultivators are to be improved, then far more attention needs to be directed to the indigenous and often ingenious innovations that shifting cultivators have themselves been able to develop. Many of these innovations and best practices will have strong potential for extrapolation to shifting cultivators elsewhere and to farming systems in general. This book: - Highlights innovations of shifting cultivators. - Combines solid science with accessible language and outstanding artwork. - Provides a collection of case studies unprecedented in its scope. This book will be suitable for students and researchers of agriculture, anthropology, sociology, agricultural economics, human ecology, ethnobotany, forestry, agroforestry, agronomy, soil science, farming systems, geography, environmental science and natural resource management.

Technology, Engineering & AgricultureNovember 2019Organic Food Systems
Meeting the Needs of Southern Africa
by Raymond Auerbach
Organic agriculture world-wide allows farmers to produce healthy food with low levels of external inputs, and often shortens the value chains, giving farmers a higher share of the consumer dollar. This book reports on long-term comparative organic farming systems research trials carried out over the last four years in South Africa's Southern Cape, as well as research on the organic sector and the technical tools it requires in South Africa, Zambia, Uganda and Tanzania. The trials show how the yield gap between organic and conventional crops was closed over 3 years. Water use efficiency was also greater in the organic farming system, and pests and diseases were effectively controlled using biological products. Farmer training approaches, soil carbon analysis, participatory guarantee systems, the Zambian organic farming sector (agronomy) and Ugandan organic farmer training support, and a sector plan for southern African organic farming are examined.

December 2003Marx' Gespenster
Der verschuldete Staat, die Trauerarbeit und die neue Internationale
by Jacques Derrida, Susanne Lüdemann
Jacques Derridas Auseinandersetzung mit der Theorie von Marx und ihrem Erbe gehört zu den meistdiskutierten philosophischen Texten der Gegenwart. Hier geht es um nichts Geringeres als um das Erbe des Marxismus, um Marx' Testament, um seine Vergangenheit und seine Gegenwart. Marx' Gespenster eröffnet eine neue Perspektive auf die Philosophie von Marx. »Ein Gespenst geht um in Europa«, so könnte man beginnen und zugleich seine gespenstische Gegenwart konstatieren. »Es gilt, auf magische Weise ein Gespenst auszutreiben, die mögliche Rückkehr einer Macht zu bannen, die für böse an sich gehalten wird und deren dämonische Drohung fortfährt, das Jahrhundert heimzusuchen.«

December 2014Public Enemy
by Wang Fangchen
The novel depicts the fate of a Chinese village and individual villagers in the great historical transformation, and creates the vivid image of a morally self-examining and self-reflective persona in the character of Farmer Han Dianyi. Using “benevolence and justice” as the effective weapon, Han Dianyi successfully establishes HanTong Group and leads a corrupt and degenerate life afterwards. The suicide of his former lover in despair awakens him and he retires to a seclusive life in a graveyard. His successor Tong Heizi continues his way of practice and Hantong Group still dominates the village. His elder brother Tong Chengzhi resigns from his official post and returns to the village. This causes great uneasiness to Tong Heizi, who sets off on the road of no-return on a snowy night. Han Dianyi, full of remorse, tells people the secret why he has painfully guarded the graveyard for more than ten years. Tong Chengzhi takes over Hantong Group while Han Dianyi holds the ashes of his former lover and enters the tomb he has dug for himself. The whole novel, set in a heavy and gloomy atmosphere, features sharp and poignant language.

Forestry & silviculture: practice & techniquesMarch 2002Trees on the Farm
Assessing the Adoption Potential of Agroforestry Practices in Africa
by Edited by Steven Franzel, Sara J Scherr
Most published books on agroforestry have focused on biophysical aspects. There has been a lack of scientifically rigorous information about the socioeconomic features of agroforestry, and the adoption of agroforestry practices by farmers.This book fills that gap by assessing the adoption of selected agroforestry practices developed with African farmers, describing methods, and drawing out the implications for research, development, and policy. The volume includes five case studies of research conducted in Kenya and Zambia to evaluate the adoption potential of agroforestry. The cases illustrate methods of farm and village technology design, testing, and analysis that are applicable to a wide range of natural resource management practices.Along with the case studies, the contents also include chapters on: methods for assessing agroforestry adoption potential, promoting new agroforestry technologies: policy lessons from on-farm research, and assessing adoption potential: lessons learned and future directions.
