        Farm Business Management

        The Core Skills

        by Peter L Nuthall, Michael L. Thompson, Patrick J. Skelly

        Based on research carried out within the farming community and academic studies, this book assesses and explains the core skills needed to become a successful farm manager. Observation, anticipation of plan outcomes, and risk management are identified as key requirements, and each of these categories is broken down into isolated skills such as problem definition and visual observation, which are in turn dissected and analysed. Practical methods for acquiring or improving each skill are covered in detail, with practice exercises to engage the reader in active participation. This book is an essential resource for farm managers and students.

        Crashes and Collapses, Revised Edition

        by Thomas L. Bohan

        Praise for the previous edition: "...[an] interesting book...an ideal primer for teachers, aspiring forensic scientists and engineers, as well as members of the general public...valuable..."—Journal of Forensic Sciences "Anyone who is interested in forensic science would find this book to be a powerful reference about the application of the field."—NSTA Recommends Engineering scientists in motor vehicle crash investigations use forensic evidence to measure and analyze the variables involved in a car crash. Crashes and Collapses, Revised Edition examines forensic cases and investigative methods from the forensic engineering sciences, which include the physical sciences as well as all of the engineering fields. The engineering sciences dominate forensic investigations of events underlying civil disputes while also playing an important role in criminal investigations, especially in those in which a crime has been disguised as an accident. Crashes and Collapses, Revised Edition provides middle and high school students with a unique look at this area of forensic science. After providing a history of forensic engineering science, this compelling eBook goes on to introduce Newton's laws of motion, which underlie accident reconstruction; the critical-speed-scuff method for determining the speed of cars; the obstacles confronting forensic investigators; and more. The eBook also provides enlightening looks at specific cases of crashes and collapses, presenting both the facts and analyses. Chapters include: History and Guiding Principles of Forensic Engineering Science Accident Reconstruction: Getting Started Accident Reconstruction: Moving into High Gear Speed from Critical-Speed Scuffs A Double Murder Poorly Disguised as an Accident? The Crash of the Merchant Vessel Tamano Subway Stop Crane Collapse Scaffold Collapse Bringing It All Together: Lessons Conveyed.

        Onions and Other Vegetable Alliums

        by James L Brewster

        This fully revised, expanded and updated edition of the successful text, Onions and Other Vegetable Alliums, relates the production and utilization of these familiar and important vegetable crops to the many aspects of plant science underpinning their production and storage technologies. Chapters cover species and crop types, plant structure, genetics and breeding, physiology of growth and development as well as pests and diseases, production agronomy, storage after harvest and the biochemistry of flavour, storage carbohydrates and colour and how this relates to nutritional and health benefits. From this wide perspective it is possible to see many examples where underlying scientific knowledge illuminates, explains and can improve agronomic practice. The reader will get an insight into how molecular methods are revolutionizing the study of taxonomy, genetics, pathology and physiology and how these methods are being applied in the breeding of improved crops.

        Corruption in contemporary politics

        A new travel guide

        by James L. Newell

        Recognising that corruption is a serious problem in the globalised world of the early twenty-first century, the book takes the reader on a journey - beginning with what corruption is, why its study is important and how it can be measured. From there it moves on to explore corruption's causes, its consequences and how it can be tackled - before discovering how these things are playing out in the established liberal democracies, in the former communist regimes and in the newly industrialised and 'developing' world. On the way it takes a couple of detours - first, to explore corruption's mechanisms and dynamics and second to survey the scandals to which it may give rise. The book is therefore offered as an informative 'travel guide' of potential interest to journalists and policy makers as well as to students and academics.
