        Potatoes Postharvest

        by R T Pringle, C F H Bishop, R C Clayton

        A wider understanding of potato postharvest practices is needed to improve working relations between growers, agronomists, pathologists and crop store managers. Providing a comprehensive examination of international potato production, this book identifies which storage systems suit particular climatic zones as well as considering interactions between crop microclimate, dehydration, crop cooling, condensation and disease development. Potatoes Postharvest will guide the reader through the activities following harvest from store loading, store management, and grading to packaging and dispatch.

        Cucurbits

        by R W Robinson, D Decker-Walters

        Cucurbits include cucumbers, gourds, muskmelons, pumpkins, squashes and watermelons. As such they represent one of the largest and most important groups of horticultural food plants, and are grown throughout the world. In common with other books in this series, the aim of this book is to present the scientific principles that relate to the biology and production of these crops, in a way that is accessible to a non-specialist audience. The first chapter describes the distribution, taxonomy, morphology and anatomy of cucurbits, before discussing their growth and development. The next two chapters cover evolution, uses, chemical composition, genetics and breeding. There is then a discussion of the main crops, including their botany, origin, uses, cultivars, breeding and culture. The book covers production in both greenhouses and in the open field, and in developing as well as industrialised countries. Overall, the book provides a comprehensive but succinct review, suitable for students of horticulture as well as scientifically-inclined growers.

        Adapting Frankenstein

        The monster's eternal lives in popular culture

        by Dennis R. Cutchins, Dennis R. Perry

        Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is one of the most popular novels in western literature. It has been adapted and re-assembled in countless forms, from Hammer Horror films to young-adult books and bandes dessinées. Beginning with the idea of the 'Frankenstein Complex', this edited collection provides a series of creative readings that explore the elaborate intertextual networks that make up the novel's remarkable afterlife. It broadens the scope of research on Frankenstein while deepening our understanding of a text that, 200 years after its original publication, continues to intrigue and terrify us in new and unexpected ways.

        A history of English spelling

        by D. G. Scragg

        This book provides an outline history of English spelling from the Anglo-Saxon' adoption of the Roman alphabet to the present day. It shows the respective influences on modern usage of native French and Latin orthographies and attempts a definition of the manner in which spelling stabilised. A final chapter traces changing notions of correctness in spelling during the last four centuries, and also gives a summary of the principle movements for its reform in favour of a more consistent and phonetic system of notion. Students in higher education specialising in English or linguistics and also those studying other languages at an advanced level should find this a useful book. The general reader with an interest in the history of his language or the question of spelling will find it most readable ;

        Geist, Sprache und Gesellschaft

        Philosophie der wirklichen Welt

        by John R. Searle, Harvey P. Gavagai, John R. Searle

        John R. Searle gehört zu den wirkmächtigsten Philosophen der Gegenwart. Er hat bahnbrechende Untersuchungen über Sprechakte veröffentlicht, eine eigene Konzeption von Intentionalität vorgelegt und das Funktionieren gesellschaftlicher Realität erklärt. Er hat die Diskussion um künstliche Intelligenz mit seinem Bild des »chinesischen Zimmers« bereichert und damit allen Vergleichen des menschlichen Geistes mit dem Computer ein vieldiskutiertes Argument beschert. Hier zieht Searle die Summe aus diesen Themen. Durch die leichtverständliche Darstellung und Searles Fähigkeit, komplexe Probleme in wenigen Sätzen zu skizzieren und zu lösen, eignet sich das Buch nicht nur als Einführung in Searles Denken, sondern auch als Einführung in die Gegenwartsphilosophie überhaupt.

        Infectious and Parasitic Diseases of Livestock (2 volume set)

        by P Lefèvre, J Blancou, R Chermette, G Uilenberg

        Translated from the French original published by Lavoisier In this new English language edition all the chapters have been updated with new references and additional chapters written by authors in the UK, USA, Australia and Canada. In recent years infectious livestock diseases have swept across many countries, often with dramatic consequences for animal and public health. With climatic changes modifying the distribution of vector-borne diseases, emerging novel pathogens can spread rapidly in new areas, at the same time as resistance spreads in places where they are established. This calls for new approaches for the control of parasitic diseases. This book presents in detail over 130 viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic diseases of large livestock species from all over the world, accompanied by very valuable and informative illustrations and photographs. Particular attention is also paid to the role of wildlife in their epidemiology, stressing the potential zoonotic characteristics of diseases where applicable and their effects on humans. As this a two volume set - higher delivery charges apply: UK: £8.00 Europe: €9.50 ROW - $15.00
