Family, friendship and politics in nineteenth-century France
by Susan K. Foley
Republican passions demonstrates the crucial role of family and friendship networks in the creation of the French Third Republic. Based on the family archives of Léon Laurent-Pichat, journalist, Deputy and Life Senator, this study paints a rich picture of republican intimacy, sociability and political activity during the Second Empire and early Third Republic. It explores republican friendships and family connections as men and women worked together for the cause. In republican circles, as the book illustrates, the intimate and political realms were not separate but deeply intertwined and interdependent.

Science & MathematicsApril 2024Demand-led Plant Breeding
From Principles to Practice in Emerging Markets
by Vivienne M Anthony, Cathy Barker
This companion to "The Business of Plant Breeding: Market-led Approaches to Plant Variety Design in Africa contains experiences from postgraduate educators training the next generation of African plant breeders and professional breeders that are implementing best practices in Demand-Led Breeding (DLB) in their current crop improvement programmes. It is written by highly experienced plant breeders representing several universities, national plant breeding programmes, regional and international agricultural research institutes in Africa, together with expert breeders from Australia and developers from private seed companies. It includes specifically points of learning from real implementation situations from crop breeding programmes in NARS and IARCs in Africa, Australia and internationally. It shares experiences on improving tropical crops, strengthening understanding on how to overcome challenges in designing new crops to increase smallholder farmer adoption and advocating best practices. It also presents five case studies on tropical crops, and discusses the need for an enabling policy environment and the changes needed for Africa to achieve its ambition for food security and Africa's vision 2063.

The empire in one city?
Liverpool's inconvenient imperial past
by Sheryllynne Haggerty, Andrew Thompson, Anthony Webster, John M. MacKenzie, Nicholas J. White
From the late eighteenth century to the early twentieth century, Liverpool was frequently referred to as the 'second city of the empire'. Yet, the role of Liverpool within the British imperial system and the impact on the city of its colonial connections remain underplayed in recent writing on both Liverpool and the empire. However, 'inconvenient' this may prove, this specially-commissioned collection of essays demonstrates that the imperial dimension deserves more prevalence in both academic and popular representations of Liverpool's past. Indeed, if Liverpool does represent the 'World in One City' - the slogan for Liverpool's status as European Capital of Culture in 2008 - it could be argued that this is largely down to Merseyside's long-term interactions with the colonial world, and the legacies of that imperial history. In the context of Capital of Culture year and growing interest in the relationship between British provincial cities and the British empire, this book will find a wide audience amongst academics, students and history enthusiasts generally.

Market led Approaches to Plant Variety Design in Africa
by Gabrielle J Persley, Vivienne M Anthony, Rowland Chirwa, Agyemang Danquah, Erik Yirenky Danquah, Appolinaire Djikeng, Shimelis Hussein, Paul M. Kimani, Heather Merk, Ivan Rwomushana, Jean Claude Rubyogo, Jonathan Shoham, Pangirayi Tongoona, Nasser Yao
The Business of Plant Breeding is the result of a study on demand-led plant variety design for markets in Africa, sharing best practices from private and public sector breeding programmes worldwide that are applicable to improving tropical crops in Africa. Beginning with an overview of the principles of demand-led plant breeding, the book then discusses aspects such as understanding the demands of clients and markets in rural and urban areas, foresight in setting product profiles and breeding targets, and determining breeding strategy and stage plans. It also covers measuring success and making the business case for future investments in breeding programmes that will deliver new varieties to meet market demands. The book: - Brings together the experience of plant breeders around the world, representing universities, national plant breeding programmes, regional and international agricultural research institutes, and private seed companies, showcasing how to respond to changing market demands; - Provides educational resource materials within each chapter; - Includes templates for use as planning tools by plant breeding programs for determining priority traits that meet market demands. An important read for professionals and students of plant breeding and genetics, this book is also a useful resource for anyone interested in developing and disseminating new, market-led technologies to increase productivity and profitability in tropical agriculture. The study was sponsored by the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, the Crawford Fund and the Syngenta Foundation for Sustainable Agriculture, and managed by the University of Queensland.

December 2016Lady Susan
Ein Roman in Briefen
by Jane Austen, Angelika Beck
Die attraktive Lady Susan sorgt für Aufregung in der Gesellschaft: Frisch verwitwet, weiß sie ihre Reize nur zu gut einzusetzen und kokettiert bereits wieder mit ihren Verehrern. Gerüchte über angebliche Affären machen die Runde. Um den Gerede zu entgehen zieht sie sich auf das Anwesen ihres Bruders zurück. Dort kann sie ihren Plan in Ruhe weiterverfolgen: einen neuen wohlhabenden Ehemann zu finden. Objekt ihrer Begierde ist der adrette Reginald DeCourcy, der jüngere Bruder ihrer Schwägerin. Es werden fleißig Intrigen gesponnen, um unliebsame Konkurrentinnen aus dem Feld zu schlagen. Doch als eines Tages ihre Tochter Frederica auftaucht, geraten Lady Susans Pläne in Gefahr. Hatte sie für die Tochter doch den reichen, recht einfältigen Sir James Martin auserwählt, was der allerdings überhaupt nicht passt … Lady Susan war Jane Austens erster Roman; er wurde erst posthum veröffentlicht. Nicht minder amüsant, doch viel scharfzüngiger als in ihren großen Romanen erzählt die beliebte Autorin von amourösen und gesellschaftlichen Verwicklungen.
