Agriculture & related industriesNovember 2007Non Chemical Weed Management
Principles, Concepts and Technology
by Mahesh K Upadhyaya, Robert E Blackshaw
Following several decades of popularity after the Second World War, the use of synthetic herbicides is now experiencing a backlash within the agriculture industry.The increase in organic farming and concerns about potential negative effects on human health and the environment is creating a demand for pesticide-free food and alternative weed management techniques. International research has now explored the potential, limitations and impacts of non-chemical alternatives and the effect of different strategies on the entire agro- or natural ecosystem. Through the re-evaluation of techniques previously considered uneconomical or impractical, this text provides a comprehensive examination of non-chemical weed management.

Technology, Engineering & AgricultureNovember 2018Controlled Atmosphere Storage of Fruit and Vegetables
by A. Keith Thompson, Robert K. Prange, Roger Bancroft, Tongchai Puttongsiri
The third edition of this successful title presents current research and commercial uses of controlled atmosphere storage and modified atmosphere packaging of fresh fruit and vegetables to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date overview. New and developed technologies for the transportation and storage of horticultural products are essential to ensure that produce reaches consumers in the best possible condition, and have the potential to reduce the postharvest use of chemicals, reduce losses and maintain nutritional quality and organoleptic characteristics. Covering the increasingly used science and technology of preserving the freshness of fruit and vegetables in all aspects of their postharvest life, this book puts the subject in the context of its history and current practices, in addition to future prospects. The new edition: - Explores the large volume of research that is continuously being published on the topic. - Reviews and evaluates the adaptation and improvement of commercial technologies. - Considers the effects of techniques and technologies on flavour, quality and physiology, in addition to the damage inflicted by pests, diseases and disorders. - Contains 5 new chapters covering genetics and CA storage, dynamic CA storage, hyperbaric storage, hypobaric storage and fruit ripening. Fully revised and presented in full colour throughout, this book is a readily accessible resource for researchers, scientists, growers, students and industry personnel.

The ArtsDecember 2007J. M. W. Turner
The making of a modern artist
by Sam Smiles, Alan Rutter
Alone of his contemporaries, J.M.W. Turner is commonly held to have prefigured modern painting, as signalled in the existence of The Turner Prize for contemporary art. Our celebration of his achievement is very different to what Victorian critics made of his art. This book shows how Turner was reinvented to become the artist we recognise today. On Turner's death in 1851 he was already known as an adventurous, even baffling, painter. But when the Court of Chancery decreed that the contents of his studio should be given to the nation, another side of his art was revealed that effected a wholescale change in his reputation. This book acts as a guide to the reactions of art writers and curators from the 1850s to the 1960s as they attempted to come to terms with his work. It documents how Turner was interpreted and how his work was displayed in Britain, in Europe and in North America, concentrating on the ways in which his artistic identity was manipulated by art writers, by curators at the Tate and by designers of exhibitions for the British Council and other bodies. ;

Biografie | Ein Leben aus der Perspektive seiner Bilder | Mit zahlreichen farbigen Abbildungen
by Boris Brauchitsch
Von seinen Zeitgenossen entweder gefeiert oder für verrückt erklärt, gilt William Turner heute längst als der bedeutendste Künstler Großbritanniens. Kein anderer Maler des 19. Jahrhunderts hat die weitere Entwicklung der Kunst stärker geprägt als er – ob Impressionismus, Abstraktion oder Futurismus, Turner hat vieles vorweggenommen, was erst Jahrzehnte nach seinem Tod Furore machen sollte. William Turner (1775-1851), Sohn eines Barbiers, verfolgte seinen Traum von Anerkennung und Wohlstand erfolgreich mit den Mitteln der Kunst. Wohl keiner reiste und zeichnete so viel wie er, bediente einerseits gekonnt den Kunstmarkt und schuf zugleich Werke, von denen der Autor und Sammler William Beckford sagte, Turner »malt, als ob sein Hirn und seine Fantasie auf der Palette mit Seifenlauge und Schaum vermischt wären.« Zu seinem 250. Geburtstag folgt Boris von Brauchitsch dem exzentrischen Maler in dieser atmosphärisch dichten Biografie vor gesellschaftspolitisch geweitetem Horizont auf seinen abenteuerlichen Reisen durch Europa, beobachtet ihn bei seinem Wettstreit mit den Großen der Kunstgeschichte, begleitet ihn beim Kampf für die Ebenbürtigkeit der Landschaftsmalerei und geht so manchem Geheimnis nach, das ihn umgibt.

Edited by Aditya Pratap, Jitendra Kumar.
Food legumes are important constituents of human and animal nutrition, supplying high quality proteins crucial for a balanced diet. These crops also play an important role in low-input agricultural production systems by fixing atmospheric nitrogen. Despite systematic and continuous breeding efforts by legume researchers all over the world, substantial genetic gains have not been achieved. These issues require immediate attention, and overall, a paradigm shift is needed in breeding strategies to strengthen our traditional crop improvement programs. To this end, Biology and Breeding of Food Legumes provides extensive information on their history, origin, evolution and botany, as well as breeding objectives and procedures, nutritional improvement, industrial uses, post-harvest technology and recent developments made through biotechnological intervention.
