        Termites

        Biology and Pest Management

        by M J Pearce

        Termites are of great interest to both entomologists and those concerned with pest management. On the one hand their complex social systems and nest building make them fascinating for students of insect behaviour, while on the other they are major pests of crops and buildings in the tropics and subtropics. This book provides a general scientific introduction to the termites, including their biology, behaviour, pest status and control. Commonly used ecological and laboratory techniques are described in appendices. There has been no such general book published for many years and so this title will fill a definite gap in the market. It is aimed at advanced students of entomology and pest management, as well as professionals concerned with urban and agricultural pest control.

        The Broken Ones

        by Natércia Pontes

        A powerful and harsh novel about a family, a messy apartment and the painful discoveries of adolescence. Many things were missing in apartment n. 402, but there was plenty of many others: paper boxes, boards of isopor, knick knacks, cockroaches, termites, dust, dirty glasses. Abigail, Berta and Lúcio are a non conventional triplet: two teenagers that share the apartment with their father, a loving man and a compulsive hoarder. While he hopes for death to arrive soon, he likes giving peculiar advice to his daughters: “Being hungry is cool”.This novel tells a tragic and touching coming-of-age story, though able to make you laugh. Natércia Pontes draws a fascinating picture of three people trying to live with their dreams and fantasies, their fears and manias, in the middle of the piles of waste that inhabit their house.

        Adventures in Eating

        Anthropological Experiences in Dining from Around the World

        by Helen R Haines

        Anthropologists training to do fieldwork in far-off, unfamiliar places prepare for significant challenges with regard to language, customs, and other cultural differences. However, like other travellers to unknown places, they are often unprepared to deal with the most basic and necessary requirement: food.Although there are many books on the anthropology of food, this book is the first intended to prepare students for the uncomfortable dining situations they may encounter over the course of their careers.Whether sago grubs, jungle rats, termites, or the pungent durian fruit are on the table, participating in the act of sharing food can establish relationships vital to anthropologists' research practices and knowledge of their host cultures.Using their own experiences with unfamiliar -- and sometimes unappealing -- food practices and customs, the contributors explore such eating moments and how these moments can produce new understandings of culture and the meaning of food beyond the immediate experience of eating it. They also address how personal eating experiences and culinary dilemmas can shape the data and methodologies of the discipline.

        Current status and future needs

        by Dr VS Sharma and Dr Kumudini Gunasekare

        Tea is the most widely-consumed beverage in the world. Like other crops, tea cultivation faces a number of challenges. With the challenge of climate change and the competition for scarce resources, there is a need to make tea cultivation more efficient and sustainable. Cultivation needs also to be more resilient to biotic and abiotic stresses, whether it be pests or more extreme weather (e.g. drought) associated with global warming.Fortunately, there is a range of research addressing these challenges. Drawing on an international range of expertise, this collection summarises this research by focusing on ways of improving the cultivation of tea at each step in the value chain, from breeding through to harvest. Part 1 reviews advances in breeding. Part 2 discusses improvements in cultivation techniques. The book then discusses plant protection and chemistry before concluding with sustainability issues.As the need for more interdisciplinary and collaborative research increases, this collection will be a standard reference for the tea research community by summarising key research trends in each topic and putting them in the context of tea cultivation as a whole.

        Garena Was Born On Thursday

        by Shupiwe Suffolk

        A nameless character, a middle aged lady, a farmer, has climbed up to the top of a hill and is now looking down onto a village; a small area that captures her life, her family and everything she has done in her life. As she imagines everything she has done in the village down below, the life she has lead in this small village and the family she has created. This is part one of this story.   In part two we are introduced to Garena, who works as a cleaner. Every Thursday she stays on after her job is finished to smoke and talk to her employer. Through these discussions the reader learns about Garena’s life.   Garena’s house burnt down last year and so she made a new house; a house under her father’s house. She is proud that she could build a new house quickly and proud that her and her son Nathan can live under her father’s house. She wants to save up and build a new house. Garena is proud of her son Nathan; he her only child and she his only parent. They are friends, bound by the struggle they share in living their day to day lives. They both aspire for more, they both want the best for Nathan.   It is revealed that Garena’s mother was murdered just before Nathan was born. The killer was never found and this murder prompted Garena’s father to move out of the village and to the city. Garena followed shortly after and started working. Only recently she started working for her Thursday employer and only recently did their conversations begin.   Garena’s Thursday employer is not from the same country, she is an expatriate. She is interested in Garena’s life and interested in the story behind her cleaner. She used this to accept more of the people she meets and goes for dinner with some people she has never met before. This contrast proves to her that she will always remain an outsider amongst this foreign place and these foreign people.   In the final part of the story, the story is told through Nathan’s voice. He is a boy with a desire for change, a drive to provide a better life for himself and his mother. But this task seems impossible to reach, and so he can only imagine it from the top of a tree that he has climbed.   The story closes with a return to the hill in the opening of the novel. The lady on top of the hill is becoming more and more desperate for clarity, more of an understanding of her life and her village. The story ends with her moving towards the edge of a rock.
