        Julien Duvivier

        by Series edited by Robert Ingram, Ben McCann

        This book is the first ever English-language study of Julien Duvivier (1896-1967), once considered one of the world's great film filmmakers. It provides new contextual and analytical readings of his films that identify his key themes and techniques, trace patterns of continuity and change, and explore critical assessments of his work over time. His career began in the silent era and ended as the French New Wave was winding down. In between, Duvivier made over sixty films in a long and at times difficult career. He was adept at literary adaptation, biblical epic, and film noir, and this groundbreaking volume illustrates in great detail Duvivier's eclecticism, technical efficiency and visual fluency in works such as Panique (1946) and Voici le temps des assassins (1956). It will particularly appeal to scholars and students of French cinema looking for examples of a director who could straddle the realms of the popular and the auteur.

        The Coconut

        Botany, Production and Uses

        by Stephen W Adkins, Julianne Biddle, Amirhossein Bazrafshan, Sundaravelpandian Kalaipandian

        The coconut palm (Cocos nucifera L.) is one of the world's most important palms, and contributes significantly to the income and livelihood of many people in tropical countries. Widely referred to as the 'tree of life', coconut has been used as a source of food, drink, oil, medicine, shelter and wood for around 500 years. Every part of the coconut palm can be utilized. The demand for coconut fruit and its products has increased recently as people have become aware of its nutritional and health benefits, especially those of coconut water and virgin coconut oil. This book covers all aspects of coconut including origins and diversity; ecophysiology; production in a changing climate; pests and diseases; harvest and postharvest management; breeding and genetics; as well as the current and future status of coconut as an economic crop. This book is a key resource for researchers and students in horticulture, plant science and agriculture, and those interested in the production of tropical crops, and practitioners in the coconut industry.

        Nursery Practices in Oil Palm

        A Manual

        by Brian P Forster, Peter D. S. Caligari, Nur D Laksono, Umi Setiawati, Fazrin Nur, Miranti Rahmaningsih, Yassier Anwar, Heru Rusfiandi, Eben Haeser Sembiring, Brian P Forster, Avasarala Sreenivasa Subbarao, Hafni Zahara

        This is a hands-on, practical guide to general and specific practices in oil palm nurseries to produce healthy, vigorous and uniform plants ready for field planting. There are two nursery stages, a pre-nursery and a main nursery. The pre-nursery receives both germinated seeds and tissue culture produced plantlets (ramets) which are planted in small pots in a relatively small area in which shade and humidity can be controlled. Once seedlings and ramets are established they are transferred to the main nursery, potted-on and grown on to produce field-ready plants.

        Field Trials in Oil Palm Breeding

        A Manual

        by Baihaqi Sitepu, Umi Setiawati, Fazrin Nur, Nur D Laksono, Yassier Anwar, Pujo Widodo, Brian P Forster, Dan Dwarko, Brian P Forster, Peter D. S. Caligari

        This is a hands-on, practical guide to describe field trials in oil palm. The location for field trials is key, as is land preparation. Other logistics include the germination of seeds from crossing programmes, planting in a nursery and well-grown seedlings for field planting. The trial design needs to be translated into field lay out. Field planting is a critical point requiring plant care, good labelling, field lining and a system of checks, and must be timed to the rainy season. Recording of trials starts 1 year after planting for crown disease assessment and continues for yield approximately 30 months after field planting. Growth measurements also begin 30 months after planting. Tests for oil yield and quality are carried out one year after yield recording.

        Freiheit und historisches Schicksal

        Heidelberger Max-Weber-Vorlesungen 1981

        by Reinhard Bendix

        Zentrales Thema der Untersuchungen von Reinhard Bendix sind das Phänomen der Herrschaft und das Problem der Legitimation. In den Heidelberger Max Weber-Vorlesungen 1981 hat Bendix die theoretische Perspektive seiner Arbeit dargestellt und einen Überblick über das von ihm behandelte Datenmaterial gegeben. Die erste Vorlesung diskutiert die unterschiedlichen Perspektiven rationalistischer und historischer Prägung, die sich in vergleichenden Studien der sogenannten Modernisierung niedergeschlagen haben. Die zweite befaßt sich mit dem geistigen Hintergrund des Gesamtwerks von Max Weber und insbesondere denjenigen Tendenzen seines Werks, die die vergleichenden Studien von Reinhard Bendix beeinflußt haben. Die dritte Vorlesung, »Umkäpfte Staaten«, arbeitet die Bedeutung der verschiedenen Abstraktionsebenen heraus, die in vergleichenden historischen Studien benutzt werden. Hauptthemen der weiteren Vorlesungen sind: der Wandel der Manager-Ideologien in der anglo-amerikanischen und der russischen Zivilisation in den letzten zwei Jahrhunderten; die These, daß revolutionäre Krisen eine typische Begleiterscheinung der Anfangsphase der Industrialisierung sind und die Staatsbürgerschaft der unteren Bevölkerungsschichten in der Vergangenheit wie in der Gegenwart ein politisches Hauptproblem der sogenannten Entwicklungsländer darstellt; die Konvergenz von relativer Rückständigkeit und geistiger Mobilisierung, in der Bendix eine Hauptursache für die weltweite Verbreitung und die Dauerhaftigkeit des Nationalismus sieht.

        Bunch and Oil Analysis of Oil Palm

        A Manual

        by Pujo Widodo, Fazrin Nur, Evi Nafisah, Brian P Forster, Hasrul Abdi Hasibuan, Brian P Forster, Peter D. S. Caligari

        This is a hands-on, practical guide to describe physical bunch and oil analysis of oil palm bunches. Bunch and oil analysis laboratories are set up at oil mills to assess production, yield potential of plantations and oil extraction rates relative to targets. The higher the oil yields the planting material produces, the less land that is needed to achieve a specific level of production, hence helping in the sustainability of the crop.
