A Roadmap for Plant Genome Editing

A Roadmap for Plant Genome Editing by Agnès Ricroch, Dennis Eriksson, Dragana Miladinović, Jeremy Sweet, Katrijn Van Laere, Ewa Woźniak-Gientka
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 (2024 Edition) | 546 Pages | ISBN : 3031461495 | 34.1 MB

This book is an update of genome editing techniques applied to a range of plants. We discuss the latest techniques and applications to cereals, roots and tubers, oilseed crops, fruit and forest trees, vegetables, legumes and algae including resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, improved quality, drug production, yield and adaptation to climate change. The regulations in different countries worldwide, the patentibility and the perception by society of the applications of new genomic techniques are examined. This book is written by a multidisciplinary and multisectoral collective of high-profile scientists and other experts belonging to the COST Action network PlantEd, which is mainly European but with contributions from American, Australian, Canadian, Chinese, Indian, Iranian, Pakistani and Peruvian scientists. The book is aimed at a wide audience consisting of students, academics, private and public breeders, other actors in the food and bioeconomy value chains and policy and law makers.

Spatial Observation of Giant Panda Habitat: Techniques and Methods

Spatial Observation of Giant Panda Habitat: Techniques and Methods by Xinyuan Wang , Jing Zhen , Qingkai Meng
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 391 Pages | ISBN : 9811987939 | 166.7 MB

This book evaluates the past, present, and future habitat suitability of giant pandas based on spatial observation technology involving optical remote sensing, microwave remote sensing, and LiDAR to discover the mysterious ecological environment of giant panda habitat. Considering the problems faced by the world natural heritage site protection, it takes the world natural heritage site “Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries – Wolong, Mt Siguniang and Jiajin Mountains” as the research area, exemplifies systematically the various techniques and methodologies of spatial information technology for monitoring, evaluation, and prediction of rare and endangered species habitats, and provides scientific suggestions for sustainable development of giant panda habitat based on a series of comprehensive case analysis at Wolong national nature reserve and Ya'an prefecture, Sichuan province, China. The book serves both as a textbook in the field of natural heritage protection, remote sensing, and GIS application, as well as a reference for managing natural heritage sites.

Post-Apocalyptic Environmentalism: The Green Movement in Times of Catastrophe

Post-Apocalyptic Environmentalism: The Green Movement in Times of Catastrophe by Carl Cassegård, Håkan Thörn
English | PDF,EPUB | 2022 | 144 Pages | ISBN : 3031132025 | 3 MB

This book analyses how the environmental movement has developed three overarching narratives that co-exist and compete within it. The first is the narrative of green progress, which has been prominent from the start in environmentalist thought and which is today expressed in the idea of sustainable development and in eco-modernism. The second is the apocalyptic narrative, which urges us to act in order to avert a future catastrophe and which rose to prominence with Rachel Carson and other classics of post-war environmentalism and experienced a renaissance with the climate activism of the 2000s. The third is the postapocalyptic narrative according to which catastrophe is already an unavoidable fact. The centrepiece of the book is its discussion of the postapocalyptic narrative, which has become influential in the recent decade, especially in the wake of the disillusionment following the failed climate summit in Copenhagen 2009.

Water, Climate Change, and Sustainability

Water, Climate Change, and Sustainability by Vishnu Prasad Pandey, Sangam Shrestha, David Wiberg
English | PDF | 2021 | 261 Pages | ISBN : 1119564441 | 9.8 MB

An in-depth review of sustainable concepts in water resources management under climate change
Climate change continues to intensify existing pressures in water resources management, such as rapid population growth, land use changes, pollution, damming of rivers, and many others. Securing a reliable water supply—critical for achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—requires understanding of the relation between finite water resources, climate variability/change, and various elements of sustainability. Water, Climate Change, and Sustainability is a timely and in-depth examination of the concept of sustainability as it relates to water resources management in the context of climate change risks.

The Antarctic Politics of Brazil: Where the Tropic meets the Pole by Ignacio Javier Cardone
English | EPUB | 2022 | 271 Pages | ISBN : 3030801608 | 4.8 MB

This book focuses on the connection between Brazil and Antarctica, two regions that can be seen as distant and contrasting, but are physically, culturally and politically associated. Relying on archival material and previous literature, the book offers a thorough account of Brazil’s involvement with one of the most significant regions in the global environment. The author explores the place of Antarctica in geopolitical works and in the first initiatives involving Brazil and the continent, from the rise of geopolitical thought in Brazil in the 1930s up to the present day. He argues that the connection between Brazil and Antarctica is not without its difficulties, but it has been structured in many enduring ways. The book covers causes for the delay and eventual adoption of a now active foreign policy regarding the region, the policy’s early performance in Antarctica, its evolution as a consequence of domestic and international changes, the increasing interest in the environment, and further recent developments.

Crises and Disruptions in International Business: How Multinational Enterprises Respond to Crises

Crises and Disruptions in International Business: How Multinational Enterprises Respond to Crises by Murad A. Mithani
English | PDF,EPUB | 2022 | 483 Pages | ISBN : 3030803821 | 8.9 MB

Crises and disruptions can lead to important changes in economic, social and institutional environments. This collection of influential JIBS articles and original commentaries highlights that MNEs are affected by, and respond to, crises and disruptions differently than domestic firms due to their geographically dispersed operations and wider range of experiences from being active in diverse environments. MNEs can exhibit greater flexibility to ‘avoid’ locations characterised by crises and disruptions, and when affected, they can deploy a more refined set of responses relative to domestic firms.
