Overview: When asked by the General Editor to prepare a book-length treatment concerning the nature of the Canary Islands, our aims were rather ambitious. A general monograph was to be written, embracing all the disciplines of natural history applicable to these islands, and over twenty scientists were approached for contributions. However scientists are ‘time machines‘ ; our proposed list of contents has changed a good many times. Cooporation of other authors was gained and, finally, a fairly rounded project appeared revealing different and lesser known aspects of Canary Island Nature. Since

Overview: In macrodynamics and business cycle analysis we find nowadays avariety of approaches elaborating frameworks for studying thefluctuations in economic and financial data. These approaches areviewed from Keynesian, monetarist and rational expectationsstandpoints. There are now also numerous empirical methods for thetesting of nonlinear data generating mechanisms. .This volume brings together a selection of contributions on theoriesof the business cycle and new empirical methods and synopsizes the newresults. The volume (i) gives an overview of current models and modernconcepts and tools

Overview: This book provides an update of the recent research in.fodder crops and grass breeding.This book contains the reports of lively debates and.workshops on the future of breeding, the implementation of eThis book includes papers presented at the 2015 meeting of the Fodder Crops and Amenity Grasses Section of Eucarpia. The theme of the meeting “Breeding in a world of scarcity” was elaborated in four sessions: (1) scarcity of natural resources, (2) scarcity of breeders, (3) scarcity of land and (4) scarcity of focus. Parts I to IV of this book correspond to these four sessions. Session 1

Overview: Describes how a decline in biodiversity has affected processes across soils, plants, animals.Explores such diverse topics “future-proofing” our plants, improving animal welfare.Discusses the interconn.In recent decades, practices like the cultivation of a few high-yielding crop varieties on a large scale, the application of heavy machinery and continued mechanization of agriculture, the removal of natural habitats, and the application of pesticides and synthetics have resulted in the simplification of agro-ecosystems. This has enabled a substantial increase in food production but has

Overview: As governments seek to mitigate the cost of state-subsidised healthcare, branding in the pharmaceutical industry has become a critical issue. Drugs companies must change their methods of communication and distribution - focusing more on their direct relationship with the consumer. This requires fundamental changes in consumer behaviour, access to information, freedom of choice and value for money. Brands and brand values will play a leading role in this process, as has been seen with products such as Prozac and Viagra. This book by Interbrand Newell and Sorrell, the world‘s leading b

Overview: Ausgangspunkt dieser Arbeit ist der Widerspruch zwischen der klassischen Idee ästhetischer Bildung mit ihrem Anspruch auf Selbstentfaltung und einer gesellschaftlichen Realität der Verdrängung desSelbstim theoretischen und praktischen Rationalismus. Regine Mattheis stellt die Frage, welche Bedeutung das ästhetische Verhalten im individuellen Bildungsprozeß einnimmt.

Overview: The properties of continuous variation are basic to the theory of evolution and to the practice of plant and animal improvement. Yet the genetical study of continuous variation has lagged far behind that of discontinuous variation. The reason for this situation is basically methodological. Mendel gave us not merely his principles of heredity, but also a method of experiment by which these principles could be tested over a wider range of living species, and extended into the elaborate genetical theory of today. The power of this tool is well attested by the speed with which genetics h
