Genetically Modified Crops - A Practical Guide

Balachandra Mehrotra

Sinopse

"Genetically Modified Crops: A Practical Guide" addresses the rapid technological advancements in agriculture, focusing on genetically modified organisms (GMOs). We explore the complex issues of intellectual property rights, consumer preferences, and the broader social movements surrounding local foods, organic agriculture, and fair trade. Agriculture's linkage to energy policy through biofuel production is also examined.Genetic transformation, where genes are transferred between organisms to enhance agronomic traits, is a key technology. However, concerns about GM crops' ecological impact persist. Public education on the importance of GM crops for food and nutritional security is essential.Our book covers new technologies in genetic transformation, various types of GM crops, and their associated risks, benefits, and concerns. We detail the role of GM crops in economic and social contexts, including gene transfer methods, the beneficial effects of these transfers, and agronomic improvements over wild plants.This book is a valuable resource for agricultural and horticultural scientists, experts, policymakers, and NGOs. It provides comprehensive insights into GM crops and their potential to improve agriculture and farmers' lives.

Pregnant While Black - Advancing...

MD Monique Rainford

A tragedy is unfolding all around us and is receiving well overdue attention. Black women are three times more likely to die from pregnancy than their white peers. But Dr. Monique Rainford is working to better understand these disparities and do something about them. 
 
 
 
Pregnant While Black is a hopeful exploration of the issues pregnant Black women face in America. In this book, Dr. Rainford draws on over twenty years of experience working in obstetrics and gynecology to offer a primer on Black pregnancies and how to better care for them. She shares the successes and testimonies of Black women who have struggled during pregnancy and childbirth, anchoring the stories of these women with carefully researched facts. Despite medical advances over the last twenty years, for Black women, the overwhelming dangers of carrying and delivering children remain and it only seems to be getting worse. 
 
 
 
In Pregnant While Black, Rainford begins the work of "repairing the damage of the past" with an examination of the conditions that plague Black pregnancies. This important book carries the hopes and dreams of a generation looking to effect change, here and now.

The Day the Universe Goes...

kizer2m

What happens when the universe runs out of light? 
Not tomorrow. Not in a billion years. But eventually — according to modern cosmology and the laws of thermodynamics — every star will die. The galaxies will go dark. Black holes will evaporate. Even matter itself may decay into radiation, leaving behind an empty universe drifting toward eternal silence. 
In this deep, atmospheric journey through the far future of the cosmos, we explore the complete timeline of the universe — from the Cosmic Dark Ages after the Big Bang, through the age of stars and galaxies, all the way to the final Heat Death of reality itself. 
This audiobook covers: 
* The birth of the first stars after the Big Bang 
* The Cosmic Microwave Background 
* The Stelliferous Era and the slow death of star formation 
* Red dwarfs and the last surviving stars 
* White dwarfs, black dwarfs, and proton decay 
* The Milky Way–Andromeda collision 
* Black holes and Hawking radiation 
* The Black Hole Era 
* Heat Death and maximum entropy 
* Boltzmann brains and quantum fluctuations 
* The ultimate fate of time, matter, and consciousness 
Inspired by real cosmology, astrophysics, thermodynamics, and the latest observations from the James Webb Space Telescope, this is a slow, immersive exploration of the deepest future science can currently imagine. 
The universe will go dark one day.
