Sinopsis

"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.

This pivotal book offers a comprehensive look into the role of citizen developers—business domain experts who are driving IT-enabled innovation using technology previously reserved for professional technologists. Through case studies of citizens and citizen-enabled enterprises, the authors demonstrate how emerging technology bestows unprecedented power on these individuals and unprecedented value on the organizations that channel their efforts. They outline a transformative approach to citizen development that not only enhances companies' innovative capacity via the empowerment of domain experts, but also minimizes risk and liberates IT departments to pursue more strategic initiatives.

    First published in 2012, Borders: A Very Short Introduction began with the premise that "we live in a very bordered world." The intervening decade has witnessed a flurry of events and developments that continue to highlight the centrality of borders in contemporary domestic and international affairs, as well as the interstices between the two, including sudden surges in migrant and refugees flows; renewed emphasis on traditional border security and wall construction; growing tensions concerning maritime sovereignty; rapid advances in cybersecurity, surveillance, and biometrics; expanded detention and deportation infrastructures; proliferation of transborder organizations; revived populist and nationalist sentiments; and protectionist and integrationist trade practices, to name some prominent examples from recent headlines. 
     
     
     
    This revised edition accounts for recent developments including Brexit, the 2015 migration crisis across Europe, efforts to build a border wall between the United States and Mexico, growing isolationist and nativist sentiments, demands for indigenous homelands, transnational protest movements, Russian cross-border incursions, and insurgencies and rebellions across much of North Africa and Southwest Asia.

    This book explores the concepts of our planet Earth being a conscious entity, and all of the incredible places life has been found, around, on, and inside our planet.I believe that planet Earth (also known as Gaia) is a conscious being in its own right. Many of the ancients also believed the same thing.Even metaphysical philosophies like Theosophy talk about the Gaia consciousness and that there are even higher level beings like the Solar Logos.There is an amazing amount of life on Earth—much of which has only been discovered in recent decades.For example: did you know that life penetrates the Earth’s crust down to at least seven miles beneath the Ocean’s seabed, and possibly much deeper.That life exists in Lake Vostok beneath the Antarctic Ice which hasn’t been in contact with the surface for many thousands of years?There has also been new bacteria found on the International Space Station and in meteorites which have hit the Earth.Life exists on our planet in many unusual and amazing places and you will be amazed at its diversity.
