Summary

"Wheat Cereal Development" explores the fascinating history and biology of wheat, tracing its evolution from a wild grass to a globally vital cereal. The book highlights wheat's domestication in the Fertile Crescent and the subsequent impact of selective breeding and genetic engineering, examining how these processes have shaped modern agriculture and food security. Readers will discover how early societies gradually transformed wild wheat into a more productive crop, and how innovations, like dwarf wheat varieties, revolutionized yields.

 
The book uniquely emphasizes the ethical considerations surrounding modern wheat breeding techniques, particularly genetic modification, encouraging a balanced discussion on risks and benefits. It adopts an accessible tone, making complex scientific concepts understandable for a broad audience interested in the life sciences and the story of food production.

 
The book progresses from the historical context of domestication to the principles of selective breeding and concludes with an analysis of modern genetic engineering, weaving in implications for sustainable agriculture.

Introduction to General...

Mark Hedges

General Relativity, proposed by Albert Einstein in 1915, revolutionized our understanding of gravity. It describes gravity not as a force in the traditional sense, as in Newtonian physics, but as a curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy. This groundbreaking theory was not only a significant departure from previous models of gravity but also the foundation for modern cosmology and astrophysics.
At the core of General Relativity is the concept that massive objects like planets, stars, and galaxies bend the fabric of spacetime around them. This curvature influences the movement of objects within it, including light, which explains phenomena such as gravitational lensing, where light bends around massive objects. The equation that governs this curvature is Einstein’s famous field equation, which mathematically relates the geometry of spacetime to the energy and momentum of whatever matter and radiation are present.
Before Einstein’s work, gravity was understood in terms of Newton’s law of universal gravitation, which described gravitational force as an instantaneous action at a distance between two masses. While this model worked well for many practical applications, it had limitations, especially in extreme conditions such as those near very massive objects or moving at high velocities. General Relativity resolved these issues by providing a more accurate description of gravitational phenomena, particularly in scenarios involving high gravitational fields, such as near black holes or in the context of cosmology.

ISO 50001 - A strategic guide to...

Alan Field

Reduce energy costs and combat climate change with ISO 50001
ISO 50001:2018, the international standard for energy management, provides a framework for organisations – both large and small – to manage and reduce their energy usage and associated costs. Implementing an effective EnMS (energy management system) that complies with ISO 50001 ensures that an organisation can:

- Meet legal and contractual energy compliance requirements;
- Save money by managing energy more efficiently;
- Reduce its carbon footprint;
- Increase energy security; and
- Demonstrate a commitment to improved energy performance.
With energy security concerns rising and climate change an existential threat, consumers are increasingly aware of sustainability issues.
ISO 50001 – A strategic guide to establishing an energy management system provides a practical but strategic overview for leadership teams of what an EnMS is and how implementing one can bring added value to an organisation. It:

- Explains how ISO 50001:2018 (which is based on ISO's Annex SL) differs from the previous version of the Standard;
- Provides readers with a greater understanding of what energy management is and how taking a risk-based approach can save money and improve brand reputation; and
- Covers how ISO 50001 can be implemented and how the EnMS can be integrated with other management systems, such as an ISO 14001 EMS (environmental management system).

First in Line - How COVID-19...

RN Sandra Lindsay, Joanne Skerrett

Sandra Lindsay immigrated to the United States from Jamaica in 1986 with ambitions of becoming a nurse and living the American Dream. In December 2020, she became the first person to receive the COVID-19 vaccine and was subsequently honored with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. 
 
 
 
In First in Line Lindsay lays out her triumphs and setbacks as a single mother and working student who overcomes barriers. Her beginnings as a four-dollar-an-hour grocery store worker fortified her with the resilience to persevere over decades to become an executive at a globally recognized nationally known healthcare system. 
 
 
 
Lindsay recounts working through the darkest months of the COVID-19 crisis in 2020. The suffering and losses she witnessed ignited Lindsay's passion for seeing an end to inequities in healthcare. 
 
 
 
First in Line tackles a variety of issues: bias and inequity in healthcare; chronic disease in marginalized communities; maternal, infant, and Black and Brown women's health; and mental health. While Lindsay continues to beat the drum for vaccination as COVID-19 continues to impact our lives, she advocates for improved, equitable healthcare for all people who live on the margins.
