Guy Robinson and Doris Carson have assembled a wonderfully
comprehensive and timely book that both reveals and joins together
the many and varied elements of diverse contemporary agriculture
and food production systems. The book stands as a valuable scan of
the diverse forces and processes of change in agriculture and also
makes visible, through its various and well-chosen case analyses,
the abiding and sometimes colliding roles of structure , agency,
power and place in shaping farm and food futures.' - John Smithers,
University of Guelph, Canada'An excellent, timely and innovative
contribution to the wide-ranging debates on the globalisation of
agriculture. The book brings together a wide array of authors who
approach agricultural globalisation issues from various angles
spanning both the social and natural sciences, including key
contributions on agriculture/environment issues, food security
challenges, policy regimes, transnational corporations, and
challenges of an increasingly globalised agriculture.' - Geoff A.
Wilson, Plymouth University, UK Agriculture is becoming
increasingly influenced by globalisation. The result is a more
interconnected world where new forms of trade and cultural exchange
can thrive on an international level. This novel Handbook provides
insights to the ways in which globalization is affecting the whole
agri-food system, from farms to the consumer. The expert
contributors cover themes including the physical basis of
agriculture, the influence of trade policies, the nature of
globalised agriculture, and resistance to globalisation in the form
of attempts to foster sustainability and multifunctional
agricultural systems. They present a state-of-the-art summary of
current debates and provide a starting point for subsequent
research into solutions aimed at addressing food insecurity, global
hunger and uneven development. Drawing upon studies from around the
world, the Handbook will appeal to a broad and varied readership,
across academics, students, and policy-makers interested in
economics, trade, geography, sociology and political science.

The classification of radioactive waste varies from state to state.
This results in different management procedures for each country,
while following IAEA and OECD/NEA recommendations. Radioactive
waste comes from numerous sources. The largest volumes are
generated by the decommissioning and dismantling of nuclear
facilities. Long-lived, medium- and high-activity waste -
categorized as the most hazardous types of waste - are in fact
largely produced by nuclear power reactors, spent fuel reprocessing
plants and nuclear accidents. Final disposal of very low-activity,
low-activity and very short-lived waste is well controlled.
However, final solutions for certain categories, including
long-lived waste, sorted waste and spent graphite waste, are not
yet in place. Management of Radioactive Waste reviews all the
possible solutions and presents those chosen by the various states,
including a chapter detailing policy on radioactive waste
management, taking France as an example.

The King Ranch Story is the love story of an ambitious young man
and his dream of creating a great empire on Texas land. It's about
the love between a man and woman, Captain Richard King and his wife
Henrietta Chamberlain, the driving force behind King's success.
It's a story of passion and power and success on a scale never seen
before on this continent. King began his great enterprise with
15,500 acres of arid land called Rincon de Santa Gertrudis,
purchased for $300 in 1853. From there it has grown to become an
international legend. It was here that the great Santa Gertrudis
cattle, and the indispensable western quarter horse were developed.
The book also includes terrifying stories of ancient ghosts and
hauntings that still imbue many of the secret places on the ranch
with a sense of mystery and fear.
