’You never knew what you were going to be confronted with when
you went on Later…’ Nick Cave ‘Later… is a voyage of
discovery for us as well as the viewers’ Dave Grohl Dave Grohl
and Alicia Keys loved it, Björk treasured it, Ed Sheeran’s life
was changed by it, Kano felt at home while Nick Cave was horrified
but inspired, and they all kept coming back. This first-hand
account of the BBC’s Later… with Jools Holland takes you behind
the scenes of one of the world’s great musical meeting places.
Legends including Sir Paul McCartney, Mary J. Blige and David Bowie
found a regular welcome, alongside the next generation of
superstars including Adele, Ed Sheeran and Amy Winehouse. Part of
what has made the show so special is the format – all those
bands, singers, stars and newbies brought together to listen as
well as to perform in Jools’ circle of dreams. But there’s
always been plenty of mayhem alongside the magic of convening a
room full of musicians hosted by one of their own. Written by the
show’s co-creator and 26-year showrunner, music journalist Mark
Cooper, this is the story of how Later… grew into a musical and
TV institution. It was Mark who had to explain to Jay-Z why he
couldn’t just do his numbers and split, who told Seasick Steve
why he had to play ‘Dog House Boogie’ on the Hootenanny and
persuaded Johnny Cash that he simply had to come in, even when The
Man in Black wasn’t feeling well. From Stormzy to Björk, from
Smokey Robinson to Norah Jones, from Britpop to trip hop, here is
the word on how Later… began, evolved and has endured,
accompanied by exclusive interviews with some of the show’s
regular stars as well as the unique pictorial record of Andre
Csillag who photographed the show for over 20 years. A must-read
for music fans everywhere, Later… with Jools Hollandpulls back
the curtain on classic performances to reveal that the show is just
as magical, if even more chaotic, than you imagined.

This book addresses the important issues of food security and
sustainability of natural resources of India in the context of the
projected climate change. Agroecosystems being the sites of intense
interaction between human beings and natural world, global climate
change is likely to affect the resource base, the crop
productivity, input use efficiency and overall the profitability of
agricultural production systems to a great extent. However, the
adverse effects of climate change can be alleviated through
mitigation and adaptation strategies which carry importance due to
the increasing population and food demand in India. Thus, this
compilation covers possible sources and sinks of greenhouse gases
in Indian context including the potentials of soil carbon
sequestration, crop pest and soil management and scientific
livestock management as mitigation and adaptation options. This
book also includes some topics on fundamentals of green house
effect and the possible mechanisms by which soil nutrient
availability alters due to CO2 fertilization. The schematic
diagrams, tables and graphs have been included to make the book
more illustrative. The likelihood of carbon credits and trading
through best management practices can help Indian farmers earning
carbon credits in future. The book is useful for researchers, farm
managers, policy makers and also students engaged in climate change
related studies.
Many countries around the world rely on the tourism industry to
support their economies, making the safety and protection of
travelers and workers in the industry of paramount importance.
However, few police departments around the world have special
divisions dedicated to the protection of tourism, tourists, and
tourist centers. Tourism-Oriented Policing and Protective Services
is a collection of innovative research on new methods and
strategies for ensuring the security and safety of tourists, while
also allowing law enforcement to take an active role in aiding the
economic development of their city. While highlighting topics
including visitor protection, cultural tourism, and security
services, this book is ideally designed for government officials,
policymakers, law enforcement, professionals within the tourism
industry, academicians, researchers, and students.
This book covers three topics that have dominated financial market
regulation and supervision debates: digital finance, sustainable
finance, and the Banking and Capital Markets Union. Within the
first part, seven chapters will tackle specific questions arising
in digital finance, including but not limited to artificial
intelligence, tokenisation, and international regulatory
cooperation in digital financial services. The second part
addresses one of humanity's most pressing issues today: the climate
crisis. The quest for sustainable finance is driven by political
actors and a common understanding that climate change is a severe
threat. As financial institutions are a cornerstone of human
interaction, they are in the regulatory spotlight. The chapters
explore sustainability in EU banking and insurance regulation, the
interrelationship between systemic risk and sustainability, and the
'greening' of EU monetary policy. The third part analyses two
projects that have led to huge structural changes in the European
financial market architecture over the last decade: the European
Banking Union and Capital Markets Union. This transformation has
raised numerous legal questions that can only gradually be answered
in all their intricacies. In four chapters, this book examines
composite procedures, property rights of depositors in banking
resolution, preemptive financing arrangements and the phenomenon of
subsidiarisation in the context of Brexit. Of interest to
academics, policymakers, practitioners, and students in the field
of EU financial regulation, banking law, securities law, and
regulatory law, this book offers a compilation of analyses on
pressing banking and capital markets law problems.
Goats have a bright future as a domestic animal because of its
continued usefulness and generation of new information to maintain
this species in a more sustainable and profitable manner. Goat
farming requires less capital to start and maintain than cattle or
buffalo farming. Goat also has a higher reproductive rate as
compared to cattle or buffaloes. Goat can sustain itself on
marginal lands where other species of livestock may not even
survive. The book has put emphasis on goat production in India but
lot of information from world over is mentioned. Goats have been a
major part of the research and development programmes aimed at
poverty alleviation via the use of small ruminants. Research is of
little use if its results are not disseminated and this book is
part of the strategy for the dissemination and promotion of the
research results to ensure that poor and under-resourced farmers
benefit. The publication is expected to provide a useful reference
source for all those who are interested in goats.
There has been a tremendous increase in the production of livestock
products and this is expected to continue in the coming future.
This is especially in developing countries. The greatest increase
is in the production of poultry and pigs, as well as eggs and milk.
Livestock production can make good use of resources, some of which
may otherwise not be used, and contributes high quality protein and
important micronutrients to the human diet.
With advancement in science and technology, there has been
significant demand for books and serials on Horticulture Science
especially molecular biology, breeding for re-salience,
bio-fortification, ideotypes for mechanization, amenability for
long term storage, novelty, uniformity, distinctiveness and
stability etc. The book contains 16 exhaustive articles contributed
by 24 experts from premier institutes from across the globe.
