This benchmark text integrates the recent revolution in the molecular-developmental genetics of plants with mainstream evolutionary thought. There is increasing cooperation between strongly genomics-influenced researchers, with their strong grasp of technology - and evolutionary morphogenetists and systematists who are more deeply rooted in comparative biology and patterns of plant evolution. This book discusses our increasing understanding of gene function and expression, along with modern phylogenies integrating morphological and molecular data to highlight specific key transitions in plant evolution most worthy of intensive study. Furthermore, it explores increasing knowledge of the physical expression of plant development from disciplines such as anatomy and palaeobotany. Rather than focus on the technical aspects of plant genomics, this book provides genuinely integrated explanations of plant evolution. This leading panel of contributors have succeeded in turning a demanding subject into an accessible volume for a wide range of professional botanists and postgraduates and senior undergraduates in developmental biology, applied molecular biology, molecular evolution, morphogenesis, organismal botany and theoretical systematics.
Jewish Fantasy Worldwide: Trends in Speculative Stories from
Australia to Chile reaches beyond American fiction to reveal a
spectrum of Jewish fantasy. The essays in this collection cover
speculative works by Jewish artists and about Jewish characters
from a broad range of national contexts, including post-Holocaust
Europe, the Soviet Union, Chile, French Canada, and the Middle
East. The authors consider various media including fiction, film,
Youtube videos, and fan sites. For scholars and fans alike, this
collection of essays will provide new perspectives on Jewish
presences in speculative fiction around the world.
Populism is on the rise in Europe and the Americas. Scholars
increasingly understand populist forces in terms of their ideas or
discourse, one that envisions a cosmic struggle between the will of
the common people and a conspiring elite. In this volume, we
advance populism scholarship by proposing a causal theory and
methodological guidelines - a research program - based on this
ideational approach. This program argues that populism exists as a
set of widespread attitudes among ordinary citizens, and that these
attitudes lie dormant until activated by weak democratic governance
and policy failure. It offers methodological guidelines for
scholars seeking to measure populist ideas and test their effects.
And, to ground the program empirically, it tests this theory at
multiple levels of analysis using original data on populist
discourse across European and US party systems; case studies of
populist forces in Europe, Latin America, and the US; survey data
from Europe and Latin America; and experiments in Chile, the US,
and the UK. The result is a truly systematic, comparative approach
that helps answer questions about the causes and effects of
populism.

This book explores academic learning theories in relation to modern
cognitive research. It suggests that developing a feelings and
emotion-based learning theory could improve our understanding of
human learning behavior. Jennifer A. Hawkins argues that feelings
are rational in individuals' own terms and should be
considered-whether or not we agree with them. She examines
learners' experiences and posits that feelings and emotions are
logical to individuals according to their current beliefs,
memories, and knowledge. This volume provides rich case studies and
empirical data, and shows that acknowledging feelings during and
after learning experiences helps to solve cognitive difficulties
and aids motivation and self-reflection. It also demonstrates
various ways to record and analyze feelings to provide useful
research evidence.
In the era of the appeasement of the dictators, Samuel Untermyer
stands out as a champion of the human rights of not just German
Jewry, but of other persecuted communities in Germany such as trade
unionists, Roman Catholics and Freemasons. This is the first full
biography of Untermyer, a prominent Wall Street lawyer who founded
the principles on which Jewish democratic politics still stands
today. The first to oppose Hitler, he organised the anti-Nazi
league in the early 1930s, and proposed a unique global
socialist/capitalist worldview which still informs American
politics today.
The Hawaiian pineapple industry emerged in the late nineteenth
century as part of an attempt to diversify the Hawaiian economy
from dependence on sugar cane as its only staple industry. Here,
economic historian Richard A. Hawkins presents a definitive history
of an industry from its modest beginnings to its emergence as a
major contributor to the American industrial narrative. He traces
the rise and fall of the corporate giants who dominated the global
canning world for much of the twentieth century. Drawing from a
host of familiar economic models and an unparalleled body of
research, Hawkins analyses the entrepreneurial development and
twentieth-century migration of the pineapple canning industry in
Hawaii. The result is not only a comprehensive history, but also a
unique story of American innovation and ingenuity amid the rising
tides of globalization.

The Retailer's Play-book on How to Beat Walmart - This book
discusses how big-box retailers such as Walmart have made great
improvements in managing their inventory, literally forcing their
suppliers to conform to item-level inventory control, which is the
main reason for their overwhelming success, and why small to
medium-size retailers continue to follow the wrong path. Any
retailer who reads this book should come away with an understanding
of the importance of item-level inventory control, and how to adopt
a plan to migrate to it as quickly as possible; because in times
like these, where tremendous economic changes threaten all of us,
if a change in methods is not made quickly, we will see more and
more retailers closing up shop and heading to the bankruptcy
courts. Yes, Walmart can be beaten! We just need to learn how to
beat them at their own game.
