European agriculture is on the brink of a financial and ecological
crisis. The European Community, individual governments, and the
industry itself have precipitated this crisis. Controversy follows
controversy -- in the areas of pollution, use of chemicals, land
degradation, and overproduction. "The Diversion of Land" assesses
the conservation challenge at the end of a long period of
agricultural expansion. The book draws on the experience of
continental Europe and North America to contextualize a case study
analysis of the U.K. Incorporating new research and a new
methodology for the targeting of land diversion, the emphasis
throughout is on the agricultural adjustment process. This process,
the authors argue, must be informed not only by an ecological
awareness, but also by the anticipation of economic and social
change.
As with the successful first edition, the new edition of
Microbiology: A Clinical Approach is written specifically for
pre-nursing and allied health students. It is clinically-relevant
throughout and uses the theme of infection as its foundation.
Microbiology is student-friendly: its text, figures, and electronic
resources have been carefully designed to help students understand
difficult concepts and keep them interested in the material. The
Second Edition includes a robust instructor ancillary package that
allows professors to easily incorporate the book's unique approach
into their lectures. In addition to the many free resources for
students-including the E-Tutor, Bug Parade, Flashcards, and
MicroMovies-the new edition is supported by Garland Science
Learning System. The Garland Science Learning System is a homework
platform designed to evaluate and improve student performance and
allows instructors to select assignments on specific topics and
review the performance of the entire class, as well as individual
students, via the instructor dashboard. Students receive immediate
feedback on their mastery of the topics, and will be better
prepared for lectures and classroom discussions. The user-friendly
system provides a convenient way to engage students while assessing
progress. Performance data can be used to tailor classroom
discussion, activities, and lectures to address students' needs
precisely and efficiently. For more information and sample
