This collection features six peer-reviewed reviews on the economics
of key agricultural practices. The first chapter assesses the
economic impact of horticultural crops and integrated pest
management programmes. The chapter highlights the importance of
considering agricultural system design and the utilisation of novel
control tactics. The second chapter considers the economic
consequences of novel integrated weed management (IWM) strategies,
as well as the different approaches used to assess the economics of
IWM strategies. The third chapter reviews developments in methods
to assess the economic value of agricultural biodiversity. The
chapter also outlines the limitations of these methods and proposes
a possible, novel way forward. The fourth chapter provides an
overview of the economic barriers faced by smallholder farmers,
including land, labour, capital and inputs, and their impact on
farm profitability. The fifth chapter reviews the economics of soil
health, focussing on the adoption of soil health management
practices by farmers and the effectiveness of incentives. The final
chapter examines the use of economic research as a tool to
determine the profitability and adoption potential for a number of
precision agriculture technologies.
This concise and carefully developed text offers a reader friendly
guide to the basics of time-resolved spectroscopy with an emphasis
on experimental implementation. The authors carefully explain and
relate for the reader how measurements are connected to the core
physical principles. They use the time-dependent wave packet as a
building block for understanding quantum dynamics, progressively
advancing to more complex topics. The topics are discussed in
paired sections, one discussing the theory and the next presenting
the related experimental methods. A wide range of readers including
students and newcomers to the field will gain a clear and practical
understanding of how to measure aspects of molecular dynamics such
as wave packet motion, intramolecular vibrational relaxation, and
electron-electron coupling, and how to describe such measurements
mathematically.
COLE TURNER has studied conspiracy theories all his life, but he
isn't prepared for what happens when he discovers that all of them
are true: the JFK Assassination, Flat Earth Theory, Bigfoot,
Mothman, and so much worse. One organization has been covering them
up for generations, controlling the narrative for what they claim
is the greater good. Â What is the deep, dark secret behind
the Department of Truth—and will learning it destroy Cole’s
life from the inside out? Â The first three arcs of the
critically acclaimed series by Eisner Award-winning writer JAMES
TYNION IV (Something is Killing the Children, The Nice House on the
Lake) and ART MARTIN SIMMONDS (Dying is Easy) are collected here

This book, together with its companion volume Theory of Engine
Manifold Design - Wave Action Methods for IC Engines aims to report
upon the significant developments that have occurred over the last
twenty years and show how mature the calculation of one-dimensional
flow has become. In particular the volumes show how many of the
limitations of the Method of Characteristics can be removed by the
application of finite volume techniques, resulting in more accurate
simulations and giving the further benefit of more rapid and more
robust calculations. TOPICS COVERED:* Summary of equations for
compressible flow in pipes and at the boundaries* Measuring the
characteristics of valves and turbochargers* Design of engine gas
flow systems* Case studies of flow in engines* Noise generation in
engines, and silencing techniques* Future developments. Design
Techniques for Engine Manifolds is aimed at practising engineers
and students, who wish to get a good understanding of how wave
action in the inlet and exhaust manifolds of reciprocating engines
affects the performance of the engine. A variety of numerical
techniques are presented in some depth, yet the material is
considered from an engineering perspective and the use of
specialised mathematical notation has been kept to a minimum.

This field guide is an abridged edition of the very successful
Birds of Kenya and Northern Tanzania written by the same authors.
It covers all 1089 bird species known from the region, including
vagrants. This book combines the format and detailed treatment of
the larger version with the convenience of a field guide. All the
species are illustrated with full details of all the plumages and
major races likely to be encountered. Concise text describes
identification, status, range, habits and voice with range maps for
nearly every species. This authoritative book will not only be an
indispensable guide to the visiting birder, but also a vital tool
for those engaged in work to conserve and study the avifauna of
these countries.
In 1877, the American Humane Society was formed as the national
organization for animal and child protection. Thirty years later,
there were 354 anticruelty organizations chartered in the United
States, nearly 200 of which were similarly invested in the welfare
of both humans and animals. In The Rights of the Defenseless, Susan
J. Pearson seeks to understand the institutional, cultural, legal,
and political significance of the perceived bond between these two
kinds of helpless creatures, and the attempts made to protect them.
Unlike many of today's humane organizations, those Pearson follows
were delegated police powers to make arrests and bring cases of
cruelty to animals and children before local magistrates. Those
whom they prosecuted were subject to fines, jail time, and the
removal of either animal or child from their possession. Pearson
explores the limits of and motivation behind this power and argues
that while these reformers claimed nothing more than sympathy with
the helpless and a desire to protect their rights, they turned
"cruelty" into a social problem, stretched government resources,
and expanded the state through private associations. The first book
to explore these dual organizations and their storied history, The
Rights of the Defenseless will appeal broadly to reform-minded
historians and social theorists alike.

First among the ancient classics, the "I Ching" or "Book of
Changes" is one of the world's most influential books, comparable
to the Bible, the Koran, and the Upanishads.
The I Ching's purpose is universal: to provide good counsel to its
users in making decisions during times of change. Since its origins
about 3,000 years ago, it has become a compendium of wisdom used by
people of many cultures and eras.
This groundbreaking new translation by Dr. Margaret Pearson is
based on the text created during the first centuries of the Zhou
Dynasty, study of documents showing how it was used in the dynasty,
and on current archaeological research findings. Her translation
removes centuries of encrusted inaccuracies to better reveal the "I
Ching"'s core truths for today's readers.
Whether you are interested in trying this millennia-tested method
of making wise choices or in understanding the world view of the
early Chinese, this edition is essential reading.
The third and final book in the New York Times-bestselling Remnant Chronicles.
Lia has survived Venda--but so has a great evil bent on the destruction of Morrighan. And only Lia can stop it.
With war on the horizon, Lia has no choice but to assume her role as First Daughter, as soldier--as leader. While she struggles to reach Morrighan and warn them, she finds herself at cross-purposes with Rafe and suspicious of Kaden, who has hunted her down.
In this heart-stopping conclusion to the Remnant Chronicles trilogy that started with The Kiss of Deception and The Heart of Betrayal, traitors must be rooted out, sacrifices must be made, and impossible odds must be overcome as the future of every kingdom hangs in the balance. New York Times-bestselling author Mary E. Pearson's combination of intrigue, suspense, romance, and action makes this a riveting YA page-turner for teens.
The life-threatening risks that fire service personnel face are
taxing both physically and mentally. Firefighters and emergency
medical personnel have a higher rate of heart disease, lung
disease, cancer, substance abuse problems, and injuries than the
general population. Studies show that high levels of cardiovascualr
conditioning, muscular strength, endurance, and flexibility allow
firefighters to perform their jobs safely and more effectively.
Now, fire and rescue workers can turn to Comprehensive Wellness for
Firefighters for all the information they need to evaluate and
improve their personal lifestyles. This uniquely accessible book
focuses on self-assessment methods and action planning procedures
that emphasize personal responsibility for good health and enable
readers to apply the information to their own lives. In addition to
the personal health evaluations, sample workout routines, and
instructive exercise programs, the authors integrate materials
essential for total health including information on diet and
nutrition, drug and alcohol issues, and critical incident stress
management techniques. By using this book, readers will be able to
effectively:
-Evaluate their current level of physical fitness in order to
monitor their future progress
-Select exercise options that best meet their preferences, needs,
and objectives
-Develop strategies and personal action plans that promote and
improve total health and fitness
-Adopt a long-term commitment to a physically and mentally healthy
lifestyle
Designed as a valuable resource and practical guide,
Comprehensive Wellness for Firefighters not only attempts to
minimize risk in an inherently hazardous line of work, but also
promotes behavior and attitudes that contribute to long-term health
and well-being.
Hardbound. Telematics in Education provides readers with an
exciting examination of the use of computer based communication
technologies within education. Discussion ranges from whether new
forms of teaching and learning involving telematics can replace
existing methods, to how far collaborative learning can take place
through telematics.The authors consider the possible implications
for psychological and organisational issues in education and how an
increased use of telematics could radically alter the relationship
between education and society.
Blazars, the most extreme active galactic nuclei with powerful
relativistic jets extending out to kiloparsecs from their central
engine, are among the most intriguing and consistently bright
objects in the observable Universe. Understanding how they form and
shine has been a cumbersome endeavor since their discovery in the
1960s, with several fundamental questions remaining open to this
day. The 2020s mark the beginning of a new era of large-scale
surveys, multimessenger astrophysics, high-energy polarization, and
extreme angular resolution, setting the ideal stage to study
astrophysical jets. IAU Symposium 375 was the first IAU symposium
to take place in Nepal. It brought together experts from all
aspects of the blazar community to facilitate the building of new
collaborative efforts to take advantage of the wealth of incoming
data that will help provide answers to long-standing questions. It
also supported local efforts to promote astrophysics and
astrophysical research in Nepal.
