Governments worldwide are seeking to liberalize agricultural trade, and to change their role from one of controlling trade and prices. Instead these governments seek new roles in encouraging market developments, ensuring quality, and providing food security by giving income assistance rather than controlling food supplies. The issue of how this process is being managed in developing countries is the focus of this book. A series of case studies including India, Sri Lanka, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Kenya, and Ivory Coast highlights the individuality of approaches and the varying capability and will of governments to take on these new roles.

Synesthesia is a fascinating phenomenon which has captured the
imagination of scientists and artists alike. This inherited
condition gives rise to a kind of 'merging of the senses', and so
for those who experience it, everyday activities like reading or
listening to music trigger extraordinary impressions of colours,
tastes, smells, shapes and other sensations. Synesthesia research
also informs us about normal sensation because all people
experience cross-sensory mappings to an implicit degree.
Synesthesia has a considerably broad appeal, and in recent decades
the field has experienced a resurgence of interest. These advances
have painted a detailed story about the development, genetics,
psychology, history, aesthetics and neuroscience of synesthesia,
and provide a contemporary source of study for a new generation of
scholars. The Oxford Handbook of Synesthesia brings together this
broad body of knowledge into one definitive state-of-the-art
handbook. It includes a large number of concisely written chapters,
under broader headings, which tackle questions about the origins of
synesthesia, its neurological basis, its links with language and
numbers, attention and perception, and with 'normal' sensory and
linguistic processing. It asks questions about synesthesia's role
in language evolution, and presents both contemporary and
historical overviews of the field. It shows synaesthesia's costs
and benefits (e.g., in creativity, memory, imagery) and describes
how synaesthesia can provide inspiration for artists and designers.
The book ends with a series of perspectives on synesthesia,
including a first-hand account, and philosophical viewpoints which
show how synaesthesia poses unique questions about sensation,
consciousness and the nature of reality.
Located on the Bay of Fundy, the St. Andrews Biological Station is
Canada's oldest permanent marine research institution. A Century of
Maritime Science reviews the fisheries, environmental,
oceanographic, and aquaculture research conducted over the last
hundred years at St. Andrews from the perspective of the
participating scientists. Introductory essays by two leading
historians of science situate the work at St. Andrews within their
historical context. With topics including the contributions of
women to the early study of marine biology in Canada; the study of
scallops, Atlantic salmon, and paralytic shellfish poisoning; and
the development of underwater camera technology, A Century of
Maritime Science offers a captivating mixture of first-hand
reminiscences, scientific expertise, and historical analysis.
