To meet growing demand, the FAO has estimated that world poultry
production needs to grow by 2-3% per year to 2030. Much of the
increase in output already achieved has been as a result of
improvements in commercial breeds combined with rearing in more
intensive production systems. However, more intensive systems have
increased the risk of transmission of animal diseases and zoonoses.
Consumer expectations of sensory and nutritional quality have also
never been higher. At the same time consumers are more concerned
about the environmental impact of poultry production as well as
animal welfare. Drawing on an international range of expertise,
this book reviews research on poultry health and welfare. Part 1
begins by reviewing the range of diseases and other health issues
affecting poultry. It then goes on to discuss ways of preventing
and managing disease such as breeding, and means of attenuating the
immune system. The second part of the book discusses welfare issues
such as management of breeding flocks, housing, transport and
humane slaughter techniques. Achieving sustainable production of
poultry meat Volume 3: Health and welfare will be a standard
reference for poultry and food scientists in universities,
government and other research centres and companies involved in
poultry production. It is accompanied by two further volumes which
review safety, quality and sustainability as well as poultry
breeding and nutrition.

This book is a must-have for anyone interested in obesity or the
physiology of white or brown adipose tissues. It contains
state-of-the-art methods from researchers that are world leaders in
this field. Detailed lab protocols range from methods to visualize
adipocytes and adipose tissues in humans and experimental models,
to convert stem cells into white and brown adipocytes in vitro, to
evaluate aspects of adipocyte metabolism, to inducibly knock out
genes in adipose tissues, and to evaluate transcriptional control
of adipogenesis on a global scale.
1) The study of adipose tissue goes hand in hand with our global
effort to understand and reverse the epidemic of obesity and
associated medical complications.
2) Contributors include leading researchers who have made
tremendous contributions to our ability to investigate white and
brown adipose tissues.
3) The wide variety of experimental approaches detailed within
this volume: including the evaluation of adipose tissue biology at
the molecular, biochemical, cellular, tissue, and organismal
levels.

This volume includes studies of organizations that deliver
professional services, including accounting, law, and management
consulting firms. These organizations are of importance for several
reasons: they underpin the modern economy, enabling economic
exchange; they constitute the 'intellect industry', developing and
disseminating new ideas; and, they are exemplars of
knowledge-intensive organizations. Contributors include researchers
from North America and Europe. This book series is available
electronically online.
Charles C. McDougal lived in Asia for twenty years, including ten
years in the Philippines from 1972 to 1982.
His impeccable research stems from an academic background whose
credentials include a bachelor of science degree from the
University of Georgia, a master's degree from the Asian Institute
of Management, and a doctorate in business from the University of
the Philippines.
The data he gathered for his doctoral dissertation was the
genesis of his 1987 book "The Marcos File," which exposed the
Marcos regime for its corruption and excesses.
It was while working on a book about Marcos' hidden wealth that
he stumbled on the story of a treasure hunt headed by Marcos.
His close friendship with the national security director
provided him access to the corridors of power. He was asked to find
out the truth, both about the legendary treasure and the Marcos
gold. His academic credentials, plus his military background-- he
was a captain in the Green Berets in Vietnam-- made him a natural
choice. He returned to the Philippones. A cave-in killed two of his
men and overnight this top-secret operation made the front page of
almost every major newspaper in the world.

Murder at the International Poultry Exposition in Atlanta?
Professor Nick (Chick) Fowler, is pressured by his friend Gordie to
help develop a new product for animal health, a herbal product from
China called Qingdao Gold. But Gordie is shot to death on the first
day of the convention. What was the man hiding that made him a
target for murder? As a severe storm is dumping a record-breaking

The first major exploration of the North American continent began
in Florida in April 1528. Panfilo de Narvaez led an inland
expedition with 300 men. Only four survived. The courageous quartet
endured an astonishing eight-year odyssey, traversing more than
3,500 miles from Florida to the shores of the Pacific Ocean. One of
the survivors, Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca wrote his book, the
Relacion, in 1542, detailing their amazing journey. Yet, precisely
where this expedition began has long been debated by researchers
and historians. In this book, author James E. MacDougald provides
an analysis of published research and a new investigation, finally
establishing that one of America's most important historic events
began in present-day St. Petersburg, on the shores of Boca Ciega
Bay. Based on MacDougald's years of study, he adds a new and
independent analysis, using research resources not available to
many previous historians that details one of the most important
Spanish expeditions in North America.

This body is more than words on a page that one could call a book
of poetry. It is about my life and my faith. It is about friends I
have found and our life's journey. It is the love of all that makes
us human. It is a way of living that spoke to my soul when I was in
danger of losing my soul. In this book I share with those who read
some of the things that brought me to the Savior and a better way
of life. I am now happier with who I am. Within these pages are
examples of how I learned to stand firm in the conviction of one
greater than I. I got to know a being who I could have a personal
relationship. In learning about him I learned who and what I was to
be. I want you to see in this book what I have seen. Faith
The Life and Times of Mac Monroe speaks of three Macs. Dougald
McDougald Monroe, the first "Mac," lived May 31, 1890 - November 5,
1974. Mac, Jr., the story teller, was born November 19, 1920. Mac
III was born October 20, l955. By observing and examining the times
covered by these three lives, this book poses, in many meaningful
ways, the questions of what do educators do in a rapidly changing
world where there are endless possibilities. Realizing we are all
educators, Mac hopes to give the reader a new vision of the
possibilities of life, which, if it's promise is realized, will be
mind-boggling. Insightful stories spanning the Depression, a world
war, three continents, the Civil Rights era and the Baby Boomer
generation, Mac, Jr.s' experiences in higher education give great
insight and historical perspective to the present struggles of Gens
X, Y and Z and how we should live in this ever-changing world. A
remarkable journey that will stimulate your thinking about life.
