This timely Handbook synthesizes and analyzes key issues and
concerns relating to the impact of agriculture on both farmers and
non-farmers. With a unique focus on humans rather than animals or
the environment, the book is interdisciplinary and international in
scope, with contributions from sociologists, economists,
anthropologists and geographers providing case studies and examples
from all six populated continents. Looking at the pervasive impact
of agriculture, the Handbook explores all aspects of the production
of food and fiber within the agrifood value chain, including:
farmers and laborers growing crops and raising livestock,
businesses supplying inputs for these operations, and processors
transforming plants and animals into intermediate and finished
food, beverage and clothing products. Separated into four parts, it
analyzes how the agrifood industry affects farmer well-being; the
application of science and technology within an agricultural
context; the ways in which agriculture affects the well-being of
smallholder farmers, especially in developing countries; and
agriculture's impact more broadly on society. This will be a
beneficial read for economics and sociology students, particularly
those looking at the impacts of agriculture. Accessible and clear,
the Handbook will also be helpful for policymakers and agricultural
NGOs wanting a more in-depth understanding of the impact of
agriculture on human life.

A special harback editon limited to one hundred copies,
Interviews-Artists brings together artists active in the fields of
painting, drawing, photography, print and sculpture. Recorded
conversations explore work in progress and the development of their
practice. Patterns of personal experience link with a broader
continuum of progressive ideas and show how their imaginative
interventions bear on the world. The collection of interviews with
artists developed in three phases; first researched from 1988-92
and published in the quarterly review, Cv Journal of Art &
Crafts. Then gathered in an anthology, Interviews with the Artists:
Elements of Discourse, (editions in 1993/1996/2001/2007). The
second phase was researched from January to July 2010; the third
from October 2010 to July 2011. Sixty eight interviews from the
collection are published this volume.

This edited volume presents ethical and economic analyses of
agrifood competition. By systematically examining fairness and
openness in agricultural markets, it seeks to answer the question
of whether there is adequate competition in the agrifood industry
and whether the system is fair to all participants. It outlines
ethical and economic principles important for understanding
agrifood competition, presents arguments for and against
consolidation, globalization and the integration of agrifood
industries, and looks at the implications of globalization on the
nature of competition in specific agricultural contexts.
Not another textbook, but a valuable tool for doctors and
microbiologists wanting to know how to set up a PCR diagnostic
microbiology laboratory according to current regulatory standards
and perform assays supplied with patient clinical diagnostic
criteria and easy to follow protocols. Whether laboratories are
using commercial kits or in-house methods developed in their own
laboratories or adopted from published methods, all clinical
microbiology laboratories need to be able to understand, critically
evaluate, perform and interpret these tests according to rigorous
and clinically appropriate standards and international guidelines.
The cost and effort of development and evaluation of in-house tests
is considerable and many laboratories do not have the resources to
do so. This compendium is a vehicle to improve and maintain the
clinical relevance and high quality of diagnostic PCR. It is a
unique collection of; guidelines for PCR laboratory set up and
quality control, test selection criteria, methods and detailed step
by step protocols for a diagnostic assays in the field of molecular
microbiology. The structure of the book provides the PCR
fundamentals and describes the clinical aspects and diagnosis of
infectious disease. This is followed by protocols divided into;
bacteria, virus, fungi and parasites, and susceptibility screens.
The inclusion of medical criteria and interpretation adds value to
the compendium and benefits clinicians, scientists, researchers and
students of clinical diagnostic microbiology
Are any nonhuman animals conscious? Why, if at all, should we
strive to conserve natural environments? In what sense are we parts
of nature? In this book, Simon James draws on a range of
philosophical and literary sources to develop original answers to
these and other questions, setting out a refreshingly new approach
to environmental philosophy.
The Trump presidency has been one of the most eventful and
controversial in American history, with consequences for the
governance and policy of the US and beyond. While Trump left office
claiming a long list of 'Trump Administration Accomplishments', his
time in office was also marked by a hailstorm of criticism. But
beyond the sensationalist tweets and news stories, what policy
effects did he bring? This volume provides an extensive and
authoritative set of studies evaluating Donald Trump's impact on
American society and beyond. It provides a new layered framework
for assessing the policy impact of leaders, which can be used for
understanding presidential and prime ministerial leadership more
widely. Chapters explore his impact on American democracy,
Congress, the Supreme Court, the economy, the COVID-19 pandemic,
the environment, American soft power, the international system and
more. The chapters in this book were originally published as a
special issue of the journal Policy Studies.
This book offers the first comparative monograph on the management
of elections. The book defines electoral management as a new,
inter-disciplinary area and advances a realist sociological
approach to study it. A series of new, original frameworks are
introduced, including the PROSeS framework, which can be used by
academics and practitioners around the world to evaluate electoral
management quality. A networked governance approach is also
introduced to understand the full range of collaborative actors
involved in delivering elections, including civil society and the
international community. Finally, the book evaluates some of the
policy instruments used to improve the integrity of elections,
including voter registration reform, training and the funding of
elections. Extensive mixed methods are used throughout including
thematic analysis of interviews, (auto-)ethnography, comparative
historical analysis and, cross-national and national surveys of
electoral officials. This text will be of key interest to scholars,
students and practitioners interested and involved in electoral
integrity and elections, and more broadly to comparative politics,
public administration, international relations and democracy
studies. Chapter 1 of this book is freely available as a

China has traditionally been held up around the world as the
archetype of centralised governance and a top-down system of public
administration. But to what extent does this remain true of modern
China? This book provides an updated perspective on modern China
through a series of cutting edge, original studies focusing on
public administration in China. The book opens with an overview of
the key political institutions and the evolution of public
administration research in China, followed by two distinct
sections. Part I contains studies focusing on power, governance,
and administration. Part II focuses on 'what works' in solving
wicked problems in Chinese society. The volume shows that China has
seen some localisation and decentralisation, alongside experiments
with collaboration and networked-based policy making. However, the
system of governance and public administration remains innately
top-down and centralised with the centre holding strong policy
levers and control over society. As the pandemic revealed, this
statist approach provided both governing opportunities and
disadvantages. The chapters in this book were originally published
as a special issue of Policy Studies.
gricultural science policy in the United States has profoundly
affected the growth and development of agriculture worldwide, not
just in the A United States. Over the past 150 years, and
especially over the second th half of the 20 Century, public
investments in agricultural R&D in the United States grew
faster than the value of agricultural production. Public spending
on agricultural science grew similarly in other more-developed
countries, and c- lectively these efforts, along with private
spending, spurred agricultural prod- tivity growth in rich and poor
nations alike. The value of this investment is seldom fully
appreciated. The resulting p- ductivity improvements have released
labor and other resources for alternative uses-in 1900, 29. 2
million Americans (39 percent of the population) were - rectly
engaged in farming compared with just 2. 9 million (1. 1 percent)
today- while making food and fiber more abundant and cheaper. The
benefits are not confined to Americans. U. S. agricultural science
has contributed with others to growth in agricultural productivity
in many other countries as well as the Un- ed States. The world's
population more than doubled from around 3 billion in 1961 to 6. 54
billion in 2006 (U. S. Census Bureau 2009). Over the same period,
production of important grain crops (including maize, wheat and
rice) almost trebled, such that global per capita grain production
was 18 percent higher in 2006.
