Today´s agriculture faces new and difficult challenges. With modern methods widely applied, it is commonly believed that genetic crop improvement is a key for increasing yields. In spite of the discussion about the safety of genetically modified (GM) crops that is still raging in the European Union where the take-up of the new technology is more limited, the cultivation of GM plants and crops has exploded all over the world. Conceived with the aim of sorting fact from fiction over GM crops, this volume brings together the knowledge of 30 specialists in the field of transgenic plants. It covers the generation and detection of these plants as well as the genetic traits conferred on transgenic plants. In addition, the book looks at a wide variety of crops, ornamental plants and tree species that are subject to genetic modifications, assessing the risks involved in genetic modification as well as the potential economic benefits of the technology in specific cases. The book's structure, with fully cross-referenced chapters, gives readers a quick access to specific topics, whether that is detailed and comprehensive data on particular species of ornamentals, or coverage of the socioeconomic implications of GM technology. With an increasing demand for bioenergy, and the necessary higher yields relying on wider genetic variation, this book supplies all the technical details required to move forward to a new era in agriculture.

This richly illustrated book contains 24 scientific articles on plants and molluscs written by 38 colleagues and former students of Wim Kuijper. The majority of these articles deal with one or a few species found on archaeological excavations, from corncockle via Glycymeris shells to forget-me-nots. A member of staff of the Faculty of Archaeology at Leiden University for 40 years, Wim has supervised students and advised colleagues in the fields of plant and mollusc remains with great enthusiasm and success. They are very grateful for this help and this compilation is the result. The book conta

Certains systèmes agroalimentaires localisés (Syal) semblent tout à la fois constituer une réponse à la vague de mondialisation et ouvrir des pistes pour affronter les enjeux d'un développement (plus) durable. Ils participent en effet à une dynamique socio-économique locale, valorisent des ressources naturelles tout en les préservant, ou offrent des produits ayant une forte « densité culturelle ». Mais d'où les Syal tiennent-ils ces propriétés ? Vaste question que cet ouvrage explore sous l'angle original des relations entre le changement technique et l'ancrage territorial des activités productives.De la mise en valeur de la race bovine d'Aubrac dans les années 1960 jusqu'au questionnement des modèles techniques de production de légumes dans les Pyrénées-Orientales, en passant par la relance du safran dans le Quercy, la qualification des fromages corses ou du fromage de Cotija des rancheros mexicains, les auteurs analysent de multiples expériences qui dessinent les voies de futurs possibles. Cet ouvrage s'adresse à un public de chercheurs et d'enseignants aussi bien que de responsables politiques ou associatifs, d'animateurs territoriaux et de praticiens du développement.

Structures which are conceived rationally have an order and logic which do not always fit into real world conditions of the irrational and the unpredictable in architecture. But what if structural ideas were explored as a condition in architecture which challenged the predictable? What if structure were not bound by its rational ethos but instead conceived in alternative approaches relevant to real-world irrationalities? And if the approaches lead to what is possible, then is structural eccentricity a norm or an anomaly in architecture? This book documents a series of design investigations that engage with conditions of shape, change and mutation, giving rise to design propositions dealing with eccentricity in structure. With illustrations and accompanying descriptions of the design process, this book is a useful reference for structural strategies in architecture. Joseph Lim is also the author of Bio-structural Analogues in Architecture. He is with the Department of Architecture, University of Singapore and has a special interest in prototypical structures that challenge the norm in spatial conception.

"J'ai toujours pensé que la matérialisation de l'architecture n'a pas lieu au moment où elle se dessine, mais au moment où elle se construit. Sinon, elle n'a pas de sens. L'architecture vernaculaire, née sur place, façonnée par les contraintes, est par définition plus contextuelle. Sa force, en même temps que sa fragilité, vient du fait qu'elle se situe dans la permanence et non dans l'événement", Patrick Bouchain.
