Plants and BioEnergy (Advances in Plant Biology)
Plants and BioEnergy (Advances in Plant Biology)

A country's vision for developing renewable and sustainable energy resources is typically propelled by three important drivers – security, cost, and environmental impact. The U.S. currently accounts for a quarter of the world’s total oil consumption, with domestic demands necessitating – at an ever growing cost – a...

The Western European Loess Belt: Agrarian History, 5300 BC - AD 1000
The Western European Loess Belt: Agrarian History, 5300 BC - AD 1000
Many books on the agrarian history ofWestern Europe begin with the Middle Ages, which is quite understandable, because they are mostly based on written sources. But everybody who is interested in agriculture knows that agriculture started much earlier and also that information on that millennia-long period is provided by archaeology. Admittedly,...
Area-Wide Control of Insect Pests: From Research to Field Implementation
Area-Wide Control of Insect Pests: From Research to Field Implementation
The world population is still growing at an alarming rate, requiring ever increasing productivity and less waste in agriculture to cope with the increasing demands to satisfy food security for all humans. Alleviation of poverty is in many countries hampered by a myriad of insect pests that cause enormous economic...
Victorian and Edwardian Somerset
Victorian and Edwardian Somerset

Somerset, one of England's most rural counties, has for centuries depended on agriculture for much of its income. At the time these photographs were taken much of the county was suffering a downturn in agricultural output. A series of disastrous harvests in the 1880s and the loss of the corn laws. The poverty and hardship on the land...

Long-term Perspective in Coastal Zone Development: Multifunctional Coastal Protection Zones
Long-term Perspective in Coastal Zone Development: Multifunctional Coastal Protection Zones

The southern coast of the North Sea is mainly protected by a single line of defence against flooding. The traditional means for heightening and strengthening the existing coastal barriers are limited due to the increased enormous resource costs, i.e. building materials, funding and space. On the other hand, further interests and needs such as...

An Introduction To Optoelectronic Sensors (Series in Optics and Photonics)
An Introduction To Optoelectronic Sensors (Series in Optics and Photonics)
This invaluable book offers a comprehensive overview of the technologies and applications of optoelectronic sensors. Based on the R&D experience of more than 70 engineers and scientists, highly representative of the Italian academic and industrial community in this area, this book provides a broad and accurate description of the...
Handbook of Sensor Networks: Compact Wireless and Wired Sensing Systems
Handbook of Sensor Networks: Compact Wireless and Wired Sensing Systems
As the field of communications networks continues to evolve, a very interesting and challenging area — wireless sensor networks — is rapidly coming of age. A wireless sensor network consists of a large number of sensor nodes that may be randomly and densely deployed. Sensor nodes are small electronic components capable of sensing many...
Sustainable Agriculture Reviews: Volume 13
Sustainable Agriculture Reviews: Volume 13

Sustainable agriculture is a rapidly growing field aiming at producing food and energy in a sustainable way for humans and their children. It is a discipline that addresses current issues: climate change, increasing food and fuel prices, poor-nation starvation, rich-nation obesity, water pollution, soil erosion, fertility loss, pest control...

Data Mining for Systems Biology: Methods and Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology)
Data Mining for Systems Biology: Methods and Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology)

The post-genomic revolution is witnessing the generation of petabytes of data annually, with deep implications ranging across evolutionary theory, developmental biology, agriculture, and disease processes. Data Mining for Systems Biology: Methods and Protocols, surveys and demonstrates the science and technology of converting...

Paleogenomics: Genome-Scale Analysis of Ancient DNA (Population Genomics)
Paleogenomics: Genome-Scale Analysis of Ancient DNA (Population Genomics)
Advances in genome-scale DNA sequencing technologies have revolutionized genetic research on ancient organisms, extinct species, and past environments. When it is recoverable after hundreds or thousands of years of unintended preservation, “ancient DNA” (or aDNA) is often highly degraded, necessitating specialized handling...
Optical Remote Sensing: Science and Technology (Optical Science and Engineering, Volume 84)
Optical Remote Sensing: Science and Technology (Optical Science and Engineering, Volume 84)
In recent years, much has transpired in the field of remote sensing and, in particular, polarization. Polarization is an outgrowth of multiple, highly accurate photometric measurements. Plane polarization is the difference between precision photometric measurements in two mutually perpendicular directions. Circular polarization...
The Pesticide Detox: Towards a More Sustainable Agriculture
The Pesticide Detox: Towards a More Sustainable Agriculture
This book seeks to address some of these difficulties and set out some new solutions. Pests, diseases and weeds eat, infiltrate and smother crops and grab their nutrients. If farmers stood back and let nature take its course, there would be insufficient food. They must do something. Pesticides are easy to use, although often costly for farmers. In...
