Maize Cobs and Cultures

1. An Introduction to Maize Cobs and Cultures/ 2. Ethnohistory: Impressions and Perceptions of Maize/ 3. Scientific, Botanical, and Biological Research on Maize/ 4. Ethnobotanic, Interdisciplinary, and Multidisciplinary Methodologies/ References/ Index/
* Our perceptions and conceptions regarding the roles and importance of maize to ancient economies is largely a product of scientific research on the plant itself, developed for the most part out of botanical research, and its recent role as one of the most important economic staples in the world.
* Anthropological research in the early part of the last century based largely upon the historical particularistic approach of the Boasian tradition provided the first evidence that challenged the assumptions about the economic importance of maize to sociocultural developments for scholars of prehistory. Subsequent ethnobotanic and archaeological studies showed that the role of maize among Native American cultures was much more complex than just as a food staple. *

* Vast areas of Earth's landmass exist as deserts, representing quite distinct ecosystems. Desert plants and animals have evolved specialised survival strategies to cope with the harsh environment of high temperatures and scarce water resources. The life-supporting vegetation of deserts is characterised by its unique reproductive biology, metabolism and adaptive characters. Plants like Prosopis cineraria and date palm form the basis of the rural economy in many countries, and are of great cultural importance; Jojoba and Jatropha have attracted interest as non-conventional sources of industrial oil and biodiesel. *

Crop Protection
From Agrochemistry to Agroecology
Science Publishers 2009.9

Contents
1. The New Issues in Crop Protection/ 2. Cotton, A Case Study/ 3. Stepping Off the Pesticide Treadmill/ 4. The Concept of Integrated Control/ 5. Harmonising Control Methods: Mirage and Reality/ 6. Ecological Bases of the Management of Populations/ 7. Habitat Management: The Factor Uniting Agronomy and Ecology/ Index/
* This book is a synthesis and a celebration of a large body of agro-ecological research carried out on the management of the pests of cotton, one of the world's major crops and one which has historically been a very heavy consumer of inputs of pesticides. It demonstrates how agro-ecological approaches to pest management are at last approaching the ainstream with an increasing recognition that farmland delivers a wide range of ecosystem services (nature's goods and services), including but certainly not solely comprising the production of food. *

Climate Change and Agriculture
An Economic Analysis of Global Impacts, Adaptation and Distributional Effects
Edward Elgar 2009.8

ISBN 1-84720-670-0
13,300円
Contents
1. Introduction/ 2. The Role of Climate in Agricultural Production/ 3. Literature Review of Economic Impacts of Climate Change on Agriculture/ 4. The Ricardian Method/ 5. Modeling Adaptation to Climate Change/ 6. Structural Ricardian Models/ 7. Ricardian Analyses of Aggregate Data/ 8. Ricardian Models of Individual Farms/ 9. Adaptation Studies/ 10. Structural Ricardian Studies/ 11. Summary of Results/ 12. Policy Implications and Future Research Needs/ Index/
* Despite its great importance, there are surprisingly few economic studies of the impact of climate on agriculture and how agriculture can adapt under a variety of conditions, especially in developing countries. * This book examines 22 countries across four continents, including both developed and developing economies. It provides both a good analytical basis for additional work and solid results for policy debate concerning abatement, adaptation, and equity (income distributional effects). *

* Grassland provides the forage basis to feed ruminant animals for the production of meat and milk ever since their domestication. With the introduction of improved crop rotations at the end of the sixteenth century, grasses and legumes began to be also grown to an important extent as forage crops on arable land. In the last decades the importance of amenity grasses increased markedly, due to the demand of the society for new usages like landscape protection. *
