Sommario/riassunto

Focusing on the cultural practices of the lower classes and specifically on the productions of the murgas, Carnival Theater is a consideration of Uruguayan society's identity crisis and subsequent redefinition in the wake of the regimes of the 1970's. A revealing work of cultural criticism, the book proposes a new set of criteria for the critique of national culture.

Sommario/riassunto

As the world's population and the demand for seafood increase, the production of seafood from aquaculture has also seen massive increase and is set to continue. With wild stocks of many molluscan species depleted, aquaculture is firmly recognised as the means now, and for the future, of bridging the gap between the supply and demand of



seafood.  This important book covers the general biology of bivalves, hatchery culture methods and specific and comprehensive details of the cultivation of many commercially important species, including clams, oysters, mussels, scallops and abalone.
