Why did Restoration and Augustan writers such as Milton, Dryden, Swift, and Pope describe, catalog, and memorialize the waste matter that their social and political worlds wanted to get rid of--from the theological dregs in Paradise Lost to the excrements in "The Lady's Dressing Room" and the corpses of A Journal of the Plague Year? In Making Waste, the first book about refuse and its place in Enlightenment literature and culture, Sophie Gee examines the meaning of waste at the moment when the early modern world was turning modern. Gee explains how English writers used contemporary theological and philosophical texts about unwanted and leftover matter to explore secular, literary relationships between waste and value. She finds that, in the eighteenth century, waste was as culturally valuable as it was practically worthless--and that waste paradoxically revealed the things that the culture cherished most. The surprising central insight of Making Waste is that the creation of value always generates waste. Waste is therefore a sign--though a perverse one--that value and meaning have been made. Even when it appears to symbolize civic, economic, and political failure, waste is in fact restorative, a sign of cultural invigoration and imaginative abundance. Challenging the conventional association of Enlightenment culture with political and social improvement, and scientific and commercial progress, Making Waste has important insights for cultural and intellectual history as well as literary studies.English literature18th centuryHistory and criticismWaste (Economics) in literatureLiterature and societyGreat BritainHistory18th centuryRefuse and refuse disposal in literatureConsumption (Economics) in literatureGreat BritainCivilization18th centuryEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.Waste (Economics) in literature.Literature and societyHistoryRefuse and refuse disposal in literature.Consumption (Economics) in literature.820.9/3553Gee Sophie1974-1465086MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781051103321Making waste3674943UNINA04817nam 22006375 450 991037391340332120250609110106.03-030-18601-610.1007/978-3-030-18601-2(CKB)4100000009845233(DE-He213)978-3-030-18601-2(MiAaPQ)EBC5978031(PPN)260302015(MiAaPQ)EBC5977976(EXLCZ)99410000000984523320191113d2019 u| 0engurnn#008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Grape Genome /edited by Dario Cantu, M.

It also discusses how these are having a direct impact on outcomes for grape breeders and the international grape research community. While V. vinifera is a model species, it is not always appreciated that its cultivation usually requires the use of other Vitis species as rootstocks. The book discusses genetic diversity within the Vitis genus, the available genetic resources for breeding, and the available genomic resources for other Vitis species. Grapes (Vitis vinifera spp. vinifera) have been a source of food and wine since their domestication from their wild progenitor (Vitis vinifera ssp. sylvestris) around 8,000 years ago, and they are now the world’s most valuable horticultural crop. In addition to being economically important, V. vinifera is also a model organism for the study of perennial fruit crops for two reasons: Firstly, its ability to be transformed and micropropagated via somatic embryogenesis, and secondly its relatively small genome size of 500 Mb. The economic importance of grapes made V. vinifera an obvious early candidate for genomic sequencing, and accordingly, two draft genomes were reported in 2007. Remarkably, these were the first genomes of any fruiting crop to be sequenced and only the fourth for flowering plants. Although riddled with gaps and potentially omitting large regions of repetitive sequences, the two genomes have provided valuable insights into grape genomes. Cited in over 2,000 articles, the genome has served as a reference in more than 3,000 genome-wide transcriptional analyses. Further, recent advances in DNA sequencing and bioinformatics are enabling the assembly of reference-grade genome references for more grape genotypes revealing the exceptional extent of structural variation in the species.Compendium of Plant Genomes,2199-4781Plant geneticsPlant breedingAgricultureGenètica vegetalthubPlant Genetics and Genomicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L32020Plant Breeding/Biotechnologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24060Agriculturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006Llibres electrònicsthubPlant genetics.Plant breeding.Agriculture.Genètica vegetalPlant Genetics and Genomics.Plant Breeding/Biotechnology.Agriculture.581.35Cantu Darioedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtWalker M.
