Counterfeiting is, in one sense, about the creation of something that appears authentic-an invented self, a museum display, a forged work of art. But the counterfeit can also be a means by which the authenticStudies in American literary realism and naturalism.American literature20th centuryHistory and criticismCounterfeits and counterfeiting in literatureAmerican literature19th centuryHistory and criticismAuthenticity (Philosophy) in literatureImpostors and imposture in literatureIdentity (Psychology) in literaturePassing (Identity) in literatureSelf in literatureElectronic books.American literatureHistory and criticism.Counterfeits and counterfeiting in literature.American literatureHistory and criticism.Authenticity (Philosophy) in literature.Impostors and imposture in literature.Identity (Psychology) in literature.Passing (Identity) in literature.Self in literature.810.9/353Balkun Mary McAleer855898MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455035303321The American counterfeit1910961UNINA04332nam 2200673Ia 450 991045074470332120200520144314.01-280-90831-997866109083180-85199-045-2(CKB)1000000000344459(EBL)301656(OCoLC)476080760(SSID)ssj0000241444(PQKBManifestationID)11219334(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000241444(PQKBWorkID)10298241(PQKB)10590389(MiAaPQ)EBC301656(Au-PeEL)EBL301656(CaPaEBR)ebr10073618(EXLCZ)99100000000034445920040224d2004 uy 0engurcn#nnn|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierSaving seeds[electronic resource] the economics of conserving crop genetic resources ex situ in the future harvest centres of the CGIAR /Bonwoo Koo, Philip G.

Wright.The conservation of genetic resources is vital to the maintenance of biodiversity and to the world's ability to feed its growing population. There are now more than a thousand genebanks worldwide involved in the ex situ (meaning ''away from the source'') storage of particular classes of crops. Since the 1970's, the eleven genebanks maintained by the centres of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) have become pivotal to the global conservation effort. However, key policy and management issues - usually with economic dimensions - have largely been overlooked. This provided the impetus for a series of detailed economic studies, led by IFPRI, in collaboration with five CGIAR centres: CIAT (based in Colombia), CIMMYT (Mexico), ICARDA (Syria), ICRISAT (India) and IRRI (Philippines). This book reports these studies and discusses their wider implications.CropsGermplasm resourcesGene banks, PlantElectronic books.CropsGermplasm resources.Gene banks, Plant.631.5/23Koo Bonwoo925354Pardey Philip G88789Wright Brian1948 Jan. 1-925355C.A.B.
