Monarchal Posture --References --IndexIn this provocative examination of collective identity in Jordan, Linda Layne challenges long-held Western assumptions that Arabs belong to easily recognizable corporate social groups. Who is a "true" Jordanian? Who is a "true" Bedouin? These questions, according to Layne, are examples of a kind of pigeonholing that has distorted the reality of Jordanian national politics. In developing an alternate approach, she shows that the fluid social identities of Jordan emerge from an ongoing dialogue among tribespeople, members of the intelligentsia, Hashemite rulers, and Western social scientists. Many commentators on social identity in the Middle East limit their studies to the village level, but Layne's goal is to discover how the identity-building processes of the locality and of the nation condition each other. She finds that the tribes create their own cultural "homes" through a dialogue with official nationalist rhetoric and Jordanian urbanites, while King Hussein, in turn, maintains the idea of the "homeland" in ways that are powerfully influenced by the tribespeople. The identities so formed resemble the shifting, irregular shapes of postmodernist land-scapes--but Hussein and the Jordanian people are also beginning to use a classically modernist linear narrative to describe themselves. Layne maintains, however, that even with this change Jordanian identities will remain resistant to all-or-nothing descriptions.BedouinsJordanEthnic identityJordanSocial life and customsElectronic books.BedouinsEthnic identity.956.95/004927Layne Linda L890358MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454844703321Home and homeland2465010UNINA05396nam 2201297z- 450 991055734960332120231214132939.0(CKB)5400000000042394(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/77072(EXLCZ)99540000000004239420202201d2021 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierSustainable Agriculture and Soil ConservationBasel, SwitzerlandMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute20211 electronic resource (191 p.)3-0365-2477-0 3-0365-2476-2 Soil degradation is one of the most topical environmental threats. A number of processes causing soil degradation, specifically erosion, compaction, salinization, pollution, and loss of both organic matter and soil biodiversity, are also strictly connected to agricultural activity and its intensification. The development and adoption of sustainable agronomic practices able to preserve and enhance the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soils and improve agroecosystem functions is a challenge for both scientists and farmers. The Special Issue entitled “Sustainable Agriculture and Soil Conservation” collects 12 original contributions addressing the state of the art of sustainable agriculture and soil conservation. The papers cover a wide range of topics, including organic agriculture, soil amendment and soil organic carbon (SOC) management, the impact of SOC on soil water repellency, the effects of soil tillage on the quantity of SOC associated with several fractions of soil particles and depth, and SOC prediction, using visible and near-infrared spectra and multivariate modeling. Moreover, the effects of some soil contaminants (e.g., crude oil, tungsten, copper, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) are discussed or reviewed in light of the recent literature. The collection of the manuscripts presented in this Special Issue provides a relevant knowledge contribution for improving our understanding on sustainable agriculture and soil conservation, thus stimulating new views on this main topic.Research & information: generalbicsscTungstencorn uptakesoil characteristicsFreundlich modelBiolog®community-level physiological profiling (CLPP)functional diversity indicesmetabolic bacterial diversityolivesoil fertilitysoil qualitymaizestomatasoilphenanthreneremediationqualitative multi-attribute modeltotal energy outputagro-ecological service cropsex-post sustainabilityorganic systemsamendmentbiocharbrewers’ spent grainhopimage analysisplant growthBeerkan methodinfiltrationforest restorationsoil water repellencytillagefertilizationsoil depthorganic carbonclay mineralsdiffuse reflectanceinfrared Fourier transform spectroscopybioremediationcompostingPAHsorganic co-substratesmulchingflatteningirrigationphotosynthesistranspirationwater stress integralfruit growthwater use efficiencyproductivitysoil organic matternear-infrared spectroscopyspatial heterogeneitymultivariate adaptive regression splinespartial least squares regressionanaerobic digestion residuessoil amendmentsoil fertilizationsoil organic Csoil porositysoil microbial communitycopperrhizospheresmart agriculturemicrobesvineyardorganic agriculturesoil organic carbonsoil managementsoil contaminationsoil remediationsustainable fruit growingwater conservation practicesmultivariate statistical models for SOC predictionResearch & information: generalGattullo Concetta Elianaedt1326450Stellacci Anna MariaedtCastellini MirkoedtDiacono MariangelaedtGattullo Concetta ElianaothStellacci Anna MariaothCastellini MirkoothDiacono MariangelaothBOOK9910557349603321Sustainable Agriculture and Soil Conservation3037446UNINA
