A Road Map Ahead.Climate Resilient Agriculture for Ensuring Food Security comprehensively deals with important aspects of climate resilient agriculture for food security using adaptation and mitigation measures. Climatic changes and increasing climatic variability are likely to aggravate the problem of future food security by exerting pressure on agriculture. For the past few decades, the gaseous composition of the earth’s atmosphere has been undergoing significant changes, largely through increased emissions from the energy, industry and agriculture sectors; widespread deforestation as well as fast changes in land use and land management practices. Agriculture and food systems must improve and ensure food security, and to do so they need to adapt to climate change and natural resource pressures, and contribute to mitigating climate change. Climate-resilient agriculture contributes to sustainably increasing agricultural productivity and incomes, adapting and building resilience to climate change and reducing and/or eliminating greenhouse gas emissions where possible. The information on climate resilient agriculture for ensuring food security is widely scattered. There is currently no other book that comprehensively and exclusively deals with the above aspects of agriculture and focuses on ensuring food security. This volume is divided into fourteen chapters, which include the Introduction, Causes of Climate Change, Agriculture as a Source of Greenhouse Gases, Impacts of Climate Change on Agriculture, Regional Impacts on Climate Change, Impacts on Crop Protection, Impacts on Insect and Mite Pests, Impacts on Plant Pathogens, Impacts on Nematode Pests, Impacts on Weeds, Impacts on Integrated Pest Management, Climate Change Adaptation, Climate Change Mitigation, and A Road Map Ahead. The book is extensively illustrated with excellent photographs, which enhance the quality of publication. It is clearly written, using easy-to-understand language. It also provides adoptable recommendations involving eco-friendly adaptation and mitigation measures. This book will be of immense value to the scientific community involved in teaching, research and extension activities. The material can also be used for teaching post-graduate courses. It will also serve as a very useful reference source for policy makers.AgricultureClimate changeLife sciencesPopular worksAgriculturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006Climate Changehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007Life Sciences, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L00004Science, Humanities and Social Sciences, multidisciplinaryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/A11007Popular Science, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q00007Agriculture.Climate change.Life sciences.Popular works.Agriculture.Climate Change.Life Sciences, general.Science, Humanities and Social Sciences, multidisciplinary.Popular Science, general.50500570577.27Reddy P.

A long awaited revenge.In London, journalist Jo Clifford plans to debunk the belief in past-lives in a hard-hitting magazine piece. But her scepticism is shaken when a hypnotist forces her to relive the experiences of Matilda, Lady of Hay, a noblewoman during the reign of King John.She learns of Matilda's unhappy marriage, her love for the handsome Richard de Clare, and the brutal death threats handed out by King John, before it becomes clear that Jo's past and present are inevitably entwined. She realises that eight hundred years on, Matilda's story of secret passion and unspeakable treachery is about to repeat itself...Barbara Erskine's iconic debut novel still delights generations of readers thirty years after its first publication.823/.914Erskine Barbara1450826Blair IslaothAUDIO9910148940003321Lady of Hay3650440UNINA02363nam 2200589 a 450 991078684980332120230801230755.01-4529-4853-40-8166-8179-1(CKB)2670000000386549(SSID)ssj0000915322(PQKBManifestationID)11549936(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000915322(PQKBWorkID)10868370(PQKB)11150719(StDuBDS)EDZ0001177381(MiAaPQ)EBC1221406(OCoLC)849935283(MdBmJHUP)muse29999(Au-PeEL)EBL1221406(CaPaEBR)ebr10723512(CaONFJC)MIL522844(OCoLC)851972404(EXLCZ)99267000000038654920120522d2012 ub 0engur|||||||||||txtccrAt the borders of sleep[electronic resource] on liminal literature /Peter SchwengerMinneapolis University of Minnesota Pressc20121 online resource (xiii, 167 p.)Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-8166-7975-4 Includes bibliographical references (p. 153-162) and index.'At the Borders of Sleep' investigates a liminal or threshold state between two fundamental modes of human consciousness, the waking state and the sleeping one - which are not as distinct from one another as is commonly thought. Liminal states are so subtle and evanescent that only literary depictions can do them justice; and so literature, along with philosophy and some science, has generated this book's argument. That argument is then turned back upon literature to show how both reading and writing are liminal experiences, taking place at the edges of conscious thought.LiteratureHistory and criticismTheory, etcLiminalityConsciousnessLiteratureHistory and criticismTheory, etc.Liminality.Consciousness.809/.933561Schwenger Peter1942-782832MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786849803321At the borders of sleep3771690UNINA
