Surveying and analyzing these various texts and artefacts, the author reveals that gender is a crucial factor in understanding love spells. He argues that there are two types of love magic: the curselike charms used primarily by men to torture unwilling women with fiery and maddening passion until they surrender sexually; and the binding spells and debilitating potions generally used by women to sedate angry or philandering husbands and make them more affectionate. The author's analysis of these spells also yields a number of insights about the construction of gender in antiquity. Most significantly, his findings challenge the modern view that all Greek men considered women to be naturally lascivious. 606 $aMagic, Greek 606 $aLove$zGreece$xHistory 606 $aSex role$zGreece$xHistory 606 $aSex$zGreece$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMagic, Greek. 615 0$aLove$xHistory. 615 0$aSex role$xHistory. 615 0$aSex$xHistory. 676 $a133.4420938 700 $aFaraone$b Christopher A$0223741 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455064403321 996 $aAncient greek love magic$9753339 997 $aUNINA LEADER 06271nam 22007695 450 001 9910299445303321 005 20250609110058.0 010 $a81-322-2244-X 024 7 $a10.1007/978-81-322-2244-6 035 $a(CKB)3710000000378111 035 $a(EBL)2094271 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001465744 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11792907 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001465744 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11478953 035 $a(PQKB)10669883 035 $a(DE-He213)978-81-322-2244-6 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC2094271 035 $a(PPN)184888867 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3108613 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000378111 100 $a20150316d2015 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aSustainable Horticulture in Semiarid Dry Lands /$fby Shrikant Hiwale 205 $a1st ed. 2015. 210 1$aNew Delhi :$cSpringer India :$cImprint: Springer,$d2015. 215 $a1 online resource (406 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a81-322-2243-1 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters. 327 $a1.

This leads to improved sustainability, increased availability of fresh produce, which is vital for human health and higher incomes for small and marginal farmers. Arid and semiarid areas account for almost 70 per cent of the total cropped area of India. In these areas physical constraints like low and erratic rainfall, high temperature, high wind velocity, low fertility, poor soil structure, salinity of soil and ground water all limit reliable crop production. In the absence of any type of aggregation, the soils are highly erodible, lack structure and have a very coarse in texture with low water holding capacity. Intensive agricultural practices, increasing population pressure, climatic changes, environmental pollution, loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, salinization and water depletion are all threatening the sustainability of agriculture. In view of the mounting demand for food, it is vital to link enhanced food production with nutritional security, conservation of natural resources, increasing farmers? incomes, employment generation through agricultural diversification. Horticulture, particularly of fruit trees, can play a major role in solving the problem of nutrition, as fruits are rich source of vitamins and minerals and have antioxidant properties. Fruit trees, which are mostly deciduous, add leaf litter to the soil, and this ultimately helps to improve the condition of the soil. In addition, fruit trees are known to reduce soil erosion and reduce run off. The trees also play a major role in purifying the environment as they are the known carbon sequesters. Fruit-tree cultivation is a profitable preposition. There is no scope to increase the land surface; all increase in productivity therefore has to be from the available land. This means introducing cropping systems that can meet the basic food, fodder and fuel requirement of farming families. 606 $aEarth sciences 606 $aEcology 606 $aLife sciences 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aStatistics 606 $aEarth Sciences, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G00002 606 $aEnvironment, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U00009 606 $aLife Sciences, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L00004 606 $aSocial Sciences, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X00000 606 $aStatistics, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/S0000X 615 0$aEarth sciences. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aLife sciences. 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 0$aStatistics. 615 14$aEarth Sciences, general. 615 24$aEnvironment, general. 615 24$aLife Sciences, general. 615 24$aSocial Sciences, general. 615 24$aStatistics, general. 676 $a300 676 $a333.7 676 $a519.5 676 $a55 676 $a550 676 $a570 700 $aHiwale$b Shrikant$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01063125 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299445303321 996 $aSustainable Horticulture in Semiarid Dry Lands$92530677 997 $aUNINA
