It focuses on rural areas of developing countries, looking in particular at stand-alone solar home systems and grid-connected biomass cogeneration plants. It analyzes the main barriers to the successful transfer of renewable energy technology, with case studies from a range of South-East Asian, South Asian, Pacific and African countries, and explains the ways in which these obstacles can be overcome. The roles of the key players involved and how the Kyoto Protocol can facilitate the transfer in order to mitigate climate change are also discussed. 606 $aAppropriate technology$zDeveloping countries 606 $aRenewable energy sources$zDeveloping countries 606 $aTechnology transfer$zDeveloping countries$vCase studies 606 $aTechnology transfer 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAppropriate technology 615 0$aRenewable energy sources 615 0$aTechnology transfer 615 0$aTechnology transfer. 676 $a338.926 676 $a338.926091724 700 $aWilkins$b Gill$0989651 712 02$aEarthscan. 712 02$aRoyal Institute of International Affairs. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459180303321 996 $aTechnology transfer for renewable energy$92263500 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04303nam 22007692 450 001 9910790239403321 005 20160309144734.0 010 $a1-139-41116-0 010 $a1-107-22539-6 010 $a1-280-68286-8 010 $a1-139-42248-0 010 $a9786613659804 010 $a1-139-41946-3 010 $a1-139-01584-2 010 $a1-139-42150-6 010 $a1-139-41741-X 010 $a1-139-42355-X 035 $a(CKB)2670000000203847 035 $a(EBL)907116 035 $a(OCoLC)794663479 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000655032 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11383872 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000655032 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10595252 035 $a(PQKB)10806686 035 $a(UkCbUP)CR9781139015844 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC907116 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL907116 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10568326 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL365980 035 $a(PPN)200717030 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000203847 100 $a20110214d2012|||| uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aConsanguinity in context /$fAlan H.

Consanguinity in context; References; Index. 330 $aAn essential guide to this major contemporary issue, Consanguinity in Context is a uniquely comprehensive account of intra-familial marriage. Detailed information on past and present religious, social and legal practices and prohibitions is presented as a backdrop to the preferences and beliefs of the 1100+ million people in consanguineous unions. Chapters on population genetics, and the role of consanguinity in reproductive behaviour and genetic variation, set the scene for critical analyses of the influence of consanguinity on health in the early years of life. The discussion on consanguinity and disorders of adulthood is the first review of its kind and is particularly relevant given the ageing of the global population. Incest is treated as a separate issue, with historical and present-day examples examined. The final three chapters deal in detail with practical issues, including genetic testing, education and counselling, national and international legislation and imperatives, and the future of consanguineous marriage worldwide. 410 0$aCambridge studies in biological and evolutionary anthropology ;$v63. 606 $aHuman population genetics 606 $aConsanguinity 606 $aConsanguinity$xHealth aspects 606 $aKinship 606 $aIncest$xPsychological aspects 615 0$aHuman population genetics. 615 0$aConsanguinity. 615 0$aConsanguinity$xHealth aspects. 615 0$aKinship. 615 0$aIncest$xPsychological aspects. 676 $a306.83 686 $aSCI070050$2bisacsh 700 $aBittles$b A.
