Has humanity become a lost cause? Is there anywhere left where people can thrive once again?In Texas, as General Rusk basks in the glory of his own created paradise, a storm is brewing.

Beyond the Hype (eBook, ePUB)
'This is how to talk about science' Justin Webb'A candid inside account . . . [Fox] reveals how frontline science can be just as messy, complex and feudal as any political drama.' Anjana Ahuja, co-author of Spike: The Virus Versus the PeopleDo you remember the 'Climategate' email leak? Or the 'Frankenfood'-style headlines about the perils of GM foods? What about the time the government sacked its own science advisor for challenging drug laws?Beyond the Hype takes us behind the scenes of some of the most contentious stories in science over the past two decades. From animal research and genetically modified foods to hybrid embryos and a global pandemic, it demonstrates the vital importance of scientists talking to the media - and warns of the damage to public understanding when scientists are silenced on the defining issues of our times.'The way the media covers science stories and breakthroughs has never been more important or relevant . . . This book should be recommended reading'Jim Al-Khalili, presenter of The Life Scientific'The pandemic has repeatedly shown the vital necessity for accurate reporting of science . . . Fox provides some riveting stories about the ups and downs of this continuing struggle.'

Enhancing Agricultural Research and Precision Management for Subsistence Farming by Integrating System Models with Experiments
Insightful applications of crop system models to developing countries to explore climate change mitigation and management decision toolsEnhancing Agricultural Research and Precision Management for Subsistence Farming by Integrating System Models with Experiments, delivers an authoritative collection of applications of crop system models to Asian and African environments and evaluates current agricultural systems in developing nations. The book provides models to assist in the precision management of soil water, fertilizers and manures, soil organic matter, alternative crops, and cultivars in both rainfed and irrigated systems.Contributions cover recent and ongoing research in knowledge gap areas such as modeling the long-term effect of management soil health, the effect of extreme temperatures and drought on evapotranspiration and crop growth, root growth and the uptake of water and nutrients.. The book also includes* An introduction to system models integrated with experiments as tools to develop improved management practices for subsistence farming* Explorations of models of soil erosion impacts and trade-offs for sustainable land management practices in Kenya* Discussions of the crop simulation model as a tool to quantify the effects of crop management practices in northern Ethiopia* In-depth examinations of models of water dynamics for assessing and managing ecosystem services in IndiaPerfect for field research scientists and graduate students studying cropping and range systems, and essential reading for agricultural consultants, progressive farmers, plant breeders, and policymakers.Volume 9 in the series, Advances in Agricultural Systems Modeling: Transdisciplinary Research, Synthesis, and Applications.Lajpat R.

Empty Planet
**A SUNDAY TIMES MUST-READ**'Riveting and vitally important' - Steven Pinker'A gripping narrative of a world on the cusp of profound change' - Anjana Ahuja, New StatesmanEmpty Planet offers a radical, provocative argument that the global population will soon begin to decline, dramatically reshaping the social, political and economic landscape.For half a century, statisticians, pundits and politicians have warned that a burgeoning planetary population will soon overwhelm the earth's resources. But a growing number of experts are sounding a different kind of alarm. Rather than growing exponentially, they argue, the global population is headed for a steep decline. Throughout history, depopulation was the product of catastrophe: ice ages, plagues, the collapse of civilizations. This time, however, we're thinning ourselves deliberately, by choosing to have fewer babies than we need to replace ourselves. In much of the developed and developing world, that decline is already underway, as urbanisation, women's empowerment, and waning religiosity lead to smaller and smaller families. In Empty Planet, Ibbitson and Bricker travel from South Florida to Sao Paulo, Seoul to Nairobi, Brussels to Delhi to Beijing, drawing on a wealth of research and firsthand reporting to illustrate the dramatic consequences of this population decline - and to show us why the rest of the developing world will soon join in. They find that a smaller global population will bring with it a number of benefits: fewer workers will command higher wages; good jobs will prompt innovation; the environment will improve; the risk of famine will wane; and falling birthrates in the developing world will bring greater affluence and autonomy for women. But enormous disruption lies ahead, too. We can already see the effects in Europe and parts of Asia, as aging populations and worker shortages weaken the economy and impose crippling demands on healthcare and vital social services. There may be earth-shaking implications on a geopolitical scale as well. Empty Planet is a hugely important book for our times. Captivating and persuasive, it is a story about urbanisation, access to education and the empowerment of women to choose their own destinies. It is about the secularisation of societies and the vital role that immigration has to play in our futures.Rigorously researched and deeply compelling, Empty Planet offers a vision of a future that we can no longer prevent - but that we can shape, if we choose to.- Shop: buecher
