Book Synopsis Basic Biotechnology by : Colin Ratledge
Download or read book Basic Biotechnology written by Colin Ratledge and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-05-25 with total page 653 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biotechnology is one of the major technologies of the twenty-first century. Its wide-ranging, multi-disciplinary activities include recombinant DNA techniques, cloning and the application of microbiology to the production of goods from bread to antibiotics. In this new edition of the textbook Basic Biotechnology, biology and bioprocessing topics are uniquely combined to provide a complete overview of biotechnology. The fundamental principles that underpin all biotechnology are explained and a full range of examples are discussed to show how these principles are applied; from starting substrate to final product. A distinctive feature of this text are the discussions of the public perception of biotechnology and the business of biotechnology, which set the science in a broader context. This comprehensive textbook is essential reading for all students of biotechnology and applied microbiology, and for researchers in biotechnology industries.

Book Synopsis A Grain of Truth by : Susanna Hornig Priest
Download or read book A Grain of Truth written by Susanna Hornig Priest and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2002-07-15 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Grain of Truth debunks the myth that growing public distrust of genetically modified organisms can be attributed to scientific illiteracy or sensationalistic news stories. Arguing neither for nor against genetic engineering and other forms of biotechnology, this book charges both media and industry with ignoring the concerns of the general public and encourages greater public debate over biotech and other such complex issues.
Book Synopsis A model for communication about biotechnology by : Bev France
Download or read book A model for communication about biotechnology written by Bev France and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book incorporates two major themes into a model for communication about biotechnology. The first is that of a communicating community, defined as a relatively coherent social group engaging in communication within itself. As biotechnologists do not constitute a unitary group, this book refers to biotechnology communities. Similarly, the broad notion of ‘the public’ is considered to be inadequate, and the notion of distinct public communities is used. The members of each community are considered to have a view of biotechnology made up of their understandings of the nature of science of biotechnology, understandings of the key concepts and models used in biotechnology, perceptions of the nature of risk, and beliefs and attitudes about biotechnology. The second major theme is that of search space. This is the intersection, in a virtual arena, of the components of the ‘views’ of two communities. Where there are elements that are in common to the two, communication in terms of them is possible. Where there is no commonality, the degrees of understanding reached must be used to construct a mutual understanding that may evolve into an agreement.

Book Synopsis Preparing for Future Products of Biotechnology by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Preparing for Future Products of Biotechnology written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1973 and 2016, the ways to manipulate DNA to endow new characteristics in an organism (that is, biotechnology) have advanced, enabling the development of products that were not previously possible. What will the likely future products of biotechnology be over the next 5â€"10 years? What scientific capabilities, tools, and/or expertise may be needed by the regulatory agencies to ensure they make efficient and sound evaluations of the likely future products of biotechnology? Preparing for Future Products of Biotechnology analyzes the future landscape of biotechnology products and seeks to inform forthcoming policy making. This report identifies potential new risks and frameworks for risk assessment and areas in which the risks or lack of risks relating to the products of biotechnology are well understood.

Book Synopsis Biotechnology, 1996-2000 by : George Gaskell
Download or read book Biotechnology, 1996-2000 written by George Gaskell and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the period 1996-2000, the International Research Group on Biotechnology and the Public has continued its systematic research in investigating the relations between policy making, media coverage and public perceptions. This book presents a timely and detailed mapping of the public reception of biotechnology in 14 European countries, the USA and Canada. It includes time-series analysis of public attitudes interpreted in the context of media coverage and policy making. Since 1996, biotechnology has been the focus of wide-ranging controversies and has achieved enormous public prominence. There have been dramatic developments, such as the commercial exploitation of genetically-modified (GM) crops and foods, which resulted in supermarket boycotts of GM ingredients and conflicts among European Union institutions and member states. Contrasting views on the risks associated with GM foods have attracted the interest of the US government and World Trade Organization, leading to threats of a transatlantic trade war. In the mass media, coverage of biotechnology moved from scientific articles to editorials, news and political sections. Will be of interest to social scientists, researchers, industrialists, activists and policy makers.

Book Synopsis Fighting for the Future of Food by : Rachel Schurman
Download or read book Fighting for the Future of Food written by Rachel Schurman and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2013-11-30 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When scientists working in the agricultural biotechnology industry first altered the genetic material of one organism by introducing genes from an entirely different organism, the reaction was generally enthusiastic. To many, these genetically modified organisms (GMOs) promised to solve the challenges faced by farmers and to relieve world hunger. Yet within a decade, this “gene revolution” had abruptly stalled. Widespread protests against the potential dangers of “Frankenfoods” and the patenting of seed supplies in the developing world forced the industry to change course. As a result, in the late 1990s, some of the world’s largest firms reduced their investment in the agricultural sector, narrowed their focus to a few select crops, or sold off their agricultural divisions altogether. Fighting for the Future of Food tells the story of how a small group of social activists, working together across tables, continents, and the Internet, took on the biotech industry and achieved stunning success. Rachel Schurman and William A. Munro detail how the anti-biotech movement managed to alter public perceptions about GMOs and close markets to such products. Drawing strength from an alternative worldview that sustained its members’ sense of urgency and commitment, the anti-GMO movement exploited political opportunities created by the organization and culture of the biotechnology industry itself. Fighting for the Future of Food ultimately addresses society’s understanding and trust (or mistrust) of technological innovation and the complexities of the global agricultural system that provides our food.
