Download or read book Domesticated Land written by and published by Mack. This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'Domesticated Land' Susan Lipper navigates an apocalyptic world poised between inertia and the end of mankind, somewhere in the California desert. Uncannily tranquil, the landscape offers a trans-historical litany of monuments, icons and signs from which the author and protagonist constructs a narrative interspersed with the words of historic and contemporary women. Putting female subjectivity into relief, Lipper obfuscates the romantic notion of the desert as a land of freedom and self-enlightenment. A lone snake, a dilapidated home, the remains of a cinematic stage set, the head of a fallen woman, a military base, barbed wire: such facts create action, and one that serves as an unnerving political admonition concerning the current state of America.

Book Synopsis Principles Of Genetics And Plant Breeding by : Dr. Manoj Kumar Sharma
Download or read book Principles Of Genetics And Plant Breeding written by Dr. Manoj Kumar Sharma and published by AG PUBLISHING HOUSE (AGPH Books). This book was released on with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students majoring in genetics & plant breeding are expected to have in-depth knowledge of both historical and contemporary advancements in the fields of genetics, plant breeding, and biotechnology. Major components such as fundamental genetics, quantitative genetics, cytogenetics, plant breeding, quantitative genetics,molecular biology, and biotechnology have been given equal weight in the course's evolution and development at the graduate level. Principles of the Genetics, Gene Regulation, as well as "Genetic Control of Plant Reproduction" are just a few of the courses offered in Genetics. Similarly, courses like fundamentals of cytogenetics, crop cytogenetics & genome analysis, as well as applied cytegentics were designed to cover all aspects of cytogenetics. The fundamentals of plant breeding, as well as methods for improving specific crops, stress tolerance, quality enhancement, mutagenesis, and population genetics, are covered in a variety of courses. Considering the goals and procedures in plant breeding process, innovation gives the tools to obtain higher benefits, boost efficiency, and speed up time to market for better cultivars. The innovation may take the form of the new genetic technologies which may involve the creation or assembly of the genetic diversity, the production of progenythe to be evaluated, structures as well as schemes to facilitate the choice of superior genotypes, or even systems to enable the delivery of the superior performance to farmers.

Book Synopsis Expanded Practice: Höweler + Yoon Architecture/My Studio by : J. Meejin Yoon
Download or read book Expanded Practice: Höweler + Yoon Architecture/My Studio written by J. Meejin Yoon and published by Princeton Architectural Press. This book was released on 2009-07-14 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rising stars in Boston's design scene, architects Eric Howeler and J. Meejin Yoon have in a single decade developed a reputation for radical experiments in architectural form. Their design methodology--what they call an "expanded practice"--combines intense research with interdisciplinary experimentation. Howeler and Yoon's sensational, competition-winning lighting entry for the 2004 Athens Olympics exemplifies their fearless approach: without any prior experience in public space interactive design, the firm constructed a luminous, interactive soundscape installation at the base of the Acropolis. White Noise White Light featured a field of semiflexible fiber-optic strands that emitted white light and white noise in response to the movement of pedestrians. The project, an enormous success, enchanted a multitude of visitors who moved amidst the cilia of light. Expanded Practice presents twenty-nine recent projects by this young firm encompassing a broad range of scales and media. The projects, divided into distinct but often overlapping research themes, include a museum courtyard program inspired by the Voronoi cell-packing algorithm (PS1 Loop); an outdoor light installation featuring hovering cones that capture and interact with solar energy, rainwater, and sound (Hover); a garment designed to turn inside out as it unravels (Mobius Dress); and a landscape design that weaves technology and texture into an integrated and interactive landscape (Tripanel). Packed with drawings, diagrams, and photographs of each project's design process, Expanded Practice provides an inspirational look into one of the most exciting young firms working in architecture today.

Download or read book Earnest written by Andrew C. Koehl and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-08-29 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: B. T. Roberts was born in a small farming community in western New York, on July 25, 1823. By the time of his death in 1893, he had made a profound impact on church and society. Roberts’s writing, preaching, and ministry focused on true conversion, the disciplines of the Christian life, and holiness. Rejecting “prosperity theology,” he argued for simplicity, generosity, and mission. A prophet of dissent, he vigorously promoted abolition, prohibition, economic justice, and the equality of women. Along the way, he founded Free Methodism and an educational institution that is thriving 150 years later. Roberts exhibited rare and impeccably balanced traits. He displayed the courage and boldness to dissent, as well as the political savvy and communication skills to bring people together. He was a visionary who displayed patience, tact, and pragmatism. His idealism did not obliterate his attention to details and crucial distinctions. He made people feel loved, respected, and challenged; he was authentic. In his dealings in church and world, we see creativity and flexibility grounded in integrity. Earnest settles in to the particularities of this life well lived, showing the human spirit, divine power, and practicalities of progress. Contributors include: David Basinger Doug Cullum Elvera Berry Jack Connell Matthew Moore Timothy Vandebrake Susanne Mohnkern Richard Middleton Jeffrey McPherson Andrew Koehl Lori Sousa Rod Bassett
Book Synopsis Domesticated: Evolution in a Man-Made World by : Richard C. Francis
Download or read book Domesticated: Evolution in a Man-Made World written by Richard C. Francis and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2015-05-25 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An essential read for anyone interested in the stories of the animals in our home or on our plate.”—BBC Focus Without our domesticated plants and animals, human civilization as we know it would not exist. We would still be living at subsistence level as hunter-gatherers if not for domestication. It is no accident that the cradle of civilization—the Middle East—is where sheep, goats, pigs, cattle, and cats commenced their fatefully intimate association with humans. Before the agricultural revolution, there were perhaps 10 million humans on earth. Now there are more than 7 billion of us. Our domesticated species have also thrived, in stark contrast to their wild ancestors. In a human-constructed environment—or man-made world—it pays to be domesticated. Domestication is an evolutionary process first and foremost. What most distinguishes domesticated animals from their wild ancestors are genetic alterations resulting in tameness, the capacity to tolerate close human proximity. But selection for tameness often results in a host of seemingly unrelated by-products, including floppy ears, skeletal alterations, reduced aggression, increased sociality, and reduced brain size. It's a package deal known as the domestication syndrome. Elements of the domestication syndrome can be found in every domesticated species—not only cats, dogs, pigs, sheep, cattle, and horses but also more recent human creations, such as domesticated camels, reindeer, and laboratory rats. That domestication results in this suite of changes in such a wide variety of mammals is a fascinating evolutionary story, one that sheds much light on the evolutionary process in general. We humans, too, show signs of the domestication syndrome, which some believe was key to our evolutionary success. By this view, human evolution parallels the evolution of dogs from wolves, in particular. A natural storyteller, Richard C. Francis weaves history, archaeology, and anthropology to create a fascinating narrative while seamlessly integrating the most cutting-edge ideas in twenty-first-century biology, from genomics to evo-devo.
