Book Synopsis Genetically Modified Democracy by : Aniket Aga
Download or read book Genetically Modified Democracy written by Aniket Aga and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-23 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the debate over genetically modified crops in India is transforming science and politics Genetically modified or transgenic crops are controversial across the world. Advocates see such crops as crucial to feeding the world’s growing population; critics oppose them for pushing farmers deeper into ecological and economic distress, and for shoring up the power of agribusinesses. India leads the world in terms of the intensity of democratic engagement with transgenic crops. Anthropologist Aniket Aga excavates the genealogy of conflicts of interest and disputes over truth that animate the ongoing debate in India around the commercial release of transgenic food crops. The debate may well transform agriculture and food irreversibly in a country already witness to widespread agrarian distress, and over 300,000 suicides by farmers in the last two decades. Aga illustrates how state, science, and agrarian capitalism interact in novel ways to transform how democracy is lived and understood, and sheds light on the dynamics of technological change in populous, unequal polities.

Book Synopsis Parents of Invention by : Christopher Brown-Syed
Download or read book Parents of Invention written by Christopher Brown-Syed and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-06-07 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating tale of the rise and fall of mini-computer-based integrated library systems (ILS) offers both an explanation of the technical workings—still being used daily—and a historical investigation. Parents of Invention: The Development of Library Automation Systems in the Late 20th Century traces the rise and fall of mini-computer-based ILS. In doing so, it offers an insider's view of the process of creation, the technical challenges, and the lasting contributions of librarians and programmers at a time when librarians and their automation needs forced computer companies to innovate. Organized around a series of interviews with computer programmers, librarians, and salespeople, the book discusses developments from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s, focusing on the 1980s when both ILS and the mini-computer were dominant. It documents the time when a small group of computing vendors joined with large libraries around the world to perfect systems that automated functions such as circulation, acquisitions, cataloging, and online public access catalogs. A concluding chapter, contributed by Louise O'Neill, brings the story up to date with a discussion of current developments in library automation, including the adoption of open-source systems, open-access principles, and the Semantic Web.

Book Synopsis The Sale of a Country by : Shelley Ann Clark
Download or read book The Sale of a Country written by Shelley Ann Clark and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-11 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sale of a Country is a riveting account of what took place behind the scenes at the Canadian Free Trade Negotiations Offi ce. Shrouded in a veil of secrecy, clandestine meetings, midnight shredding of briefi ng books and key working papers, there was still time for the creation of a "SEX PIT". The man who was parachuted in by former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney to do the deed was a sexual predator. His need for sex led to carelessness and bad judgment that almost destroyed the Prime Minister's plan to leave a legacy that he was the one who had achieved a Free Trade Agreement with one of the world's most powerful countries, the United States of America, where everyone else had failed.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This inventory provides profiles, tables, and listings describing automated library activities at 103 Association of Research Libraries (ARL) institutions. The inventory includes analyses of aggregate information from individual library profiles which are then divided into three categories that reflect primarily bibliographic functions: (1) technical services (acquisitions, fund accounting, authority control, cataloging/local, cataloging/utility, serials receipt control, data conversion); (2) public services (interlibrary loan, online searching, CD-ROM, online catalogs, circulation, reserve, materials booking, document delivery, public computing); and (3) office automation (electronic mail, report generation, financial reporting). The individual library profiles present information on the operating status of automated functions, number of stations, scope, and access, and vendors for the selected functions. A copy of the survey instrument, which includes a descriptive factors list and a listing of functions, is appended. (MAB)

Book Synopsis Innovation Dynamics and Policy in the Energy Sector by : Milton L. Holloway
Download or read book Innovation Dynamics and Policy in the Energy Sector written by Milton L. Holloway and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2021-05-06 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovation Dynamics and Policy in the Energy Sector discusses the process and future of global innovation in the energy sector based on the innovation leadership example of Texas. The book proposes that the positive dynamics of Texas energy sector innovations arises from a confluence of factors, including supportive institutions, the management of technological change, competitive markets, astute public policy, intraindustrial collaboration, a cultural focus on change and risk-taking, and natural resource abundance. Heavily case-study focused chapters review the fundamental drivers of innovation, from key discoveries at Spindletop; the proliferation of oil production through major field development; through electric sector deregulation; and recent innovation in hydraulic fracking, renewable integration, and carbon capture. The work closes to argue that sustainable global innovation addressing the twin challenges of climate change and the energy transition must be driven by the promotion of competition and risk-taking which continually promotes the development of ideas, a process jointly funded by the public and private sectors and supported by collaborative and competitive institutions. Reviews the fundamental drivers of energy innovation and examines each driver through 10 key episodes in the Texas energy innovation experience, inclusive of guidance to the international research community based on their example. Establishes the critical impact of constructive energy policy, energy technology, and power markets in cultural settings that invite change and risk-taking and proposes them as key factors in building sustainable innovation. Consolidates current research and practice related to innovation from the perspectives of established (economics and engineering) and emergent (innovation economics and econometrics) disciplines.
Book Synopsis DEVELOPMENT MISPLACED by : Krishan Bir Chaudhary
Download or read book DEVELOPMENT MISPLACED written by Krishan Bir Chaudhary and published by PartridgeIndia. This book was released on 2014-04 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book "Development Misplaced" is an important record of behind the scene pressures on India's farmers brought on by a small group of multinational companies [MNCs]. Their manipulations are unknown to farmers and consumers. These companies control global markets in seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, food grains, and common foods. Their sole aim is to take complete control over global agriculture, food production and distribution. to add to India's woes, our political leaders, planners and scientists have become a pawn in the hands of these MNCs. the book exposes Indian establishment's compulsive and habitual lying. the foreword written by Dr. GVG Krishnamurty, former Election Commissioner of India, precisely summarizes different sections in the book. Readers should note that a person can live without food for about seven days before the body's vital organs and systems start collapsing but it takes a full season-from seventy to 120 days- to grow food crops. an important contribution of the author is that he has devoted an entire section on Genetically Engineered seeds. GE seeds are almost entirely controlled by about seven multinational corporations. the food crops that are produced from these seeds have proven to be poisonous in every independent study carried out in Russia, UK, France, and the USA. Every study has shown that these foods cause cancers, vital organ failures and sterility. Cattle grazing on Genetically Engineered cotton fields have died within days and the deaths occurred from stable toxins in the blood. This Government in league with MNCs, led by world's largest seed company Monsanto, wants to feed this nation poison. It is a huge issue, an issue of our survival as a healthy nation. Along with destruction of human health, these MNCs are destroying soil health, environmental health and animal health. the author has done well to expose the behind the scene pressures of these MNCs to change the regulatory framework, create monopolistic control over seed supply, force farmers to leave farming and dismantle India's thousands of years of food and nutrition security. India's food and nutritional security, built over thousands of years of painstaking effort by farmers, is being completely undermined by a group that is determined to starve India, force a proud nation on its knees, and once again enslave this nation. In essence, the book is about that process of enslavement.
Book Synopsis The Integrated Medical Library by : Ms. Helis Miido
Download or read book The Integrated Medical Library written by Ms. Helis Miido and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-04-15 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1991, Library automation has advanced at such a rapid pace within the last few years that librarians who have been limited by either budget or hardware constraints are today able to automate at least some library functions. Even though presentations at meetings describing individual efforts have been published in the literature, there has not been a comprehensive text discussing the status of integration at all levels of library management as it exists today. The Integrated Medical Library addresses this need by presenting the results of a survey of automated systems currently used in medical libraries as a basis on which to discuss various methods for integrating these systems. This includes serials, cataloging, circulation, acquisitions, internal database management systems, external database search procedures, and management and financial control. The book emphasizes current practices and procedures and proposes methods for libraries to improve their performance and services. Part I defines an integrated online library system and describes the study design and analysis of results. Part II describes commercially available integrated online library systems currently used by medical libraries. Part III discusses the specialized integrated online library systems of the U.S. National Library of Medicine and the Swedish Planning and Rationalization Institute for the Health and Social Services. Part IV describes ad hoc integrated functions currently used by medical libraries, while Part V discusses the various means of integration.
