Science under Scarcity is an invaluable guide to the theory and methods necessary for evaluating research in agriculture and for setting priorities for resource allocation.

This book reviews the latest developments in such soil erosion studies. These are considered on a matrix of scales, from plot to river basin, and from farm to national policy. Some chapters review background issues while others consider specific methods.

This book is an essential companion volume to Quarantine Pests for Europe, 2nd Edition and Illustrations of Quarantine Pests for Europe. Coverage extends to insects, mites, nematodes, fungi, bacteria, viruses and parasitic plants.

This book has been developed from presentations at a conference held in California in August 1997 to address the advances in genetic engineering in farmed animals. Current knowledge, methodology, technical improvements and successes in the applications of transgenic technology to animals which are important in agriculture are brought together.

It contains the latest research which integrates theory with practice, including two new diagnostic tools developed by the authors, the Strategic Planning Index (SPI) and Marketing Planning Index (MPI).

The book contains sections on survey methods, ex ante research evaluation and priority setting, and patterns of maize technology diffusion and the impact of research. It concludes with a synthesis of the MDBP results and assessment of future choices.

This book examines the role of grass in milk production in sustainable agricultural ecosystems. It provides a current summary of the role of grass in dairy cattle systems, including the breeding, management, storage, feeding and economics of grass for both lactating and dry dairy cows.

Using a combination of narrative, analysis and case studies, this text traces the origins of electronic distribution in tourism and places current developments in context, while also looking at developing technologies and assessing their potential effect on the industry of the future.

This book contains papers on the latest research on energy metabolism and other aspects of physiology of farmed animals, including a comprehensive review of the current state of research on leptins and their potential applications.

This book uses a new institutional economics perspective to review the effects of market liberalisation on service provision to smallholder farmers. Using case studies, it investigates the conditions required for sustainable private sector investment to the benefit of rural people.

This book is the product of a conference, held in California in April 1997, under the auspices of the Agricultural Biotechnology for Sustainable Productivity (ABSP) project. It provides a broad overview of the latest research and applications and policy requirements for biotechnology in developing countries.

This book provides a broad review of recent developments in this important and expanding subject. Both agricultural and natural host-pathogen situations are addressed.

The broad spectrum of topics provides a multidisciplinary reference source within mycology and the book will be suitable for postgraduate students and research scientists in applied mycology, including plant pathology, medical mycology and biological control.

This book examines the changing relationships between tourism and host cultures and explores the reasons why and how conflicts emerge, in a series of detailed case studies from many parts of the globe. Initiatives and good practices are highlighted whereby conflict can be replaced by consensus and situations improved through effective management.

This book is a synthesis of current practical knowledge and underpinning scientific research on PCN globally, in which the biology, detection, identification and control options (including plant resistance) for PCN are examined. In addition, its worldwide status is considered, including South America, where PCN co-evolved with its potato host.

This book written by acknowledged experts working or with experience in tropical countries, gives clear, concise and up to date knowledge and understanding on all aspects of Sexually Transmitted Infections.

Based principally on 25 years research by the authors, the ideas presented in this book are essential reading for crop physiologists and plant breeders.

This authoritative volume reviews the subject in a style which is comprehensible to the non-specialist. Contributions by leading authorities review avian meat science from basic meat structure and function, colour, texture and flavour, through to practical aspects of production, harvesting and slaughter factors affecting meat quality.

This book is essential reading for ecologists, conservationists, landscape historians, foresters and geographers. It will also be of interest to advanced students in these areas.

This book is essential reading for plant ecologists and physiologists who have an interest in hyperaccumulators, environmental consultants specialising in land restoration, and exploration geochemists.

The product of considerable field research in Brazil by the author, this book presents a positive perspective on a highly controversial topic, in a uniquely systematic way and with far-reaching implications.

This book is a complete account of the Hurley Pasture Model, a dynamic, deterministic, mechanistic simulation model for grassland, which has been developed by the author over some twenty years, in collaboration with scientists at several centres.

This book presents revised papers from a workshop held at the University of Hohenheim in September 1996 with the theme "Policy measures to control environmental impacts from agriculture". The perspective is an economic one, reviewing economic valuation of the benefits of agricultural landscapes and the costs and benefits of wildlife conservation.

This report is a comprehensive review of published information on the body composition and digestive physiology of temperate zone goats, the composition of their products, meat, milk and fibre, their voluntary feed intake, and their associated energy, protein, mineral and vitamin requirements.

This book presents, uniquely, all aspects of our current knowledge, drawn from such diverse disciplines as physiological ecology, poultry production, zoo biology and biomedical science. The physical and biochemical processes of digestion, the metabolic functions of nutrients and the diversity of evolutionary adaptations are examined in depth.

The major temperate forage legumes are of global importance in the sustainable productivity of ruminant feed in the developed world. This book brings together in one volume all aspects of their basic biology and associated production practices.

This book presents an international perspective on rural employment and has been developed from selected papers presented at a conference held in Quebec, Canada, in October 1995 and organized by the Canadian Rural Restructuring Foundation.
