        Coffee Wilt Disease

        by G J. Hakiza, Adugna Girma, Deusdedit L. Kilambo, Richard Musebe, Michael A. Rutherford, Noah Phiri, P.C. Musoli, E. Negussi, Adrien Kalonji-Mbuyi. Edited by Julie Flood.

        Coffee Wilt Disease has cost African coffee farmers an estimated US$1 billion to date, resulting from reduced yields and the extra costs incurred in trying to manage the disease. This devastating fungal disease has destroyed millions of coffee trees in affected countries across Africa and will be a contributory factor in any attempt at revitalization of the African coffee sector in the future. This book is one of the outputs of the Regional Coffee Wilt Programme and is a compilation of the current knowledge of various aspects of CWD, including information about the pathogen, its spread and importantly its management.

        Coffee Pests, Diseases and their Management

        by M Bigger, Rory J Hillocks. Edited by Jim M Waller.

        Price collapse and oversupply have made coffee a high-profile crop in recent years: never has efficient production and crop protection been more important for reducing costs and increasing quality. Packed with illustrations, this book covers the origins, botany, agroecology and worldwide production statistics of coffee, and the insect pests, plant pathogens, nematodes and nutrient deficiencies that afflict it. With emphasis on integrated crop management, this book reviews control measures suitable for any coffee pest or disease and will enable agriculturists to design and implement sustainable pest management systems.

        Disease Resistance in Wheat

        by Edited by Indu Sharma.

        Disease resistance is one of the major factors that can be improved to sustain yield potential in cultivated crops. This book looks at disease resistance in wheat, concentrating on all the economically important diseases - their economic impact and geographical spread, breeding for resistance, pathogen variability, resistance mechanisms and recent advances made on resistance genes. Newer strategies for identifying resistance genes and identify resistance mechanisms are discussed, including cloning, gene transfer and the use of genetically modified plants.

        Molecular Breeding in Wheat, Maize and Sorghum

        Strategies for Improving Abiotic Stress Tolerance and Yield

        by Mohammad Anwar Hossain, Mobashwer Alam, Saman Seneweera, Sujay Rakshit, Robert Henry

        The global population is projected to reach almost 10 billion by 2050, and food and feed production will need to increase by 70%. Wheat, maize and sorghum are three key cereals which provide nutrition for the majority of the world's population. Their production is affected by various abiotic stresses which cause significant yield losses. The effects of climate change also increase the frequency and severity of such abiotic stresses. Molecular breeding technologies offer real hope for improving crop yields. Although significant progress has been made over the last few years, there is still a need to bridge the large gap between yields in the most favorable and most stressful conditions. This book: - Provides a valuable resource for wheat, maize and sorghum scientists working on breeding and molecular biology, physiology and biotechnology. - Presents the latest in-depth research in the area of abiotic stress tolerance and yield improvements. - Contains the necessary information to allow plant breeders to apply this research to effectively breed new varieties of these crops. It provides a consolidated reference for plant breeders and crop scientists working on the challenges of enhanced crop productivity and climate change adaptability.

        Coffee, Cocoa and Tea

        by Ken C Willson

        While botanically quite different, coffee, cocoa and tea are often considered together in the teaching of students of horticulture or agriculture. This is because all three represent plantation cash crops that are used as stimulant beverages and are grown in many of the warmer, less developed regions of the world. While there are a number of specialist books available on aspects of each individual crop, as well as grower manuals focusing on particular regions, there is currently no book that provides a general introductory overview of the scientific principles underlying production of all three crops. This book fills this gap, and will serve as a broad-based text for students of agriculture, horticulture and food science, as well as professionals seeking an overview of the topic.

        »Ich habe etwas zu sagen«

        Frauen, die das Wort ergreifen

        by Rita Kohlmaier, Stevie Schmiedel

        Immer mehr Frauen wagen den öffentlichen Protest und den Aufstand: Gemeinsam marschieren sie und protestieren gegen ungleiche Bezahlung und ungleiche Bildungschancen, eine übermächtige Waffenlobby, Rassismus oder sexuelle Gewalt. Sie ergreifen das Wort und ihre klaren Botschaften inspirieren (nicht nur) Mädchen und Frauen, Haltung zu beziehen und sich für ihre Rechte deutlicher denn je einzusetzen. In diesem Buch werden charismatische, unbequeme und couragierte Frauen vorgestellt, die mit ihren Reden und öffentlichen Aktionen die Welt verändert haben oder genau jetzt verändern. Viel zu lange haben Frauen nur gelesen und geschrieben und wirkten lange im Hintergrund oder ganz im Verborgenen. Väter, Brüder, der liebe Gott und eine patriarchale Politik bestimmten über ihr Wohl und Wehe, ihren Körper und Geist, ihren Freiraum und dessen Begrenzung. Schluss damit! Mitreißend geschriebene Porträts über Michelle Obama, Angelina Jolie, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Malala Yousafzai, Oprah Winfrey, Emma González, ebenso über Rosa Luxemburg, Waltraud Schoppe, Rosa Parks u. v. m.

        Feline Reproduction

        by Aime Johnson, Michelle Kutzler

        The Patient Catchers

        How we are talked into illness

        by Michelle Hildebrandt

        The health market seems to have been unleashed, more and more actors, indications, methods compete for attention. Dr. Michelle Hildebrandt shows how companies, but also doctors and alternative medicine are “catching” patients out of economic interests – and how we are happy to put up with that. So more and more people are being treated unnecessarily or incorrectly with medicine and therapies, while at the same time rogue providers are propagating sometimes dangerous methods instead of calling for life-saving diagnostics. Knowledge is needed in order for patients to overcome their self-inflicted immaturity. Michelle Hildebrandt‘s book makes an important contribution to this.
