        Enzymes in Farm Animal Nutrition

        by Edited by Dr Michael R Bedford, Gary G Partridge.

        From alpha-galactosidases to xylanases, Enzymes in Farm Animal Nutrition, 2nd Edition provides a comprehensive guide to all aspects associated with enzyme supplemented animal feeds. Detailing economic, environmental and technological impacts, this new edition brings the reader up to date with the considerable advances of the last decade, providing a unique insight into the current market. Chapters cover a wide range of topics using a variety of evidence from both in vitro and in vivo studies, providing a better understanding of the complex links between feed enzyme function, digestive physiology and ultimately animal performance. Particular attention is paid to new methods for the evaluation of enzyme responses, including holo-analysis. The authors provide a detailed discussion of the various enzyme classes that have been introduced into the market, exploring current use in the global industry and assessing the likely future trends and practices.

        Beef, Bible and bullets

        Brazil in the age of Bolsonaro

        by Richard Lapper, Leighton Pugh

        Backed by Brazil's wealthy agribusiness groups, a growing evangelical movement, and an emboldened military and police force, Jair Bolsonaro took office in 2019. Driven by the former army captain's brand of controversial, aggressive rhetoric, the divisive presidential campaign saw fake news and misinformation shared with Bolsonaro's tens of millions of social media followers. Bolsonaro promised simple solutions to Brazil's rising violent crime, falling living standards and widespread corruption, but what has emerged is Latin America's most right-wing president since the military dictatorships of the 1970s. Famous for his racist, homophobic and sexist beliefs and his disregard for human rights, the so-called 'Trump of the Tropics' has established a reputation based on his polemical, sensationalist statements. Written by a journalist with decades of experience in the field, Beef, Bible and bullets is a compelling account of the origins of Brazil's unique brand of right-wing populism. Lapper offers the first major assessment of the Bolsonaro government and the growing tensions between extremist and moderate conservatives.

        Invasive Birds

        Global Trends and Impacts

        by Colleen T. Downs, Lorinda A. Hart

        This book is about globally invasive alien birds. It consists of three sections. In the first section, a species account for each of the 32 global avian invader species (as listed by the Invasive Species Specialist Group, ISSG) is provided. Here experts currently conducting or who have previously researched these species provide detailed, up-to-date information of these birds and their current invasive status on a global scale, with images of the species and distribution maps. Details provided include physical description, diet, introduction and invasion pathway, breeding behaviour, habitat, impacts of species, control and any uses for this species. In the second section, avian invasions are discussed biogeographically, further highlighting aspects of current and emerging invasive species in different countries. In the third section, the ecology and impacts of avian invasive species is considered.

        Bilder der Überwachung

        by Dietmar Kammerer

        Videoüberwachung produziert Bilder, in Hollywood-Filmen wie Der Staatsfeind Nr. 1 oder Die Truman Show werden die Kameras aber auch selbst zum Bild; den Police-Song "Every Breath You Take" kann man als Hymne der Sicherheitsfetischisten interpretieren und Michel Foucaults »panoptische Gesellschaft« muß angesichts technologischer Fortschritte neu gedacht werden. Diese kulturwissenschaftliche Studie über Videoüberwachung und ihre medialen Repräsentationen führt von 1667, als der "Sonnenkönig" Louis XIV. die Straßenbeleuchtung zentralisieren ließ, bis in die Gegenwart, in der gesichtserkennende Systeme Täter aus der Menge fischen sollen, Bürgerrechtler zur Überwachung der Überwacher aufrufen und Passanten vor echten Videokameras falsches Theater spielen.
