The Language of Tourism a Sociolinguistic Perspective
ISBN: 9780851989990 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Languages convey messages, have a heuristic or semantic content, and operate through a conventional system of symbols and codes. In this book, it is shown that tourism, in the act of promotion, as well as in the accounts of its practitioners and clients, has a discourse of its own. The language of tourism is however much more than just a metaphor. Through pictures, brochures and other media, the language of tourism attempts to seduce millions of people into becoming tourists and subsequently to control their attitudes and behaviour. Tourists, in turn, contribute further to this language...

Recreational and Environmental Markets for Forest Enterprises
ISBN: 9780851994802 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 558 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. It is now increasingly recognized that forests have multiple functions, and can provide opportunities for leisure, recreation and tourism, and other environmental benefits, as well as timber. In general, such -public goods- are assumed not to be marketable. However, this book challenges this assumption, and shows how these issues can be tackled from an economics and marketing perspective.
The work is based on an EU-funded project, conducted from four university or research centers: Hamburg (Germany), Padua (Italy), Vienna (Austria) and Wageningen (The Netherlands). Many case...

Sampling and Monitoring in Crop Protection: The Theoretical Basis for Designing Practical Decision Guides
ISBN: 9780851993478 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book covers the statistical concepts of sampling in agricultural pest management. These can be summarized as how to obtain sample data from the field and how to use the data in decision-making. Options may include introducing natural enemies, spraying with pesticide, or adopting a wait-and-see approach. Some prior knowledge of pests and how they interact with crops is required of the reader, but only minimal mathematical background is assumed. Worked examples using the mathematical software program Mathcad are also included.

Aphelenchida, Longidoridae and Trichodoridae: Their Systematics and Bionomics
ISBN: 9780851987583 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Aphelenchida, Longidoridae and Trichodoridae are groups of nematodes that include almost 1,000 species from some 40 genera. A number are of known agricultural importance, both in their own right as parasites of fungi or higher plants and/or as vectors of certain plant viruses. While monographs exist on the systematics and taxonomy of a number of nematode groups, no recent volume covers the three groups included here.
This book aims to provide a practical, working guide to the taxa of the Aphelenchida, Longidoridae and Trichodoridae, in such a form as to facilitate usage by...

Plant Breeding and Whole-System Crop Physiology: Improving Adaptation, Maturity and Yield
ISBN: 9780851992655 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Improvements in adaptation and maturity leading to greater yield are the most important criteria for the acceptance of a new crop cultivar, since it is the yield which dictates the economic value of the crop. Therefore, yield improvement is one goal of virtually every crop breeding program. Many such programs have tended to concentrate on identifying the genetic traits responsible for higher yield and selecting each of them in the later stages of the breeding cycle. However, selection for yield per se is still the most effective method, since it is a combination of traits, operating within...

The Development of Brain and Behaviour in the Chicken
ISBN: 9780851989242 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. As a model organism, the chick has provided valuable insights into broad issues of development in higher animals. The complex interactions between genetic, hormonal and environmental factors which occur in the developing chick provide a potent argument against unitary causal explanations for differences in behavior. Study of the behavior of the chick is also relevant to poultry science and the welfare of domesticated birds. This book reviews research on the development of brain and behavior in the chick and juxtaposes this with similar work on other avian and, to a lesser extent, mammalian...

Mites: Ecology, Evolution and Behaviour
ISBN: 9780851993751 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. There are over 40,000 named species of mite, and if estimates for unnamed species are included, then up to 1 million may grace the planet. By comparison, there are approximately 40,000 species of vertebrates, half of them fish, alive today. Mites are predators, parasites, herbivores and detritivores. They live in the dark depths of the ocean, in the lungs of birds, on the leaves of rainforest plants, and in human clothes and bedding. They are vectors of disease, vital players in soil formation, and important agents of biological control. Despite the grand diversity of mites, these small...

The Formation of Modern Kurdish Society in Iran: Modernity, Modernization and Social Change 1921-1979
ISBN: 9780755642243 / Angielski / Twarda / 2021 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Although the Kurds have attracted widespread international attention, Iranian Kurdistan has been largely overlooked. This book examines the consequences of modernity and modernisation for Iran’s Kurdish society in the 20th century. Marouf Cabi argues that while state-led modernisation integrated the Kurds in modern Iran, the homogenisation of identity and culture also resulted in their vigorous pursuit of their political and cultural rights. Focusing on the dual process of state-led modernisation and homogenisation of identity and culture, Cabi examines the consequences of modernity and...

Coffee, Cocoa and Tea

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...
