ISBN: 9780262525053 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 402 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Standards are the means by which we construct realities. There are established standards for professional accreditation, the environment, consumer products, animal welfare, the acceptable stress for highway bridges, healthcare, education -- for almost everything. We are surrounded by a vast array of standards, many of which we take for granted but each of which has been and continues to be the subject of intense negotiation. In this book, Lawrence Busch investigates standards as "recipes for reality." Standards, he argues, shape not only the physical world around us but also our social...

ISBN: 9780367290023 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The State Agricultural Experiment Stations have played a fundamental role in the development of science and agriculture in the United States.

Agricultural research and the new technology it helped to generate were major factors in the transformation of U.S. agriculture into a high technology, mechanized, science-based industry. Moreover, the experiment stations, as the first large-scale, publicly...

ISBN: 9780367286712 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 303 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Although the U.S. agricultural research system is highly esteemed and used as a model for national programs in many developing countries, surprisingly little is known about its operation, which has been publicly funded for nearly a century. This book describes the structure of that system and examines the many factors that influence the choices of research problems by agricultural scientists working within it. The authors show how the research system has evolved through a complex set of negotiations into its present form. They then examine how individuals, organizations, and disciplines...

Making Nature, Shaping Culture: Plant Biodiversity in Global Context
ISBN: 9780803212565 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 261 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. For ages, farmers have domesticated plant varieties, while scientists have made nature through hybridization and other processes. This give and take mediated through negotiations, persuasion, the marketplace, and even coercion has resulted in what we call nature and has led to a homogenization of plant crops. Yet homogenization has led to new problems: genetic vulnerability, and the lack of systems to maintain plant germplasm of varieties no longer grown in the fields.This book addresses issues previously viewed as primarily technical concerning the germplasm debate: that is, how, what, and...
