In the last half century, North Carolina and the South have experienced rapid economic growth. Much of the best analysis of this progress came from two North Carolina-based research organizations: the Southern Growth Policies Board and MDC (originally a project of the North Carolina Fund). Their 1986 reports are two of the best assessments of the achievements and limitations of the so-called Sunbelt boom.
On November 17, 2011, the Global Research Institute at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the Institute for Emerging Issues at North Carolina State University co-hosted...

Environmental Change and Agricultural Sustainability in the Mekong Delta
ISBN: 9789400709331 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The Mekong Delta of Vietnam is one of the most productive agricultural areas in the world. The Mekong River fans out over an area of about 40,000 sq kilometers and over the course of many millennia has produced a region of fertile alluvial soils and constant flows of energy. Today about a fourth of the Delta is under rice cultivation, making this area one of the premier rice granaries in the world. The Delta has always proven a difficult environment to manipulate, however, and because of population pressures, increasing acidification of soils, and changes in the Mekong's flow,...

Seed from Madagascar
ISBN: 9780872498945 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Long before there were cobblestone streets along the Charleston battery, there was rice and there were slaves-the twin pillars upon which colonial Carolina wealth was built. But by the Civil War both began to crumble along with the planter aristocracy they supported. Seed from Madagascar chronicles the linked tragedies of the prominent Heyward family and South Carolina's rice industry while underscoring the integral role African Americans played in the fortunes of the planter class and the precious crop. As much about race as about rice, Duncan Clinch Heyward's account offers keen insights...
