 English | 2021 | ISBN: 1789248418 | 342 pages | pdf, epub | 37.2 MB Meeting future food needs without compromising environmental integrity is a central challenge for agriculture globally but especially for the Asia Pacific region â where 60% of the global population, including some of the worldâs poorest, live on only 30% of the land mass. To guarantee the food security of this and other regions, growers worldwide are rapidly adopting genetically modified (GM) crops as the forerunner to protect against many biotic and abiotic stresses. Asia Pacific countries play an important role in this, with India, China and Pakistan appearing in the top 10 countries with acreage of GM crops, primarily devoted to Bt cotton.  English | 2020 | ISBN: 0190880031 | 209 pages | pdf, epub | 6.43 MB The term "gender" was first distinguished from "sex" in the 1950s when psychologists began to discuss the idea of "gender roles," behaviors and responsibilities given to people by a society rather than flowing from their biology. Since then, leaders across disciplines have sought to better understand the roles of biology, psychology, and culture on gender. New language has emerged alongside rich scientific inquiry and research. Increased visibility of transgender and nonbinary communities has brought awareness to a range of gender diverse experiences, while legal battles, wage disparities, and health inequities continue to prove gender's relevancy in today's world. In this book, Laura Erickson-Schroth and Benjamin Davis guide readers through the knowns and unknowns of gender, asking questions such as: What is the difference between sex, gender identity, and gender expression? Were ancient societies matriarchal? How different are male and female brains, really? What role does language play in the ways we think about gender? What do we know about sex and gender in non-human species? What are the current frontiers in gender equality?

Instead of creating from the duality of the mind, we need to drop into the heart, where all creative potential energy exists.
 English | 2020 | ISBN: 1771888792 | 419 pages | pdf | 9.73 MB This new book discusses food quality and safety standards that are critically important for both developed and developing economies, where consumer safety is among the primary issues to be considered in food supply chain management. The editors consider that food safety is a multi-faceted subject, using microbiology, chemistry, standards and regulations, and risk management to address issues involving bacterial pathogens, chemical contaminants, natural toxicants, additive safety, allergens, and more; hence, the volume emphasizes the interrelationship between these areas and their equal importance in food production.  English | 2021 | ISBN: 036723257X | 426 pages | pdf | 36.88 MB Modern Flexible Multi-Body Dynamics Modeling Methodology for Flapping Wing Vehiclespresents research on the implementation of a flexible multi-body dynamic representation of a flapping wing ornithopter that considers aero-elasticity. This effort brings advances in the understanding of flapping wing flight physics and dynamics that ultimately leads to an improvement in the performance of such flight vehicles, thus reaching their high performance potential. In using this model, it is necessary to reduce body accelerations and forces of an ornithopter vehicle, as well as to improve the aerodynamic performance and enhance flight kinematics and forces which are the design optimization objectives.

Fit to Be Well, Sixth Edition takes a behavior-change approach to communicating healthy diet and exercise habits while deploying both a workbook and pedagogical features that teach students how to become smart consumers of health news. It provides students with the tools they need to reach the goal of good health and fitness--regardless of their age or physical condition--by delving into exercise, proper nutrition, and stress management. The content in Fit to Be Well is organized in a succinct, easy-to-navigate manner that allows students to become more aware of each aspect of a physically fit lifestyle. Using a wealth of special features and online learning tools, the text encourages students to improve their eating habits by incorporating healthier foods into their diet, increasing their level of physical activity, keeping their body composition and weight at a healthy level, increasing their self-esteem, and reducing stress. An integrated lab manual, found at the end of the text, helps students build and implement a fitness program that will work with their individual needs and schedules  English | 2021 | ISBN: 1624669921 | 303 pages | True PDF | 42.81 MB "In his introduction to this most welcome republication (and second edition) of his logic text, Heil clarifies his aim in writing and revising this book: 'I believe that anyone unfamiliar with the subject who set out to learn formal logic could do so relying solely on [this] book. That, in any case, is what I set out to create in writingAn Introduction to First-Order Logic.' Heil has certainly accomplished this with perhapsthe most explanatorily thorough and pedagogically rich text I've personally come across.
