At the end of the 1990s, the commercial release of Roundup Ready (RR) soybean triggered a heated debate over the introduction of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in Brazilian agriculture, which developed into an open political conflict opposing pro- and anti-GMOs groups in Brazilian society. This volume examines some of the structuring axes of this conflict by applying a narrative analysis of political conflict. ![]() Free Download Transforming the Hong Kong Legal Machine: Gender and Familial Law in Jurisprudence by Man-Chung Chiu English | 2022 | ISBN: 9811912718 | 192 Pages | True PDF | 5.2 MB ![]() Free Download Transforming Unequal Gender Relations in India and Beyond: An Intersectional Perspective on Challenges and Opportunities by Saroj Pachauri and Ravi K.

From prehistoric midden building to late-twentieth century industrial pollution, Transforming New Orleans and Its Environs traces through history the impact of human activity upon the environment of this fascinating and unpredictable region. In eleven essays, scholars across disciplines--including anthropology, architecture, history, natural history, and geography--chronicle how societies have worked to transform untamed wetlands and volatile floodplains into a present-day sprawling urban center and industrial complex, and how they have responded to the environmental changes brought about by the disruption of the natural setting. This new text follows the trials of native and colonial settlers as they struggled to shape the environment to fit the needs of urbanization. It demonstrates how the Mississippi River, while providing great avenues for commerce, transportation, and colonization also presented the region's greatest threat to urban centers, and details how engineers set about taming the mighty river. Also featured is an analysis of the impact of modern New Orleans upon the surrounding rural parishes and the effect urban pollution has had on the city's water supply and aquatic life. Transforming New Orleans and Its Environs is ideally suited for students of environmental history and urban studies, and for those readers interested in the human impact on nature. ![]() Free Download Kelly Carney, "Transforming Long-Term Care: Expanded Roles for Mental Health Professionals" English | ISBN: 1433823667 | 2016 | 264 pages | PDF | 3 MB Every long-term care setting has the potential to foster healthier and happier lives for the older adults who reside there. Mental health practitioners are uniquely positioned to serve as critical change agents in these communities. This book shows how mental health practitioners can use their full range of skills to create systems that are more supportive and engaging for residents, while also providing the staff with greater opportunities for professional growth and meaning. To illustrate what is possible, the authors explore an innovative practice model that incorporates consultation, training, and interdisciplinary team leadership, in addition to traditional direct care services, to enhance the wellbeing of older adult residents. Readers will also find practical information about Medicare and reimbursement for direct mental health services. ![]() Free Download Transforming Faces for the Screen: Horror and Romance in the 1920s by Karen Randell and Alexis Weedon English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031400283 | 149 Pages | True PDF | 4.93 MB ![]() Free Download T.D. Lama, "Transforming Coastal Zone for Sustainable Food and Income Security: Proceedings of the International Symposium of ISCAR " English | ISBN: 3030956172 | 2022 | 1193 pages | PDF | 27 MB Coastal areas are commonly defined as the interface or transition areas between land and sea, including large inland lakes. Overall, about 50-70 % of the global population live within 100 km of the coastline covering only about 4 % of earth's land, thereby drawing heavily on coastal and marine habitats for food, building sites, transportation, recreational areas, and waste disposal. The people of these zones depend mainly on low productive agriculture due to several constraints such as prolonged water logging and drainage congestion in predominantly low-lying areas with heavy soils during the wet season, preponderance of saline and acid sulphate soils, scarcity of good quality irrigation water, particularly in the dry season, seawater intrusion into adjoining lands, and water pollution due to eutrophication, and others affecting the aquatic habitats, etc. Carbon sequestration in coastal areas, such as, marshes, lagoons, etc. has significant influence on soil quality, and the carbon pool in soils as well as their impacts on the environment. Over and above these, the coastal areas are prone to disasters due to climate change leading to colossal loss of lives and properties in many areas. Forestry and mangrove dynamics, in particular, because of their continuing diminishing nature, are also subjects of interest affecting the ecology of coastal zones requiring appropriate attention. The international symposium held in this context on ' Transforming Coastal Zones for Sustainable Food and Income Security ' in virtual mode in March, 2021 offered scope to present and discuss various thematic areas by eminent scientists from all over the world. The proceedings of selected papers presented reflect cross-sectoral views of the areas highlighting, wherever necessary, a fusion of technologies, with the ultimate target to suggest livelihood security and sustainable development for the sensitive coastal zones. The book intends to share the knowledge with researchers, academicians, and various other stakeholders to address the complex problems of coastal regions, production constraints, social, economic, technical and environmental issues to draw out strategies for resilient agricultural technologies and improving livelihood security in coastal agro-ecosystems. ![]() Free Download Transformative Citizenship in South Korea: Politics of Transformative Contributory Rights by Chang Kyung-Sup English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030876896 | 308 Pages | True PDF | 4.4 MB ![]() Free Download Edna B.
