Remaking the Postwar World Economy: Robot and British Policy in the 1950s

Book Description

Peter Burnham presents a detailed, archive-based account of the keys aspects of international monetary relations in the 1950s focusing in particular on Anglo-American policy surrounding the restoration of sterling convertibility. He argues that in 1952 the British government had a unique opportunity to take an almost revolutionary step in the external field to transform the international political economy (through the abolition of the fixed rate system, the International Monetary Fund, and the European Payments Union) and restructure Britain's domestic economy to tackle longstanding productivity, export and labour market problems.

Book Description

Plant breeding patents, the ownership to biological innovation and associated intellectual property rights (IPR), are the subject of increased attention worldwide. They are particularly relevant in the field of agricultural biotechnology. They are affecting public and private sector organisations and companies, and are significant for developing as well as developed countries. These issues have until recently evoked little policy analysis. This book presents the perspectives of policy-makers and economists on such issues and includes discussions of public research and property rights, implications for developing countries, IPR of wild genetic resources and IPR under the Convention of Biological Diversity, among others.

Book Description

The unique treatise of Yuri P. Altukhov is based on several decades of research on natural communities, modelling them in experiments and with computer analysis. Essential features of species population structure, such as genetic population subdivision, hierarchical systemic organization, unrandom structure of gene migration, as well as factors and conditions of genetic stability of populations are revealed. Elucidating principles of stabilization of gene pools of agricultural animals and plants, the author discusses a strategy of conservation and sustainable management of natural gene pool resources. He considers the specificity of genetic processes in modern human populations and presents a new view on genetic mechanisms of speciation. New evidence is given for the adaptive value of molecular polymorphism in populations. The hypothesis of optimal genetic diversity of populations as the most important condition of their stable reproduction in generations and the principles of rational interaction of human with nature are treated in detail.

Book Description

Discusses factors and vonditions necessary for gentic stability of populations.
This book examines results of field and experimental work in the study of genetic processes in the populations of different species.
The maintenance of genetic diversity is approached from different angles, including the formulation of a strategy for the preservation and management of natural populations, which is derived from the analysis of a genetic variation of isozymes and quantitative morphophysiologic characters. Facts are presented concerning the genetic mechanisms of speciations.

An excellent reference.......2001-06-05

I've been using this book for 2 years and I find it very reliable and accurate. Though not recommended for non-chemistry majors due to some technical terms, a person with sufficient inorganic knowledge will find it easy to learn and understand the concepts presented. Chemical analyses procedures are well stated and very specific. For me, I really recommend this book to be in print again so chemists and chemistry students' alike can take advantage of the great information contained in the book.

Book Description

Historian Gilad Margalit eloquently fills a tragic gap in the historical record with this sweeping examination of the plight of Gypsies in Germany before, during, and since the era of the Third Reich.
Germany and Its Gypsies reveals the painful record of the official treatment of the German Gypsies, a people whose future, in the shadow of Auschwitz, remains uncertain. Margalit follows the story from the heightened racism of the nineteenth century to the National Socialist genocidal policies that resulted in the murder of most German Gypsies, from the shifting attitudes in the two Germanys in 1945 through reunification and up to the present day.
Drawing upon a rich variety of sources, Margalit considers the pivotal historic events, legal arguments, debates, and changing attitudes toward the status of the German Gypsies and shines a vitally important light upon the issue of ethnic groups and their victimization in society. The result is a powerful and unforgettable testament.

Book Description

In this easy-to-read series, eminent science writers John and Mary Gribbin look at the lives and work of eight major scientists. Each book is accessible enough to be read for fun but informative enough to appeal to students of science. The iconic Albert Einstein emerges as a dashing ladies' man and the greatest scientist of his time; but why did Charles Darwin wait for decades before going public with his ideas on evolution? How was Marie Curie's great work shaped by her childhood experiences of oppression under the Czars? And what was Edmond Halley, of comet fame, doing as Captain of a King's Ship and later spy for the Crown? An introduction and afterword places each scientist's work in the context of the development of their subject.

So That Is Why They Named The Science Building after Him!.......2003-04-07

I had always wanted to know more about Gregor Mendel since studying science in Mendel Hall during my high school days at Augustinian Academy. This book gave me that opportunity.

Mendel was an interesting character. Known mostly for his work in the field of genetics, Mendel was not a one dimensional character. Born in Moravia of peasant (an honorable estate in the time and place) in 1822, the priesthood provided Mendel with his only chance to obtain an education.

His entrance into the Augustinian Monastery at Brunn provided Mendel with an opportunity to purse his scientific studies without the distraction of worrying about earning a living. After ordination, Mendel taught at the equivalent of a high school.

It was Mendel's work in genetics that made him a subject worthy of a biography. His work involved studies on the transmission of characteristics over generations of peas. Mendel's conclusions were in accord with some the theories of Charles Darwin, a fact which limited the promotion of his findings among his peers. His work did earn him the title of "Father of Genetics".

Mendel's scientific work slowed with his election as Abbot in 1868. Mendel had desired the post because it enable him to financially help his family. I do not understand how this is consistent with his vow of poverty. As Abbot, Mendel dealt with issues of taxation, management of the monastic estates and offices in various scientific societies. Mendel died in 1884.

I enjoyed learning more about Gregor Mendel than I had known before. I was disappointed in learning so little about his contributions to the religious life of his community. Overall this book is s worthwhile introduction to an interesting life which left me looking for more.
