Financial Market Drift: Decoupling of the Financial Sector from the Real Economy?
Lukas Menkhoff , and Norbert Tolksdorf Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 3540411658 |
Book Description
International financial markets play an increasing role in the mind of the general public, much more than they did a few decades ago. There can be no doubt that the size of financial markets has grown at a faster pace than the markets for goods and services in the past ten or twenty years. However, it is still unclear whether this is a desirable development, or whether it indicates looming risks. The book documents and classifies the debate about the potential decoupling of the financial sector from the real economy, and then to introduce it into the context of established scientific lines of research. We try to provide a logical structuring of the heterogeneous arguments by postulating a decoupling hypothesis (phenomena, causes, consequences). Various models are presented in this structure and stylized facts can be isolated.

A well-planned combination of straightforward text and colorful photos make Vegetable Gardening: Your Ultimate Guide a most useful addition in your quest for the perfect melon or Brussels sprout. The chapters on preparation cover everything from garden design (complete with worksheets) to the creation of special environments like cold frames and greenhouses. With the easy step-by-step instructions on building a potting bench, you may even surprise yourself with your new handy talents!Plant care--from irrigation to pest control--is demonstrated with numerous methods, with an emphasis on do-it-yourself projects and avoiding harmful chemicals. All kinds of canning and preserving tips are shown as well--who knew the importance of an ice bath in ensuring freshness? Ending with a vegetable glossary that includes 15 different categories for each plant, this book has all the information you need for successful gardening. The color photos in each section are a mix of step-by-step demonstrations and close-ups of plants and insects in varying states, and every one of them does a beautiful job of bringing the text to life. The writing itself, while as informative as an advanced textbook, is written simply enough for use by novices--no fancy language here! Enjoyable and instructive, this manual is equally useful for beginners or those with years of experience. --Jill Lightner

Genetic Resources, Chromosome Engineering, and Crop Improvement: Vegetable Crops, Volume 3 (Genetic Resources Chromosome Engineering & Crop Improvement)
Manufacturer: CRC ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0849396468 |
Book Description
Summarizing landmark research, Volume 3 of this essential series furnishes information on the availability of germplasm resources that breeders can exploit for producing high-yielding vegetable crop varieties. Written by leading international experts, this volume offers the most comprehensive and up-to-date information on employing genetic resources to increase the yield of those vegetable crops that provide a main source of minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. In eleven succinct chapters, Genetic Resources, Chromosome Engineering, and Crop Improvement: Vegetable Crops, Volume 3 focuses on potato, tomato, brassicas, okra, capsicum, alliums, cucurbits, lettuce, eggplant, and carrot. An introductory chapter outlines the cytogenetic architecture of vegetable crops, describes the principles and strategies of cytogenetics and breeding, and summarizes landmarks in current research. This sets the stage for the ensuing crop-specific chapters. Each chapter generally provides a comprehensive account of the crop, its origin and taxonomy, wild relatives, exploitation of genetic resources diversity in the primary, secondary, and tertiary gene pools through breeding and cytogenetic manipulation, and genetic enrichment using the tools of molecular genetics and biotechnology. Certain to become the standard reference for improving the yields of these critical vegetable crops, this book is the definitive source of information for plant breeders, gene-bankers, cytogeneticists, taxonomists, molecular biologists, biotechnologists, and graduate students, researchers, agronomists, horticulturists, farmers and consumers in these fields.

Handbook of Potato Production, Improvement, And Postharvest Management
Manufacturer: Food Products Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1560222727 |
Book Description
The basics through practical applicationall in one book!Potatoes are a crucial food crop around the world, grown in nearly 150 countries. The Handbook of Potato Production, Improvement, and Postharvest Management compiles everything you need to know about potato crop production in one well-organized reference. Leading international authorities clearly discuss the biology, genetics, breeding, diseases, and effective approaches for improvement of crop and handling after harvest. This one-of-a-kind text explores, from interdisciplinary perspectives, every aspect of potato crop management from seed germination to end use while presenting the most current research available.
The Handbook of Potato Production, Improvement, and Postharvest Management reviews both wild and cultivated potatoes, examining the crop's origins, history, and habitat. Cultivation techniques are discussed in detail, with emphasis on breeding, biotechnological, and agronomic methods that can improve yield and help ensure the health of the vegetable. Qualitative and quantitative genetic traits are comprehensively explained, and integrated management of pests, diseases, weed, and water are extensively considered. Various abiotic stresses are examined, including heat, drought, salinity, frost, and others. Potato crop's most devastating disease, late blight, is explored in detail. Different types of after-harvest storage are analyzed with an eye toward maintaining optimum freshness year-round, and a useful description of biochemical changes effected during storage is included. Processing and detailed information on food value are also reviewed. In addition, a final chapter explores true potato seed (TPS) options. The book includes detailed references and helpful tables, graphs, and figures to enhance understanding of material.
Topics in the Handbook of Potato Production, Improvement, and Postharvest Management include:
history
structure
biosystematics
genetics
breeding
biotechnology for improvement
approaches to improve quality
ecophysiology and agronomic management
comprehensive information on diseases and viruses
insects
abiotic stresses and their management
storage issues
processing
and much more!
The Handbook of Potato Production, Improvement, and Postharvest Management makes an invaluable desktop reference for educators, postgraduate students, researchers, and any potato industry professional. The text is also perfect for university reference libraries.
