Mulberry Genetic Improvement in Context of Climate Change

Mulberry Genetic Improvement in Context of Climate Change

Mulberry (Morus spp. ) is an important horticultural plant in the sericulture industry. It belongs to the family Moraceae. The leaf of mulberry is used to feed the silkworm Bombyx mori L. It is also used as a fodder. Due to its economic and agricultural importance mulberry is cultivated in many parts of the world. An estimated 60% of the total cost of silk cocoon production is for production and maintenance of mulberry plants. Therefore much attention is needed to improve the quality and quantity of mulberry leaves. It is vital to increase the production of superior quality mulberry leaves with high nutritive value for the sericulture industry. Although a lot of research is going on in mulberry very little effort has been made to compile the results of this research in a single book.

An Architecture Manifesto Critical Reason and Theories of a Failed Practice

An Architecture Manifesto Critical Reason and Theories of a Failed Practice

In this manifesto the author takes a leap of faith. It is a faith in Lost Causes. He asserts that today architectonic reason has fallen into ruins. As soon as architecture leaves the limits set to it by architectonic reason no other path is open to it but the path to aestheticism. This is the wrong path contemporary architecture has taken. In its reduction to a pure aesthetic object architecture negatively affects the human sensorium. Capitalist consumer society creates desires by generating ‘surplus-enjoyment’ for capitalist profit and contemporary architecture has become an instrument in generating this ‘surplus-enjoyment’ with fatal consequences. This manifesto is thus both a critique and a work of theory. It is a siren alarm klaxon to the current status quo within architectural discourse and a timely response to the conditions of architecture today. | An Architecture Manifesto Critical Reason and Theories of a Failed Practice

Sin and Forgiveness New Responses in a Changing World

Sin and Forgiveness New Responses in a Changing World

Originally published in 2003. Western attitudes to crime were in the past rooted in concepts of sin and therefore of hopes for redemption and forgiveness. So what happens - to offenders and society as a whole - in a world where people no longer talk of sin but of evil. If hopes of redemption go too will revenge take the place of forgiveness? Kay Carmichael explores these dilemmas in this topical and provocative book. She traces the stories of Myra Hindley Mary Bell Sarah Payne James Bulger and his killers comparing public responses to such crimes in various Western countries. Art and literature are examined for the light they throw on the evolution of our ideas about sin and forgiveness - from Rembrandt to Nathaniel Hawthorne Samuel Becket Dali and writings inspired by the Holocaust. Turning to our own day Carmichael discusses the emergence of structural sins or 'iniquities' in which we may all find ourselves involved: poverty slavery violence and war are her themes. Her analysis leaves her sceptical about many contemporary appeals for forgiveness but hopeful about ideas of restorative justice. | Sin and Forgiveness New Responses in a Changing World

Philanthropy and Society

Philanthropy and Society

A comprehensive introduction to the field of philanthropy Philanthropy and Society challenges the reader to think deeply about the role of philanthropic institutions in shaping and bettering the communities they serve and civil society as a whole. While all agree that the function of philanthropic organizations is to maximize the impact of grant making there is little consensus on how to do that. This book focuses on two trends that have emerged: strategic philanthropy and increasing diversity equity and inclusion in philanthropy. Amidst persistent societal inequities the proliferation of philanthropy leaves one wondering about the potential of this expanding industry to influence social change as well as include constituents beyond donors and their staff. The book offers several case studies of different types of foundations from around the world that demonstrate several tactics used to develop plans that are both strategic and inclusive. Upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate students of philanthropy as well as professionals will come away from this book with a more nuanced and practical sense of the challenging questions the field of philanthropy faces and the different ways they can be tackled.

Norway’s EU Experience and Lessons for the UK On Autonomy and Wriggle Room

Norway’s EU Experience and Lessons for the UK On Autonomy and Wriggle Room

This book examines Norway’s affiliation to the EU and systematically assesses the potential suitability of this arrangement for the UK as a viable EU affiliation post-Brexit. Framing the book within the framework of the broader European context the authors ask how much autonomy and room to manoeuvre tightly integrated non-member states have under this arrangement. They present an in-depth assessment of Norway’s close EU affiliation and provide insight into what this may reveal to us about the post-Brexit European political order. The book’s analytical framework centred on autonomy under complex interdependence has relevance well beyond the confines of the Norway case. This includes the UK not least since the EU–UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) leaves considerable uncertainty. It contains transitory elements; there will be implementation reviews and there may be many more bilateral and multilateral agreements before the trade relationship is fully defined. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of European Union politics Norwegian politics British politics European integration and more broadly to European studies and international relations. | Norway’s EU Experience and Lessons for the UK On Autonomy and Wriggle Room

Sex Drugs and Creativity Searching for Magic in a Disenchanted World

Sex Drugs and Creativity Searching for Magic in a Disenchanted World

In Sex Drugs and Creativity: The Search for Magic in a Disenchanted World Kahoud and Knafo take a close look at omnipotent fantasies in three domains: sex drugs and creativity. They demonstrate how these fantasies emerge and how artists draw on them both to create and destroy—sometimes simultaneously – and how understanding this can help psychoanalysts work more effectively with these individuals. Using the personal statements of influential artists and entertainers in addition to clinical material the authors examine the omnipotence of self-destruction as it contends with that of creative artists. The authors argue that creative artists use omnipotent fantasies to imagine the world differently - this enables them to produce their art but also leaves these artists vulnerable to addiction. Chapters devoted to Stephen King and Anne Sexton demonstrate the ways these authors used drugs and alcohol to fuel imagination and inspire creative output while simultaneously doing harm to themselves. A detailed case study also demonstrates successful clinical work with a creative substance user. Sex Drugs and Creativity will appeal to anyone interested in the links between creativity and substance use and will be of great use to psychoanalysts and mental health practitioners working with these challenging clients. | Sex Drugs and Creativity Searching for Magic in a Disenchanted World

Psychoanalysis and Toileting Minding One’s Business

Psychoanalysis and Toileting Minding One’s Business

Psychoanalysis and Toileting is an accessible book that delineates and interprets the psychological meanings of defecating and urinating in everyday life. Paul Marcus’ work gives the clinician an in-depth view of an activity that every patient and practitioner engage in and shows how not dealing with toileting in its wide range of social and practical contexts leaves out a huge aspect of the patient’s everyday experience. Drawing from psychoanalytic theory and practice the author discusses such subjects as constipation diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome adult female incontinence toilet cursing public toilet graffiti and toilet humor. The book also considers the personal meaning of urinating and defecating as seen in men suffering from an enlarged prostate in ‘excremental assault’ in the Nazi concentration camps and in dreaming. Marcus considers not only what is typically negative about these experiences but what can be seen as positive in terms of growth and development for the ordinary person. The book is illustrated throughout with clinical vignettes and observations taken from the author’s private practice. Psychoanalysis and Toileting will be a key text for psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists in practice and in training.

Heritage Memory and Punishment Remembering Colonial Prisons in East Asia

Heritage Memory and Punishment Remembering Colonial Prisons in East Asia

Based on a transnational study of decommissioned postcolonial prisons in Taiwan (Taipei and Chiayi) South Korea (Seoul) and China (Lushun) this book offers a critical reading of prisons as a particular colonial product the current restoration of which as national heritage is closely related to the evolving conceptualization of punishment. Focusing on the colonial prisons built by the Japanese Empire in the first half of the twentieth century it illuminates how punishment has been considered a subject of modernization while the contemporary use of prisons as heritage tends to reduce the process of colonial modernity to oppression and atrocity – thus constituting a heritage of shame and death which postcolonial societies blame upon the former colonizers. A study of how the remembering of punishment and imprisonment reflects the attempts of postcolonial cities to re-articulate an understanding of the present by correcting the past Heritage Memory and Punishment examines how prisons were designed built partially demolished preserved and redeveloped across political regimes demonstrating the ways in which the selective use of prisons as heritage reframed through nationalism leaves marks on urban contexts that remain long after the prisons themselves are decommissioned. As such it will appeal to scholars of sociology geography the built environment and heritage with interests in memory studies and dark tourism. | Heritage Memory and Punishment Remembering Colonial Prisons in East Asia
