Agricultural Dimensions of Global Climate Change

By: Harry Kaiser,Thomas Drennen

This important book, written by recognized leaders in their fields, discusses agricultural dimensions of global climate change. Research and policy issues are covered and a multidisciplinary view of global climate change and agriculture is presented. Major sections cover the contribution of agriculture to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (including an investigation as to whether monitoring and verification of such emissions would work) and the impact of global climate change on agriculture. The book examines such important issues as global food availability, distributional effects between developing and developed countries, agricultural adaptation possibilities, and whether CO2 enrichment will benefit agriculture. A unique feature of this publication is that it addresses communication difficulties between researchers and policy makers and suggests solutions.

Plant Virus and Viroid Diseases in the Tropics

Volume 2: Epidemiology and Management

By: K. Subramanya Sastry,Thomas A. Zitter

Around the globe, besides fungal and bacterial diseases, both virus and viroid diseases have acquired greater importance in the realm of plant pathology and call for effective management measures as they are responsible for heavy yield losses and are a matter of vital importance and concern to farmers, horticulturists, gardeners and foresters. Understanding disease epidemiology is of vital importance for formulating viable disease management practices in a given agro-ecosystem. The development and progress of plant disease epidemics are variable from region to region. Epidemiology is not a static process, but rather a dynamic course that varies with a change in the ecology, host, vector and virus systems.

Die Vermessung des Unbekannten

Ein Essay über Geld und Gesellschaft in Zeiten radikaler Unsicherheit

By: Thomas Mayer

Seit uns der Glaube an die göttliche Vorsehung abhandengekommen ist, flüchten wir uns in den Versuch, die Zukunft mit mathematischen Wahrscheinlichkeiten zu vermessen und radikale Unsicherheit in berechenbare und somit versicherbare Risiken zu überführen. Da wir nicht alles privat versichern können, haben wir einen »Versicherungsstaat« errichtet, der den Auftrag hat, unsere Lebensrisiken zu minimieren und uns gegen die Restrisiken abzusichern. Doch dies ist eine Illusion. So sehr wir es uns auch wünschen mögen: Die Zukunft lässt sich nicht vermessen und fundamentale Ungewissheiten lassen sich nicht in kalkulierbare Risiken überführen. Das hat bereits die Große Finanzkrise gezeigt und wird in der Corona-Pandemie eindrucksvoll bestätigt. Dennoch schwingt sich der Staat zum obersten Risikomanager auf. Um die daraus entstehenden Kosten zu stemmen, besteuert der Staat seine Bürger bis zur teilweisen Konfiszierung ihrer Vermögen. Schlussendlich zerstört die Risikogesellschaft – in dem Bemühen, der radikalen Unsicherheit zu entgehen – sich selbst, und der Versicherungsstaat muss Konkurs anmelden. Thomas Mayer, einer der renommiertesten deutschen Wirtschaftsexperten und mehrmaliger Manager-Magazin-Bestsellerautor, zeigt, wie es dazu kam, dass wir den Umgang mit fundamentaler Ungewissheit verlernt haben, und welche tiefgreifenden Konsequenzen dies in Wirtschaft, Finanzen, Politik und Gesellschaft hat. Er bleibt jedoch nicht bei der Analyse des Problems stehen, sondern zeigt auf, wie ein richtiger Umgang mit radikaler Unsicherheit aussehen könnte, und hat konkrete Empfehlungen für den Einzelnen, der unter den Bedingungen einer kurzsichtigen Politik wirtschaftliche Entscheidungen für die Zukunft treffen muss. »Thomas Mayer ist einer der besten Kenner der Marktwirtschaft sowie des Finanz- und Geldsystems, einer, der [...] nicht im Elfenbeinturm der Wissenschaft stecken bleibt.« Frank Schäffler

Britain’s Korean War

Cold War diplomacy, strategy and security 1950–53

By: Thomas Hennessey

Available in paperback for the first time, this book assesses the strains within the ‘Special Relationship’ between London and Washington and offers a new perspective on the limits and successes of British influence during the Korean War. The interaction between the main personalities on the British side – Attlee, Bevan, Morrison, Churchill and Eden – and their American counterparts – Truman, Acheson, Eisenhower and Dulles – are chronicled. By the end of the war the British were concerned that it was the Americans, rather than the Soviets, who were the greater threat to world peace. British fears concerning the Korean War were not limited to the diplomatic and military fronts these extended to the ‘Manchurian Candidate’ threat posed by returning prisoners of war who had been exposed to communist indoctrination. The book is essential reading for those interested in British and US foreign policy and military strategy during the Cold War.

The Ulster Unionist Party

Country Before Party?

By: Thomas Hennessey,Máire Braniff,James W. McAuley,Jonathan Tonge,Sophie A. Whiting

The Ulster Unionist Party: Country Before Party? uses unprecedented access to the party that dominated Northern Ireland politics for decades to assess the reasons for its decline and to analyse whether it can recover. Having helped produce the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement, the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) struggled to deliver the deal amid unease over aspects of what its leadership negotiated. Paramilitary prisoner releases, policing changes, and power-sharing with the republican 'enemy' were all controversial. As the UUP leader won a Nobel Peace Prize, his party began to lost elections. For the UUP leadership, acceptance of change was the right thing to do for Northern Ireland - a case of putting country before party. The decades since the peace agreement have seen the UUP eclipsed by the rival Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) even though most of what the UUP agreed in 1998 has remained in place. This book examines the travails of the UUP in recent times. It draws upon the first-ever survey of UUP members and a wide range of interviews, including with the five most recent leaders of the party, to analyse the reasons for its reverses and the capacity to revive. The volume assesses why the UUP's (still sizeable) membership remains loyal and discusses what the UUP and unionism means to those members, in terms of loyalty, policy, national and religious identity, views of other parties and what a shared future in Northern Ireland will constitute. Amid Brexit and talk of a border poll, crises of devolved government, rows with republicans and intra-unionist tensions, how secure and confident does the UUP membership feel about Northern Ireland's future? Written by the same expert team that produced an award-winning book on the DUP, this book is indispensable to understanding parties and political change in divided societies.
