Boron in Plant and Animal Nutrition
The Boron '97 meeting was a great success in summarising all recent developments in basic and applied research on boron's function, especially in plants. New techniques have since been developed and new insight has been gained into the role of boron in plant and animal metabolism. Nevertheless, there were still lots of open questions. The aim of the present workshop held in Bonn as a satellite meeting to the International Plant Nutrition Colloquium was thus to gather all actual information which has been gained since the Boron '97 meeting and to compile knowledge, both from animal and plant sciences. Furthermore, applied aspects had to be addressed too, as there is an increasing awareness of...
Thai Rice
Thai rice feeds people in more than 160 countries, Another 20 million visitors from all corners of the globe travel to Thailand every year, geting to taste Thai rice, many for the very first time. For the peple of Thailand and their ethnic kin throughout Asia, the word Kao (rice) is synonymous with food, and Kin Kao translates to 'eat a meal'. This book introduces the many faceted story of Thai rice to its new and longtime fans - for those students of rice, in and outside school and university, wishing to increase their knowledge of rice, as has been described and explained by science. Attempts have been made to integrate basic understanding of rice science into the world of rice growers, traders and eaters, including the work on the local rice germplasm and its ecological and socia-economic context of students, researchers and academics at Chiang Mai University, which has contributed to the establishment of the Lanna Rice Research Centre.
Boron in Soils and Plants
The economic significance of boron (B) in agriculture, horticulture, and forestry has been beyond dispute for several decades. Even in the last two decades, the areas where B deficiency limits plant production has grown with increased reports from China, south Asia and southeast Asia. The present volume is reflective of the growing awareness of the significance of low soil B with reports from Australia, Bangladesh, Brazil, north, central and southern China, India, Nepal, and the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan contained herein. Boron deficiency also continues to be a problem for crop yield and quality in areas where B deficiency has been known for some time, for example in Germany a...
Southeast Asia
Drawing on case studies from across Southeast Asia, this work assesses poverty and the ways in which the poor are identified and viewed. Progress and change in the rural and urban worlds are examined in detail, focusing on the strengthening rural-urban interaction as farmers make a living in the urban-industrial sector and factories relocate into industrial areas. Giving prominence to indigenous notions of development, based on Buddhism, Islam and the so-called Asian Way, the author critically assesses the conceptual foundations of the development, ideas of post developmentalism, and the miracle thesis.

Forest Guardians, Forest Destroyers
In this far-reaching examination of environmental problems and politics in northern Thailand, Tim Forsyth and Andrew Walker analyze deforestation, water supply, soil erosion, use of agrochemicals, and biodiversity in order to challenge popularly held notions of environmental crisis. They argue that such crises have been used to support political objectives of state expansion and control in the uplands. They have also been used to justify the alternative directions advocated by an array of NGOs. In official and alternative discourses of economic development, the peoples living in Thailand's hill country are typically cast as either guardians or destroyers of forest resources, often depending ...

Global Challenges and Directions for Agricultural Biotechnology
Many developing countries are exploring whether biotechnology has a role in addressing national issues such as food security and environmental remediation, and are considering whether the putative benefits of the technology-for example, enabling greater agricultural productivity and stability in the food supply-outweigh concerns that the technology might pose a danger-to biodiversity, health, and local jobs. Some policy leaders worry that their governments are not prepared to take control of this evolving technology and that introducing it into society would be a risky act. Others have suggested that taking no action carries more risk, given the dire need to produce more food. This book repo...
Advances in Plant and Animal Boron Nutrition
This book reviews all aspects of boron research in recent years and is based on the Third International Symposium on all Aspects of Plant and Animal Boron Nutrition. This includes B sorption mechanisms in soils, deficiency and toxicity of B, B fertilizer application and basic research on the physiology and molecular biology of plant B nutrition, and nutritional function of B in animals and humans.
