The fourth estate.
This book compiles Adamo-Faiden’s inventory along with the inventions this body of work distills. Images, drawings and texts are presented in the form of diptychs, forcing the reader to establish subjective bridges between both documents. Adamo-Faiden is an architecture studio established in Buenos Aires by Sebastian Adamo and Marcelo Faiden. Their practice extends to the field of teaching and research, and has been internationally recognized by different media and institutions. Their works were exhibited at the Sao Paulo Architecture Biennial, the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Venice Architecture Biennale, the Chicago Architecture Biennial, the LIGA Architecture gallery in Mexico, the Deutsches Architekturmuseum in Frankfurt, the Storefront for Art & Architecture in New York, and at Princeton University School of Architecture. Inventory’s sequential accumulation proposes a journey through two decades of work designed by its authors and positions Adamo-Faiden’s architecture between material organization and intellectual speculation.

Fer llibres és un ofici antic que incorpora una tradició de segles a la modernització a què conviden els nous temps. I és que la universitat, ja des dels seus orígens, manté amb els llibres un vincle indissoluble. Ara la societat de la informació i el coneixement ha obligat a reformular els processos, les tasques, els suports i fins i tot les relacions, el que podem denominar la «cuina» dels llibres, per a adaptar-se a la «revolució» editorial. Factor humà, coneixement acumulat i tecnologia es combinen amb els aspectes específics de l'edició universitària per a donar lloc al que avui dia és PUV, el segell editorial de la Universitat de València. El nostre centenari constitueix una oportunitat idònia per a cabdellar el fil temporal i preguntar-nos per les senyes d'identitat d'un servei imprescindible que contribueix al compliment d'una de les missions fonamentals de la institució. Amb Cent anys fent llibres, lema encunyat també per al centenari de l'editorial, obrim de bat a bat les portes de Publicacions de la Universitat de València, convidem a resseguir-ne la trajectòria i a participar, encara, de la història que ens queda per fer.
The 15 papers in this volume, delivered to an international conference held at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in the Fall of 2001, offer a systematic investigation into Polybius's many critiques and attempt to assess their potentially distortive effects.
Agriculture depends on improved cultivars, and cultivars are developed through proper plant breeding. Unfortunately, applied plant breeding programs that are focused on cereal commodity crops are under serious erosion because of lack of funding. This loss of public support affects breeding continuity, objectivity, and, perhaps equally important, the training of future plant breeders and the utilization and improvement of plant genetic resources currently available. Breeding programs should focus not only on short-term research goals but also on long-term genetic improvement of germplasm. The research products of breeding programs are important not only for food security but also for commodit...
