Manual técnico sobre mercados e canais de comercialização de culturas agrícolas no submédio São Francisco
O significado de mercado não deve ficar adstrito à interação entre procura e oferta por ir além do processo de compra e venda, ao compreender interações econômicas, sociais e culturais. Apesar de serem vistos como espaços onde ocorrem trocas, conversações e negociações para a realização de transações comerciais entre as partes envolvidas, como ocorre em feiras e entrepostos de comercialização é fato que os mercados possuem importância crucial na vida das pessoas. Eles influenciam a organização social, política e cultural das sociedades. A produção agrícola no Submédio São Francisco está concentrada em fruticultura tropical ( manga, uva, coco, acerola e banana ) ...

Smokey the Bear Sutra
An impassioned poem with Buddhist imagery and messages of environmentalism, social justice, and enlightenment. Pulitzer Prize-winning American poet Gary Snyder composed "Smokey the Bear Sutra" one spring night in 1969 at a Sierra Club conference. Smokey the Bear is not the U.S. Forest Service's Smokey Bear, the latter being a highly recognized advertising symbol protected by Federal law. Rather, the imagery of this Smokey comes from Buddhism; according to Snyder, Smokey the Bear Sutra is a dharma protector, modeled after Fugo, the Japanese patron of ascetics and yogis. The message of the Sutra is that we as beings are responsible to protect all other life down to the smallest forms-- do no harm, protect our collective selves, and honor the great impermanence. This short work is part of Applewood's "American Roots" series, tactile mementos of American passions by some of America's most famous writers.

Management of Invasive Weeds
Biological invasions are one of the major threats to our native biodiversity. The magnitude of biodiversity losses, land degradation and productivity losses of managed and natural ecosystems due to invasive species is enormous. The ecological and environmental aspects of non-native invasive plants are of great importance to (i) understand ecological principles involved in the management of invasives, (ii) design management strategies, (iii) find effective management solutions for some of the worst invaders, and (iv) frame policies and regulations. The objectives of this book are to discuss (i) ecological approaches needed to design effective management strategies, (ii) recent progress in man...
Allergic Diseases and the Environment
During the last two decades the increase in allergic diseases in children, such as atopic dermatitis and asthma, has been drastic. However, this is not true for the entire world: the incidence of allergies in children has risen only in developed countries. The observation of this socio-geographic discrepancy has led to careful study of the environmental differences that exist between the diverse settings in which children are born and has resulted in the so-called ‘hygiene hypothesis’: the ‘sterility’ of modern hospitals and birth places in the developed world might lead to a lack of microbial stimulation required for the development of a balanced mucosal immune response, including expansion of T-helper (Th) cell subsets that can mediate immune responses. Therefore, this workshop was held to consider in depth the environmental factors that influence the changing pattern of worldwide childhood allergy. This publication is a valuable source of knowledge and update for nutritionists, pediatricians, immunologists, microbiologists, as well as professionals concerned with preventive medicine.
