Transgenic Plants
Transgenic crops are now grown in the USA and several other countries, and are now entering some of the developing countries. It was felt that few people in most of the Central American countries knew about the potential benefits and risks of the new technology of transgenic crops, so a workshop was held at the Panamerican Agriculture College in Honduras in May 1996. This publication sets out the presentations, discussion and recommendations of this regional workshop, with reference to cotton, maize and rice crops, legislation aspects and pest resistance management. The booklet with 11 chapters provides an interesting overview of the subject, which would be of interest to other areas of the world. (Review by G.A. Matthews, in: Crop Protection vol. 6, issue 5 (1997)p. 492)
Transgenic Plants in MesoAmerican Agriculture
In the U.S., Bt transgenic crops have reached the market after several years of regulatory review and discussions concerning biosafety and durability. Although transgenic crops are entering Mesoamerica, regulations do not exist in that region, and the analysis of appropriate use of the technology is just beginning. To fill the gaps in information, analysis, and recommendations on the use of transgenic crops in Mesoamerica, his book summarizes the presentations, discussion, and recommendations of the representatives from seven Mesoamerican countries who attended a workshop in 1996. Glossary. Charts and tables.

After San Jacinto
A balanced account of the skirmishes along Texas’ borderland during the years between the Battle of San Jacinto and the Mexican seizure of San Antonio. The stage was set for conflict: The First Congress of the Republic of Texas had arbitrarily designated the Rio Grande as the boundary of the new nation. Yet the historic boundaries of Texas, under Spain and Mexico, had never extended beyond the Nueces River. Mexico, unwilling to acknowledge Texas independence, was even more unwilling to allow this further encroachment upon her territory. But neither country was in a strong position to substantiate claims; so the conflict developed as a war of futile threats, border raids, and counterraids. Nevertheless, men died—often heroically—and this is the first full story of their bitter struggle. Based on original sources, it is an unbiased account of Texas-Mexican relations in a crucial period. “Solid regional history.” —The Journal of Southern History
CALL and complexity – short papers from EUROCALL 2019
The theme selected for the 2019 EuroCALL conference held in Louvain-la-Neuve was ‘CALL and complexity’. As languages are known to be intrinsically and linguistically complex, as are the many determinants of learning (additional) languages, complexity is viewed as a challenge to be embraced collectively. The 2019 conference allowed us to pay tribute to providers of CALL solutions and to recognize the complexity of their task. We hope you will enjoy reading this volume as it offers a rich glimpse into the numerous debates that took place during EuroCALL 2019. We look forward to continuing those debates and discussions with you at the next EuroCALL conferences!
Sound States
By investigating the relationship between acoustical technologies and twentieth-century experimental poetics, this collection, with an accompanying compact disc, aims to 'turn up the volume' on printed works and rethink the way we read, hear, and talk about literary texts composed after telephones, phonographs, radios, loudspeakers, microphones, and tape recorders became facts of everyday life. The collection's twelve essays focus on earplay in texts by James Joyce, Ezra Pound, H.D., Samuel Beckett, William Burroughs, Amiri Baraka, Bob Kaufman, Robert Duncan, and Kamau Brathwaite and in performances by John Cage, Caribbean DJ-poets, and Cecil Taylor. From the early twentieth-century soundscapes of Futurist and Dadaist 'sonosphers' to Henri Chopin's electroacoustical audio-poames, the authors argue, these states of sound make bold but wavering statements--statements held only partially in check by meaning. The contributors are Loretta Collins, James A. Connor, Michael Davidson, N. Katherine Hayles, Nathaniel Mackey, Steve McCaffery, Alec McHoul, Toby Miller, Adalaide Morris, Fred Moten, Marjorie Perloff, Jed Rasula, and Garrett Stewart.
