The Olive
The European or Mediterranean cultivated olive (Olea europaea L., subsp. europaea, var. europaea) is an ancient crop notable for its early domestication. Today, hundreds of olive varieties are grown to produce high-quality fruit for oil and table olives for human consumption. Over the last 30 years, the olive industry has undergone profound innovation due to scientific and technical advances, particularly in genomics, breeding, orchard management, mechanization and agro-ecology. Not all these developments are currently available to smaller producers. Outside the Mediterranean Basin, where it has been present for over 6,000 years, olive cultivation has spread to many other countries. These new olive-growing areas are helping further the expansion of the industry, due to increased awareness of the nutritional and health properties of extra virgin olive oil. The Olive: Botany and Production is an invaluable resource for researchers and students in horticulture and agriculture, in addition to producers involved in olive orchard management.
The Olive Tree Genome
This book provides an introduction to the genetics, genomics, and breeding of the olive tree, a multi-functional long-lived crop plant that is relevant not only for culinary olive and oil production, but also for shaping the landscape and history of many rural areas for centuries. Today, the recognized health benefits of extra-virgin olive oil provide new impulses for introducing innovation in olive crop management and olive breeding for a deeper understanding of the biological processes underlying fruit quality, adaptation to crop environment and response to threatening epidemics due to biological agents such as Xylella fastidiosa. The individual chapters discuss genetic resources; classic ...

Transitioning to Good Health and Well-Being
Transitioning to Good Health and Well-Being addresses critical issues of health in the context of sustainability, which need to be tackled in order to achieve Agenda 2030. Acknowledging the dramatic improvements that have been made in the past decades with regards to health, we also face disparities that remain amongst and within countries. While life expectancy has more than doubled, we are, at the same time, confronted with the challenges that come along with population growth alongside environmental change, migration, ageing, and economic disparities. In its 2018 progress report concerning SDG 3, the UN stated that, while the quality of global health is increasing, “people are still suf...

Costruire la seconda natura
Collana T+A Territori di Architettura diretta da Luigi Ramazzotti Il territorio a ovest di Palermo, compreso da Isola delle Femmine a Partinico, si caratterizza per una edilizia sparsa, nuclei più densi e radi terreni coltivati. La seconda natura si sta trasformando in campagna urbanizzata, con l'eccezione dell'area intorno a Partinico dove sono presenti campi agricoli più ampi. Questo destino ineluttabile può trovare un'alternativa nell'ipotesi de “La città in estensione” di Giuseppe Samonà (1976) che diviene riferimento privilegiato per gli sviluppi teorici e progettuali del Prin 2009. Tali esiti danno corpo alla presente pubblicazione dell'Unità di ricerca della Facoltà di Arch...
