Dictionary of Food Compounds
by Shmuel YannaiThe increasing world population, competition for arable land and rich fishing grounds, and environmental concerns mandate that we exploit in a sustainable way the earth’s available plant and animal resources for human consumption. To that end, food chemists, technologists, and nutritionists engage in a vast number of tasks related to food availability, quality, safety, nutritional value, and sensory properties—as well as those involved in processing, storage, and distribution. To assist in these functions, it is essential they have easy access to a collection of information on the myriad compounds found in foods. This is particularly true because even compounds present in minute concentrations may exert significant desirable or negative effects on foods.Includes a foreword by Zdzislaw E. Sikorski, Gdansk University of Technology, Poland; Editor of the CRC Press Chemical & Functional Properties of Food Components Series. Dictionary of Food Compounds, Second Edition is presented in a user-friendly format in both hard copy and fully searchable downloadable resources.

Dictionary of Plant Breeding
by Rolf H. SchlegelOne of the oldest scientific traditions, plant breeding began in Neolithic times with methods as simple as saving the seeds of desirable plants and sowing them later. It was not until the re-encounter with Mendel’s discoveries thousands of years later, the genetic basis of breeding was understood. Developments following have provided further insight into how genes acting alone or in concert with other genes and the environment, result in a particular phenotype. From Abaxial to Zymogram, the third edition of Dictionary of Plant Breeding contains clear and useful definitions of the terms associated with plant breeding and related scientific/technological disciplines. It defines jargon; provides helpful tables, examples, and breeding schemes; and includes a list of crop plants with salient details. Packed with data and organized to make that data easy to access, this revised and expanded reference provides comprehensive coverage of the latest discoveries in cytogenetics, molecular genetics, marker-assisted selection, experimental gene transfer, CRISPR technology, seed sciences, crop physiology, and genetically modified crops. Features: Provides a comprehensive list of technical terms used in plant breeding Explores the historical development of crop improvement Discusses applications of molecular genetics and biotechnology Includes numerous figures, drawings, tables, and schemes supplementing the glossary A complex subject, plant breeding draws from many scientific and technological disciplines, often making it difficult to know the precise meanings of many terms and to accurately interpret specific concepts. As in the previous editions, this dictionary unifies concepts by including the specific terms of plant breeding and terms that are adjusted from other disciplines. Drawing on Rolf Schlegel’s 50 years of experience, the book provides an encyclopedic list of commonly used technical terms that reflect the latest developments in the field.

Didactics of Smart Pedagogy: Smart Pedagogy for Technology Enhanced Learning
by Linda DanielaThe focus on smart education has become a new trend in the global educational field. Some countries have already developed smart education systems and there is increasing pressure coming from business and tech communities to continue this development. Simultaneously, there are only fragmented studies on the didactic aspects of technology usage. Thus, pedagogy as a science must engage in a new research direction—smart pedagogy. This book seeks to engage in a new research direction, that of smart pedagogy. It launches discussions on how to use all sorts of smart education solutions in the context of existing learning theories and on how to apply innovative solutions in order to reduce the marginalization of groups in educational contexts. It also explores transformations of pedagogical science, the role of the educator, applicable teaching methods, learning outcomes, and research and assessment of acquired knowledge in an effort to make the smart education process meaningful to a wide audience of international educators, researchers, and administrators working within and tangential to TEL.
Diddly Squat: From Sunday Times bestselling author and Grand Tour presenter (Diddly Squat)
by Jeremy ClarksonIt's been another memorable year on Diddly Squat Farm - will the chickens finally come home to roost?Welcome back to Clarkson’s Farm . . .Where the spring barley crop has failed. Just like the oil seed rape. And the oats turned the colour of a hearing aid. The mushrooms went mouldy. While the sheep, pigs and cows cost more than they earned. At least, the farm shop’s doing a roaring trade in candles – even if they smell like Jeremy’s knacker hammock.So never mind the rain, the skirmishes with the local planning department and the gargantuan hole in Jeremy’s wallet. Because it’s hard to feel too gloomy about life when there’s a JCB telehandler, a crop-spraying hovercraft and a digger waiting in the barn.For any man with several metric tons of powerful machinery at his fingertips must be doing something right . . .Number 1 Sunday Times bestseller, October 2024
Diddly Squat: Pigs Might Fly
by Jeremy ClarksonGet tucked in to a third bestselling helping of Clarkson's Farm from our favourite wellie-wearing wannabe farmer, Jeremy ClarksonWelcome back to Clarkson's Farm. Since taking the wheel three years ago Jeremy's had his work cut out. And it's now clear from hard-won experience that, when it comes to farming, there's only one golden rule:Whatever you hope will happen, won't.Enthusiastic schemes to diversify have met with stubborn opposition from the red trouser brigade, defeat at the hands of Council Planning department, and predictable derision from Kaleb - although, to be fair, even Lisa had doubts about Jeremy's brilliant plan to build a business empire founded on rewilding and nettle soup. And only Cheerful Charlie is still smiling about the stifling amount of red tape that's incoming . . . But he charges by the hour.Then there are the animals: the sheep are gone; the cows have been joined by a rented bull called Break-Heart Maestro;. the pigs are making piglets; and the goats have turned out to be psychopaths.But despite the naysayers and (sometimes self-inflicted) setbacks, Jeremy remains irrepressibly optimistic about life at Diddly Squat. Because It's hard not to be when you get to harvest blackberries with a vacuum cleaner.And, after all, it shouldn't just be Break-heart Maestro who gets to enjoy a happy ending . . .Diddly Squat, Number 1 Sunday Times bestseller, October 2022

This year he's determined to do better. Not because he now knows what he's doing.

Die 22 kreativen Prinzipien der Evolution: Gezeigt an 6 Disziplinen
by Thomas ServayDas Buch behandelt die Evolution der Kultur bzw. der Disziplinen vom Urknall bis zur Gegenwart. Dazu werden sechs Disziplinen auf 22 gemeinsame kreative Prinzipien hin analysiert und mit systemtheoretischen Grundelementen zu Evolutionsbäumen verbunden. Dies regt zu ganzheitlichem Denken in Systemzusammenhängen an. Es ergibt sich ein Gesamtbild der Evolution von Materie, über Leben und Technik zur Kultur. Zur Beschreibung dieser Entwicklung verwendet Dr. Servay die von ihm abgeleiteten kreativen Prinzipien und zeigt ihr funktionales Auftreten in den sechs Disziplinen Musik, Bildende Kunst, Architektur, Technik, Biologie und Psychologie. Parallel dazu begleiten uns drei Lernstränge über die Kapitel hinweg. Alle drei Stränge werden miteinander verflochten, um die Evolution in einem neuen Licht zu erklären. Bei diesen drei Strängen handelt es sich neben den kreativen Prinzipien um eine didaktisch graduelle Einführung in die Systemtheorie sowie die aus der Biologie bekannten Evolutionslinien. Der Leser wird dadurch in die Lage versetzt, sein persönliches Wissen auf andere Wissensgebiete zu übertragen. Außerdem ermöglichen die Lernstränge, in Systemzusammenhängen zu denken und zu argumentieren. Die aus der Biologie bekannten Abstammungsbäume lassen sich auf andere Disziplinen übertragen. Dies führt in letzter Konsequenz zur Evolution der Disziplinen. Und was könnte unseren Wissensschatz besser repräsentieren als die verschiedenen Disziplinen, die letztendlich unsere Kultur ausmachen?

Die Assistenz in der digitalen Transformation (Fit for Future)
by Diana BrandlDie Arbeitswelt 4.0 ist vor allem durch die zunehmende Digitalisierung geprägt. Viele Prozesse werden immer stärker digital unterstützt, bis hin zur vollständigen Automatisierung. Das hat Auswirkungen auf das Berufsbild und die Aufgaben der Assistenz und bringt sowohl Herausforderungen als auch Chancen mit sich.Dieses Buch stellt die sich wandelnde Rolle der Assistenz im Office 4.0 und deren gestalterische Möglichkeiten vor. Dazu portraitiert es die Meinungen verschiedener Assistenzen und Entscheider in renommierten Unternehmen, die wertvolle Einblicke in ihren Arbeitsalltag geben. In diesem Zusammenhang werden auch die Technologie der digitalen Assistenten und deren Nutzungsmöglichkeiten im Büroalltag ausführlich beleuchtet und viele praktische Tools vorgestellt, die Arbeit abnehmen und Raum für neue Aufgaben schaffen können. Zahlreiche Beispiele aus der Praxis geben inspirierende Anregungen und zeigen, dass Management-Assistenzen ein wichtiger Treiber der digitalen Transformation sind.Über die Buchreihe "Fit for Future"Die Zukunft wird massive Veränderungen im Arbeits- und Privatleben mit sich bringen. Tendenzen gehen sogar dahin, dass die klassische Teilung zwischen Arbeitszeit und Freizeit nicht mehr gelingen wird. Eine neue Zeit – die sogenannte „Lebenszeit“ – beginnt. Laut Bundesregierung werden in den nächsten Jahren viele Berufe einen tiefgreifenden Wandel erleben und in ihrer derzeitigen Form nicht mehr existieren. Im Gegenzug wird es neue Berufe geben, von denen wir heute noch nicht wissen, wie diese aussehen oder welche Tätigkeiten diese beinhalten werden. Betriebsökonomen schildern mögliche Szenarien, dass eine stetig steigende Anzahl an Arbeitsplätzen durch Digitalisierung und Robotisierung gefährdet sind. Die Reihe „Fit for future“ beschäftigt sich eingehend mit dieser Thematik und bringt zum Ausdruck, wie wichtig es ist, sich diesen neuen Rahmenbedingungen am Markt anzupassen, flexibel zu sein, seine Kompetenzen zu stärken und „Fit for future“ zu werden. Der Initiator der Buchreihe Peter Buchenau lädt hierzu namhafte Experten ein, ihren Erfahrungsschatz auf Papier zu bringen und zu schildern, welche Kompetenzen es brauchen wird, um auch künftig erfolgreich am Markt zu agieren. Ein Buch von der Praxis für die Praxis, von Profis für Profis. Leser und Leserinnen erhalten „einen Blick in die Zukunft“ und die Möglichkeit, ihre berufliche Entwicklung rechtzeitig mitzugestalten.
