Описание: This book examines the ways in which a minority of primarily white, male, French philanthropists used their social standing and talents to improve the lives of peoples of African descent in Saint-Domingue during the crucial period of the Haitian Revolution. They went to great lengths to advocate for the application of universal human rights through political activities, academic societies, religious charity, influence on public opinion, and fraternity in the armed services. The motives for their benevolence ran the gamut from genuine altruism to the selfish pursuit of prestige, which could, on occasion, lead to political or economic benefit from aiding blacks and people of color. This book offers a view that takes into account the efforts of all peoples who worked to end slavery and establish racial equality in Saint-Domingue and challenges simplistic notions of the Haitian Revolution, which lean too heavily on an assumed strict racial divide between black and white.

Описание:
'Food Insecurity and Revolution in the Middle East and North Africa' studies the political economy of agrarian transformation in the Middle East and North Africa. Examining Egypt and Tunisia in detail as case studies, it critiques the dominant tropes of food security offered by the international financial institutions and promotes the importance of small-scale family farming in developing sustainable food sovereignty. Egypt and Tunisia are located in the context of the broader Middle East and broader processes of war, environmental transformation and economic reform.
The book contributes to uncovering the historical backdrop and contemporary pressures in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) for the uprisings of 2010 and 2011. It also explores the continued failure of post-uprising counter-revolutionary governments to directly address issues of rural development that put the position and role of small farmers centre stage.
'Food Insecurity and Revolution in the Middle East and North Africa' uniquely presents a political economy of agrarian transformation in the MENA region by problematising the persistent politicisation of food and rural (under)development exemplified in the case studies of Egypt and Tunisia. These cases highlight the ways in which de-development has led to the persistent impoverishment of the countryside and its uneven consequences for the ways it reproduced power, politics and inequality. The political economy of food in the region is played out in the broader complex of global food regimes and their contestation by counter-hegemonic initiatives for food sovereignty.

Описание: This book explores humanity’s relationship with the natural world throughout evolutionary history, and the need to reorient this onto a symbiotic basis. It integrates the themes of natural and artificial selection, the characteristics of historic ‘revolutions’, and directed versus random change. Inspiring community-based projects, mainly from the developing world, show how ecosystem regeneration uplifts human livelihoods in a positively reinforcing cycle, embodying lessons germane to co-creating a Symbiocene era wherein humanity’s substantial influence (the Anthropocene) achieves increasing symbiosis with the natural processes shaping the former Holocene epoch. The Ecosystems Revolution provides practical, positive examples, highlighting the attainability of an ‘ecosystems revolution’.
Описание: Abstract: Laboratory and field research was conducted on issues relevant to the effective management of the blue tilapia, Tilapia aurea, an exotic cichlid established in U.S. waters. Cold tolerance of blue tilapia was enhanced at isosmotic salinities. Time and temperature interacted to elicit cold death; a model was developed to quantify this interaction. Considerable heterogeneity in thermal tolerance among individual fish was observed. Blue tilapia moved in and out of a stenothermal spring run in direct response to seasonal changes in surface-water temperatures. Survival, growth, and relative foraging abilities of early life history stages of blue tilapia exceeded those of larvae of a representative native centrarchid in laboratory experiments. The success of the blue tilapia in colonizing systems and rapidly achieving high abundances may be a result of this high relative proficiency in exploiting available trophic resources. In Lake George, young tilapia fed primarily on microcrustaceans and exhibited a high degree of trophic overlap with larval shad. In laboratory electivity experiments, largemouth bass offered juvenile blue tilapia and bluegill of equal size exhibited a preference for tilapia as forage. Nest-site selection by blue tilapia was characterized in a stenothermal spring run and compared to historical data on largemouth bass nesting in the run prior to the presence of tilapia. Blue tilapia preferentially selected nest sites in vegetated, shallow-water areas; microhabitat characteristics corresponded to those formerly used by largemouth bass. Because nesting by largemouth bass is behaviorally suppressed under crowded conditions, the presence of nesting tilapia may have been responsible for an observed decline in number of bass nests in the run. Blue tilapia in the Silver Glen Springs Run / Lake George system spawned from March through June although nesting in the stenothermal run was initiated in late December. Gonadal recrudescence was correlated with increasing photoperiod. Fecundity estimates ranged as high as 8599. Maximum estimated age of blue tilapia in this system was 4+ years. Growth was rapid; estimated total lengths at ages I, II, III, and IV were 280, 359, 397, and 423 mm, respectively. Scale rings of males were unreliable annuli.
