Taylor & Francis Ltd Asian Gardens History Beliefs and Design
Book SynopsisThe gardens made on the fringes of Central Asia in the past 5000 years form a great arc. From the Fertile Crescent, it runs west to Europe and east to China and Japan. Asia''s fringe was a zone of interchange: a vast landscape in which herders encountered farmers and the design of symbolic gardens began. It appears that as they became settlers, nomads retained a love of mobility, hunting and the wild places in which their ancestors had roamed. Central Asian and Indian ideas influenced the garden culture of China, Japan and South East Asia.In West Asia, Aryan settlers made hunting parks known as paradises. They were walled enclosures stocked with exotic plants and animals. In East Asia, great landscape parks were used for similar purposes and had a sacred role. Across Asia, gardens were influenced by religious and other beliefs: polytheist, Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Daoist, Shinto and Modernist. Early parks and gardens symbolized wild and civilized nature, sometimes conceived aTrade Review"Here Turner—with his characteristic use of summary diagrams and tightly structured analyses—charges through polytheist, Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, Daoist, and Shinto gardens of West, South, East, and North Asia, with a welcome concluding chapter on abstract modernism.

Taylor & Francis Ltd British Gardens History philosophy and design
Book SynopsisGarden design began in West Asia and spread through Europe. This book tells how, in the British Isles, it flourished to an extraordinary degree. Following the historical method in Tom Turnerâs books on Asian gardens (2010) and European gardens (2011), it uses almost 1000 colour photographs, plans and style diagrams to provide a word and image history of garden design. Individual chapters cover the Celtic, Roman, Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassical, Romantic, Arts and Crafts, Modern and Postmodern periods. Additional information about the gardens in the book is available on the Gardenvisit.com website, which the author edits http://www.gardenvisit.com/history_theory/british_gardens_companionTrade Review"A guide to an understanding of the ideas we bring to bear in making our own gardens and enjoying those of others" - The RHS Garden magazine"Tom Turner appears to be on a mission to write the definitive historical account of gardens. He has already covered European and Asian gardens, and has now delivered an account of the development of gardens closer to home. The latest arrival delivers a narrative mix of academic research interspersed with idiosyncratic observations, balanced with photos and diagrams articulating the key design principles of the reviewed sites and historical periods."— Darryl Moore, Garden Design Journal Review of Asian Gardens:"Here Turner—with his characteristic use of summary diagrams and tightly structured analyses—charges through polytheist, Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, Daoist, and Shinto gardens of West, South, East, and North Asia, with a welcome concluding chapter on abstract modernism.

Apple Academic Press Inc. Peanut Agriculture and Production Technology:
Book SynopsisPeanut Agriculture and Production Technology: Integrated Nutrient Management focuses on agricultural techniques and integrated nutrient management of peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.). Peanuts are the second most important oil crop of India, occupying 5.7 million hectares, with an average production of 0.8 ton/ha, which is 23.5% of the India’s total oil seed production. Worldwide annual production of shelled peanuts was 42 million metric tons in 2014. It is the world’s 4th most important source of edible oil and the 3rd most important source of vegetable protein. The volume includes basic and advanced information on production, agrotechniques, and integrated nutrient management of Arachis hypogaea L. crop plant. It studies the physiology of the peanut, looking at the proper environmental conditions for optimal growth as well as under various subnormal conditions. It explores the methods of nitrogen application as well as the influence of different sowing dates and population densities to harvest its full yield potential. The book covers methods to achieve balanced nutrition, including using organic manures in groundnut farming to enhance yielding ability.The book will be a rich resource for those in agriculture, horticulture, and allied sciences, particularly for agricultural scientists in plant and crop physiology, agronomy, and soil science. Farm owners and managers of peanut crops and production will also benefit from the information provided in this volume. Trade Review"Generates a vast pool of data and information on agrotechniques, which are always the bottleneck in improving productivity of any crop. . . The information presented in this book will prove useful to growers. The methodology used is robust. Very useful."—From the Foreword by Dr. Bir Pal Singh, Central Potato Research Institute, Indian Counsel of Agricultural Research"Provides a detailed account of the various factors responsible for the varying production of groundnut, and the protection technologies chosen for the development of short duration high-yielding varieties. In addition, the role of integrated nutrient management and organic manure in the enhanced production of groundnut is also highlighted. I congratulate the editors for their extensive research work in generating the useful data required for groundnut production at the local level. The suggested technologies may solve the malnutrition problem among the large vegetarian population and also be a source of income generation for farmers. The book is useful for the students, academicians, researchers, and scientist interested in the agronomy, horticulture, plant physiology and soil science. Moreover, it is also useful for the stockholders—farmers and agricultural planners interested in boosting the yield of the groundnut."— Dr. Mohd.

Apple Academic Press Inc. Advances in Postharvest Technologies of Vegetable
Book SynopsisThis book presents a selection of innovative postharvest management practices for vegetables. It covers technologies in harvesting, handling, and storage of vegetables, including strategies for low-temperature storage of vegetables, active and smart packaging of vegetables, edible coatings, application of nanotechnology in postharvest technology of vegetable crops, and more. It considers most of the important areas of vegetable processing while maintaining nutritional quality and addressing safety issues.Fruits and vegetables are important sources of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds, which provide many health benefits. However, due to poor postharvest management—such as non-availability of cold chain management and low-cost processing facilities, large quantities of vegetables perish before they reach the consumer. Furthermore, higher temperatures in some regions also contribute to an increased level of postharvest losses. With chapters written by experts in the postharvest handling of vegetable, this volume addresses these challenges. It is devoted to presenting both new and innovative technologies as well as advancements in traditional technologies.Table of ContentsBioactive Pigments in Vegetables. Pre- and Postharvest Losses in Vegetables. Maturity Indices in Vegetables: An Overview. Non-Destructive Quality Evaluation of Vegetables. Breeding for Improving Nutritional Qualities and Shelf Life of Vegetable Crops. Biotechnological Applications in Post-Harvest Management of Vegetable Crops. Edible Coatings: Safe Way to Enhance Shelf Life of Vegetable Crops. Strategies for Low-Temperature Storage of Vegetables. Active and Smart Packaging Techniques in Vegetables. Antinutritional Compounds in Vegetables. Minimal Processing of Vegetables. Novel Non-Thermal Processing of Vegetables. Encapsulation of Bio-Active Compounds from Vegetables for Better Nutraceutical Delivery. Fermentation Technology in Vegetables. Recent Development in Dehydration of Vegetable Crops. Microbial Safety and Quality Assurance in Vegetables. Pre- and Post-Harvest Pesticide Contamination Management for Production of Quality Vegetables.

Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh Guide to Collecting Living Plants in the Field
Book SynopsisIn a time of continuing habitat destruction and species loss it is vitally important to ensure that fundamental botanical work is being carried out in order to identify, assess and conserve biodiversity around the world. Much of this work is dependent on the collection of living plant material that can then be made available for current and future research.More than 17,500 unique types of plants are grown in the four gardens (Edinburgh, Benmore, Dawyck and Logan) of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh and, on average, more than half of these are of known wild origin. Written by the team that is responsible for this collection on a day-to-day basis and from the field to the glasshouse, Guide to Collecting Living Plants in the Field provides a best practice standard for making good living plant collections in the field.Subjects covered include permits, equipment, data collecting and the aftercare of collected specimens. Individual sections cover the collection of seed and fruit, spores, cuttings, plants and seedlings and rhizomes, tubers and bulbs.This pocket-sized booklet presents the basic information in a clear, concise format making it an essential guide for students and early career researchers, as well as botanists and ecologists who may not have been trained in collecting techniques. The design of Guide to Collecting Living Plants in the Field means that it can fit into a pocket, making it easy to take into the field as an informative quick reference guide to collecting living plants.
