The Physiology of Industry
Author: John Atkinson Hobson
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781528715072
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
First published in 1889, "The Physiology of Industry" is an influential treatise by British economist on John Atkinson Hobson that outlines some of the key areas of his theory of underconsumption. Within it, Hobson analyses the nature of production by considering the influence of the supply of gold on the economy, the connection between consumption and wealth, and the law of supply and demand. Contents include: "Scope of Production", "Quantitative Relation of Wealth to Consumption", "The Physiology of Production - The Law of Supply and Demand", "Over-production and Economic Checks", "Expansion and Contraction of Trade", "The Law of the Limiting Requisite", "Scarcity of Gold as an Economic Factor", etc. John Atkinson Hobson (1858 - 1940) was an English social scientist and economist most famous for his work on imperialism-which notably had an influence on Vladimir Lenin-as well as his theory of underconsumption. His early work also questioned the classical theory of rent and predicted the Neoclassical "marginal productivity" theory of distribution. Other notable works by this author include: "Evolution of Modern Capitalism" (1894), "Problem of the Unemployed" (1896), and "John Ruskin: Social Reformer" (1898). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.

The Physiology Of Tropical Orchids In Relation To The Industry
Author: Choy Sin Hew
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814498246
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
Over the past ten years, the orchid industry is growing at a steady pace in the South East Asia and East Asia regions. In some Asian countries, orchids have become an essential export item. To maintain this progress, there is an urgent need for a book that is relevant to the region orchid growers in improving their cultivation and management skills, and to guide new students in understanding orchid physiology. This book provides a comprehensive account of tropical orchid physiology relevant to commercial growers, research workers and graduate students. An integrated and unifying theme of tropical orchid physiology, with a clearly written factual text and illustration, is presented over nine chapters. Each chapter is designed to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date information on an aspect of orchid physiology. This book complements the existing scientific literature available to improve orchid cultivation and to set new research agenda especially in the tropics.

Higher and Colder
Author: Vanessa Heggie
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022665088X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
During the long twentieth century, explorers went in unprecedented numbers to the hottest, coldest, and highest points on the globe. Taking us from the Himalaya to Antarctica and beyond, Higher and Colder presents the first history of extreme physiology, the study of the human body at its physical limits. Each chapter explores a seminal question in the history of science, while also showing how the apparently exotic locations and experiments contributed to broader political and social shifts in twentieth-century scientific thinking. Unlike most books on modern biomedicine, Higher and Colder focuses on fieldwork, expeditions, and exploration, and in doing so provides a welcome alternative to laboratory-dominated accounts of the history of modern life sciences. Though centered on male-dominated practices—science and exploration—it recovers the stories of women’s contributions that were sometimes accidentally, and sometimes deliberately, erased. Engaging and provocative, this book is a history of the scientists and physiologists who face challenges that are physically demanding, frequently dangerous, and sometimes fatal, in the interest of advancing modern science and pushing the boundaries of human ability.

Postharvest
Author: R. B. H. Wills
Publisher: Cabi
ISBN: 9781786391483
Category : Fruit
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
This book contains 12 chapters focusing on the basic tenets of postharvest technology of fruits and vegetables and how this influences their postharvest behaviour. Key information about their composition, biochemistry, respiration and physiology are presented. The importance of the management of temperature and humidity for maintaining fresh quality is discussed. The susceptibility of fresh produce to various pathogenic diseases and physiological disorders and their identification and control by environmentally friendly methods are pointed out and technologies that are adjuncts to temperature management, i.e. atmosphere control, controlled ripening, packaging and transport, are highlighted. The principles underlying the food safety based quality assurance systems that also meet environmental requirements are outlined. The influence of consumers on the marketing and storage of fruit and vegetables are also examined.
