Book Description
The Little Rattuses™ are back! And it's like they were never away. We skipped over the Letter K for a while for technical reasons and went several letters beyond it, but finally, I found a way to do what I wanted, which is to talk about colors in the world, and how we and others see them. Very nearly everything in this story was created with AI, but laid out and put together by me, which was a lot more work than it ought to have been. Apart from the cover, and some photographs of flowers and insects inside, most of it is AI-generated, but this is a one-off and it's back to regularly-illustrated Rattuses next time out: AI has a long way to go. Meanwhile the fun-loving and irreverent Rattuses can help your child can learn about colors, about how your eye works, and a tiny bit about art.

This is not your great-grandfather's Christmas Carol! Ben is a successful casting director working out of San Francisco. He has access to a host of aspiring actresses who come to him looking to get into the movies, but just because he can find the right person for the right part doesn't mean he has a decent character. Ben's problem isn't his lack of financial charity, it's his lack of respect for any gender that's not him. On Christmas Eve, he's visited by his dead partner, who tells him he's doomed to a miserable after-party if he can't stop irresponsibly partying in this life. Can the ghosts of relationships past and the non-conforming and flamboyant ghosts of things to come wise Ben up to the wisdom of MeToo or will he end up condemned to a cold and lonely TooMe?

Parasitic helminths and zoonoses in Africa
Author: P. Craig
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 940113054X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
Helminths include one of the most diverse and geographically widespread groups of parasites which infect humans and animals. About 100 species have been reported from humans, usually producing asymptomatic infection or mild symptoms. However, about 20 species are of public health importance causing severe or even fatal infections. In many parts of Africa parasitic helminths are responsible for enormous economic losses, hampering rural development programmes and reducing the pace of economic growth. Many parasitic helminths are either zoonoses (diseases naturally transmitted between vertebrate animals and man) or have evolved from animal parasites. The modification of the environment through wars, famine and the ever expanding and increasingly mobile human population brings people into close contact with new environments and wildlife species which makes the study and control of zoonoses of special interest and complexity. In Africa, the transmission of helminth parasites is highly influenced by the ever changing social and cultural differences between diverse groups of peoples and their interaction with wild and domestic animals. It is not surprising, therefore, that approaches to the study and control of parasitic zoonoses require intersectoral cooperation between physicians, veterinarians, parasitologists, zoologists, demographers, anthropologists, engineers and economists to provide the breadth of knowledge and expertise required to develop our understanding of these diseases and to devise methods for their control. This book provides a selective compilation of parasitic helminths, many of which are zoonoses which create important economic and public health problems in Africa.

Morality by Degrees
Author: Alastair Norcross
Publisher:
ISBN: 0198844999
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
Alastair Norcross argues that the basic judgments of morality are essentially comparative: alternatives are judged to be better or worse than each other. Notions such as right and wrong are not part of the fundamental subject matter of moral theory, but are constructed in a context-relative fashion out of the basic comparative judgments.

Agroforestry in Sustainable Agricultural Systems
Author: Louise E. Buck
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9781420049473
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 434
Book Description
Agroforestry in Sustainable Agricultural Systems examines the environmental and social conditions that affect the roles and performance of trees in field- and forest-based agricultural production systems. Various types of ecological settings for agroforestry are analyzed within temperate and tropical regions. The roles of soil, water, light, nutrient and pest management in mixed, annual, woody perennial and livestock systems are discussed. Important new case studies from around the world offer innovative strategies that have been used successfully in raising forests and tree products on a sustainable basis for commercial harvesting and for providing other environmental services in land conservation and watershed management.
