  • Diversifying Food and Diets, Using Agricultural Biodiversity to Improve
    Diversifying Food and Diets Currently 868 million people are undernourished and 195 million children under five years of age are stunted. At the same time, over 1 billion people are overweight and obese in both the developed and developing world. Diseases previously associated with affluence, such as cancer, diabetes and cardio-vascular disease, are on the rise. Food system-based approaches to addressing these problems that could enhance food availability and diet quality through local production and agricultural biodiversity often fall outside the traditional scope of nutrition, and have been under-researched. As a consequence, there remains insufficient evidence to support well-defined, scalable agricultural biodiversity interventions that can be linked to improvements in nutrition outcomes. Agricultural biodiversity is important for food and nutritional security, as a safeguard against hunger, a source of nutrients for improved dietary diversity and quality, and strengthening local food systems and environmental sustainability. This book explores the current state of knowledge on the role of agricultural biodiversity in improving nutrition and food security. Using examples and case studies from around the globe, the book explores current strategies for improving nutrition and diets and identifies key research and implementation gaps that need to be addressed to successfully promote the better use of agricultural biodiversity for rural and urban populations, and societies in transition. Jessica Fanzo was formerly a Senior Scientist with Bioversity International and is now an Associate Professor of Nutrition at Columbia University in New York. Danny Hunter is the Global Project Coordinator at Bioversity International for the UNEP/FAO/GEF project ‘Mainstreaming biodiversity conservation and sustainable use for improved human nutrition and wellbeing’ and Adjunct Associate Professor, School of Agriculture and Wine Sciences, Charles Sturt University, Australia.

S. Assay Office. One Volume) Royal Octa-ro—Price $4;* FROM THE PREFACE. " To realize for Chemistry its true character of a science—to render it a ' system illustrated and proved by experiment,' there is an indispen- sable need of proficiency in those manual operations of the laboratory, by means of which chemical changes are induced, observed and estimated. This accomplishment in manipulation— tliis expertness in handling and adjusting implements, it is true, depends upon time and practice; but, although the student may not become an adept in the art, solely from written instructions, yet much may be thus taught which will lighten his labours, and smooth the way to the acquisition of skill and accuracy. "Such is the object of the present work; and it has been made to com- prise practical lessons upon the mechanical and cliemico-mcchanical businer'S of the chemist, in reference both to the exact detail of analytic research, and the more extended processes of pharmaceutical science. Explanatory drawings of important forms of apparatus, too, have been profusely employed to give greater intelligibility to the text; and, while the authors liave drawn largely from their own personal experience, they have not neglected to make available all the useful information that was to be derived from other sources.

  • The Star Carr Fungi Harry K
    CHAPTER 31 The Star Carr Fungi Harry K. Robson Introduction ‘Quantities of a large bracket fungus identified by Mr E. J. H. Corner of the Botany School, Cambridge University, were found. A few specimens adhered to birch stems, but most are presumed to have been gathered. In some examples the flesh has been stripped off, possibly for use, as Mr Corner suggests, as tinder (amadou).’ (Clark 1954, 18) Although Clark (1954) referenced the original report by Corner (1950), which was based on the fungi recov- ered from the 1950 excavation campaign, he does not provide any further information on the assemblage. Consequently there is no way of knowing whether any further specimens were recovered during the 1949 and 1951 excavation campaigns. Moreover, neither Corner (1950) nor Clark (1954) stated how many specimens were found or provided any quantification for the number of specimens that were burnt or modified. From the archive mapping undertaken by Milner et al. (2013a), at least 11 specimens are known to exist. A total of nine specimens were recorded in the collections at the Rotunda Museum in Scarborough. In addition, one is presently on display at the Whitby Museum (Milner et al. 2013b), and another one is on display at the British Museum. Corner’s report (1950) states that the large bracket fungus was identified based on the microscopic structure and comparison with recently collected specimens. According to Corner (1950), the absence of spores was attributable to their germination in water or to their decay. However, it was also noted that spores have not been recorded on living specimens, except during the spring, and so it is possible that those from Star Carr may have been collected during the summer or autumn months ‘when it is usual for “foresters” to fell trees or to collect bark (in preference to spring when the sap is rising and makes the wood wet and the implement clog)’ (Corner 1950, 124).
