Veterinarians often come into contact with the law in cases of animal cruelty, domestic animal and wildlife crimes, and human crimes with an animal element. This book provides practical training, covering how to operate in a crime scene, work with emergency service personnel, collect evidence, prepare reports and provide evidence in court.

Based on the international conference 'Enhanced Genepool Utilization: Capturing wild relative and landrace diversity for crop improvement', this book addresses all aspects of utilization and conservation of crop wild relative (CWR) and landrace (LR) diversity for crop improvement.

In this book experts explain and discuss the latest biotechnological advances in cereal crop science, including the latest results of gene editing techniques.

This book is designed for those who wish to improve upon past risk practices, make better management decisions and ensure safer operating environments. It includes an explanation of the core underpinning concepts of risk and safety, numerous applied examples and case studies, and explanations of the key legal and regulatory underpinnings.

It is anticipated that the damage to crops and forests by insects will increase as a consequence of climate change. However, the evidence in support of this is sparse. This book sums up present knowledge regarding both agricultural and forest insect pests and climate change in order to identify future research directions.

Following the author's Farm Business Management series, this textbook takes the core principles and techniques and distils them into an accessible student resource. It covers aspects of farm management such as observation, decision making, budgeting, risk assessment and record keeping, and includes student-focused pedagogy throughout.

Covering the applied managerial perspective of the travel industry, this book teaches effective skills by reviewing legal frameworks, quality management and marketing, financial management, and the management of shareholders and stakeholders. It discusses trends such as sustainability and includes a revised structure and international case studies.

This book contains chapters adapted from the Third International Symposium-Workshop on Frugivores and Seed Dispersal held in August 2000 in Rio Quente, Brazil.

Packed with illustrations, this book covers the origins, botany, agroecology and worldwide production statistics of coffee, and the insect pests, plant pathogens, nematodes and nutrient deficiencies that afflict it.

This book examines the future of Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine (KRU region) in global agricultural markets. It reviews the meat, dairy, fruits and vegetable sectors with particular attention paid to the potential expansion of the grain sector. It also examines environmental constraints and trade-offs, sustainability and climate change.

This book presents South Asia as a case study, due to the high soil erosion caused by monsoon rainfall and geophysical conditions in the region, which necessitate conservation agriculture approaches, and the high percentage of people in South Asia relying on subsistence and traditional farming.

This book provides a comprehensive account of the relevance of historical studies to current conservation and management of forests. It combines theory with a series of regional case studies to show how different aspects of forestry play out according to the landscape and historical context of the local area.

Chickens are the world's most widely farmed animal, at the centre of debates regarding housing and production systems. This accessible book covers sensory biology, behavioural development, preferences and aversions, social behaviour, learning and cognition, behavioural issues in different systems and solutions for behavioural problems.

The relationship between nutrition and behaviour is bi-directional, with nutrition able to affect activity, and behavior impacting diet and food intake. This book shows how behaviour may determine choices through peer modelling and poor dietary habits. Micronutrients and eating disorders are addressed, with a review of research methods and results.

The trade in live and dead animals and animal parts is a significant aspect of the global economy, but economic considerations are at odds with animal welfare. This book discusses the background to modern international trade, welfare, and the environmental, economic and cultural issues for farm, zoo and sport animals as well as the pet industry.

Our ancestors chose to cultivate some plant species and not others. Through years of association with humans, these wild plants have been changed so that the crops we eat often hardly resemble their wild progenitors. Arranged into broad themes depicting the history of domestication, this book documents the history and biology of over 40 crops.

This book describes the use of Bt crops and the emerging problem of resistance. Covering recent progress in understanding the mechanism of action of Bt toxins, different resistance mechanisms and strategies to cope with resistance in the field, it reviews successes and failures from around the world.

This text provides an innovative approach to the pedagogy of contemporary planning processes within different cultural contexts. It has a multi-disciplinary approach and through the inclusion of international case studies, considers how intelligent design has enabled disabled residents and visitors to have access to spaces and facilities.

In a changing climate, livestock production must adapt in order to meet the challenge of food security. This book approaches the issues of livestock production and climate change by addressing issues such feed quality and availability, abiotic stresses, livestock generated pollution, species diversity, reproduction and amelioration of methane.

Invasive pests and pathogens place biological pressure on valuable resident species, but strict bans may conflict with trading and travel needs. An overview of how the conflict can be managed using pest risk mapping and modelling, this book uses worked examples to explain modelling and help development of tool kits for assessment.

Farmers face risks from the weather, crop and livestock performance, pests and diseases, as well as institutional, personal and business risks. This book includes updated chapters on theory and methods and a new chapter on the state-contingent approach to the analysis of production and the use of copulas to better model stochastic dependency.

Shifting cultivation supports around 200 million people in the Asia-Pacific region alone. This book contains a comprehensive analysis of past and present policy, highlighting success and failure and emphasizing the importance of getting it right for the future.

This book covers the entire gamut of oilseed brassicas. It reviews genetics and genomics (including breeding, heterosis and selection methods) and stress management and important pathogens, to provide a complete overview of brassica oilseeds.

This book covers Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) and Mycobacterium leprae across a range of host species. They are considered in regards to increasing drug resistance, HIV co-infection associated with M. tuberculosis and the possible cross-infection of badgers and cattle associated with M. bovis.

This book deals with how tourism can change behaviour and have a positive impact.
