Content: This book offers intimate readings of a diverse range of global autobiographical literature with an emphasis on the (re)presentation of the physical body. The twelve texts presented here include philosophical autobiography (Nietzsche), autobiographies of self-experimentation (Gandhi and Mishima), literary autobiography (Hemingway, Das) as well as other genres of autobiography, including the graphic novel (Spiegelman, Satrapi), as also documentations of tragedy and injustice and subsequent spiritual overcoming (Ambedkar, Pawar, Angelou, Wiesel).In exploring different literary forms and orientations of the autobiographies, the work remains constantly attuned to the physical body, a focus generally absent from literary criticism and philosophy or study of leading historical personages, with the exception of patches within phenomenological philosophy and feminism. The book delves into how the authors treated here deal with the flesh through their autobiographical writing and in what way they embody the essential relationship between flesh, spirit and word. It analyses some seminal texts such as Ecce Homo, The Story of My Experiments with Truth, Waiting for a Visa, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, A Moveable Feast, Night, Baluta, My Story, Sun and Steel, The Philosophy of Andy Warhol, MAUS and Persepolis. Lucid, bold and authoritative, this book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of philosophy, literature, gender studies, political philosophy, media and popular culture, social exclusion, and race and discrimination studies

Series Statement: Developments in Soil Science 34

Content: Over the past 20 years, synchrotron-based research applications have provided important insight into the geochemical cycling of ions and the chemical and crystallographic properties of minerals in soils and sediments. Of particular significance is the understanding of local coordination environments with the use of X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The high flux and brightness of the X-ray beams have allowed researchers to work at environmentally relevant concentrations. The use of focusing mirrors and apertures which allow for mapping and trace particle surfaces, microbes, roots, channels and elements at the micron and at a nano-meter scale in 2 and 3D have also been a great enhancement to science. This book provides the most up-to-date information on synchrotron-based research applications in the field of soil, sediment and earth sciences. Invited authors provide chapters on a wide range of research topics including multiphase flow and transport processes (physical aspects), rhizosphere and microbial life (biological aspects), and dynamics of C, N, S, P and heavy metals and metalloids (chemical aspects). In addition, perspectives on the impact of synchrotron based applications, particularly X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and the role of synchrotron applications in remediation, regulatory, and decision making processes are considered. Up to date, with the latest research results and techniques in synchrotron-based techniques Information on specific techniques, elements and minerals, regulatory and remediation decision making, contaminants and the impact of X-ray absorption spectroscopy on soil science Internationally recognized leaders in their fields of expertise from Europe, North America, Asia and Australia

Series Statement: CABI climate change series 9

Content: This book is a compendium of studies on climate change challenges and adaptations at the farm level, capturing research carried out across the continents of Asia and Africa. Chapter 1 is on the introduction to climate change vulnerability and adaptation strategies with rural farm-level perspective. Chapter 2 discusses the analytical framework and methodologies for analysing farm level vulnerability in the region. Chapter 3 examines the trends of climate and extreme events in the region and expounds on the critical question of what is the extent of changing climate. Chapter 4 gives the results of farmers' perception on climate and socioeconomic trends with respect to climate change. Chapter 5 gives a meso- or macrolevel perspective of climate change on food security in Asia and Africa. Chapter 6 evaluates crop-level adaptation options to current and future climatic trends using crop simulation experiments and Chapter 7 assesses the impact of climate change adaptation strategies for small farmers in Kenya, Africa. Chapter 8 gives the results of farm-level analysis of climate change adaptation from Niger and Burkina Faso. Chapter 9 gives details of importance of sociological studies in understanding climate change resilience among communities and their coping strategies. Chapter 10 describes the results of the analysis in identifying policy options towards climate resilience in Ghana, Africa. Chapter 11 is a synthesis of key messages from the micro-level analysis and identifies constraints and opportunities in adaptation, and the final chapter, Chapter 12, gives the key recommendations for enhanced options for adaptation against climate change and furthermore in strengthening the path towards climate resilience in the region. The book reiterates that climate change adaptation and mitigation are a practical necessity, as well as a moral imperative at the grassroots level: farm, household and community, as they significantly affect agriculture. This book will definitely serve as a valuable reference for development practitioners, academics, researchers, agricultural scientists, etc. who are interested in the topic of climate change and its consequences.
