Download or read book Wine and Tourism written by Marta Peris-Ortiz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to show how wine tourism can be used as a model for sustainable economic development, driving economic growth and social development in some locations. It will explore the interaction between tourism and viticulture in wine tourism destinations, while also explaining some of the repercussions of these activities. This book covers various topics including regional development, environmental management, sustainable viticulture, quality management in wineries and wine tourism routes among others. Wine tourism, which combines two important yet distinct economic activities (i.e., tourism and viticulture), has recently emerged as a new tourism product driven by tourists’ search for new experiences and wineries’ need to diversify their businesses and seek new revenue streams to boost sales. This new form of tourism, which typically takes place in rural areas and which combines wine production with tourist activities, is becoming important for such regions by providing a complementary income source. It provides a model for sustainable economic development for these regions, which for various reasons may otherwise struggle to develop. Featuring cases and business implications from various locations, this book provides an important source of knowledge—both theoretical and practical—suitable to academics, scholars, researchers, and practitioners in the tourism sector and the wine industry.

Download or read book Plant Genomics written by Ibrokhim Y. Abdurakhmonov and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2016-07-14 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant genomics aims to sequence, characterize, and study the genetic compositions, structures, organizations, functions, and interactions/networks of an entire plant genome. Its development and advances are tightly interconnected with proteomics, metabolomics, metagenomics, transgenomics, genomic selection, bioinformatics, epigenomics, phenomics, system biology, modern instrumentation, and robotics sciences. Plant genomics has significantly advanced over the past three decades in the land of inexpensive, high-throughput sequencing technologies and fully sequenced over 100 plant genomes. These advances have broad implications in every aspect of plant biology and breeding, powered with novel genomic selection and manipulation tools while generating many grand challenges and tasks ahead. This Plant genomics provides some updated discussions on current advances, challenges, and future perspectives of plant genome studies and applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where oceans, land and atmosphere meet, three dynamic forces contribute to the physical and ecological evolution of coastlines. Coasts are responsive systems, dynamic with identifiable inputs and outputs of energy and material. In chapters illustrated and furnished with topical case studies from around the world, this book establishes the importance of coasts within a systems framework - waves, tides, rivers and sea-level change all play critical roles in the evolution of our coasts.

Book excerpt: ?? Giant molecules are important in our everyday life. But, as pointed out by the authors, they are also associated with a culture. What Bach did with the harpsichord, Kuhn and Flory did with polymers. We owe a lot of thanks to those who now make this music accessible ??Pierre-Gilles de GennesNobel Prize laureate in Physics(Foreword for the 1st Edition, March 1996)This book describes the basic facts, concepts and ideas of polymer physics in simple, yet scientifically accurate, terms. In both scientific and historic contexts, the book shows how the subject of polymers is fascinating, as it is behind most of the wonders of living cell machinery as well as most of the newly developed materials. No mathematics is used in the book beyond modest high school algebra and a bit of freshman calculus, yet very sophisticated concepts are introduced and explained, ranging from scaling and reptations to protein folding and evolution. The new edition includes an extended section on polymer preparation methods, discusses knots formed by molecular filaments, and presents new and updated materials on such contemporary topics as single molecule experiments with DNA or polymer properties of proteins and their roles in biological evolution.

This book was released on 2019-07-29 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Técnicas de manejo de la vegetación del viñedo para mitigar los efectos de las altas temperaturas y del calentamiento climático El objetivo de este libro es el de recoger y presentar una serie de trabajos de investigación y reflexiones, desarrollados por mi grupo de investigación en los últimos años, sobre las técnicas vitícolas disponibles para mitigar o contrarrestar los efectos negativos de las altas temperaturas y del calentamiento climático. Dentro de esas posibles técnicas de cultivo, me centro especialmente en las técnicas de manejo de la vegetación, ya que las considero más interesantes porque pueden aplicarse sobre viñedos ya instalados, sin necesidad de recurrir al establecimiento de nuevos viñedos, como es el caso de otras técnicas que abordan la ubicación del viñedo en zonas más frescas o la utilización de nuevo material vegetal mejor adaptado. Y, dentro de las técnicas de manejo de la vegetación, dedico una atención especial a aquellas cuyo efecto consiste en el retraso de la maduración de la uva, ya que el efecto negativo fundamental y más claro de las altas temperaturas es el de provocar un adelanto en la maduración de la uva, por lo que dicha maduración se desarrolla más rápidamente y en un período más cálido. Fernando Martínez de Toda Fernández, es Viticultor, Dr. Ingeniero Agrónomo y Catedrático de Viticultura de la Universidad de La Rioja. Con cuarenta años de experiencia docente e investigadora, ha publicado una veintena de libros, monografías y capítulos de libro y más de doscientos artículos científicos y técnicos sobre diferentes aspectos de la viticultura. Entre sus premios y distinciones destacan los Premios Internacionales de Viticultura concedidos por la Oficina Internacional de la Viña y del Vino (OIV) en los años 1986, 1991, 2003 y 2008.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta obra en su quinta edición se compone de dos volúmenes, que recogen el conocimiento técnico en todo lo referente a la historia y cultivo del viñedo a nivel mundial, aunque estando especialmente adaptada a la realidad española. Comienza con la historia de la vid y su cultivo en el mundo, describiendo a continuación de forma ordenada y estructurada, la fisiología y organografía de este cultivo, también el clima y suelo como medios de cultivo, siguiendo por la forma de multiplicarla y plantarla, gestionarla en lo referente a las operaciones de cultivo del suelo, poda, manejo de la vegetación, riego, fertilización, así como también sus plagas, enfermedades, accidentes meteorológicos y la forma de combatirlos. Se completa con otras formas de estudio, como las viticulturas de precisión, ecológica-biodinámica, tropical, uvas de mesa, pasas, etc., para terminar con un interesante apartado de análisis de costes vitícolas. Ambos autores han sido acreedores a seis premios de Viticultura y Enología otorgados por el máximo ente mundial en estas materias, la Organización Internacional de la Viña y el Vino (OIV), que confirma su solvencia docente y profesional, constituyendo un hecho sin parangón en el actual sector Vitivinícola a nivel mundial.
