Book excerpt: This inspiring story of a post-Katrina classroom “reminds us all that heroes hold small hands on field trips, clean paint brushes, and sing morning songs” (Phillip Done, author of 32 Third Graders and One Class Bunny: Life Lessons from Teaching). As floodwaters from Hurricane Katrina surged at their heels, those fleeing New Orleans had their minds more on safety than on whether their children would be missing school. But when a group of evacuee parents who settled in New Iberia, Louisiana, realized they would not be returning home quickly, they set about reconstructing their families’ lives. And so they turned to beloved New Orleans schoolteacher Paul Reynaud, whose fierce determination and unwavering spirit transformed an abandoned office into a one-room schoolhouse. This is the story of Sugarcane Academy: twenty-five students, their devoted parents, an inspiring teacher, and the boundless power of learning. “This wonderful memoir manages to do what a flood of news-reporting could not: see the tragedy of Katrina through the eyes of children. The story of the Sugarcane Academy, an improvised one-room school in a sugarcane parish in south Louisiana, will be one of the lasting books of our tragedy.” —Andrei Codrescu, author of New Orleans, Mon Amour: Twenty Years of Writings from the City

Download or read book Sugar and Sugar Derivatives Changing Consumer Preferences written by Narendra Mohan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-24 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sugarcane enjoys a prominent position among agro-industrial crops and is commercially grown in 115 tropical and subtropical countries around the world. However, fluctuations in sugar prices have forced the sugarcane industry worldwide to broaden its revenue base by moving from single-commodity manufacturing to a range of value-added products. Utilizing the by-products in an innovative manner to create value-added products is the new course of action for sugar-producing countries. For many years sugarcane was regarded as a single-product crop, i.e., only useful for producing sugar. Its actual potential is now increasingly being recognised by the industry and there is a growing trend toward the manufacturing of allied products from sugarcane. Therefore, the focus is now on the establishment of sugar-agro-industry complexes, processing not just sugar but a range of other products. This book provides a comprehensive overview of sugarcane not only as a source of sweetening agents but also for many other uses, including as a source of bio-energy. It also explores the trend of sugar consumption and suggests practices to curb the consumption of sugar products in order to tackle obesity and reduce public health costs. The book underscores the need to diversify sugarcane and highlights means of doing so, while also addressing various innovations and technologies being developed in connection with sugar, sugar derivatives, and sugar industry by-products for sustainable utilization in the sugar-agro industry. Accordingly, it offers a valuable resource for professionals and R&D units in the sugar industry, and for students of agronomy and related fields.

Download or read book Omics Driven Crop Improvement for Stress Tolerance volume II written by Weicong Qi and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-09-04 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change and global warming are arising threats to ecology and agriculture, and the biotic and abiotic stresses on crop cultivation are becoming more severe. Simultaneously, hunger and poverty remain widespread around the world and are rather thriving with the global population increases, over-fertilization, and land degradation. Rising challenges therefore make the adaptation of agriculture to the environment even more pivotal. Plant tolerance against various stress, including abiotic and biotic stresses mostly, is a classic topic and also a hot spot, of which the goal is to provide possibilities to improve the crops’ sustainability in coping with varied environments. Sustainable crop improvement can help feed the growing population in such an era of shrinking arable land and dwindling water resources. Worldwide, the inexorable exposure of plants to the environment makes crops always come to cross biotic and abiotic stresses, which constantly affect the food supply. Scientists have devoted efforts to improve crop resistance against devastating stressors such as drought, salt, nutrition deprivation, pests and pathogens, etc., and save yields from destruction. With the explosive development of omics technologies, e.g., genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, interactomics, and phenomics, crop improvement is embarking on a fire-new bioinformatics era. The integration of multi-omics will provide new perspectives to understand the intricate nature of stress response in crops
