Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the puzzling phenomenon of new veiling practices among lower middle class women in Cairo, Egypt. Although these women are part of a modernizing middle class, they also voluntarily adopt a traditional symbol of female subordination. How can this paradox be explained? An explanation emerges which reconceptualizes what appears to be reactionary behavior as a new style of political struggle--as accommodating protest. These women, most of them clerical workers in the large government bureaucracy, are ambivalent about working outside the home, considering it a change which brings new burdens as well as some important benefits. At the same time they realize that leaving home and family is creating an intolerable situation of the erosion of their social status and the loss of their traditional identity. The new veiling expresses women's protest against this. MacLeod argues that the symbolism of the new veiling emerges from this tense subcultural dilemma, involving elements of both resistance and acquiescence.

Download or read book Tracing Early Agriculture in the Highlands of New Guinea written by Tim Denham and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-06-28 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, historical narratives chart how people created forms of agriculture in the highlands of New Guinea and how these practices were transformed through time. The intention is twofold: to clearly establish New Guinea as a region of early agricultural development and plant domestication; and, to develop a contingent, practice-based interpretation of early agriculture that has broader application to other regions of the world. The multi-disciplinary record from the highlands has the potential to challenge and change long held assumptions regarding early agriculture globally, which are usually based on domestication. Early agriculture in the highlands is charted by an exposition of the practices of plant exploitation and cultivation. Practices are ontologically prior because they ultimately produce the phenotypic and genotypic changes in plant species characterised as domestication, as well as the social and environmental transformations associated with agriculture. They are also methodologically prior because they emplace plants in specific historico-geographic contexts.
Download or read book The Plant Diversity of Malesia written by P. Baas and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the only publication with a realistic claim to the title "The plant diver sity of Malesia" is Flora Malesiana itself, we have hesitatingly chosen this title for the present proceedings volume. Past, present and future work on the Flora Malesiana project was the subject of a successful symposium held in August 1989. This book contains only a selection of the papers presented at that meet ing, yet it covers a much greater diversity of themes than just the inventory of botanical diversity. It even goes beyond the boundaries of the vast Flora Malesi ana region in several of its chapters. The role of the founder of the Flora Malesiana Project, Professor C.G.G.J. van Steenis, repeatedly recurs in several chapters; not only as director of and contributor to the project, but also as a pioneer in the fields of Malesian vege tation, conservation and biogeography, and as an enlightened systematist whose ideas and practical recommendations for taxonomic delimitation still largely apply. Botanical information made available in regional and local floras is of vital im portance for applications such as the exploitation of natural forests on a sus tainable yield basis. for establishing gene banks for the benefit of agriculture. forestry and horticulture. and not in the least for nature conservation. Several chapters are devoted to these themes. Floristic studies are also at the basis of the biogeographical essays and vegetation studies included in this book.
Download or read book The Eggplant Genome written by Mark A. Chapman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-30 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book discusses the importance of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) as a crop, highlighting the potential for eggplant to serve as a model for understanding several evolutionary and taxonomic questions. It also explores the genomic make-up, in particular in comparison to other Solanaceous crops, and examines the parallels between eggplant and tomato domestication as well as between the most common eggplant species and two related eggplants native to Africa (Ethiopian eggplant [Solanum aethiopicum L.] and African eggplant [Solanum macrocarpon L.]). The eggplant genome was first sequenced in 2014, and an improved version was due to be released in 2017. Further investigations have revealed the relationships between wild species, domesticated eggplant, and feral weedy eggplant (derived from the domesticate), as well as targets of selection during domestication. Parallels between eggplant and tomato domestication loci are well known and the molecular basis is currently being investigated. Eggplant is a source of nutrition for millions of people worldwide, especially in Southeast Asia where it is a staple food source. Domesticated in the old world, in contrast to its congeners tomato and potato, the eggplant is morphologically and nutritionally diverse. The spread of wild eggplants from Africa is particularly interesting from a cultural point of view. This book brings together diverse fields of research, from bioinformatics to taxonomy to nutrition to allow readers to fully understand eggplant’s importance and potential.

This book was released on 2013-05-10 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a monograph of the 47 species of the Dulcamaroid clade of the large and diverse genus Solanum. Species in the group occur in North, Central and South America, and in Europe and Asia. The group is most species-rich in Peru and Brazil, and three of the component species, Solanum laxum of Brazil, Solanum seaforthianum of the Caribbean and and Solanum crispum of Chile are cultivated in many parts of the world. All species are illustrated and a distribution map of each is provided. All names are typified and nomenclatural and bibliographic details for all typifications presented. One new species from Ecuador is described. The monograph is the first complete taxonomic treatment of these species since the worldwide monograph of Solanum done by the French botanist Michel-Felix Dunal in 1852.

Download or read book Systematics and Taxonomy of Solanum Sections Dunaliana and Irenosolanum Solanaceae written by Donald Henry Roland McClelland and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The monophyly and phylogenetic relationships of the Solanum dunalianum group have been the subject of controversy. The S. dunalianum group was investigated using fifty-eight morphological characters and DNA sequence data: molecular markers ITS, trnT-trnF, and waxy. The individual datasets, combined molecular dataset, and total evidence dataset were analyzed under the parsimony criterion. In all analyses, the S. dunalianum group was resolved as not monophyletic, necessitating taxonomic realignment. In the total evidence strict consensus, all species of the Solanum dunalianum group, except S. tetrandrum, fell into either of two clades, compatible with the previously proposed Solanum sections Dunaliana and Irenosolanum. Solanum tetrandrum was resolved with S. melongena indicating an affinity with species from tropical Asia. Solanum section Dunaliana was sister to New Guinean species of the S. ferocissimum group. Solanum section Irenosolanum was sister to a clade of Australian and New Guinean species of various groups. No unique synapomorphies support either section, but morphological trends exist. Taxonomic treatments for each section are presented. Both include a key to species, distribution maps, and images of type specimens. Solanum section Dunaliana, centered on New Guinea, is restricted to a morphologically coherent clade of six species including S. labyrinthinum named herein. It is characterized by a large shrub or small tree habit, sparse, broad-based prickles, entire leaves with the blade unarmed, many-flowered inflorescence with all flowers fertile, corollas with poorly developed interpetalar tissue, and juicy, red fruit. A neotype is designated for S. peekelii; lectotypes are designated for S. dunalianum var. inerme and S. torricellense. Solanum section Irenosolanum is comprised of twenty-nine species, the following seven of which are named as new herein: Solanum albertii, S. memaoyanum, S. nudatum, S. pseudopedunculatum, S. ratale, S. semisucculentum, and S. vanuatuense. Solanum section Irenosolanum is morphologically diverse; tendencies include: paucity or absence of prickles, spreading (non-connivent) anthers, white corollas, and horizontal presentation of flowers. The section is restricted to the islands of the Pacific; all native species of Solanum subgenus Leptostemonum from the Pacific belong to section Irenosolanum except S. lasiocarpum and S. repandum of section Lasiocarpa. Thirty taxa including Solanum section Irenosolanum are typified.
