Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tropical Beef Cattle Industry in the Western Hemisphere This bibliography consists of selected references, chiefly in the Eng lish, Spanish and Portuguese languages, to the literature on the beef cattle industry in the Tropics and the humid sub -tropical regions of the Western Hemisphere. Countries included are Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, the Guianas, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, British Honduras, Panama, Mexico, Cuba, and the West In dies. Florida, and the coastal portions of Alabama, Georgia, Louisi ana, Mississippi, and Texas have been included as has Hawaii, which, although it is in the Eastern Hemisphere, is an American dependency. Paraguay and Bolivia have been omitted because due to elevation and situation the climatic conditions are quite different from those in the humid Tropics. The literature here listed appeared for the most part between 1940 and 1950. Although a few references from 1951 have been included, no attempt has been made to cover that year systematically.

Download or read book The Beef Cattle Industries of Central America and Panama Classic Reprint written by Quevedo Martin Morgan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beef Cattle Industries of Central America and Panama The central American countries and Panama have enjoyed a rapid rate of economic growth during the past 10 years. Although in percentage terms industry has probably shown the greater increase, most of the growth in gross national product has been derived from expanded production of agricultural commodities. Nonetheless, the economies of these countries still suffer from the weakness of over dependence on one or two export products. They are particularly vulnerable when one considers that in almost every instance their leading dollar exchange earners (coffee and cotton in Guatemala and Nicaragua, coffee and bananas in Costa Rica and Honduras, and bananas in Panama) are products subject to surplus accumulation and severe price fluctuations in world markets. Aware of their vulnerable position, the governments and private sectors of these countries, assisted by technical missions from international organizations and the us. Agency for International Development (aid), among others, have for the past several years sought to bolster their economies by encouraging increased self-sufficiency in food production and the development of new export lines to provide the foreign exchange necessary to pay for essential imports. Much of their attention has been centered on the livestock industry, which has played a traditional, though relatively minor, role in Central America and Panama since the colonial period. The objective of this report is to examine the factors associated with the rising trend in beef produc tion in recent years and assess future prospects. Hopefully, answers or reasoned judgments can be made in response to some of the perplexing questions concerning the beef cattle industry in Central America and Panama. Has the gain in productivity in the industry been as rapid as the expansion in slaughter operations; or, has the increase in numbers of cattle slaughterings been achieved partly in response to the construction of excess slaughter capacity at the expense of future production? What has been-the effect of the campaign to expand beef exports on the availability of supplies for the domestic market? What are the prospects for production, domestic consumption, and exports over the next 7 years? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Sheep and Goats in Developing Countries written by Winrock International Livestock Research and Training Center and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives of this study are to assess the role of small ruminants (sheep and goats) in the food production systems of developing countries, examine their advantages and disadvantages, analyze the constraints limiting their further contribution to the welfare of small farm/low income rural producers, prescribe measures for overcoming these constraints, and make recommendations related to potential donor involvement in support of the development of sheep and goat production. Small ruminants are viewed as an integral, but not dominant component of complex agricultural systems. Particular emphasis is placed on sheep and goats in mixed herds grazing dry rangelands and in small mixed farm systems in medium to high rainfall areas. An analysis of major constraints -- ecological, biological, policy, and socio-economic -- leads to recommendations on the need for a balanced production system approach for research, training and development programs, and for a combination of support activities such as herd health programs, and formulation of favorable credit, marketing and pricing policies for small ruminants and their products.
Download or read book The Canadian Encyclopedia written by James H. Marsh and published by The Canadian Encyclopedia. This book was released on 1999 with total page 2652 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of "The Canadian Encyclopedia is the largest, most comprehensive book ever published in Canada for the general reader. It is COMPLETE: every aspect of Canada, from its rock formations to its rock bands, is represented here. It is UNABRIDGED: all of the information in the four red volumes of the famous 1988 edition is contained here in this single volume. It has been EXPANDED: since 1988 teams of researchers have been diligently fleshing out old entries and recording new ones; as a result, the text from 1988 has grown by 50% to over 4,000,000 words. It has been UPDATED: the researchers and contributors worked hard to make the information as current as possible. Other words apply to this extraordinary work of scholarship: AUTHORITATIVE, RELIABLE and READABLE. Every entry is compiled by an expert. Equally important, every entry is written for a Canadian reader, from the Canadian point of view. The finished work - many years in the making, and the equivalent of forty average-sized books - is an extraordinary storehouse of information about our country. This book deserves pride of place on the bookshelf in every Canadian Home. It is no accident that the cover of this book is based on the Canadian flag. For the proud truth is that this volume represents a great national achievement. From its formal inception in 1979, this encyclopedia has always represented a vote of faith in Canada; in Canada as a separate place whose natural worlds and whose peoples and their achievements deserve to be recorded and celebrated. At the start of a new century and a new millennium, in an increasingly borderless corporate world that seems ever more hostile to nationaldistinctions and aspirations, this "Canadian Encyclopedia is offered in a spirit of defiance and of faith in our future. The statistics behind this volume are staggering. The opening sixty pages list the 250 Consultants, the roughly 4,000 Contributors (all experts in the field they describe) and the scores of researchers, editors, typesetters, proofreaders and others who contributed their skills to this massive project. The 2,640 pages incorporate over 10,000 articles and over 4,000,000 words, making it the largest - some might say the greatest - Canadian book ever published. There are, of course, many special features. These include a map of Canada, a special page comparing the key statistics of the 23 major Canadian cities, maps of our cities, a variety of tables and photographs, and finely detailed illustrations of our wildlife, not to mention the colourful, informative endpapers. But above all the book is "encyclopedic" - which the "Canadian Oxford Dictionary describes as "embracing all branches of learning." This means that (with rare exceptions) there is satisfaction for the reader who seeks information on any Canadian subject. From the first entry "A mari usque ad mare - "from sea to sea" (which is Canada's motto, and a good description of this volume's range) to the "Zouaves (who mustered in Quebec to fight for the beleaguered Papacy) there is the required summary of information, clearly and accurately presented. For the browser the constant variety of entries and the lure of regular cross-references will provide hours of fasination. The word "encyclopedia" derives from Greek expressions alluding to a grand "circle of knowledge." Our knowledge has expandedimmeasurably since the time that one mnd could encompass all that was known.Yet now Canada's finest scientists, academics and specialists have distilled their knowledge of our country between the covers of one volume. The result is a book for every Canadian who values learning, and values Canada.

Download or read book The Black Jacobins written by C.L.R. James and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2023-08-22 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful and impassioned historical account of the largest successful revolt by enslaved people in history: the Haitian Revolution of 1791–1803 “One of the seminal texts about the history of slavery and abolition.... Provocative and empowering.” —The New York Times Book Review The Black Jacobins, by Trinidadian historian C. L. R. James, was the first major analysis of the uprising that began in the wake of the storming of the Bastille in France and became the model for liberation movements from Africa to Cuba. It is the story of the French colony of San Domingo, a place where the brutality of plantation owners toward enslaved people was horrifyingly severe. And it is the story of a charismatic and barely literate enslaved person named Toussaint L’Ouverture, who successfully led the Black people of San Domingo against successive invasions by overwhelming French, Spanish, and English forces—and in the process helped form the first independent post-colonial nation in the Caribbean. With a new introduction (2023) by Professor David Scott.
