Room at the Top John Braine Юпитер-Интер. Popular Classics. Юпитер-Интер. Popular Classics.

Elusive Rothschild: The Life of Victor, Third Baron

Kenneth Rose


Elusive Rothschild: The Life of Victor, Third Baron Kenneth Rose Book DescriptionThe accomplishments and diversity of the interests of Victor, third Baron Rothschild were remarkable. A zoologist by choice and training, he also formed the finest collection of eighteenth century English books in private hands. In the Second World War he was head of counter-sabotage in MI5, also being responsible for ensuring that presents of food, drink and cigars to Winston Churchill contained no poison or bombs. He coordinated research for Shell, was the first director of Edward Heath's creation, known as the 'Think Tank'. He chaired the family business, N. M. Rothschild and Sons, and presided over the Royal Commission on Gambling. Then came the Blunt scandal. Ultimately declared innocent by Margaret Thatcher of having spied for Soviet Russia, Rothschild escaped prosecution for having breached the Official Secrets Act only after the humiliation of interrogation by Scotland Yard's Serious Crimes Squad. Yet he was the victim of what Kenneth Rose, his biographer, sees... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Book DescriptionThe accomplishments and diversity of the interests of Victor, third Baron Rothschild were remarkable.

Many billions of dollars in humanitarian assistance, emergency loans, and development aid are expended annually. Yet efforts to reduce the risks of natural hazards remain largely uncoordinated across different hazard types and do not necessarily focus on areas at highest risk of disaster. Natural Disaster Hotspots presents a global view of major natural disaster risk hotspots ?V areas at relatively high risk of loss from one or more natural hazards. It summarizes the results of an interdisciplinary analysis of the location and characteristics of hotspots for six natural hazards ?V earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, floods, drought, and cyclones.

Efficient Conservation of Crop Genetic Diversity : Theoretical Approaches and Empirical Studies

Patricia K. Kummer


Efficient Conservation of Crop Genetic Diversity : Theoretical Approaches and Empirical Studies Patricia K. Kummer Book DescriptionThe book deals with the economics of conservation of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture in low income countries. This is done by developing concepts and discussing case studies. Only discussing the issues of access to and benefit sharing of plant genetic resources, unfortunately public discussion has neglected the serious problem of financing the conservation efforts because to date the issues of access to and benefit sharing of plant genetic resources have merely been discussed. The global situation of the conserved genetic resources is alarming, mainly due to the fact that the institutes, above all those in developing countries, do not have enough financial resources. Hence, it is imperative that the costs are taken into consideration. The contributions are grouped around theoretical approaches and empirical studies. The estimation of conservation costs help to allocate the appropriate financial assistance to the relevant countries for conserving... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Book DescriptionThe book deals with the economics of conservation of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture in low income countries.
