Biodiversity Genetic Resources and Intellectual Property Developments in Access and Benefit Sharing

Biodiversity Genetic Resources and Intellectual Property Developments in Access and Benefit Sharing

Debates about Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) have moved on in recent years. An initial focus on the legal obligations established by international agreements like the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity and the form of obligations for collecting physical biological materials have now moved to a far more complex series of disputes and challenges about the ways ABS should be implemented and enforced: repatriation of resources technology transfer traditional knowledge and cultural expressions; open access to information and knowledge naming conventions farmers’ rights new schemes for accessing pandemic viruses and sharing DNA sequences and so on. Unfortunately most of this debate is now crystallised into apparently intractable discussions such as implementing the certificates of origin recognising traditional knowledge and traditional cultural expression as a form of intellectual property and sovereignty for Indigenous peoples. Not everything in this new marketplace of ABS has been created de novo. Like most new entrants ABS has disrupted existing legal and governance arrangements. This collection of chapters examines what is new what has been changed and what might be changed in response to the growing acceptance and prevalence of ABS of genetic resources. Biodiversity Genetic Resources and Intellectual Property: Developments in Access and Benefit Sharing of Genetic Resources addresses current issues arising from recent developments in the enduring and topical debates about managing genetic resources through the ABS regime. The book explores key historical doctrinal and theoretical issues in the field at the same time developing new ideas and perspectives around ABS. It shows the latest state of knowledge and will be of interest to researchers academics policymakers and students in the fields of intellectual property governance biodiversity and conservation sustainable development and agriculture. | Biodiversity Genetic Resources and Intellectual Property Developments in Access and Benefit Sharing

Genetic Seeds of Warfare Evolution Nationalism and Patriotism

Genetic Seeds of Warfare Evolution Nationalism and Patriotism

For millennia humanity has simultaneously deplored and waged war. With each conflict the stakes have risen and we now face global annihilation for the sake of a practice all the world claims to condemn. Is there some seemingly irresistible force that impels us toward our own destruction? To explain this central paradox of human behaviour Genetic Seeds of Warfare originally published in 1989 advances a startling new theory. It traces the origins of warfare back to early groups of Homo sapiens in competition for scarce resources showing that warfare evolved as these groups evolved: kin-group against kin-group; tribe against tribe; nation against nation. Rather than being tied to a specific gene warfare emerged as one of many behavioural strategies for maximising genetic survival. As social groups became more complex motivations for warfare developed from simple protection of blood relations to political appeals to shared ethnicity religion and national identity. But the ultimate cause of warfare is rooted in the most basic of human drives: the need to ensure that one’s genes will survive and reproduce. The authors challenge many assumptions about human behaviour in general and warfare in particular. They convincingly present the case for an evolutionary understanding of the propensity for warfare supporting their argument with data from a vast array of social and natural science research. In doing so they reveal why previous attempts at ending war have failed and make proactive suggestions toward the development of a new agenda for world peace. | Genetic Seeds of Warfare Evolution Nationalism and Patriotism

Assessment and Testing An Introduction

Assessment and Testing An Introduction

Originally published in 1972 there were many ‘classics’ dealing with assessment and testing on the market at the time but most of these left the inexperienced reader bewildered in the early stages because of their size and insufficient explanation of the many technical terms used. There were a distinct lack of books which gave students in Colleges of Education dealing with psychology for the first time a simple explanation of basic terms in assessment and testing and which introduced them briefly to the different types of tests available. Assessment and Testing aimed to fill this large gap. It looks at such key psychological terms as ‘sample’ ‘objectivity’ ‘subjectivity’ and such basic statistical terms such as ‘mean’ ‘standard deviation’ and ‘normal curve of distribution’. Because it assumes that the reader has no knowledge of such terms it gives careful and simply illustrated explanations of each. In the same way in simple language with any technical terms explained and illustrated it explains intelligence and personality tests questionnaires sociometric measures projection techniques and other areas of assessment and testing which every practising teacher will meet. The book aims to be essentially practical. It is appreciated all the time that the readers are those who will teach children. It is designed to provide a solid foundation upon which the reader can build later to augment his own experience of identifying children’s particular needs. | Assessment and Testing An Introduction

Unequal By Design High-Stakes Testing and the Standardization of Inequality

Unequal By Design High-Stakes Testing and the Standardization of Inequality

This new edition of Unequal By Design: High-Stakes Testing and the Standardization of Inequality critically examines the deep and enduring problems within systems of education in the U. S. in order to illuminate what is really at stake for students teachers and communities negatively affected by such testing. Updates to the new edition include new chapters that focus on: the role of schools and standardized testing in reproducing social cultural and economic inequalities; the way high-stakes testing is used to advance neoliberal market-based educational schemes that ultimately concentrate wealth and power among elites; how standardized testing became the dominant tool within our educational systems; the numerous technical and ideological problems with using standardized tests to evaluate students teachers and schools; the role that high-stakes testing plays in the maintenance of white supremacy; and how school communities have resisted high-stakes testing and used better assessments of student learning. Parents teachers university students and scholars will find Unequal By Design useful for gaining a broad critical understanding of the issues surrounding our over-reliance on high-stakes standardized testing in the U. S. through up-to-date research on testing historical and contemporary examples of the struggles over such tests and information about how testing has fostered the privatization of public education in the U. S. | Unequal By Design High-Stakes Testing and the Standardization of Inequality
