Herbert Read (1893–1968) acquired in his lifetime a considerable international reputation in all the major areas of his diverse activities: as poet, as educationalist, as anarchist, as philosopher (of aesthetics), as art critic, as historian of, and above all, as propagandist for modern art and design. The papers assembled in Herbert Read Reassessed offer a comprehensive and authoritative coverage of Read’s life work that is designed to stimulate debate. "An impressive volume... it manages to present a unified but not totalizing portrait of one of England’s most distinguished twentieth-century critics."—English Historical Review

This book highlights the recent progress on the applications of mutation breeding technology in crop plants. Plant breeders and agriculturists are faced with the new challenges of climate change, human population growth, and dwindling arable land and water resources which threaten to sustain food production worldwide. Genetic variation is the basis which plant breeders require to produce new and improved cultivars. The understanding of mutation induction and exploring its applications has paved the way for enhancing genetic variability for various plant and agronomic characters, and led to advances in gene discovery for various traits. Induced mutagenesis has played a significant role in crop improvement and currently, the technology has resulted in the development and release of more than 3600 mutant varieties in most of the crop plants with great economic impact. The field of ‘mutation breeding’ has come long way to become an important approach for crop improvement. This book covers various methodologies of mutation induction, screening of mutants, genome editing and genomics advances and mutant gene discovery. The book further discusses success stories in different countries and applications of mutation breeding in food crops, horticultural plants and plantation crops. This informative book is very useful to plant breeders, students and researchers in the field of agriculture, plant sciences, food science and genetics.

The year is 2041, and the world as we know it today has been changed. Many countries have been scarred by war, and the surviving superpowers banded together to form alliances. Genetic modifications are seen as humanity's hope for the future, and each alliance is struggling to stay ahead of the other by developing and testing newer genetic mutations. These mutations are said to do everything from curing cancer to the controversial cure of homosexuality. Tam Stevens wanted nothing to do with any of this. He wanted to live a normal life, where nothing is out of the ordinary and everything is as it should be. Unfortunately for Tam, his genetic code made him a prime candidate for a highly experimental genetic mutation program. It is at the genetic testing facility that Tam starts to unravel the dark secrets behind the genetic mutation programs, and it is here that Tam makes it his personal mission to uncover the truth. It is also at the facility that Tam meets Jaden, and their love for each other is the turning point in a story which will tear at your heartstrings as they both try to reconcile themselves to the inevitable.
