Hardcover. Condition: New. This book has been developed to help farmers understand their legal responsibilities, as well as provide practical solutions to health and safety issues to help prevent serious or fatal injury on their properties. In South Australia, the Work Health and Safety Act 2012 (SA) or 'the Act' protects all workers, including employees, contractors, subcontractors, outworkers, apprentices and trainees, work experience students, volunteers and employers who perform work. For most of you, your farm is both your workplace and your home, and sometimes the lines can blur. Your farm is a workplace when your neighbour volunteers at your farm, or you call in a casual contractor, or the local stock agent drops in you are responsible for their health and safety while they are on your property.

Hardcover. Condition: New. The Disaster Risk Management (DRM) Systems Analysis Guide provides a set of tools and methods to assess existing structures and capacities of national, district and local institutions with responsibilities for Disaster Risk Management (DRM) in order to improve their effectiveness and the integration of DRM concerns into development planning, with particular reference to disaster-prone areas, vulnerable sectors and population groups. The strategic use of the Guide is expected to enhance understanding of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats facing existing DRM institutional structures and their implications for on-going institutional change processes. It will also highlight the complex institutional linkages among various actors and sectors at different levels. Finally, it will help identify gaps within the existing DRM institutions and/or systems including sectoral line agencies that are often responsible for implementing the technical aspects of DRM (e.g. agriculture, water and health sectors).

Hardcover. Condition: New. This book describes the main types of manually-operated or manually-carried pesticide application equipment. Most of the small-scale farmers in developing countries, who have used pesticides, rely on a lever-operated knapsack sprayer. These sprayers are now manufactured in many of the developing countries, that are introducing modern designs. The details of the design and the types of nozzle needed to treat crops and improve safety for the user are described. Changes in manufacturing techniques are resulting in certain plastics being used instead of brass. The less expensive compression sprayers are also described as these may become more important on the smallest farms. Details of the range of nozzles that can be used with hydraulic sprayers are given so the user can make a better selection of nozzles to apply pesticides more efficiently. Equipment used to apply reduced volumes such as the spinning disc applicators is important, especially in areas where water supplies are difficult to obtain. Fog, granules, dust, and other special applicators are also described. Specifications for the main types of applicators are given to assist those who have to purchase the equipment. The remaining sections provide guidance on the safe application of pesticides and maintenance of the equipment. A glossary of terms is included.

Hardcover. Condition: New. This book assesses and identifies solutions with special relevance for smallholder farmers: DRR good practices that work at farm-level and which, with small investments, can have significant positive impact on the resilience of their livelihoods. It evaluates the cost-effectiveness and socio-ecological suitability of different specific DRR interventions, with the intention of providing decision-makers and farmers both with reliable assessments that can guide their decisions around DRR investment. For smallholder farmers and development actors alike, the study findings can help prioritize options among a multitude of available DRR interventions, taking into account local contexts and specific needs. For policy‑makers, this study is particularly valuable, as it offers cost benefit figures for individual good practices as well as for combined interventions that are based on actually-observed impacts. The report also estimates the costs and benefits of upscaling selected good practices, thus providing insights to decision-makers on the relevance of establishing enabling conditions for replication beyond study sites.

Students should come to Comparative Anatomy prepared by one or more substantial courses in Zoology, and should be in their upper college years. They can then use the course effectively to equip them for medical school, for advanced study in zoology, or for teaching. Yet Comparative Anatomy is much more than a professional training course. Its understanding of man's origin and relationships; it is at the heart of our knowledge of evolution. By acquainting us with the changing structure of a great host of animals, the study of Comparative Anatomy gives a framework in which we can properly place our ideas of function and of embryonic development.
