Flore Illustrée des Champignons d'Afrique Centrale.
A continuation of "Flore Iconographique des Champignons du Congo" [Fasc. 1(1935)-17(1972)]. 1972-1997. 17 volumes. 32 x 24cm. Each with text signature and coloured plates. Paperback. Fully colour-illustrated flora of the mushrooms of Central Africa. Probably the only mushroom flora of this scope for any tropical region of the world, especially owing to the high quality coloured illustrations (watercolour drawings, slides) of nearly all the species treated. The number of species depicted, including numerous species new to science, makes this flora a basic document for mycologists and monographers dealing with tropical fungi. Only macroscopical descriptions are included. Although this flora is published in French, from fasc. 10(1983) onwards, the keys are translated into English and the illustrations coded, so as to make easy usage of the flora in English-speaking countries. No image for this title.

Nutrition Education in Primary Schools. A planning guide for curriculum development
92-5-105454-1
2005, 2 spiralbound volumes in a bookcase with a set of worksheets and a classroom curriculum chart. Vol. 1: The Reader, 250 pp.; Vol. 2: The Activities, 276 pp. Healthy, well-nourished and educated people are a country's most precious asset for achieving economic and social development. Access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food is essential for reaching this goal. However, this by itself is not enough. People also need to understand what constitutes an appropriate diet for health, and they need to have the skills and the motivation to make proper food choices and practice healthy eating habits. Helping people to do so is the role of nutrition education. Many eating habits are formed during childhood and they can last a lifetime. It is therefore important for children to learn the benefits of good nutrition and to develop healthy eating habits. Schools are an excellent setting for bringing nutrition education to children at an early stage and through qualified staff. This Planning Guide will assist educators worldwide in establishing an effective nutrition education programme that encourages behaviour change. The material can be used at national or local level and is intended for use by a team of educators and health staff, including education inspectors, curriculum planners, teacher educators, teachers, nutritionists and health workers.

The Status and Distribution of European Mammals
2007. 28cm. Paperback. Numerous scientific studies show that biodiversity in Europe has been declining rapidly for some time and that this pattern has been matched by the great periods of expansion and intensification of land use. This first assessment of the Red List status of Europe’s and the European Union’s mammals shows us that 15% of our species are threatened with extinction, it shows that 27% were identified as declining and another 33% had an unknown population trend. It identifies those species that are threatened with extinction at the regional level - in order that appropriate conservation action can be taken to improve their status.

Pines of Silvicultural Importance
2002. 24cm. Pp.608. Hardback. The genus Pinus is of great ecological and commercial importance and it is notable for its vast geographic range and the sheer area that its various species occupy. Its natural range is almost exclusively in the northern hemisphere, where it often forms the dominant vegetation cover. However, it is also of silvicultural significance in many countries in the southern hemisphere. Pines play an important role in the ecosystems of which they form part, and provide a valuable source of fibre, timber and other secondary products for human use. Worldwide, pines form a large part of the annual wood harvest and the immature plantation forests of the future. This reflects their amenability to cultivation, their broad site tolerances, and the ease of processing their wood for a multitude of end-uses. For each species, there is information on common names, taxonomy, botanical features, natural distribution, latitude range, climate, soil properties, silvicultural characteristics, pests, wood and non-wood products.

Boma 1880-1920, Colonial Capital City or Cosmopolitan Trading Post ?
Book CD. 2006. Boma, situated along the River Congo close to the Atlantic Ocean, was an important centre of the slave trade until approximately 1868. French, British, Portuguese and Dutch trading companies maintained branches there. The first Belgian settler arrived only in 1874. The 1885 Berlin Conference put Boma under the authority of Leopold II, and between 1886 and 1929, Boma would function as a capital city, first of the Congo Free State, then from 1908, of the Belgian Congo. Boma grew from a simple trading post to a modest sized 'city'. However, it would never attain the stature of a monumental capital. The population of Boma was heterogeneous. Europeans of various nationalities lived next to inhabitants from very diverse regions of Central and West Africa. Nevertheless, this cosmopolitan society was distinguished by a clear hierarchy of whites over blacks. This cd-rom presents the Congolese city of Boma around 1900. Four themes (visit, capital, city, society and violence) allow access to almost 100 historical images, most of which are published here for the first time. Navigating these images, you can browse part of the history of the then capital of the Congo Free State.

Good Practices for the Meat Industry.
92-5-105146-1
FAO. 2004. 26cm. Pp.322. Hardbound ring-binder. In recent years, public concern about the safety of foods of animal origin has heightened due to problems that have arisen with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), as well as with outbreaks of food-borne bacterial infections, and food contamination with toxic agents (e.g. dioxin). These problems have serious implications for national food safety, the development of the animal products industry and for international trade in livestock products. Accordingly, the FAO/WHO Codex Alimentarius Commission is in the final stages of negotiation of a new Code of hygienic practice for meat. The Code implies a transition from meat inspection towards a risk-based approach covering the entire food chain. The Manual on good practices for the meat industry aims to assist the industry to prepare itself for compliance with the new regulatory framework, which is expected to come into force when the Code is approved in 2005. It is targeted at the meat industry in developing countries and in emerging economies in their endeavour to meet the rising quality and safety requirements both of the export industry and domestic markets, with the increased participation of large-scale retailers. The publication is intended to guide managers of abattoirs and the meat industry. It will also be of value to veterinarians engaged in meat inspection, with their supervisory roles in meat hygiene. The manual, well illustrated, is published in detachable modules and also serves as a training resource. The Codex Alimentarius "Draft code of hygienic practice for meat" is included as an appendix.

Cold Water Fisheries in the Trans-Himalayan Countries.
925104807X
FAO. 2002. 26cm. Pp.376. Softbound. The trans-Himalayan region encompasses a number of countries situated in the midland and highland areas of the Himalayas, Karakoram and, in a broad sense also, in Hindu Kush and Pamir. The mountains are characterized by a very low level of human development, with full exploitation or overexploitation of the natural resources. Fisheries play an important role in providing food and income to the mountain people. This volume contains contributions presented at a Symposium on Cold Water Fishes of the Trans-Himalayan Region, held in July 2001 in Nepal. The Symposium reviewed information, experiences, ideas and findings related to fish and fisheries in the region. Special attention was given to fish species distribution, fishing intensity, socio-economic conditions and livelihoods of fisher communities, as well as to the impacts of environment degradation, conservation measures and aquaculture technologies on indigenous and exotic cold water fish. The Symposium highlighted the role of fisheries in providing food and income to people within the trans-Himalayas and Karakoram. Recognizing the need to increase the role of aquatic resources in poverty alleviation, the Symposium urged national governments to give greater attention to fisheries development in mountain areas.

Papers Presented at the Expert Consultation on Interactions between Sea Turtles and Fisheries within an Ecosystem Context. Rome, 9-12 March 2004
2004. 26cm. Pp.244. Paperback. This meeting was attended by 11 experts from seven countries, covering expertise related to sea turtle biology and conservation, fishing gear technology, fisheries management and socio-economics. This document includes all the contributions prepared by the participating experts as background information to the Expert Consultation. The first four papers provide an overview of available information on biology, distribution and main sources of natural and man-induced sea turtle mortality for the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans and the Mediterranean Sea, respectively. Gear technology developments to reduce impacts on sea turtles are reviewed in papers 5 to 7. Special emphasis is given to the Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) and mitigation measures in pelagic longline fishing. Management experiences in reducing sea turtle bycatch in coastal fisheries, including implementation of technology standards and area/time closures, are covered by paper 8. Examples of conservation efforts aimed at preserving nesting beach habitats and at preventing direct take of sea turtles and their eggs are presented for two locations in Indonesia (paper 9). The examples show the importance of community empowerment in the implementation of conservation measures. Finally, paper 10 describes an important case study from the State of Orissa (India). Here olive ridley turtles congregate in large numbers in the shallow coastal waters that also happen to be the richest fishing grounds and the source of livelihoods for traditional fishing communities in that region. Experiences made in implementing various management measures to reduce sea turtle mortality due to fishing are presented, with particular emphasis on the consequences that these have had on traditional fishing communities.

Migratory Species and Climate Change, Impacts of a Changing Environment on Wild Animals
2007. 24cm. Pp.63. Paperback. Our climate is changing - the global mean surface temperature is rising, regional precipitation patterns are being altered, sea levels rise, floods, droughts and storms occur more often. Animals, ecosystems, economic systems and people are affected and nature conservation has to cope with new challenges, which add to other well-known pressures. There is substantial evidence that wildlife is being affected by Climate Change already, and as a group, migratory wildlife appears to be particularly vulnerable because it uses multiple habitats and sites and uses a wide range of resources at different points of its migratory cycle. The UNEP Convention on Migratory Species is the only global agreement specifically dealing with the needs of animals on the move. Climate change and its direct and indirect effects are becoming an ever more important aspect of the Convention's work. This brochure, containing contributions from experts around the world, explores the current state of knowledge and identifies ways forward that allow migratory species to continue fulfilling their unique role in the global web of life.

Volume 1. Introduction, Molluscs, Crustaceans, Hagfishes, Sharks, Batoid Fishes and Chimaeras. Volume 2. Bony Fishes, Part 1 (Acipenseridae to Grammatidae). Volume 3. Bony Fishes, Part 2 (Opistognathidae to Molidae), Sea Turtles and Marine Mammals. FAO. 2002. 3 volumes. 30cm. Pp.614; 782; 758. Paperback.This three volume field guide covers the species of interest to fisheries of the major marine resource groups exploited in the Western Central Atlantic. The area of coverage includes FAO Fishing Area 31. The marine resource groups included are the bivalves, gastropods, cephalopods, stomatopods, shrimps, lobsters, crabs, hagfishes, sharks, batoid fishes, chimaeras, bony fishes, sea turtles and marine mammals. The introductory chapter outlines the environmental, ecological and biogeographical factors influencing the marine biota, and the basic components of the fisheries in the Western Central Atlantic. Within the field guide, the sections on the resource groups are arranged phylogenetically according to higher taxonomic levels such as class, order and family. Each resource group is introduced by general remarks on the group, an illustrated section on technical terms and measurements and a key or guide to orders or families. Each family generally has an account summarizing family diagnostic characters, biological and fisheries information, notes on similar families occurring in the area, a key to species, a checklist of species and a short list of relevant literature. Families that are less important to fisheries include an abbreviated family account and no detailed species information. Species in the important families are treated in detail (arranged alphabetically by genus and species) and include the species name, frequent synonyms and names of similar species, an illustration, common name(s), diagnostic characters, biology and fisheries information, notes on geographical distribution and a distribution map. For less important species, abbreviated accounts are used. Generally, this includes the species name, common name(s), an illustration, a distribution map and notes on biology, fisheries and distribution. The final volume concludes with an index of scientific and common names.
