Domestication of plants in the Old World: the origin and spread of domesticated plants in south-west Asia, Europe, and the Mediterranean Basin / Daniel Zohary (2013)  

Public ISBD Titre : Domestication of plants in the Old World: the origin and spread of domesticated plants in south-west Asia, Europe, and the Mediterranean Basin Type de document : livre Auteurs : Daniel Zohary, Auteur ; Maria Hopf, Auteur ; Ehud Weiss, Auteur Mention d'édition : 4th ed. Editeur : Oxford, UK : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 2013 Importance : 243 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-954906-1 Note générale : Cop. 2012, Reprinted 2013; DOI:10.1093/acprof:osobl/9780199549061.001.0001; Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Plant domestication  Crops  History  Asia  Europe  Mediterranean region Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : The origin of agriculture is one of the defining events of human history. Some 11,000-10,000 years ago bands of hunter-gatherers started to abandon their high-mobility lifestyles in favour of growing crops, and the creation of settled, sedentary communities. This shift into an agricultural lifestyle triggered the evolution of complex political and economic structures, and technological developments, and ultimately underpinned the rise of all the great civilisations of recent human history. This book reviews and synthesises the information on the origins and domestication of cultivated plants in the Old World, and subsequently the spread of cultivation from southwest Asia into Asia, Europe, and North Africa, from the very earliest beginnings. This book is mainly based on detailed consideration of two lines of evidence: the plant remains found at archaeological sites, and the knowledge that has accumulated about the present-day wild relatives of domesticated plants. This new edition revises and updates previous data and incorporates the most recent findings from molecular biology about the genetic relations between domesticated plants and their wild ancestors, and incorporates extensive new archaeological data about the spread of agriculture within the region. The reference list has been completely updated, as have the list of archaeological sites and the site maps.

Biodiversity in agriculture: domestication, evolution, and sustainability / Paul Gepts (2012)  

Public ISBD Titre : Biodiversity in agriculture: domestication, evolution, and sustainability Type de document : livre Auteurs : Paul Gepts, Éditeur scientifique ; Thomas R. Famula, Éditeur scientifique ; Robert L. Bettinger, Éditeur scientifique ; Brush, S.B., Éditeur scientifique ; DAMANIA, A.B., Éditeur scientifique ; Patrick E. McGuire, Éditeur scientifique ; Calvin O. Qualset, Éditeur scientifique Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : New York : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2012 Importance : 606 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-17087-1 Prix : 51.00 GBP Note générale : Presentations of the 2nd Harlan Symposium, 14-18 September 2008, University of California, Davis Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Agriculture  Biodiversity  Plant domestication  Animal domestication  Biology  Ecology  Social sciences  Agricultural economics Résumé : The introduction of plant and animal agriculture represents one of the most important milestones in human evolution. It contributed to the development of cities, alphabets, new technologies, and ultimately to civilizations, but it has also presented a threat to both human health and the environment. Bringing together research from a range of fields including anthropology, archaeology, ecology, economics, entomology, ethnobiology, genetics and geography, this book addresses key questions relating to agriculture. Why did agriculture develop and where did it originate? What are the patterns of domestication for plants and animals? How did agroecosystems originate and spread from their locations of origin? Exploring the cultural aspects of the development of agricultural ecosystems, the book also highlights how these topics can be applied to our understanding of contemporary agriculture, its long-term sustainability, the co-existence of agriculture and the environment, and the development of new crops and varieties.
