Great American Short Stories
Like many of America's greatest cultural exports, the modern short story grew out of necessity rather than a luxury. At the turn of the 19th Century, the United States was a burgeoning country with pathfinders and adventure-seekers pushing their way into the west in search of new opportunities. With so much of the American population constantly on the move from one town to the next, the serialized novel was not a viable form of literature as it was across Europe. The new literary form soon grew popular, and more and more writers started writing in this wonderfully entertaining form. This collection comprises the best and the most popular short stories from the land.

Instant Insights: Soil Contaminants
This collection features four peer-reviewed reviews on major contaminants in agricultural soils. The first chapter discusses emerging technologies for remediating soil polluted with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and their contamination routes. The chapter also addresses techniques for their identification and tracking, persistence and bioaccumulation in the soil and risks to and effects on human health and soil health.

The chapter also details the different approaches to disease management, including selection and breeding for resistance and biological control. The third chapter considers the interacting effects of climate change on native and invasive insect pests in boreal and temperate forests. The chapter discusses recent advances in predicting forest insect responses to climate change, as well as best practices for their monitoring and management. The final chapter provides a brief overview of Dutch elm disease, citing its emergence, modes of transmission and methods of control. A case study on the development of the Verticillium albo-atrum WCS850 strain to control the disease is then discussed in detail.

Instant Insights: Understanding and Managing Diseases Affecting Sheep
This collection features four peer-reviewed reviews on understanding and managing major diseases affecting sheep. The first chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the main classical and emerging diseases which pose a threat to global sheep production, including diseases of the reproductive, nervous, respiratory and alimentary systems, as well as diseases of the skin and feet. The second chapter reviews the challenge posed by gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infections in sheep and discusses the growing problem of anthelmintic resistance to anthelmintic drugs conventionally used for GIN control. The chapter also considers the use of alternative approaches and complementary interventions, such as selective breeding, grazing management and nutritional supplementation. The third chapter addresses key issues in the design and implementation of disease surveillance systems in sheep populations. The chapter also reviews different types of surveillance and flock health objectives, data sources, testing and sampling techniques. The final chapter describes common diseases of sheep and some commonly used vaccines and explains why the identification of immunological correlates underpins vaccine design. A case study on ovine enzootic abortion is used as a model to discuss current barriers to progress and future opportunities for applications of immunology to improve sheep production.

All the World's a Page
Across continents, cultures, and poetic traditions, fifty-seven authors come together to breathe new life into one of literature's most enduring forms: the Shakespearean sonnet. All the World's a Page gathers a sweeping range of voices, from emerging writers to seasoned poets, from storytellers rooted in classical tradition to those experimenting at the edges of lyric form. Inspired by Shakespeare yet unbound by imitation, these sonnets explore love, loss, identity, wonder, memory, grief, humor, and the countless contradictions of being human. Readers will travel from intimate interiors of the mind to wide landscapes, from mythic echoes to modern anxieties, from tender devotion to sharp political and social awareness. The collection honors the variety of rhythms, spellings, and stylistic nuances preserved in each poet's original voice, reflecting a global chorus rather than a single tradition. Whether steeped in the classic music of iambic pentameter or infused with contemporary inflections, each sonnet stands as a testament to the form's enduring power to hold complexity within its fourteen-line frame. A celebration of craft, diversity, and imagination, All the World's a Page invites readers into a vibrant, multifaceted dialogue with the past, one where Shakespeare's legacy becomes a living landscape shaped anew by the hands of poets around the world.

Instant Insights: Rewilding in Agriculture
This book features three peer-reviewed reviews on rewilding in agriculture. The first chapter highlights the diversity of best practices used to rewild grasslands and rangelands, including those used to restore biological soil crusts, apply prescribed fire, increase stand establishment and persistence, overcome soil limitations, rectify nutrient pollution, and sequester soil carbon. The chapter also provides a case study on the restoration of sagebrush-steppe rangelands in the state of Utah, USA. The second chapter provides an overview of the trade-offs related to animal rewilding in agroecosystems (e.g. ecosystem services versus disservices). The chapter also discusses three key management trends the authors foresee will facilitate net positive outcomes in animal rewilding: capturing wild provisioning services, coordinating broad spatial heterogeneity in land use and employing coexistence conservation tactics. The final chapter outlines the benefits and challenges of rewilding in Australia and New Zealand and references four case studies to study this. The first two describe rewildings on formerly degraded agricultural land (Tiritiri Matangi Island, Scotia Sanctuary), while the third posits a conceptual rewilding program using a continental top predator, the dingo. The fourth case study describes a digitally-enabled survey and monitoring system on a mixed-agriculture farm that provides a step towards rewilding such landscapes in future.

It also considers the design and management of field margins and their economic impacts. The second chapter explores the impact and management of hedgerows in promoting biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. It also discusses the range of ecological processes and biodiversity in hedgerows, from hedge structure and woody species to ground flora and nutrient cycling. The third chapter considers the development of a cell-based spatial modelling approach to better understand the interactions between planned biodiversity and associated biodiversity within alley cropping systems. The chapter also assesses the implications for different management strategies to optimise associated biodiversity. The final chapter outlines the principles, benefits, and practical management strategies of multispecies swards. The chapter also highlights their importance in creating sustainable and resilient agricultural systems that meet both agronomic and environmental goals.

Instant Insights: Silvopastoral Systems
This book features three peer-reviewed reviews on silvopastoral systems. The first chapter begins with providing a detailed definition of silvopasture, before moving onto reviewing the different types of silvopastoral systems, from parklands and hedgerows to riparian buffers and shelterbelts. The chapter considers the role of silvopasture in delivering key ecosystem services such as improvements to soil health and water and air quality. A section on the factors governing uptake of silvopasture is also included. The second chapter discusses the integration of livestock (or forage) production with tree crops, particularly fruit trees and vines. After reviewing the current extent of fruit tree-based agroforestry systems, the chapter highlights the opportunities this integration offers in increasing overall land productivity, whilst minimising competition between forage and food production. The chapter concludes by discussing the many challenges this integration entails and how these challenges can be effectively addressed. The final chapter provides a brief overview of silvopastoral systems from around the world and highlights the importance of trees for livestock production. The chapter also considers best practices for designing and managing silvopastures to deliver key ecosystem services, focussing on their valued contribution to carbon sequestration and biodiversity conservation.
