Flaws of Nature : The Limits and Liabilities of Natural Selection
Species evolve over time to become perfectly adapted to their environments, right?Well, sometimes. Consider that an elephant will not grow a seventh set of teeth, even though wearing down the sixth will condemn it to starvation; that hosts of the European cuckoo seem unable to tell that the overgrown monster in their nest is not their own chick; and that whales are fully aquatic mammals who, millions of years after first abandoning the land, still cannot breathe underwater. This book is about evolution, but not its greatest hits.Instead, it explores everything in the animal kingdom that is self-defeating, ill-made, uneconomical, or downright weird – and explains how natural selection has favoured it.In the grand struggle for survival, some surprising patterns emerge: animals are always slightly out-of-date; inefficiency tends to increase over time; predators usually lose, and parasites usually win.With equal parts humour and scientific insight, Andy Dobson is here to explain the how and why of evolution’s limits and liabilities.

Restoring Heritage Grains : The Culture, Biodiversity, Resilience, and Cuisine of Ancient Wheats
Including recipes for baking with EinkornWheat is the most widely grown crop on our planet, yet industrial breeders have transformed this ancient staff of life into a commodity of yield and profit—witness the increase in gluten intolerance and 'wheat belly’. Modern wheat depends on synthetic fertilizer and herbicides that damage our health, land, water, and environment.Fortunately, heritage ‘landrace' wheats that evolved over millennia in the organic fields of traditional farms do not need bio-chemical intervention to yield bountifully, are gluten-safe, have rich flavor and high nutrition.Yet the robust, majestic wheats that nourished our ancestors are on the verge of extinction. In Restoring Heritage Grains, author Eli Rogosa of the Heritage Grain Conservancy, invites readers to restore forgotten wheats such as delicious gluten-safe einkorn that nourished the first Neolithic farmers, emmer—the grain of ancient Israel, Egypt, and Rome that is perfect for pasta and flatbreads, rare durums that are drought-tolerant and high in protein, and many more little known wheat species, each of which have a lineage intertwined with the human species and that taste better than any modern wheat. Restoring Heritage Grains combines the history of grain growing and society, in-depth practical advice on landrace wheat husbandry, wheat folk traditions and mythology, and guidelines for the Neolithic diet with traditional recipes for rustic bread, pastry and beer.Discover the ancient grains that may be one of the best solutions to hunger today, and provide resilience for our future.

Are wages liabilities?
Yes, wages are considered liabilities for a company because they represent an obligation to pay employees for their work. From an accounting perspective, wages are typically recorded as a liability on the company's balance sheet until they are paid to the employees. This reflects the company's obligation to fulfill its financial commitments to its employees. Therefore, wages are classified as a liability until they are settled.
-
What are liabilities and receivables?
Liabilities are obligations or debts that a company owes to external parties, such as loans, accounts payable, or accrued expenses. They represent the company's financial responsibilities that must be settled in the future. Receivables, on the other hand, are amounts owed to a company by its customers or other parties for goods or services provided. They represent the company's right to receive payment and are considered assets on the company's balance sheet. Both liabilities and receivables are important components of a company's financial position and are crucial for assessing its overall financial health.
-
What are transitory assets and/or liabilities?
Transitory assets and/or liabilities are items on a company's balance sheet that are expected to be settled or used up within a relatively short period of time, typically within one year. These items are considered to be temporary in nature and are not expected to have a long-term impact on the company's financial position. Examples of transitory assets include cash, accounts receivable, and inventory, while examples of transitory liabilities include accounts payable and short-term debt. It is important for investors and analysts to understand the nature of these transitory items when evaluating a company's financial health and performance.
-
Why is equity on the liabilities side?
Equity is placed on the liabilities side of the balance sheet because it represents the claims of the company's owners or shareholders on the company's assets. It is considered a liability because the company has an obligation to its owners to repay their investment in the business. However, unlike other liabilities, equity does not have a fixed repayment schedule and is considered a residual claim, meaning it is only paid out after all other liabilities have been settled. Therefore, equity is categorized as a liability on the balance sheet to accurately reflect the financial obligations of the company.

Western Front: Landscape, Tourism and Heritage
The Western Front has become, once again, and after 100 years, an important and increasingly popular tourist destination.The Centenary is already encouraging large numbers of visitors to engage with this highly poignant landscape of war and to commemorate the sacrifice and loss of a previous generation.Interest is also being sharpened in the 'places of war' as battle-sites, trench-systems, bunkers and mine craters gain a clearer identity as war heritage.For the first time this book brings together the three strands of heritage, landscape and tourism to provide a fresh understanding of the multi-layered nature of the Western Front.The book approaches the area as a rich dynamic landscape which can be viewed in a startling variety of ways: historically, materially, culturally, and perceptually.To illustrate these two dominant interpretations of the region's landscape - commemorative and heritage - are highlighted and their relationship to tourism explored.Tourism is a lens through which these layers can be peeled away, and each understood and interacted with according to the individual's own knowledge, motivation, and degree of emotional engagement.Tourism is not regarded here as a passive phenomenon, but as an active agent that can determine, dictate and inscribe this evocative landscape. The Western Front: Heritage, Landscape and Tourism is a timely addition to our increasing interest in the First World War and the places where it was fought.It will be indispensable to those who seek a deeper understanding of the conflict from previously undervalued perspectives.

Sustainable Marketing of Transformative Heritage Tourism
This book proposes that sustainable marketing should be founded on a higher level of consciousness, governed by the Eastern ethical principles of dharma and karma.It suggests a socially responsible, integrated marketing strategy to boost transformational heritage tourism. The book puts forward a framework to promote and inspire transformative heritage tourism from a sustainable marketing perspective.Drawing on examples from different parts of the world such as Thailand, China, the USA, India, Australia, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Hong Kong, it takes a unique approach by integrating elements associated with distributive justice, procedural justice, morally motivated existentialist authentic experiences and the well-being of visited and visiting environments.The book pivots on the planning and marketing of heritage of communities such as local, descendent and indigenous across eight broad themes: (1) promotion and sustainable branding of heritage tourism; (2) empowerment of indigenous communities; (3) authenticity and conservation of heritage; (4) safeguarding of art, culture and cultural landscapes; (5) economic viability for the host communities; (6) interpretation and resolution of dissonant heritage representations; (7) stimulating audience engagement and co-created mindful spaces and; (8) facilitating moral consciousness and stimulating lasting inner transformation in guests and hosts.Scholars can replicate and/or test the proposed guided sustainable marketing model, referred to as the transformative heritage tourism pathway, which is adapted from a) the needs, activities and well-being sequential path of transformation and, b) the socially responsible sustainable marketing doctrine guided by the principles of 'dharma' and 'karma'.This book is unique as it stresses eudaimonia as the ultimate goal of well-being and argues that its pursuit can steer the sustained transformation route toward a higher sense of consciousness and responsible production and consumption of heritage resources. In summary, this book contributes toward advancing the dialogue on sustainable marketing and transformative heritage tourism.It will appeal to researchers, undergraduates and practitioners interested in sustainable marketing, transformative heritage tourism and social, ecological, cultural and economic welfare of visited and visiting destinations.

How are the assets and liabilities evaluated?
Assets and liabilities are evaluated based on their current market value or book value. For assets, this means determining their fair market value, which is the price that they could be sold for in the current market. Liabilities are evaluated based on their current outstanding balance or the amount that is owed. This evaluation helps to determine the financial health and position of a company, as well as its ability to meet its financial obligations.

What is the difference between receivables and liabilities?
Receivables are amounts owed to a company by its customers or other parties for goods or services provided, while liabilities are obligations or debts that a company owes to its creditors or other parties. In other words, receivables represent money that is owed to the company, while liabilities represent money that the company owes to others. Receivables are considered assets on the company's balance sheet, while liabilities are recorded as obligations or debts.
-
How can accounting, liabilities, and receivables be interconnected?
Accounting, liabilities, and receivables are interconnected in the sense that they all play a role in a company's financial health. Liabilities are debts or obligations that a company owes, which are recorded on the balance sheet as part of the accounting process. Receivables, on the other hand, represent money owed to the company by its customers or clients, and are also recorded on the balance sheet as assets. The relationship between these two is that receivables can eventually become liabilities if they are not collected in a timely manner, which can impact the company's financial position. Therefore, proper accounting practices are essential to accurately track and manage both liabilities and receivables to ensure the company's financial stability.
-
How can liabilities be settled in other ways?
Liabilities can be settled in other ways through various means such as debt restructuring, where the terms of the debt are renegotiated to make it more manageable for the debtor. Another way is through debt-for-equity swaps, where the creditor agrees to convert the debt into an ownership stake in the debtor's company. Additionally, liabilities can be settled through the sale of assets, where the debtor sells off assets to generate cash to pay off the liabilities. Finally, some liabilities can be settled through the issuance of new debt to replace the existing liabilities, known as refinancing.
