There was some discussion (which I think was on this list) a long time ago,
whether publishing book announcements was legitimate task for a Higher
education-based (and funded) list. If I remember well the answer was that
it is legitimate to do so.
I like seeing them since I order books for our institution's library on
behalf of our department.

Subject: Re: Book announcement
Is the announcement of books sensible use of the list? If we all did it the
email systems would be jammed. Personally I would prefer not to get this
bombardment of messages.

Western societies are calling for speedy change in agriculture and the
agrifood industries to incorporate
new quality criteria into the goods they produce. To promote these changes
what scientists must develop are not universally implementable technical
solutions, but self-diagnosis methods to be used by agricultural producers
and their advisors. They also need to evolve new procedures for research
intervention in collective organisations. There is a need for new individual
and collective learning and organisation processes based on
transdisciplinarity and co-learning among researchers, development
professionals, decision makers and farmers. In this book, scientists from
ten industrialised countries describe and reflect on their theoretical and
practical experience of the different forms of learning they experimented
with.
