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has favoured it.In the grand struggle for survival, some surprising patterns emerge: animals are always slightly out-of-date; inefficiency tends to increase over time; predators usually lose, and parasites usually win.With equal parts humour and scientific insight, Andy Dobson is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.

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.

Agricultural Innovation for Societal Change : Towards Sustainability
Over the centuries, agriculture has developed through technological steps illustrated by various agricultural revolutions.This book describes and analyses significant agricultural changes since the mid-1960s in the context of development, innovation and adoption by revisiting resource-poor farmers in Ethiopia, Sweden and Trinidad and Tobago, and considering overall development changes up to the early 2020s.It is a platform for discussing current issues for future global food security in the context of globalization and free global trade which have influenced economic growth in many countries but also created environmental concerns and a rapid increase in the number of transnational corporations (TNCs).Sustainable food production is now a global priority and therefore ecological footprints must be reduced - this book provides examples of possible technical changes required to achieve this.Reducing greenhouse gas emissions alone is insufficient: political attention must be paid to declining biodiversity, the increasing global exploration of natural resources, demography, increased consumption, waste mountains, expanding migration and antibiotic resistance.Agribusiness TNCs will challenge national governments and international donors in both research and development, increasing competition for leadership.A gradual societal change, incorporating an understanding of biological fundamentals, is necessary for achieving sustainability and for leading us towards the next agricultural revolution.

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.
