What political conflicts and economic processes underlie this dominance?\u0026nbsp; Who controls the world\u0026rsquo;s supply of grains and with what outcomes?\u0026nbsp; In this timely book, Bill Winders unravels the complex story of feed and food grains in the global economy.\u0026nbsp; Highlighting the importance of corporate control and divisions between grains - such as who grows them, and who consumes them - he shows how grains do not represent a unitary political and economic force.\u0026nbsp; Whilst the differences between them may seem small, they can lead to competing economic interests and policy preferences with serious and, on occasions, violent geopolitical consequences.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nThis richly detailed and authoritative guide will be of interest to students across the social sciences, as well as anyone interested in current affairs.\u0026quot;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EGrains\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp;is available for purchase on \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Grains-Resources-Bill-Winders\/dp\/0745688047\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1485207772\u0026amp;sr=8-1\u0026amp;keywords=grains+bill+winders\u0022\u003EAmazon.\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Dr. Winders\u0027 new book surrounding this important component of most people\u0027s diet is available for purchase"}],"uid":"33693","created_gmt":"2017-01-23 21:45:24","changed_gmt":"2017-01-23 21:45:24","author":"Kayleigh Haskin","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2017-01-23T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2017-01-23T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"586372":{"id":"586372","type":"image","title":"Grains","body":null,"created":"1485207912","gmt_created":"2017-01-23 21:45:12","changed":"1485207912","gmt_changed":"2017-01-23 21:45:12","alt":"","file":{"fid":"223482","name":"412QwMN+-WL._SX350_BO1,204,203,200_ (1).jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/412QwMN%2B-WL._SX350_BO1%2C204%2C203%2C200_%20%281%29.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/412QwMN%2B-WL._SX350_BO1%2C204%2C203%2C200_%20%281%29.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":16452,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/412QwMN%2B-WL._SX350_BO1%2C204%2C203%2C200_%20%281%29.jpg?itok=Z5FPE__d"}}},"media_ids":["586372"],"groups":[{"id":"473211","name":"_OLD: School of History and Sociology Student Blog"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"166849","name":"HSOC Blog"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
