Overview: The present series, "Bio-organic Marine Chemistry," is being launched at a time when we have the fundamental knowledge and the requisite instrumentation to probe the molecular basis of many biological phenomena. The final volume of "Marine Natural Products-Chemical and Biological Perspectives" (Academic Press), which may be con­ sidered the precursor of this series, was published in 1983. In that series, which I edited, primary emphasis was placed on molecular structure and phyletic relationships. This focus was compatible with the major concerns of a growing research community in th

Overview: Examines a little-known part of American history, the anti-foreclosure protests led by the Farmers’ Holiday Association.Considers the role of the past and visions of “utopia” in shaping political moveThis book explores those who long for “bygone utopias,” times before rapid, culturally destructive social change stripped individuals of their perceived agency. The case of the wave of foreclosure protests that swept through the rural American Midwest during the 1930s illustrates these themes. These actions embodied a utopian understanding of agrarian society that had largely disappeared

Overview: Interdisziplinäre Plant Studies und die Gegenwartslyrik.Klimawandel und Poetologie.Perspektiven der Naturlyrik der GegenwartLieß Brechts zum Diktum gewordenes Versfragment «Gespräch über Bäume» die Naturlyrik zum fragwürdigen Genre werden, so rief es gleichwohl bald Widerspruch hervor, nicht nur in Paul Celans lyrischer Replik «Ein Blatt, baumlos» und den ebenfalls auf Brecht antwortenden Gedichten Erich Frieds und Günter Eichs, sondern auch in der engagierten ökokritischen Dichtung seit den 1970er Jahren. Während das «Gespräch über Bäume» vor allem auf Natur und Landschaft als Gegen

Overview: Based on course material used by the author at Yale University,this practical text addresses the widening gap found between themathematics required for upper-level courses in the physical sciencesand the knowledge of incoming students. This superb book offersstudents an excellent opportunity to strengthen their mathematicalskills by solving various problems in differential calculus. Bycovering material in its simplest form, students can look forward to asmooth entry into any course in the physical sciences.978-0-306-45036-5978-1-4899-6798-5

Overview: Presents a comprehensive overview of CTD measurements in the abyssal channels.Combines measurements in the abyssal depths of the ocean with numerical modeling.Provides essential data and scientific reThis book is dedicated to the analysis of bottom waters flows through underwater channels of the Atlantic Ocean. The study is based on recent observations of the authors, analysis of historical data, numerical modeling, and literature review. For example, studying both the measurements from the World Ocean Circulation experiment in the 1990s and recent measurements reveals the decadal va

Overview: Discusses the psychological, ecological and biological responses to the components of colonialism and imperialism.Fosters a global movement toward change through a sense of connectedness across the di.This book provides an in-depth historical exploration of the risk and protective factors that generate disproportionality in the psychological wellness, somatic health, and general safety of Black men in four industrialized Euronormative nations. It provides a detailed analysis of how nationalism, globalism, colonialism, and imperialism have facilitated practices, philosophies, and poli

Overview: Making architecture constructible.Careful, detailed presentation of the interrelationships of the building construction.A concise but comprehensive practical guide.Construction is the means by which designing architects and engineers transform.a design idea into built reality. It is from this perspective that the subject of.‘building construction design‘ is dealt with by the architect José Luis Moro in.three comprehensive volumes. Each is dedicated to the methodological,.physical and functional fundamentals, the conception of a constructional.solution, and finally its implementation

Overview: Provides information on the fundamental processes during composting.Highlights the tools and techniques used for composting research.Illustrates applications of composting in agriculture.This book highlights the latest findings on fundamental aspects of composting, the interaction of various microorganisms, and the underlying mechanisms. In addition to addressing modern tools and techniques used for composting research, it provides an overview of potential composting applications in both agriculture and environmental reclamation..Composting is the process of organic waste decompositi

Overview: In a difficult economic climate it is more important than ever to manage bad behaviour in the workplace and minimize the damage negative and destructive employees can have on an organization. This book looks at the problems companies can face but also shows how to resolve these issues and work towards a positive outcome.978-1-349-36921-8978-0-230-30384-3

Overview: Over the last two decades, globalization has had a profound impact on how we view the world and its sustainability. One group of professionals that lies at the heart of sustainability is the engineers. Engineers are trained problem solvers, required to implement technical solutions and are at the forefront of the development of new technologies. Although engineers play a critical role in sustainability, traditional engineering programs typically only focus on the technocentric and ecocentric dimensions of sustainability, providing little training on the sociocentric dimension. With m

Overview: Investigates judicial borrowing as a legally contentious phenomenon.Analyzes more than 40 decisions of the Supreme Court of Brazil.Suggests how to reformulate the delicate questions raised by judicial.The proportionality test, as proposed in Robert Alexy’s principles theory, is becoming commonplace in comparative constitutional studies. And yet, the question “are courts justified in borrowing proportionality?” has not been expressly put in many countries where judicial borrowings are a reality. This book sheds light on this question and examines the circumstances under which courts a

Overview: With the growing incidence of fragility fractures in Europe and North America over the last three decades, bone loss and osteoporosis have become active areas of research in skeletal biology. Bone loss is associated with aging in both sexes and is accelerated in women with the onset of menopause. However, bone loss is related to a suite of complex and often synergistically related factors including genetics, pathology, nutrition, mechani­ cal usage, and lifestyle. It is not surprising that its incidence and severity vary among populations. There has been increasing interest to invest

Overview: In October 1982, a small international symposium was held at the Gesellschaft fUr Strahlen- und Umweltforschung mbH (GSF) in Munich as a satellite meeting of the IX International Conference on Analytical Cytology. The symposium focussed on cytometric approaches to biological dosimetry, and was, to the best of our knowledge, the first meeting on this subject ever held. There was strong encouragement from the 75 attendees and from others to publish a proceedings of the symposium. Hence this book, containing 30 of the 36 presentations, has been assembled. Dosimetry, the accurate and sys

Overview: First book on Bayesian methods in structural bioinformatics, defining an important emerging field.High profile contributors.Unlike other edited volumes, the book forms a solid unity, with nearly 100 p.This book is an edited volume, the goal of which is to provide an overview of the current state-of-the-art in statistical methods applied to problems in structural bioinformatics (and in particular protein structure prediction, simulation, experimental structure determination and analysis). It focuses on statistical methods that have a clear interpretation in the framework of statistica

Overview: Twenty years ago, researchers wishing to identify contaminated areas in aquatic environments generally took water samples, and analysed them badly (as we have since discovered) for a few "pollutants" which were of topical note at the time (and which could be quantified by the methods then available). Today, the use of aquatic organisms as biomonitors in preference to water analysis has become commonplace, and many national and interna­ tional programmes exist around the world involving such studies. We believe that this trend will continue, and have complete faith in the methodology
