Overview: Worldwide interest is currently focussed on past global changes. The objective here is to document environmental variations of the past to help understand present day processes and provide background data for computer-modelling aimed at predicting the future. This new book brings together sedimentological, geochemical, palaeomagnetic and palaeobiological proxy-data from maar lakes of the three European volcanic areas of Westeifel (Germany), Massif Central (France) and the Italian Peninsula (Italy). The high resolution, in parts even annual, of the studied lacustrine sedimentary recor

Overview: For a long time I have felt that the present gynaecological training for registrars lacked familiarisation and understanding of the basic principles of surgery. This is due to several factors. Firstly, the historical separation of gynaecology from general surgery which led to our development as an independent speciality (and which Victor Bonney foretold to our detriment when he opposed the formation of the College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists as a separate body from the College of Surgeons). Secondly, a vast improvement in medical management of many gynaecological conditions h

Overview: Presents recent research and new data in plant epigenetics, and characterizes and discusses all players in epigenetics: DNA methylation, RNA modification, ncRNA, chromatin modification and remodeling..This book presents, in 26 chapters, the status quo in epigenomic profiling. It discusses how functional information can be indirectly inferred and describes the new approaches that promise functional answers, collectively referred to as epigenome editing. It highlights the latest important advances in our understanding of the functions of plant epigenomics and new technologies for the s

Overview: Fully revised and updated.Includes the latest research findingsWhen starting our work on this book, we intended to summarize and synthesize the new information that had developed in the last 20–30 years in the field of plant l- ter decomposition. It turned out, however, that the main part of more recent work was directed toward boreal and temperate forest systems, and therefore with a focus on these ecosystems, we finally concluded a synthesis that has a similarity to a case study. Still, we hope that a deeper insight into the behavior of a limited number of litter species will be of

Overview: In Political and Social Issues in British Women‘s Fiction, 1928-1968 , Elizabeth Maslen reassesses fiction written by women between the granting of universal franchise and the advent of new-wave feminism. Through close readings of a wide range of novels, Maslen analyses how writers chose to represent such issues as pacifism and the threat of fascism, war, race and class, and gender, exploring in the process how the writers‘ priorities affect their decisions on how to write.978-1-349-40624-1978-0-230-51192-7
