The Contamination of the Earth
The trajectories of pollution in global capitalism, from the toxic waste of early tanneries to the poisonous effects of pesticides in the twentieth century. Through the centuries, the march of economic progress has been accompanied by the spread of industrial pollution. As our capacities for production and our aptitude for consumption have increased, so have their byproducts--chemical contamination from fertilizers and pesticides, diesel emissions, oil spills, a vast "plastic continent" found floating in the ocean. The Contamination of the Earth offers a social and political history of industrial pollution, mapping its trajectories over three centuries, from the toxic wastes of early tanneries to the fossil fuel energy regime of the twentieth century.
Functional Plant Genomics
The openings offered by functional genomics reconciles organism biology and molecular biology, in order to define an integrative biology that should allow new insights about how a phenotype is built up from a genotype in interaction with its environment. This book covers a wide area of concepts and methods in genomics. This range from international
Bio-informatique
Située à l'interface entre la biologie et l'informatique, la bio-informatique et ses outils font aujourd'hui partie du « paysage » des laboratoires s'intéressant de près ou de loin à la structure, au fonctionnement et à l'évolution des génomes. Pour tous les intervenants, s'approprier les outils d'analyse, de stockage et de visualisation des séquences d'acides nucléiques et d'acides aminés est devenu une nécessité. Ce livre contribuera à une meilleure compréhension des outils à disposition et de leurs principes de fonctionnement et permettra ainsi d'en faire un usage raisonné.
Pesticides
Les pesticides font aujourd’hui l’objet d’enjeux environnementaux considérables. Cet ouvrage présente les résultats de quinze années de recherches financées par le ministère en charge de l’Écologie, sur la réduction des risques environnementaux associés à l’utilisation des pesticides. Il met particulièrement l’accent sur le transfert des résultats pour l’appui à la décision publique.
Acta Historiae Artium Balticae: 2
The second issue of the AHAB comes out under the title of Art and the Sacred. Ritual and religious objects, today classified as art, were once not claimed as such. Clearly, artworks that were intended for religious services were not created on purely aesthetic grounds; they were not intended to be art works per se. Nevertheless, academic practice and discourse has treated them primarily as art even though the word ‘sacred’ is placed before the word ‘art’ in these discourses. In today’s scholarship, the proliferation of anthropological research vividly indicates the tensions that exist between art and what is considered sacred.
Implant Dentistry at a Glance
It provides a concise and accessible introduction and revision aid, comprehensively covering all the constituent sub-topics that comprise implant dentistry.

Is an ideal companion for all students of dentistry, junior clinicians and members of the dental team with an interest in implant dentistry. [editor].
French-speaking Women Documentarians
French-Speaking Women Documentarians is a guide for teachers of French and others interested in selecting and researching the work of female French-speaking documentarians. Represented in this book are filmmakers from Canada, various African nations, the Antilles, Lebanon, Switzerland, Belgium, and several other countries, with emphasis on Agnès Varda of France - arguably the greatest female documentarian of all. The book includes information on each filmmaker, classified by country of origin, and lists and describes her works, giving factual information such as date, duration, credits, and synopses, and pointing out critical treatments, both in English and in French, of her most important films. Shorts, docudramas, and works of animation are also discussed, as they, too, reflect history and culture. This guide will lead to the viewing of films that shed understanding on the culture being portrayed and to a greater appreciation of the contribution of French-speaking women filmmakers to this important, if not always objective, film genre.
Natural History Collections in the Science of the 21st Century
Natural history collections have recently acquired an unprecedented place of importance in scientific research. Originally created in the context of systematics and taxonomy, they are now proving to be fundamental for answering various scientific and societal questions that are as significant as they are current. Natural History Collections in the Science of the 21st Century presents a wide range of questions and answers raised by the study of collections. The billions of specimens that have been collected from all around the world over more than two centuries provide us with information that is vital in our quest for knowledge about the Earth, the universe, the diversity of life and the history of humankind. These collections also provide valuable reference points from the past to help us understand the nature and dynamics of global change today. Their physical permanence is the best guarantee we have of a return to data and to information sources in the context of open science.
