In the face of so many unprecedented changes in our environment, the pressure is on scientists to lead the way toward a more sustainable future. Written by a team of ecologists, Monitoring Animal Populations and Their Habitats: A Practitioner’s Guide provides a framework that natural resource managers and researchers can use to design monitoring programs that will benefit future generations by distilling the information needed to make informed decisions. In addition, this text is valuable for undergraduate- and graduate-level courses that are focused on monitoring animal populations. With the aid of more than 90 illustrations and a four-page color insert, this book offers practical guidanc...
In addition to research and discovery, yeast surface display technology has found applications in industrial processes such as biofuel production and environmental pollutant absorption and degradation. Yeast Surface Display: Methods, Protocols, and Applications guides readers through yeast surface antibody display library and antibody engineering, yeast surface display as a tool for protein engineering, yeast surface cDNA display library construction and applications, and yeast surface display in bioassay and industrial applications. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and key tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Concise and easy-to-use, Yeast Surface Display: Methods, Protocols, and Applications aims to help accelerate the work of protein chemists, antibody engineers, molecular and cell biologists, and industrial bioengineers.

While the concept of sustainability has been widely embraced, it has been only vaguely defined and is exceedingly difficult to measure. Sustainability indicators are critical to making the broad concept of sustainability operational by providing specific measures by which decision makers and the public can judge progress. Sustainability Indicators defines the present state of the art in indicator development. It presents a comprehensive assessment of the science behind various indicators, while placing special emphasis on their use as communications tools. The contributors draw on their experience as academics and practitioners to describe the conceptual challenges to measuring something as ...

A presente obra objetiva denunciar a opressão e a exploração de mulheres como um problema advindo da desigualdade estrutural produzida por um sistema de exploração do trabalho que é essencialmente racista e sexista. Aos termos, da materialidade dialética, serão apresentadas diferentes problemáticas dos estudos de gênero contemporâneos no Brasil, com ênfase nas consequências da realidade do capitalismo Neoliberal, bem como no conservadorismo social que se instrumentaliza como legitimidade histórica de violência de gênero e finalmente nas limitações e contribuições da proteção jurídica de mulheres. Sob um olhar decolonial, a crítica se coloca no alarde da falsa neutralidade ciêntífica baseada em um suposto sujeito do conhecimento universal, mas, que na verdade é masculino, branco e detentor de privilégios econômicos. Pretende-se uma obra sensível, fruto da orientação acadêmica feminista de mulheres potentes que acreditam na utopia de um amanhã permeado por maior liberdade e igualdade.
Visions of China: Stories from Macau is an anthology of stories from the Portuguese, set against the backdrop of that former colony and, to a slightly lesser degree, its close neighbor Hong Kong during the second half of the twentieth century.
