Pirandello and Film
Italian playwright Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936) is one of the preeminent figures of the modern European theater.

The book explores why some global environmental treaties seek to preserve and protect some parts of nature from human utilization, some seek to conserve certain parts of nature for human development, whilst others allow the reckless exploit...
Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications
Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications: Fundamental Concepts, Biological Interactions and Clinical Applications brings into one place information on the design and biomedical applications of different classes of nanoparticles. While aspects are dealt with in individual journal articles, there is not one source that covers this area comprehensively. This book fills this gap in the literature. - Outlines an in-depth review of biomedical applications of a variety of nanoparticle classes - Discusses the major techniques for designing nanoparticles for use in biomedicine - Explores safety and regulatory aspects for the use of nanoparticles in biomedicine
