Induced Resistance for Plant Defence
Plant diseases worldwide are responsible for billions of dollarsworth of crop losses every year. With less agrochemicals being usedand less new fungicides coming on the market due to environmentalconcerns, more effort is now being put into the use of geneticpotential of plants for pathogen resistance and the development ofinduced or acquired resistance as an environmentally safe means ofdisease control. This comprehensive book examines in depth the development andexploitation of induced resistance. Chapters review currentknowledge of the agents that can elicit induced resistance,genomics, signalling cascades, mechanisms of defence to pests andpathogens and molecular tools. Further chapters consider thetopical application of inducers for disease control, microbialinduction of pathogen resistance, transgenic approaches, pathogenpopulation biology, trade offs associated with induced resistanceand integration of induced resistance in crop protection. The bookconcludes with a consideration of socio-economic driversdetermining the use of induced resistance, and the future ofinduced resistance in crop protection.

Tamarind
Tropical fruit trees are important crops which supplement and improve the quality of diets. Many of the species have multi-purpose uses, in that they produce non-food products for small-holders . Harvesting from these trees enables rural people to provide nutrition for a balanced diet and generate income thus alleviating poverty. The potencial of indigenous tropical fruits has not been fully realised. The purpose of this book is to assemble information on production, processing, marketing and utilisation of tamarind, to highlight the importance of the species for nutrition and poverty alleviation. This information will be disseminated to a wide audience in both developed and developing countries. An extension manual is currently in preparation for dissemination to farmers, extension workers and policy makers.

Plant Invasions
There are many books on aspects of plant invasions, but none that focus on the key role of species interactions in mediating invasions. This book reviews exciting new findings and explores how new methods and tools are shedding new light on crucial processes in plant invasions. This book will be of interest to academics and students of ecology, researchers engaged in developing management solutions, scientific managers of natural ecosystems, and policy-makers.
Can Theory Help Translators?
Can Theory Help Translators? is a dialogue between a theoretical scholar and a professional translator, about the usefulness (if any) of translation theory. The authors argue about the problem of the translator's identity, the history of the translator's role, the translator's visibility, translation types and strategies, translation quality, ethics and translation aids.
