Trophy Hunting
This book gets to the heart of trophy hunting, unpacking and explaining its multiple facets and controversies, and exploring why it divides environmentalists, the hunting community, and the public. Bichel and Hart provide the first interdisciplinary and comprehensive approach to the study of trophy hunting, investigating the history of trophy hunting, and delving into the background, identity and motivation of trophy hunters. They also explore the role of social media and anthropomorphism in shaping trophy hunting discourse, as well as the viability of trophy hunting as a wildlife management tool, the ideals of fair chase and sportsmanship, and what hunting trophies are, both literally and in terms of their symbolic value to hunters and non-hunters. The analyses and discussions are underpinned by a consideration of the complex moral and practical conflicts between animal rights and conservation paradigms. This book appeals to scholars in environmental philosophy, conservation and environmental studies, as well as hunters, hunting opponents, wildlife management practitioners, and policymakers, and anyone with a broad interest in human–wildlife relations.

Atapuerca
En Atapuerca, Eudald Carbonell y Rosa M. Tristán repasan con exhaustividad y contagiosa fascinación la historia del yacimiento, sus claves y su relevancia, y los detalles de su formación y de los trabajos que en él se han realizado y se realizan en la actualidad. Con todo ello, nos sumergen en un mundo prehistórico explicado con tanta precisión que llegan a hacernos sentir parte de él. Se han escrito muchos libros sobre Atapuerca, pero ninguno como este, completo, riguroso, entretenido y cautivador, redactado por algunas de las personas que, posiblemente, mejor conocen sus secretos.
La cueva de Caldas (Priorio, Oviedo)
Este libro recoge los resultados de las investigaciones realizadas por un equipo internacional e interdisciplinar, en la Cueva de Las Caldas (Asturias). La cavidad fue habitada durante ca. 21,000 a 12,000 BP, y conserva uno de los registros estratigráficos más importantes del Solutrense y Magdaleniense de Europa, así como grabados parietales en el vestíbulo. Diferentes especialistas estudian las ocupaciones de la Sala II, que corresponden al Magdaleniense inferior, medio y superior y el Solutrense final. Destaca la colección de Arte mueble en hueso, asta y marfil, a la que se suman más de 400 plaquitas de arenisca grabadas con motivos figurativos y lineales, o con pintura roja. Algunos de los sujetos reproducidos en este arte son emblemáticos por su rareza: antropomorfos, bisontes, mamuts, renos, rinocerontes lanudos, rebecos, etc. A este volumen seguirá una segunda monografía, dedicada al estudio espacial del paisaje de Las Caldas, los suelos de ocupación y los restos humanos, así como al registro arqueológico solutrenses de la Sala II y el Arte parietaL

Biotechnology of Fruit and Nut Crops, 2nd Edition
This book covers the biotechnology of all the major fruit and nut species. Since the very successful first edition of this book in 2004, there has been rapid progress for many fruit and nut species in cell culture, genomics and genetic transformation, especially for citrus and papaya. This book covers both these cutting-edge technologies and regeneration pathways, protoplast culture, in vitro mutagenesis, ploidy manipulation techniques that have been applied to a wider range of species. Three crop species, Diospyros kaki (persimmon), Punica granatum (pomegranate) and Eriobotrya japonica (loquat) are included for the first time. The chapters are organized by plant family to make it easier to make comparisons and exploitation of work with related species. Each chapter discusses the plant family and the related wild species for 38 crop species, and has colour illustrations. It is essential for scientists and post graduate students who are engaged in the improvement of fruit, nut and plantation crops.
