An Introduction to the Systematics of Small-bodied Neacomys (Rodentia, Cricetidae) from Peru with Descriptions of Two New Species
The genus Neacomys includes 10 recognized species of Neotropical spiny mice in the tribe Oryzomyini. Five species have previously been reported from Peru, but the small-bodied Peruvian taxa remain unrevised. In this report, we present the first systematic and taxonomic revision of small-bodied Neacomys populations in Peru and describe two new species based on molecular, morphological, and karyotype data: (1) Neacomys rosalindae, sp. nov., from northeastern Peru, is distinguished from congeneric species by, among other differences, short incisive foramina with a wide maxillary portion of the septum, a small subsquamosal fenestra, and a karyotype of 2n = 48, FN = 50. (2) Neacomys macedoruizi, ...
Studies in Natural Products Chemistry
Studies in Natural Products Chemistry, Volume 71 covers the synthesis, testing and recording of the medicinal properties of natural products, providing cutting-edge accounts of the fascinating developments in the isolation, structure elucidation, synthesis, biosynthesis and pharmacology of a diverse array of bioactive natural products. With the rapid developments in spectroscopic techniques and accompanying advances in high-throughput screening techniques, it has become possible to isolate and then determine the structures and biological activity of natural products rapidly, thus opening up exciting opportunities in the field of new drug development to the pharmaceutical industry. Natural products in the plant and animal kingdom offer a huge diversity of chemical structures that are the result of biosynthetic processes that have been modulated over the millennia through genetic effects, hence users will find the detailed information in this book to be a great resource on the topics covered. Focuses on the chemistry of bioactive natural products Contains contributions by leading authorities in the field Presents sources of new pharmacophores
Opera Viva
It started with a festival - three classic operas performed in a theatre in Toronto. But when it became apparent that there was a need for a national opera company, an organization was founded that would go on to become one of the largest performing arts organizations in the country. The Canadian Opera Company was born in 1950, and is now one of the major opera companies in North America. The Company has toured extensively throughout Canada and the United States, and has delighted audiences as far away as Australia and Hong Kong, all the while finding the time to record frequently and develop special operatic presentations for children. More than just a group of performers, the COC also prov...
Media-ICT
Cloud 9 surprises again with the Media-tic building where digital and performative architecture meet.
Digital Deli
Digital Deli explores the current visual vernacular and the circulation of images. In its layered architecture, the book expands the conventional structure of the page spread and sequencing as a narrative strategy. By juxtaposing images of different sizes, each photograph creates associations with fragments from other pages and becomes the texture of a new and complex image, that is more than the sum of all the photographs in the book. Through Digital Deli I comment on mainstream media and consumer culture. I appropriate the language of advertising, television, and social media to create playful but uncanny tableaus that question the rhetoric and the power structures behind that language.Ultimately the book investigates the identity of photography and challenges its conventions and the related expectations of the viewer.
Viva Cristo Rey
The challenges of breaking down the barriers of the new environment was nothing new to the new priest, after all he believed in angels. But he was assigned to Santa Fe, New Mexico, now where in the world was that? Nothing in the rectory library had any information about the southwest. This was going to be quite the adventure. Nothing in his sociology classes had any material on pre-war Northern New Mexico chili-tortilla society. But he would soon find out. His new mission and a new life gave him the colors he needed.

Cause-Related Marketing
This textbook uses a case study approach to present a variety of cause-related marketing campaigns that have been developed by companies, and NGOs. These innovative case studies help students understand how such campaigns affect for-profit and non-profit organizations, customers, and society in general. This book also offers numerous useful examples to understand the theory of cause-related marketing and how it can be applied in different countries and cultural contexts. Lecturers will find the teaching notes provided with each case useful for the classroom.
Confronting Biopiracy
'Biopiracy' refers either to the unauthorised extraction of biological resources, such as plants with medicinal properties, and associated traditional knowledge from indigenous peoples and local communities, or to the patenting of spurious 'inventions' based on such knowledge or resources without compensation. Biopiracy cases continue to emerge in the media and public eye, yet they remain the source of considerable disagreement, confusion, controversy and grief. The aim of this book is to provide the most detailed, coherent analysis of the issue of biopiracy to date.The book synthesises the rise of the issue and increasing use of the term by activists and negotiators in the World Trade Organ...
