In recent years, the field of Toxinology has expanded substantially. On the one hand it studies venomous animals, plants and micro organisms in detail to understand their mode of action on targets. While on the other, it explores the biochemical composition, genomics and proteomics of toxins and venoms to understand their three interaction with life forms (especially humans), development of antidotes and exploring their pharmacological potential. Therefore, Toxinology has deep linkages with biochemistry, molecular biology, anatomy and pharmacology. In addition, there is a fast developing applied subfield, clinical toxinology, which deals with understanding and managing medical effects of tox...
This book takes an original and comparative approach to issues of causation in tort law across many European legal systems.

'This is an excellent book which significantly contributes to tourism research and education. It takes a rigorous yet readable style to address twenty five of the most pertinent quantitative and qualitative techniques applied in tourism research. the book will appeal to a wider readership of social scientists as well as to scholars of tourism as each chapter provides a thorough overview and explanation of the techniques irrespective of their tourism application.' – Dimitrios Buhalis, Bournemouth University, UK This insightful book explores the most important established and emerging qualitative and quantitative research methods in tourism. the authors provide a detailed overview of the nat...

In The Deepest Wounds, Thomas D. Rogers traces social and environmental changes over four centuries in Pernambuco, Brazil's key northeastern sugar-growing state. Focusing particularly on the period from the end of slavery in 1888 to the late twentieth century, when human impact on the environment reached critical new levels, Rogers confronts the day-to-day world of farming--the complex, fraught, and occasionally poetic business of making sugarcane grow. Renowned Brazilian sociologist Gilberto Freyre, whose home state was Pernambuco, observed, "Monoculture, slavery, and latifundia--but principally monoculture--they opened here, in the life, the landscape, and the character of our people, the ...
This engaging study tells the fascinating story of the only European empire to relocate its capital to the New World.
"No começo dessa semana, um poeta me escreveu um e-mail perguntando como ele deveria divulgar os seus poemas. Contei a ele que, na poesia, as coisas começaram a funcionar melhor para mim quando comecei a fazer mais pelos outros e, em consequência, mais pela sociedade. Ao responder, também, fiz questão de ressaltar o fato das pessoas saberem que sou poeta, mas conhecerem mais os meus projetos do que as minhas produções literárias ~ poemas. Por fim, escrevi: a poesia existe para além do poema, ela está nas ações em sociedade." — Jéssica Iancoski
The International Ecumenical Peace Convocation (IEPC), organized by the World Council of Churches in May 2011, brought together more than 1,000 participants from more than 100 countries. This historic gathering encouraged individuals and churches to renew their commitment to nonviolence and peace with justice, and it gave impetus for the wider ecumenical family and its related constituencies to pursue their search for peace. This book is the final report of the Convocation, offering an overview of the entire proceedings of the IEPC - from opening plenary, to thematic plenaries, to workshops and side events. With a wealth of ideas and reflections on peace with justice, the book serves not only as a record of this historic event, but also as a helpful toolkit for peacemakers and an engagement with the issues and themes related to the 2013 WCC assembly theme: "God of life, lead us to justice and peace."
Nanoparticle is a general challenge for today's technology and the near future observations of science. Nanoparticles cover mostly all types of sciences and manufacturing technologies. The properties of this particle are flying over today scientific barriers and have passed the limitations of conventional sciences. This is the reason why nanoparticles have been evaluated for the use in many fields. InTech publisher and the contributing authors of this book in nanoparticles are all overconfident to invite all scientists to read this new book. The book's potential was held until it was approached by the art of exploring the most advanced research in the field of nano-scale particles, preparation techniques and the way of reaching their destination. 25 reputable chapters were framed in this book and there were alienated into four altered sections; Toxic Nanoparticles, Drug Nanoparticles, Biological Activities and Nano-Technology.
