Plant Silicon Interactions between Organisms and the Implications for Ecosystems
In this Frontiers topic, we explore how the functions and fates of plant silicon interact with other organisms and ecosystem processes. By bringing together new data from multiple disciplines and scales, we present a cross-section of novel explorations into how plants use silicon and the implications for agriculture and ecosystems. Key aims in this field are to understand the determinants of plant silicon uptake and cycling, and the benefits that silicon uptake confers on plants, including reducing the impacts of stresses such as herbivory. Current research explores inter-specific interactions, including co-evolutionary relationships between plant silicon and animals, particularly morphologi...

Food Research
Biocultural and archaeological research on food, past and present, often relies on very specific, precise, methods for data collection and analysis. These are presented here in a broad-based review. Individual chapters provide opportunities to think through the adoption of methods by reviewing the history of their use along with a discussion of research conducted using those methods. A case study from the author's own work is included in each chapter to illustrate why the methods were adopted in that particular case along with abundant additional resources to further develop and explore those methods.
La symphonie dans la cité
Tout au long du XIXe siecle, la place accordee a la pratique musicale collective dans le nord de la France et notamment a Lille est considerable. Toutefois aucun ouvrage jusqu'a present n'avait encore ete consacre a l'un de ses aspects les plus specifiques, a savoir l'engouement exceptionnel des auditeurs et des musiciens eux-memes pour le concert symphonique. Des festivals grandioses ou brillent des interpretes renommes et des compositeurs tels que Berlioz; des societes dynamiques a meme de creer plus d'un chef-d'oeuvre avant Paris; de grands ensembles que dirigent tantot un Alfred Cortot, tantot l'une des premieres femmes chef d'orchestre, constituent autant de precieux temoignages qui, le...
Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs
The first in the Half-Moon Hollow series is “wry, delicious fun” (Susan Andersen, New York Times bestselling author) as it follows a librarian whose life is turned upside down by a tempestuous and sexy vampire.

When children’s librarian and self-professed nice girl Jane Jameson is fired by her beastly boss and handed twenty-five dollars in potato skins instead of a severance check, she goes on a bender that’s sure to become Half Moon Hollow legend. On her way home, she’s mistaken for a deer, shot, and left for dead. And thanks to the mysterious stranger she met while chugging neon-colored cocktails, she wakes...
