This handbook in two volumes synthesises our knowledge about the ecology of Central Europe’s plant cover with its 7000-yr history of human impact, covering Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic and Slovakia. Based on a thorough literature review with 5500 cited references and nearly 1000 figures and tables, the two books review in 26 chapters all major natural and man-made vegetation types with their climatic and edaphic influences, the structure and dynamics of their communities, the ecophysiology of important plant species, and key aspects of ecosystem functioning. Volume I deals with the forests and scrub vegetation and analyses the ecology of Central Europe’s tree flora, whilst Volume II is dedicated to the non-forest vegetation covering mires, grasslands, heaths, alpine habitats and urban vegetation. The consequences of over-use, pollution and recent climate change over the last century are explored and conservation issues addressed.

Twelve years have passed since its last edition - making Antimicrobials in Foods, Third Edition the must-have resource for those interested in the latest information on food antimicrobials. During that time, complex issues regarding food preservation and safety have emerged. A dozen years ago, major outbreaks of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Listeri
Bezruký Frantík, Ludmila Mojžíšová, František Venclovský, Olga Connolly-Fikotová. A mnozí další. Jména, z nichž některá jsou známá dodnes, některá zvlášť mladší generaci už moc neřeknou, ale ve své době je znal každý. Jména, která psala příběhy dvacátého století. A jsou to příběhy o lidské odvaze postavit se nepřízni osudu, o síle jít za svým cílem i přes odmítnutí režimu, okolí, nebo dokonce svých nejbližších. O lidech, kteří často předhonili svou dobu. Jsou to příběhy, které mohou inspirovat každého z nás. Příběhy, na které by se nemělo zapomenout. Výpravná publikace Pavla Kováře představuje devatenáct osobností československé sportovní, kulturní i politické scény. Často jde o osobní svědectví, protože s některými z nich se sám znal a přátelil. Jejich životní příběhy připomene i množství dobových fotografií.
Largely based on laboratory work, the volume opens with a review on hops in general, while the bulk of the book covers the chemistry of the bitter acids of hop and beer. Practical, fully detailed procedures on the preparation and/or the separation of many of the compounds discussed are included. There is a chapter included on the complicated issue of bitter acid analysis, and several on the high-efficiency liquid chromatography of hop bitter acids. Bearing in mind the lack of literature produced recently in this field, the book is an excellent review of the present state of knowledge, and gives a large list of topics pointing to worthwhile studies for the future. The indexes provided will serve as a reference library-dictionary to hops, hop and beer bitter acids chemistry and analysis.
