The L-Shaped Village
Arthur Elfee (Art) is in his final year at school, and whilst trying to deal with the unexpected attentions of the prettiest girl in his year, he is also hiding a huge secret; one of his best friends is a Sprite, who appeared from nowhere four years in his past. Art believes their very treasured friendship has remained a secret, but the appearance of a magical Amulet transports him to a strange world, and a snow-covered village, where one of its inhabitants lets it slip that Art's Sprite-friend may not be all he seems... The first novel in the "L-Shaped Village" series begins to tell the story of Arthur, a seemingly ordinary boy, who, over the course of his fantastical journey, discovers he may just be at the centre of one of the most misunderstood legends of our time, that also turns out to be far from mythical. And although he has never been anything but amazingly unremarkable, Art Elfee could just be the boy with the "coolest" destiny ever.
Art and the Aristocrat
The third instalment in the bestselling 'The L-Shaped Village' Series, telling the story of the boy who may or may not turn out to be Santa Claus.
Art and the Abductor
Art Elfee may seem like just any other ordinary 16 year-old boy about to finish secondary school, but he has an amazing secret - he has discovered an opening to a world where the legend of Santa Claus is possibly very real indeed. He also has another secret - one of his best friends is one of the inhabitants of that world - a small feisty Sprite named Maga.

In this second novel, Art is unwittingly taught the ways of magic, under the watchful eye of someone who may be the key to everything ...
Progress in the Chemistry of Organic Natural Products 101
The volumes of this classic series, now referred to simply as "Zechmeister" after its founder, Laszlo Zechmeister, have appeared under the Springer Imprint ever since the series' inauguration in 1938. The series has featured contributions by seven Nobel laureates: D.H.R. Barton, D. Crowfoot Hodgkin, L. Pauling, K. Alder, O. Diels, P. Karrer, and H. von Euler-Chelpin. The volumes contain contributions on various topics related to the origin, distribution, chemistry, synthesis, biochemistry, function or use of various classes of naturally occurring substances ranging from small molecules to biopolymers. Each contribution is written by a recognized authority in the field and provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the topic in question. Addressed to biologists, technologists, and chemists alike, the series can be used by the expert as a source of information and literature citations and by the non-expert as a means of orientation in a rapidly developing discipline.
Ethnobiology of Uzbekistan
Natural resources and associated biological diversity provide the basis of livelihood for humans, particularly in rural areas and mountain regions around the world. Over centuries, indigenous peoples, traditional societies and local communities have developed their own specific knowledge regarding plant use, management, and conservation. The history of plant use by humans as food and to treat diverse ailments dates back to ancient civilizations. Even though the advent of allopathic medicine has somehow minimized the role of medicinal plants in favor of synthetic drugs, a number of modern drug discoveries have been based on medicinal plants used by indigenous peoples. Ethnobiology is the burg...
Fungal Biopolymers and Biocomposites
The book covers an overview of fungal polymers, fungal mycelial biomass, and their applications besides providing a detailed account of various opportunities. This book also includes information on developments in mycotechnology related to fashion, furnishing, construction, packaging, mycelial-based bricks, construction binder, cementing materials, and so on. Other aspects include the value of chitin, chitosan, hydrophobins, lignocellulosic composites, oil recovery, biosurfactants and bioemulsifiers, nanofibers from pullulan, exopolymeric substances, bioresins, and biocomposites. Additional topics covered in the book include self-healing fungal concrete (which could help to build repairs) an...
New Research on Neurofilament Proteins
Neurofilaments serve as a necessity in brain sensory communications. They are important structural and cellular transportation proteins found in both afferent and efferent auditory neurons. The peripheral processes of auditory neurons innervate sensory hair cells within the cochlea and a loss of these hair cells, by disease or damage, is a major cause of deafness. The decline of Neurofilaments can also lead to the cause of multiple sclerosis due to their neurological involvement. This new book brings fascinating research in this field.
Phytochemistry and Nutritional Composition of Significant Wild Medicinal and Edible Mushrooms
Fungal natural products are among some of the earliest described sources of bioactive compounds. Basidiomycetes have been a prolific source of compounds, particularly as a source of antibiotics and antifungals. Despite advances in target-based and synthetic methods for drug discovery, natural products continue to be an important source of novel compounds. This book is a comprehensive guide to many important fungal species with a focus on their phytochemistry, potential sources of bioactive compounds, known chemistry and toxicology. This book is an ideal companion to researchers and postgraduates in phytochemistry and natural product pharmacology, and mycologists.
