Plant Biology
Plant Biology is a new textbook written for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students.

The book begins with a review of what is known about the origins of modern-day plants. Next, the special features of plant genomes and genetics are explored. Subsequent chapters provide information on our current understanding of plant cell biology, plant metabolism, and plant developmental biology, with the remaining three chapters outlining the interactions of plants with their environments. The final chapter discusses the relationship of plants with humans: domestication, agriculture and crop breeding. Plant Biology contains over 1,000 full color illustrations, and each chapter begins with Learning Objectives and concludes with a Summary.
The Troubles in Ballybogoin
Why are the political polarities of Northern Ireland so intractable? Why, in a society riven by class division, do Northern Ireland's people identify most strongly with the nationalist and religious groupings of British Protestant versus Irish Catholic? Why, after over thirty years of violence and death, is dialogue about the future so difficult to create and sustain? In The Troubles in Ballybogoin, William F. Kelleher Jr. examines the patterns of avoidance and engagement deployed by people in the western region of Northern Ireland and compares them to colonial patterns of settlement and retreat. The book shows how social memories inform and are strengthened by mundane aspects of daily lifeâ...
A Gathering Storm
The setting is central Georgia. Across the state, dogwoods and azaleas are bursting forth in springtime splendor. Yet, threatening clouds are forming on the horizon. The FBI learns that international terrorists have slipped into the country, with a final destination of Atlanta. "Why Atlanta?" they ask. "And why Georgia?" The FBI enlists the support of local police and compiles a list of potential targets, including a nuclear sub base, the Center for Disease Control, a nuclear weapons facility, the Lockheed plant that's building the nation's next-generation jet fighter, and the Carter Center, where Middle-Eastern leaders will soon meet for peace talks. As the story unfolds, the reader glimpses the terrorists as they move toward their own D-Day. Related developments include the theft of a large truck that's suitable for delivering explosives, and the theft of a cache of ammonium nitrates. The story embraces a small-town law enforcement officer who displays savvy and intution as he helps derail this potential threat. It's a tale of action and intrigue, mixed with a generous portion of southern Americana.

Land War and Eviction in Derryveagh, 1840-65
The Derryveagh Evictions, more popularly known by their misnomer, the Glenveagh Evictions, could be the story of any part of rural Ireland in the post-famine period. That they occurred on the scale that they did and at that particular point in time is at once easily understood, because, just as the corriter's potatoes were blighted, so also were the fortunes of many a landlord who then fell prey to the 'land jobbers'. The tenantry may have bewailed their plight during pre-famine days but theirs was to be the unenviable future of rack-renting, insecurity and eviction at the hands of a new aspiring landowning class that stalked the Incumbered Estates Courts seeking easy and quick fortunes. The Derryveagh Evictions were one of the more harrowing episodes of this period. -- Publisher description
