Seeds
The new edition of Seeds contains new information on many topics discussed in the first edition, such as fruit/seed heteromorphism, breaking of physical dormancy and effects of inbreeding depression on germination. New topics have been added to each chapter, including dichotomous keys to types of seeds and kinds of dormancy; a hierarchical dormancy classification system; role of seed banks in restoration of plant communities; and seed germination in relation to parental effects, pollen competition, local adaption, climate change and karrikinolide in smoke from burning plants. The database for the world biogeography of seed dormancy has been expanded from 3,580 to about 13,600 species. New in...
Green Chemistry for Environmental Sustainability
When the Nobel Prize Committee recognized the importance of green chemistry with its 2005 Nobel Prize for Chemistry, this relatively new science came into its own. Although no concerted agreement has been reached yet about the exact content and limits of this interdisciplinary discipline, there seems to be increasing interest in environmental topic
Modern Biocatalysis
This reference covers the wide and rapidly growing field of biocatalysis. It combines complementary expertise from such areas as microbiology, enzymology, molecular biology structural biology and organic chemistry, thus highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of the subject. With its special focus on progress and new developments towards environmentally beneficial reactions with high levels of selectivity for the production of key compound classes, this book will enlighten both chemists and biologists as to the advances and opportunities existing in enzyme catalysis.
The Challenge of Integration
The EastWest Institute took over sponsorship of the Survey when the Open Media Research Institute in Prague closed in 1997 after publishing the first two annual volumes. Overviews of eastern Europe and the former Soviet states are followed by essays on regional issues and economics, and then analyses of the current situation in specific countries. The perspectives include a year of optimism in Hungary, keeping Latvia on a course toward the west, Slovenia as an island of stability, a year of western determination in Bosnia, Vojislav Sesilj as a demagogue waiting in Yugoslavia, and progress amid privation in Georgia. The texts are accompanied by maps, data boxes, feature stories, excerpts from documents, and profiles of key figures. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Weed Seed Biology
Knowledge of weed biology is essential for development of both economically and environmentally acceptable weed management systems. With this background only, the book on “Weed Seed Biology” has been prepared. This book is a documentation of botany and seed biology of 42 dryland, 32 gardenland and 21 wetland weed species. The book consists of three major parts namely Part I: Seed biology of dryland weeds, Part II: Seed biology of gardenland weeds and Part III: Seed biology of wetland weeds. Each chapter deals with origin and distribution, habitat and habit, reproductive biology, flowering, pollination and fruit set, propagation and seed dispersal, lifecycle, seed dormancy and germination, and seed storage and burial. Besides, the past work done on weed Seed Science and Technology is also compiled by reviewing many literatures. It’s effects on crop production, control measures and uses are also included in each chapter. The book on “Weed Seed biology” is highly useful to the students, teachers and scientists specializing in weed seed science.
Hydrolases in Organic Synthesis
From reviews to the first edtion: "Bornscheuer and Kazlauskas have set out, and succeeded, in producing a definitive manual on hydrolytic enzymes (especially lipases, esterases, and proteases) for organic chemists. This is quite simply the best book of its type and can be unreservedly recommended to organic chemists who have an interest in using hydrolytic enzymes in synthesis." (Nicholas J. Turner, University of Edinburgh) "The book is an indispensable source of information on the use of hydrolases in organic synthesis. The subject matter is very well set out, and the chapters are clearly written and presented from a critical viewpoint. Bornscheuer and Kazlauskas have succeeded admirably in...
Botanical Medicines
The book also discusses recommended dosage, safety profiles, side effects, contraindications, drug interactions, safety recommendations during pregnancy and lactation, and other special precautions that users should - and may not - be aware of."--BOOK JACKET.
