Haitian-Dominican Counterpoint
What would the island of Hispaniola look like if viewed as a loosely connected system? That is the question Haitian-Dominican Counterpointseeks to answer as it surveys the insular space shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic throughout their parallel histories. For beneath the familiar tale of hostilities, the systemic perspective reveals a lesser-known, "unitarian" narrative of interdependencies and reciprocal influences shaping each country'sidentity. In view of the sociocultural and economic linkages connecting the two countries, their relations would have to resemble not so much acockfight (the conventional metaphor) as a serial and polyrhythmic counterpoint.
Investigaciones biogeográficas en el Parque Natural del Cabo de Gata-Níjar (Almería)
En esta publicación se recogen los trabajos de observación y análisis realizados en el campo durante las VII Jornadas de Biogeografía, llevadas a cabo durante los días 31 de mayo al 6 de junio en el Parque Natural de Cabo de Gata-Níjar. El resultado de las tareas colectivas, así como las conclusiones de los distintos gurpos de trabajo constituyen cada uno de los principales epígrafes de la publicación.
The Land of Unlikeness
Hieronymus Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights takes a special place in European art history, partly because of the special late-medieval imagery. The meaning of the painting, however, differs according to every expert. After extensive research, Reindert
Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation
During the past three decades there has been a large amount of research on biological nitrogen fixation, in part stimulated by increasing world prices of nitrogen-containing fertilizers and environmental concerns. In the last several years, research on plant--microbe interactions, and symbiotic and asymbiotic nitrogen fixation has become truly interdisciplinary in nature, stimulated to some degree by the use of modern genetic techniques. These methodologies have allowed us to make detailed analyses of plant and bacterial genes involved in symbiotic processes and to follow the growth and persistence of the root-nodule bacteria and free-living nitrogen-fixing bacteria in soils. Through the eff...
Marine Nitrogen Fixation
This book aims to serve as a centralized reference document for students and researchers interested in aspects of marine nitrogen fixation. Although nitrogen is a critical element in both terrestrial and aquatic productivity, and nitrogen fixation is a key process that balances losses due to denitrification in both environments, most resources on the subject focuses on the biochemistry and microbiology of such processes and the organisms involved in the terrestrial environment on symbiosis in terrestrial systems, or on largely ecological aspects in the marine environment. This book is intended to provide an overview of N2 fixation research for marine researchers, while providing a reference ...
Chemical and Functional Properties of Food Saccharides
This fourth volume in the Chemical and Functional Properties of Food Components series focuses on saccharides as food constituents. Written by an international group of experts, it provides an up-to-date review of a wide spectrum of issues, focusing on the current research and literature on the properties of compounds, their mechanisms of action, a
The Cancer Atlas
This atlas illustrates the latest available data on the cancer epidemic, showing causes, stages of development, and prevalence rates of different types of cancers by gender, income group, and region. It also examines the cost of the disease, both in terms of health care and commercial interests, and the steps being taken to curb the epidemic, from research and screening to cancer management programs and health education.
Franco's Internationalists
Despite the repression, violence, and social hardship which characterised Spanish life in the 1940s and 1950s, the Franco regime sought to win popular support by promoting its apparent commitment to social justice. This study tells the story of the experts in public health, medicine, and social insurance sent to sell Franco's regime overseas.
