Provenance and Possession
A thought-provoking study of how knowledge of provenance was not transferred with enslaved people and goods from the Portuguese trading empire to Renaissance Italy In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, Renaissance Italy received a bounty of "goods" from Portuguese trading voyages—fruits of empire that included luxury goods, exotic animals and even enslaved people. Many historians hold that this imperial "opening up" of the world transformed the way Europeans understood the global. In this book, K.J.P. Lowe challenges such an assumption, showing that Italians of this era cared more about the possession than the provenance of their newly acquired global goods. With three detailed case st...
Molecular Genetics and Emerging Therapies for Epithelial Ovarian Cancer: Basic Research and Clinical Perspectives
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecological disorder due to a lack of effective early detection strategies. Worldwide, approximately 230,000 women are diagnosed annually, whereas 150,000 die. It represents the seventh most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in the world with 5-year survival rate of 46%. More than one-fifth of EOC have been related to hereditary conditions. Considerable efforts have been made to implement screening of the general population to diagnose EOC early; nevertheless, this has been ineffective and there is no approved strategy. Nowadays, new approaches for early diagnosis and prevention based on molecular genomics are in development. Whole gen...

Mathematics Of Life
A new partnership of biologists and mathematicians is picking apart the hidden complexity of animals and plants to throw fresh light on the behaviour of entire organisms, how they interact and how changes in biological diversity affect the planet's ecological balance. Mathematics offers new and sometimes startling perspectives on evolution and how patterns of inheritance and population work out over time-scales ranging from millions to hundreds of years - as well as what's going on to change us right now. Ian Stewart, in characteristically clear and entertaining fashion, explores these and a whole range of pertinent issues, including how far genes control behaviour and the nature of life itself. He shows how far mathematicians and biologists are succeeding in tackling some of the most difficult scientific problems the human race has ever confronted and where their research is currently taking us.

Sustainable Aquaculture Production for Improved Food Security
Food security has been persistently recognized in global discourse as one of the world’s main challenges. While some progress has been made towards ensuring access to safe, nutritious, and sufficient food for all people all year round (SDG Target 2.1) or eradicating all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2), over 800 million people are estimated to suffer from chronic hunger. With outputs from capture fisheries stagnating over the past few decades, aquaculture holds the potential to play crucial roles in achieving food security, but its importance for food security and nutrition has often been undervalued, and concerns exist regarding its environmental footprint. The rapid expansion of aq...
Royal and Elite Households in Medieval and Early Modern Europe
In this volume, the authors bring fresh approaches to the subject of royal and noble households in medieval and early modern Europe. The essays focus on the people of the highest social rank: the nuclear and extended royal family, their household attendants, noblemen and noblewomen as courtiers, and physicians. Themes include financial and administrative management, itinerant households, the household of an imprisoned noblewoman, blended households, and cultural influence. The essays are grounded in sources such as records of court ceremonial, economic records, letters, legal records, wills, and inventories. The authors employ a variety of methods, including prosopography, economic history, visual analysis, network analysis, and gift exchange, and the collection is engaged with current political, sociological, anthropological, gender, and feminist theories.
Transition Pathways towards Sustainability in Agriculture
Based on the research of an interdisciplinary team of sociologists, geographers and economists, this book focuses on understanding farming transitions in Europe. The book discusses the importance of understanding transition pathways towards sustainability using case studies from Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Portugal and the United Kingdom. Assessing the utility of the multi-level perspective in transition theory for addressing contemporary issues, the book identifies future research needs and possible approaches, making this an essential read for researchers interested in issues of rural and agricultural change.
