The word "wildlife" is used to describe the wide variety of plant and animal species found in the biosphere. Wildlife often relates to vertebrate animals including higher plants, although the phrase may be used to include all forms of biodiversity in the natural world. Wildlife ecology is now a well-established scientific discipline that examines ecosystems on several levels, from genes to biomes. Methods covered in the book include taking an inventory of a population's health and size, studying migration patterns and physiology, assessing habitat quality, and constructing food webs. Wildlife management is difficult because it involves both cutting-edge ecological research and a well-grounde...

Pollutants, Human Health and the Environment is a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of environmental pollutants that are of current concern to human health. Clearly structured throughout, the main body of the book is divided by pollutant type with a chapter devoted to each group of pollutants. Each chapter follows a similar format to facilitate comparison and discussion. For each pollutant, the authors describe the sources, pathways, environmental fate and sinks as well as known toxicological effects. Importantly, the second chapter on heavy metals and other inorganic substances deals with trace element deficiencies which can have serious problems for human health. Some rocks and soils are ...
This Atlas presents a state-of-the-art review of VATS and robotic approaches to managing lung and esophageal cancers. It discusses cancer staging, physiological evaluation of patients, and patient selection for minimally invasive surgery. The atlas offers detailed descriptions of individual operations accompanied by anatomic drawings, intraoperative images, and 3-dimensional anatomic reconstructions. Written by recognized experts in the field, it provides readers with an unparalleled resource for advancing their skills in managing these cancers. It is a valuable reference work for thoracic surgeons in training as well as in practice who want to pursue minimally invasive surgery. It is unique in offering fully illustrated, step-by-step descriptions of the operative procedures.
A carpenter and builder by trade, Paddy Doherty was strongly active in the Civil Rights agitation of the late 1960s and early 1970s and was on occasion a victim of police brutality. A radical and trade unionist, this is his story as he gives an account of his life in the city of Derry.

The last ten years have seen the publication of a vast amount of data regarding cellular resistance to drugs in cancer cells. Recent studies have demonstrated that drug resistance assays appear to be predictive of clinical response and suggest that clinicians should now be considering the potential applications of these assays in the treatment of patients with hematological neoplasms. This collection of papers from the International Symposium on the Clinical Value of Drug Resistance Assays in Leukemia and Lymphoma, Amsterdam, 1992, provides a state-of-the-art discussion on drug resistance assays and their role in the design and individualization of treatment protocols.
