Chilean trees around the world
This book is a selection of sixty stories from around the world, encompassing some fifty Chilean trees species and over three hundred pictures. Each one of the stories confirm the knowledge and appreciation that may foreigners have of Chilean trees. It is a ten years research of the author and numerous Chilean ant international collaborators. Today the book can be enjoyed by specialists, as well as people with a simple curiosity in botanic. The stars are the Chilean trees, but the protagonists are also the places, the stories of how the trees were planted there and the people with which they coexist.
Árboles chilenos en el mundo
Este libro es una selección de sesenta historias y más de trescientas fotografías de árboles nativos de Chile que crecen alrededor del mundo. Es el resultado de hallazgos durante diez años de investigación del autor y la colaboración de numerosos expertos chilenos y extranjeros. El libro podrá disfrutarlo tanto el especialista como personas con simple curiosidad por la botánica. Los protagonistas son los árboles chilenos, pero igualmente relevantes son los lugares, las historias de cómo llegaron y las personas que conviven con ellos.
Understanding Obesity
Most people have some dissatisfaction or concern about body weight, fatness, or obesity, either personally or professionally. This book shows how the popular understanding of obesity is often at odds with scientific understandings, and how misunderstandings about people with obesity can further contribute to the problem. It describes, in an approachable way, interconnected debates about obesity in public policy, medicine and public health, and how media and social media engage people in everyday life in those debates. In chapters considering body fat and fatness, genetics, metabolism, food and eating, inequality, blame and stigma, and physical activity, this book brings separate domains of obesity research into the field of complexity. By doing so, it aids navigation through the minefield of misunderstandings about body weight, fatness, and obesity that exist today, after decades of mostly failed policies and interventions.
The Minimum Method
When it comes to looking and feeling your best, less really can be more. Discover how to maximize your sleeping, eating, exercising—even thinking and breathing—with minimum effort. The truth is most people don’t actually need grueling, extreme workouts or aggressively limited diets to lose weight and feel proud to flaunt their bodies in bathing suits. What they need is a plan that is focused on efficiency—the best results for the least amount of time and effort—and one that is actually designed to be maintained for more than 30 days. In The Minimum Method, by nutrition expert and celebrity fitness trainer Joey Thurman, you’ll learn a wealth of practical advice, simple nutrition t...
Carbohydrates in Food
This work offers comprehensive coverage of the chemical analysis, structure, functional properties and nutritional relevance of monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides used in food. It presents current information on the significance of carbohydrates in diet, and furnishes both chemical and biochemical methods for carbohydrate analysis.
Carbohydrate Chemistry
Carbohydrate Chemistry provides review coverage of all publications relevant to the chemistry of monosaccharides and oligosaccharides in a given year. The amount of research in this field appearing in the organic chemical literature is increasing because of the enhanced importance of the subject, especially in areas of medicinal chemistry and biology. In no part of the field is this more apparent than in the synthesis of oligosaccharides required by scientists working in glycobiology. Clycomedicinal chemistry and its reliance on carbohydrate synthesis is now very well established, for example, by the preparation of specific carbohydrate- based antigens, especially cancer-specific oligosaccha...
The Newborn Brain
The new edition of this respected work presents a comprehensive review of basic mechanisms of fetal and neonatal brain development.
Environment, Energy and Climate Change I
This volume offers a comprehensive overview of advanced research in the field of environmental green chemistry for air, soil and water pollutants, and presents emerging technologies on the chemical treatment of polluted sites and wastes. The 15 chapters, prepared by internationally respected experts, address the following topics: (1) monitoring of indoor and outdoor air pollutants; (2) atmospheric degradation processes and formation mechanisms of secondary pollutants; (3) the environmental assessment and impacts of soils polluted by heavy metals and hydrocarbons; (4) sustainable and emerging technologies for the chemical treatment of organic and animal wastes and wastewaters; (5) photocatalytic CO2 conversion methods for the mitigation of greenhouse effects; and (6) non-conventional methods in green chemistry synthesis. Lastly, the authors outline the future perspectives of each topic. Given its multidisciplinary approach, combining environmental analysis and engineering, the book offers a valuable resource for all researchers and students interested in environmental chemistry and engineering.
