Low-Oxygen Stress in Plants
During the last ten years, knowledge about the multitude of adaptive responses of plants to low oxygen stress has grown immensely. The oxygen sensor mechanism has been discovered, the knowledge about the interaction network of gene expression is expanding and metabolic adaptations have been described in detail. Furthermore, morphological changes were investigated and the regulative mechanisms triggered by plant hormones or reactive oxygen species have been revealed. This book provides a broad overview of all these aspects of low oxygen stress in plants. It integrates knowledge from different disciplines such as molecular biology, biochemistry, ecophysiology and agricultural / horticultural sciences to comprehensively describe how plants cope with low oxygen stress and discuss its ecological and agronomical consequences. This book is written for plant scientists, biochemists and scientists in agriculture and ecophysiology.
Malcom's Measure
Do you remember the emotions you experienced the first time falling in love? You probably could think of nothing else, as nothing else mattered to you. How about loneliness? Anyone willing to admit, you felt a desire to spend one's life with another? What kind of foolish efforts arose from these emotions? If you are two out of two, I believe the third factor for reading Malcom's Measure will make you open the pages to read episodes of up and down experiences of what Malcom experiences. If you, thirdly, are interested in adventure and historical fiction you definitely have the right book in your hand! Read all about Malcom's Measure. See where his emotions will have coincided with yours.
The Blank Slate
In this title, Steven Pinker makes explicit the argument which has been a backdrop to his previous books and many other popular science titles. He argues that much of our social commentary, conventional wisdom, and academic orthodoxy is wrongly rooted in the doctrines of the noble savage (civilisation is the source of human corruption) and the blank slate (the mind has no innate structure; all thoughts and feelings seep into our heads from surrounding culture). He explores the impact of these notions on our attitudes to sexuality, ideology, political correctness and the arts, and insists that we need to be more honest about human nature.
Roots
The root is the organ that functions as the interface between the plant and the earth environment. Many human management practices involving crops, forests and natural vegetation also affect plant growth through the soil and roots. Understanding the morphology and function of roots from the cellular level to the level of the whole root system is required for both plant production and environmental protection. This book is at the forefront of plant root science (rhizology), catering to professional plant scientists and graduate students. It covers root development, stress physiology, ecology, and associations with microorganisms. The chapters are selected papers originally presented at the 6th Symposium of the International Society of Root Research, where plant biologists, ecologists, soil microbiologists, crop scientists, forestry scientists, and environmental scientists, among others, gathered to discuss current research results and to establish rhizology as a newly integrated research area.

Poetics of Loss
With the removal of death from the public sphere, mourning has become a private matter. At the same time, particularly in poetry, the trend is reversed. An intensely elegiac quality and a focus on absence, death, and loss can be observed in contemporary Anglophone poetry. This study examines the poetry of Andrew Motion in the context of the contemporary elegy, a genre which is at a crossroads between the anti-consolatory refusal to mourn, the inability to move past grief, and the strong wish for redemption from grief. Motion's poetry, which mainly deals with preemptive attempts to cope with loss, can be seen as a typical example for the contemporary melancholy mood in poetry.

The Naked Truth
Mike Deegan is an ex-hockey player and former New York Ranger who set as many season records for time in the penalty box as he did for his slap shots. Mike is trying to find himself after retiring reluctantly from the game he loves. He has a great girlfriend, relative financial security, and great friends, but no direction. Then, an old childhood friend, Mickey Espinoza tracks him down and askes for his help. Mike has alway loved Mickey. And they are especially close since, as children, they both witnessed the murder of her brother, Mike's best friend, by a punk on a playground. The problem is that Mickey spells trouble. Trouble with a capital T. Trouble that comes with her choice of career,...
