Man-made climate change poses a new crisis: how do we feed 10 billion people in a climate hostile to food security? This book explores the threat to our “daily bread” and argues that we are not without hope, offering solutions that can lead to a better future for humankind.
This book is a synthesis of agrochemical management practices for sustainable plant protection. It covers pesticides, growth regulators, post-harvest chemicals, and newer molecules, discussing their chemistry, efficacy, environmental fate, and new methods of pesticide analysis.
Agroforestry as a Nature-Based Solution
This groundbreaking book offers a practical roadmap to sustainable development through agroforestry—an innovative system that integrates trees, crops, and livestock. It shows how to enhance productivity, restore lands, sequester carbon, and build resilience to climate change.
AI Applications in Agriculture
This book explores how generative AI can revolutionize agriculture to tackle food security and sustainability. It bridges the gap between AI and farming with practical case studies and strategies for farmers, policymakers, and technologists to build a more robust future.
Explore aluminum nanocomposites produced by powder metallurgy for bulk and electron beam treatment for surfaces. This book covers nanoparticle roles in strengthening and microstructure, and includes structure formation simulations using MAGMASOFT®.
An Analysis of the Research on Sugarcane Yellow Leaf
For 30 years, sugarcane yellow leaf (SYL) has been known as a viral disease. After analyzing decades of confusing and contradictory research, the author argues it is a physiological syndrome. This book aims to disentangle the issue and show the truth behind the condition.
An Encyclopedia of the Applications of Nanotechnology
A groundbreaking guide to sustainable agriculture using nanomaterials from bio-wastes. Blending theory with practical protocols, it offers eco-friendly and economically viable solutions for modern farming challenges. Essential for students and researchers.
This book provides an update on critical areas of microbiology affecting our health. It covers the antibacterial activities of onions, bacterial toxins, new ways to fight infections like pyroptosis, and new possibilities to overcome antibiotic resistance.
An Introduction to Roundworms
Discover roundworms: the Earth’s most pervasive yet little-known animals. This book reveals their impact on our health, agriculture, and ecosystems, and their vital role in space research, environmental monitoring, and pest control. Features interviews with renowned scientists.
This book shows how molecular biology reduces life to programs (genes) directing machinery (proteins). This approach is crucial to solving medical and agricultural problems for the future of humanity and will appeal to anyone wanting to understand “what is life?”.
This book provides knowledge on fatal diseases caused by viruses and the herbal treatments used for them. As viruses challenge mankind, recently seen during the COVID-19 pandemic, this book focuses on herbs with anti-viral effects and their mechanisms of action for researchers.
Anatomy and Evolution of the Giraffe
Explore the legendary fossil beds of Samos, where ancient myths explained the bones of giant mammals. This book uncovers the island’s paleontological history, compares the anatomy of the giraffe, okapi, and extinct Samotherium, and maps the geology of these famed bone quarries.
Animal Space Use, Second Edition
Animal space use is complex. Memory and multi-scaled space use present deep challenges for biophysical modelling. This book confronts these issues, presenting novel models, a critical evaluation of existing concepts, and theoretical proposals to resolve present challenges.
Journey into the fascinating world of nanoparticles, microscopic wonders making giant strides in medicine, electronics, and environmental science. This book delves into how these tiny yet powerful particles behave differently, unlocking a future of endless possibilities.
This book studies arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), a plant biostimulant key for future sustainable agriculture. AMF form symbiotic relations with plants, enhancing nutrient intake, boosting immunity against stress, and improving crop productivity.
This book, by the world’s best experts, covers the emerging field of membrane atg8ylation. Atg8ylation is to membranes what ubiquitylation is to proteins: a homeostatic process that guards and remodels them. Its downstream functions in health and disease remain to be defined.
Bacteriophages are powerful tools in genetic medicine. This book explores their use to create targeted gene delivery systems, vaccines, and immunotherapeutics, highlighting phage-based platforms as cost-effective, scalable alternatives to traditional viral vectors.
Basic Biology for Born Engineers
While the laws of physics rely on calculus, this approach fails for biology. Living things are not continuous; they are discrete and amazingly exact. This book presents a novel view of biology as the science of ‘living mosaics’, made of discrete, yet interacting, ‘tiles’.
This guide introduces medical parasitology, covering human parasites, their epidemiology, control, and animal vectors. It features exercises, case histories, tables, a glossary, and semi-diagrammatic identification keys for students, researchers, and physicians.
Basics of Animal Communication
This short, systematic introduction to animal communication blends natural sciences and humanities in a multidisciplinary approach. A useful pedagogical tool for students and teachers, it is written in a clear, engaging style with a glossary and rich bibliography.
