International Advances in Art Therapy Research and Practice
Art therapists worldwide are advancing socially just and culturally relevant practice. This book highlights innovative research and diverse practices transforming art therapy with new insights for therapists, counsellors, and professionals who use art.
This book explores the Mississippi River’s influence on the Northern Gulf of Mexico. This highly productive coastal region, home to the most extensive marsh communities in the US, is eroding and stressed by excess nutrients and the Macondo oil leak as remediation is problematic.
Kin Recognition in Protists and Other Microbes
This is the first volume on the genetics, evolution, and behavior of kin recognition in microbes. It covers how cells recognize kin and clones, the role of kinship in disease, and what microbial cooperation and cheating reveal about the origins of multicellularity.
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’.
What Is Life and What Is Consciousness
What is life? What is consciousness? This book tackles these age-old questions with a new concept: matter-related information. It demonstrates that information is an indispensable contributor to the organization and functionality of all living systems.
An in-depth analysis of three plant species and their allelopathic potential. This research uncovers how these plants can be sustainably used in agro-ecosystem management, offering ecological solutions for agriculture ideal for researchers, students, and practitioners.
Sustainable Agronomy
How do we feed a growing world without harming the ecosystem? This book explains sustainable strategies to manage modern agricultural problems, improve soil health, and protect crops with non-chemical approaches. A guide for anyone who cares about our food and our planet.
The first print edition of Global Entrepreneurship (GBioE) unites trusted insights from biotech industry professionals and academics. Explore emergent issues like AI in biotech, post-pandemic challenges, and Precision Medicine, plus in-depth interviews with top Biotech CEOs.
Herbal Drug Delivery Systems
The efficacy of herbal medications is often reduced by traditional delivery techniques. This book covers herbal extractions and advanced oral and transdermal drug delivery systems. It offers a one-stop source on the essentials and recent advances in this field.
Divine Soil
The gods of Ancient Greece are related to specific ancient lifeways and soils. This book details the soils at their temples as a basis for the lives of deities, from hunter-gatherers Apollo and Artemis to farmers Demeter and Dionysos, revealing a link between soil and soul.
Plant-parasitic nematodes cause drastic yield loss globally, and chemical controls are often toxic. This book explains an eco-friendly alternative: using humic acid for nematode control. It details successful research trials on banana and citrus nematodes and future prospects.
A clear, concise guide to food science, nutrition, processing, and preservation. This essential resource covers nutrients, their role in human metabolism, and food spoilage. For students and professionals, it promotes healthy eating and disease prevention.
To meet challenges in health, agriculture, and industry, knowledge of genetic engineering is indispensable. This volume coherently presents comprehensive information from recent studies on its principles and applications for students and researchers in the biological sciences.
Explore the transformative role of nanotechnology in pharmaceutical sciences. This definitive guide covers everything from nanomaterials to cutting-edge applications in drug delivery, vaccine technology, and theranostics, concluding with the future of precision medicine.
This book presents decades of global research on how sustainable soil development can enhance carbon storage—a key to climate mitigation, food security, and biodiversity. It highlights the vital importance of plant species selection and the risks of invasive species.
The Physics of Living Systems
Cells are smart. The penalty for failure is death. Constrained by the Laws of Physics, they turn what could be a molecular cacophony into a symphony without a conductor. Understanding this beautiful and awe-inspiring process is the goal of this book.
Studying the Mosquito
Featuring chapters by eminent researchers, this book explores novel mosquito control methods. It provides valuable insights into recent interdisciplinary concepts, from AI and ML to immunology, making it an asset for researchers, biologists, and medical personnel.
This validated finite element (FE) human head model predicts traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in vehicle collisions. With improved biofidelity, the model predicts injury types and severity, helping to better understand injury mechanisms and develop advanced restraint systems.
