Betrayal of Trust
Edward Slocum is the executive vice president of KemKor Pharmaceuticals in West Grey, Canada, where he grew up. A widower, Edward Slocum goes on a walk after a long day at the office on the two-year anniversary of his wife’s death. He feels tired and upset, reminiscing over the loss of his beloved Karen. During his walk, he passes Building 3C, soon to be used for Edward’s groundbreaking new filter, created to eliminate pharmaceutical waste byproducts—his obsession for the last fifteen years. He’s very surprised, however, to see men with machine guns at Building 3C. KemKor is up to something Edward isn’t aware of—something illegal. As his suspicions mount about his own employers, ...
Amexica
Between the interiors of the USA and Mexico lies a borderland: Amexica. A terrain astride the world’s busiest frontier, teeming with migrants, factory workers, narcos, tourists, heroines and heroes, ranchers and rogues. A border both porous and harsh, criss-crossed by a million people every day. A warzone, where a grotesque pastiche of the globalised economy plays out in a tragedy of unfathomable violence as drug cartels and state forces face off. Amexica is a journey through the cartels’ reach into the borderland’s daily life: through migrant camps, drug-smuggling ‘plazas’, rehab centres, sweatshop factories and the mass-murder of women. Updated with new material ten years on it paints an essential portrait of a country under siege - and testament to people who carry on regardless. ‘Previously, to understand the ruthlessness, ambition and impact of today's global criminals, you needed to read Roberto Saviano's Gomorrah and Misha Glenny's McMafia. Now, you also need to read Vulliamy's Amexica’ The Sunday Times
Father & Son
I have recorded in this book happenings and encounters in the first 33 years of my life. I am half expecting that they are, for the most part, of interest only to me, the curious members of my family, and friends, who are either nosy of what I had gone through, or just evoking memories of their own youthful past in 20th Century Philippines. These memories are mostly fragmented recollections of what I heard and saw when growing up in a small village, and while going to school and starting life, after the end of the 2nd World War and the start of Philippine independence. This book is about the unadorned simple life in a village of a newly independent country that was slowly emerging from a backward colonial past and its coming of age after the 2nd World War. At the people level, I have tried to narrate how the young typically responded to the demands of the outside world. Here you will meet family and friends, ordinary people, as well as some of the colorful characters in the 20th century Philippines I encountered from the sidelines of power.
Coyame a History of the American Settler
Coyame is the wide-ranging account of a small town in Mexico. The author provides readers with a panoramic view of history from the Mayans to the Villa revolutionaries and beyond. The history of the region is brought into stark detail with the inclusion of the tales, legends, and family histories of Coyames colorful residents. Morales presents the information with great care and passion; both historians and casual readers will benefit from the candor and whimsy that mark this unique contribution.
Cases on Communication Disorders in Culturally Diverse Populations
Communication disorders are impairments in the ability to receive, send, process, and comprehend hearing, language, and/or speech. While the number of culturally diverse populations is growing in the United States, speech-language pathologists and audiologists lack information on serving these culturally diverse populations appropriately and effectively. Cases on Communication Disorders in Culturally Diverse Populations is an essential research publication that provides culturally-competent hearing, language, and speech services and cases across age groups, communication disorders, and culturally diverse populations. These case studies offer a practical and detailed means for assisting professionals in providing culturally-appropriate speech, language, and hearing services. Highlighting various topics such as counseling, language learning, and genetics, this book is indispensable for speech-language pathologists, audiologists, counselors, administrators, academicians, researchers, practitioners, and students.
The Role of Gasotransmitters In the Amelioration of Arsenic Toxicity in Plants
The Role of Gasotransmitters In the Amelioration of Arsenic Toxicity in Plants: Biology and Biotechnology, in the Plant Gasotransmitter series, provides research on how gasotransmitters can reduce the stress faced by plants through arsenic contamination. With a strong focus on metabolic processes, the book presents the various pathways and mechanisms associated with gasotransmitters as part of arsenic amelioration. Initial chapters discuss the effects of arsenic on the plant genome and metabolome, as well as the mechanisms behind the uptake and translocation of arsenic in plants. The book then takes a deep dive into the role of gasotransmitters, highlighting plant physiological responses. This is an essential resource for students, researchers and agronomists interested in plant physiology, biochemistry and plant hormones. - Explains the physiological, biochemical and molecular aspects of how gasotransmitters can mitigate stress by arsenic in plants - Presents how arsenic is found in the environment, along with associated problems with arsenic contamination - Highlights the impact of food processing on minimizing arsenic and other potentially toxic elements in edible plants
Plant Life under Changing Environment
Plant Life under Changing Environment: Responses and Management presents the latest insights, reflecting the significant progress that has been made in understanding plant responses to various changing environmental impacts, as well as strategies for alleviating their adverse effects, including abiotic stresses. Growing from a focus on plants and their ability to respond, adapt, and survive, Plant Life under Changing Environment: Responses and Management addresses options for mitigating those responses to ensure maximum health and growth. Researchers and advanced students in environmental sciences, plant ecophysiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, nano-pollution climate change, and soil pollution will find this an important foundational resource. - Covers both responses and adaptation of plants to altered environmental states - Illustrates the current impact of climate change on plant productivity, along with mitigation strategies - Includes transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic and ionomic approaches
Fruit Crops
Fruit Crops: Diagnosis and Management of Nutrient Constraints is the first and only resource to holistically relate fruits as a nutritional source for human health to the state-of-the-art methodologies currently used to diagnose and manage nutritional constraints placed on those fruits. This book explores a variety of advanced management techniques, including open field hydroponic, fertigation/bio-fertigation, the use of nano-fertilizers, sensors-based nutrient management, climate- smart integrated soil fertility management, inoculation with microbial consortium, and endophytes backed up by ecophysiology of fruit crops. These intricate issues are effectively presented, including real-world applications and future insights. - Presents the latest research, including issues with commercial application - Details comprehensive insights into the diagnosis and management of nutrient constraints - Includes contributions by world renowned researchers, providing global perspectives and experience
Nutritional Quality Improvement in Plants
This book presents a detailed overview and critical evaluation of recent advances and remaining challenges in improving nutritional quality and/or avoiding the accumulation of undesirable substances in plants using a variety of strategies based on modern biological tools and techniques. Each review chapter provides an authoritative and insightful account of the various aspects of nutritional enhancement of plants. In the course of the last two decades, several food crops rich in macro- and micronutrients have been developed to improve health and protect a large section of the populace in developing countries from chronic diseases. Providing extensive information on these developments, this book offers a valuable resource for all researchers, students and industrialists working in agriculture, the plant sciences, agronomy, horticulture, biotechnology, food and nutrition, and the soil and environmental sciences.
