Handbook of Research on Urban and Humanitarian Logistics
City logistics is one of the most popular fields of transportation sciences, dealing with sustainably supplying cities and at the same time reducing congestion and pollution related to goods transport in urban areas. Recently, humanitarian, emergency, and crises logistics has been a subject of increasing interest, often seen from an international viewpoint. However, some of the recent natural crises have shown the importance of resilience and reliability of the current urban logistics systems. The Handbook of Research on Urban and Humanitarian Logistics is a critical scholarly publication that addresses urban logistics and resilience, sustainable urban logistics, humanitarian logistics in urban areas both for crisis or long-term, and planning for resilient urban development. Featuring a broad range of topics that discuss the new and future trends in urban logistics and resilient cities, this publication is ideal for public planners; urban planners; company managers in logistics and transport; consulting agencies; regional, national, and international institutions and organizations; researchers; academicians; and students.
Lecciones introductorias al Derecho
El hecho de que actualmente nos encontremos insertos dentro de una gran reforma educativa universitaria, hace surgir la necesidad de adecuar los materiales docentes a sistemas de enseñanza distintos al tradicional y a los nuevos planes de estudio, lo cual se está traduciendo en la publicación de nuevas obras adaptadas a los nuevos enfoques. En esta línea se inscriben estas «Lecciones introductorias al Derecho», en las que se ha pretendido realizar una labor de síntesis, acercamiento y aprendizaje activo que recoja las cuestiones fundamentales o básicas que deben de conocer aquellos estudiantes que deseen obtener el título de Graduado en Derecho; pero no exclusivamente, pues también puede ser útil en otras titulaciones afines al mismo, dado que su formato es relativamente flexible para permitir fácilmente servir de guía a la hora de impartir docencia en las distintas disciplinas que estudian el fenómeno jurídico.

Wildlife in a Changing World
"Wildlife in a Changing World" presents an analysis of the 2008 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Beginning with an explanation of the IUCN Red List as a key conservation tool, it goes on to discuss the state of the world s species and provides the latest information on the patterns of species facing extinction in some of the most important ecosystems in the world, highlighting the reasons behind their declining status. Areas of focus in the report include: freshwater biodiversity, the status of the world s marine species, species susceptibility to climate change impacts, the Mediterranean biodiversity hot spot, and broadening the coverage of biodiversity assessments."
The Chemical Dialogue Between Plants and Beneficial Microorganisms
The Chemical Dialogue Between Plants and Beneficial Microorganisms provides foundational insights on plant beneficial microorganisms and their impact on the health and productivity of plants. Providing in-depth and recent updates about unexplored aspects of plant microbes interactions, the book includes the biological repertoire of arbuscular mycorrhizal association, molecular architecture of Rhizobium-plant symbiosis, and endophytes in transcriptional plasticity during host colonization by endophytes. The book also includes details about the mechanism of different plant beneficial microorganisms, how these differ, and their cross signaling. This book will be an important reference for researchers working on different plant beneficial microorganisms and their molecular arsenal. - Includes coverage of oxylipins?and sterols in inducing systemic responses - Explores the role of microbes in transcriptional plasticity of host plants - Highlights the biology of vegetative cells, N2-fixing vesicles, and microbial volatiles in plant growth

Fruit of the Drunken Tree
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Seven-year-old Chula lives a carefree life in her gated community in Bogotá, but the threat of kidnappings, car bombs, and assassinations hover just outside her walls, where the godlike drug lord Pablo Escobar reigns, capturing the attention of the nation. “Simultaneously propulsive and poetic, reminiscent of Isabel Allende...Listen to this new author’s voice—she has something powerful to say.” —Entertainment Weekly When her mother hires Petrona, a live-in-maid from the city’s guerrilla-occupied neighborhood, Chula makes it her mission to understand Petrona’s mysterious ways. Petrona is a young woman crumbling under the burden of providing for her family as the rip tide of first love pulls her in the opposite direction. As both girls’ families scramble to maintain stability amidst the rapidly escalating conflict, Petrona and Chula find themselves entangled in a web of secrecy. Inspired by the author's own life, Fruit of the Drunken Tree is a powerful testament to the impossible choices women are often forced to make in the face of violence and the unexpected connections that can blossom out of desperation.
