| | | | Bricklin on TechnologyIn a world that divides us, technology creates connection. Cell phones, e-mail, digital cameras, personal Web sites—they all join us, however tenuously, to what we value. Is connectivity what we’re willing to pay for? Should technology be our servant or a tool that helps us do other things? What can we really learn from Napster? What... |

Green Planet: How Plants Keep the Earth Alive
Plants are not just a pretty part of the landscape; they keep the entire planet, with all of its human and nonhuman inhabitants, alive. Stanley Rice documents the many ways in which plants do this by making oxygen, regulating the greenhouse effect, controlling floods, and producing all the food in the world. Plants also create natural... | | Control of Discrete-Event Systems: Automata and Petri Net Perspectives
Control of Discrete-event Systems provides a survey of the most important topics in the discrete-event systems theory with particular focus on finite-state automata, Petri nets and max-plus algebra. Coverage ranges from introductory material on the basic notions and definitions of discrete-event systems to more recent results. Special... | | Iron Metabolism: From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Consequences
Iron is of fundamental importance to the growth, development and well-being of almost all living organisms. Multiple biological systems have evolved for the uptake, utilisation, storage, and homeostasis of iron in microbes, plants and mammals. Both iron deficiency and iron overload are found extensively in humans; the intimate links between... |

Ethnobiology
The single comprehensive treatment of the field, from the leading members of the Society of Ethnobiology
The field of ethnobiology—the study of relationships between particular ethnic groups and their native plants and animals—has grown very rapidly in recent years, spawning numerous subfields. Ethnobiological research... | | Bioassay Techniques for Drug Development
The so-called “green wave”, triggered by a growing ecological awareness, has resulted in
an increased interest in herbal formulations throughout the world, particularly in the last
decade. The consumption of medicinal plants has almost doubled in the West during that
period. The efficacy of a number of herbal formulations... | | Quantum Mechanics of Molecular Structures
The world we live in is filled with molecules. Starting with oxygen and nitrogen
in the atmosphere, water, carbon dioxide, and ammonia are all molecules. Furthermore,
plants and animals are all composed of molecules. In the field of chemistry,
which is regarded as science for molecules, it has been one of the most important
and... |
