The Hybrids


Book Description

All three books in The Hybrids series. Her Ancient Hybrid Brolach, a hybrid—half vampire and half werewolf—is a true immortal who can never die. After two centuries of sleep, he’s awakened by his unknowing mate. As Brolach learns his new world and attempts to woo the woman meant for him, his dangerous past comes back and threatens to destroy it all. Falling For a Hybrid Rikki is more than capable of handling moving all by herself. Having a strong hunk help with the heavy lifting was just an added bonus. Torger’s interest in her is a sign his vampire side considered her a mate. Once he had her scent in his nose, his werewolf one agreed. To Win a Hybrid Kaisa has a rule about dating male humans. She doesn’t. Then Devin comes into her life and makes her long for things she knows she’s better off not feeling. She tries her damnedest to push him away, but no matter what she does, he won’t let her.

Nanohybrid Materials for Treatment of Textiles Dyes


Book Description

This book covers the various aspects of nanohybrid materials and its composites for their application in treatment of toxic textiles dyes for cleaning the environment especially water and wastewater. The book first looks into the various preparation and characterization techniques for nanohybrid materials. The replacement of other conventional materials with highly efficient (high surface area, pore size, and chemical and mechanical strength) nanohybrid materials and their application in the field of environmental purification through treatment of textile dyes is highlighted in the later part of the book. The book caters to students, researchers, and scientists who are working in the field of wastewater treatment for incorporating novel materials to remove toxic textile dyes from contaminated wastewater.




The Ecology of Malaria Vectors


Book Description

This practical book covers all aspects of the biology of malaria vectors, with notes on the vectors of dengue. It is the first work in this field to concentrate on mosquitoes, rather than covering all disease vectors. Authored by renowned field entomologist Jacques Derek Charlwood, it disseminates his vast experience working on mosquito biology, ecology and the evaluation of new vector control tools across five continents over the past 40 years. Covering all aspects from classification and systematics, population dynamics, vector control, to surveillance and sampling, epidemics, and a selection of case histories, the book also considers genetics and resistance, Aedes biology, and malaria and dengue models. It is designed to fill the gap between very specialized texts and undergraduate books on general disease vectors, and is ideal as a textbook for postgraduate courses in entomology and mosquito vectors of disease.




Chimeras, Hybrids, and Interspecies Research


Book Description

In his 2006 State of the Union speech, President George W. Bush asked the U.S. Congress to prohibit the "most egregious abuses of medical research," such as the "creation of animal–human hybrids." The president's message echoed that of a 2004 report by the President's Council on Bioethics, which recommended that hybrid human–animal embryos be banned by Congress. Discussions of early interspecies research, in which cells or DNA are interchanged between humans and nonhumans at early stages of development, can often devolve into sweeping statements, colorful imagery, and confusing policy. Although today's policy advisory groups are becoming more informed, debate is still limited by the interchangeable use of terms such as chimeras and hybrids, a tendency to treat all forms of interspecies alike, the failure to distinguish between laboratory research and procreation, and not enough serious policy justification. Andrea Bonnicksen seeks to understand reasons behind support of and disdain for interspecies research in such areas as chimerism, hybridization, interspecies nuclear transfer, cross-species embryo transfer, and transgenics. She highlights two claims critics make against early interspecies studies: that the research will violate human dignity and that it can lead to procreation. Are these claims sufficient to justify restrictive policy? Bonnicksen carefully illustrates the challenges of making policy for sensitive and often sensationalized research—research that touches deep-seated values and that probes the boundary between human and nonhuman animals.




Biogeography


Book Description

Through nine successful editions, and for over 45 years, Biogeography: An Ecological and Evolutionary Approach has provided a thorough and comprehensive exploration of the varied scientific disciplines and research that are essential to understanding the subject. The text, noted for its clear and engaging style of writing, has been praised for its solid background in historical biogeography and basic biology, that is enhanced and illuminated by discussions of current research. This new edition incorporates the exciting changes of the recent years and presents a thoughtful exploration of the research and controversies that have transformed our understanding of the biogeography of the world. New themes and topics in this tenth edition include: Next generation genetic technologies and their use in historical biogeography, phylogeography and population genomics Biogeographical databases and biodiversity information systems, which are becoming increasingly important for biogeographical research An introduction to functional biogeography and its applications to community assembly, diversity gradients and the analysis of ecosystem functioning Updated case studies focusing on island biogeography, using the latest phylogenetic studies Biogeography: An Ecological and Evolutionary Approach reveals how the patterns of life that we see today have been created by the two great Engines of the Planet: the Geological Engine, plate tectonics, which alters the conditions of life on the planet, and the Biological Engine, evolution, which responds to these changes by creating new forms and patterns of life.
