Plant cell walls are complex, dynamic cellular structures
essential for plant growth, development, physiology and adaptation.
Plant Cell Walls provides an in depth and diverse view of the
microanatomy, biosynthesis and molecular physiology of these
cellular structures, both in the life of the plant and in their use
for bioproducts and biofuels.
Plant Cell Walls is a textbook for upper-level undergraduates and
graduate students, as well as a professional-level reference book.
Over 400 drawings, micrographs, and photographs provide visual
insight into the latest research, as well as the uses of plant cell
walls in everyday life, and their applications in biotechnology.
Illustrated panels concisely review research methods and tools; a
list of key terms is given at the end of each chapter; and
extensive references organized by concept headings provide readers
with guidance for entry into plant cell wall literature.
Cell wall material is of considerable importance to the biofuel,
food, timber, and pulp and paper industries as well as being a
major focus of research in plant growth and sustainability that are
of central interest in present day agriculture and biotechnology.
The production and use of plants for biofuel and bioproducts in a
time of need for responsible global carbon use requires a deep
understanding of the fundamental biology of plants and their cell
walls. Such an understanding will lead to improved plant processes
and materials, and help provide a sustainable resource for meeting
the future bioenergy and bioproduct needs of humankind.
Throughout the 17th century, large parts of Europe were depopulated
during wide-ranging and savage wars of religion and dynasty
involving all of the major powers. These included the Dutch-Spanish
wars of independence, The Thirty Years' War and the English Civil
Wars. This was the key period in the development of 'modern'
infantry tactics, incorporating the use of pole-arms and muskets
together, hence the popular expression 'pike and shot'. Although
cavalry participated in such conflicts, it was the infantry that
was the decisive arm. Such infantry tactics involved different
national schools on thought and practice, tested bloodily in great
battles.
Keith Roberts is a respected expert in this field, who draws on
extensive knowledge of original manuals of tactics to create a
revealing study of the period. This volume will be both attractive
to wargamers and worthy of serious academic attention.
To understand business and its political, cultural, and economic
context, it helps to view it historically, yet most business
histories look no further back than the nineteenth century. The
full sweep of business history actually begins much earlier, with
the initial cities of Mesopotamia. In the first book to describe
and explain these origins, Roberts depicts the society of ancient
traders and consumers, tracing the roots of modern business and
underscoring the relationship between early and modern business
practice. Roberts's narrative begins before business, which he
defines as selling to voluntary buyers at a profit. Before
business, he shows, the material conditions and concepts for the
pursuit of profit did not exist, even though trade and
manufacturing took place. The earliest business, he suggests, arose
with the long distance trade of early Mesopotamia, and expanded
into retail, manufacturing and finance in these command economies,
culminating in the Middle Eastern empires. (Part One) But it was
the largely independent rise of business, money, and markets in
classical Greece that produced business much as we know it.
Alexander the Great's conquests and the societies that his
successors created in their kingdoms brought a version of this
system to the old Middle Eastern empires, and beyond. (Part Two) At
Rome this entrepreneurial market system gained important new
features, including business corporations, public contracting, and
even shopping malls. The story concludes with the sharp decline of
business after the 3rd century CE. (Part Three) In each part,
Roberts portrays the major new types of business coming into
existence. He weaves these descriptions into a narrative of how the
prevailing political, economic, and social culture shaped the
nature and importance of business and the status, wealth, and
treatment of business people. Throughout, the discussion indicates
how much (and how little) business has changed, provides a clear
picture of what business actually is, presents a model for
understanding the social impact of business as a whole, and yields
stimulating insights for public policy today.

From the pundits to the polls, nearly everyone seems to agree that
US politics have rarely been more fractious, and calls for a return
to “civil discourse” abound. Yet it is also true that the
requirements of polite discourse effectively silence those who are
not in power, gaming the system against the disenfranchised. What,
then, should a democracy do? This book makes a case for
understanding civility in a different light. Examining the history
of the concept and its basis in communication and political theory,
William Keith and Robert Danisch present a clear, robust analysis
of civil discourse. Distinguishing it from politeness, they claim
that civil argument must be redirected from the goal of political
comity to that of building and maintaining relationships of minimal
respect in the public sphere. They also take into account how
civility enables discrimination, indicating conditions under which
uncivil resistance is called for. When viewed as a communication
practice for uniting people with differences and making them more
equal, civility is transformed from a preferable way of speaking
into an essential component of democratic life. Guarding against
uncritical endorsement of civility as well as skepticism, Keith and
Danisch show with rigor, nuance, and care that the practice of
civil communication is both paradoxical and sorely needed. Beyond
Civility is necessary reading for our times.
1588: Queen Elizabeth is felled by an assassin's bullet. Within the
week, the Spanish Armada had set sail, and its victory changed the
course of history. 1968: England is still dominated by the Church
of Rome. There are no telephones, no television, no nuclear power.
As Catholicism and the Inquisition tighten their grip, rebellion is
growing.

Full Colour Issue of "How to Find a Midwife and Doula in the
Pursuit of a More Natural Childbirth Experience" available in ebook
and paperback version
Contributing Authors: Keith Roberts, Kelly Burnett, Cathy Matthews,
McKenna Keys, Sean Hill, Elaine Petrone. In this book, you will
learn what a Midwife is, and what a Doula is-and more importantly,
what they can do for you, how they can support you, and how to
locate either or both to discuss your pursuit of a natural
childbirth. You will learn what to expect from a Midwife or Doula
during the prenatal, labor & delivery, and postpartum stages of
your pregnancy. The reason I wrote this book was because I wanted
to provide a way for pregnant individuals (or couples) who are
considering natural childbirth options, to be able locate a midwife
and / or doula more easily, and know what to expect during the
entire process (from the first interview to the postpartum stage)
before actually embarking on that search. I've included extremely
helpful sections for Dads-to-be and Partners.
What have you missed by keeping your prayer life on the back
burner? How many benefits keep escaping you due to lack of prayer?
More than that, what disasters might be headed your way because
prayer has been cut adrift in a sea of apathy? Is it really true
that God doesn't act until you ask... that He waits for you to
pray? And if God waits for us to pray, will our disappointing
failures be turned around by simply asking? This book will answer
those questions. And it will do two things for your prayer life:
First, it will motivate you to pray more and second it will teach
you how to pray more effectively, using Jesus' prayer life as the
template. Dr. Keith Roberts has conducted nearly one hundred Prayer
Enrichment Seminars in nineteen states and the Caribbean, as well
as speaking on prayer at many national Bible conferences. He often
writes about prayer, and helped organize a 24-hour prayer
counseling telephone ministry for the CrossView television program,
which generated two thousand calls per week. For several years he
has served as Dean of the CrossView College of Prayer, a distance
learning school designed to teach students all that the Bible has
to say about prayer. The College of Prayer makes its home at the
Calhoun Church of Christ in north Louisiana, where Keith has been
the Preaching Minister since 1981.
