Mosses are a major component of the vegetation in ice-free coastal
regions of Antarctica. They play an important role in the
colonisation of ice-free terrain, accumulation of organic matter,
release of organic exudates, and also provide a food and habitat
resource for invertebrates. They serve as model organisms for
physiological experiments designed to elucidate problems of plant
cold tolerance and survival mechanisms and for monitoring
biological responses to climate change. This Flora provides the
first comprehensive description, with keys, of all known species
and varieties of moss in the Antarctic biome. It has involved
microscopic examination of around 10,000 specimens from Antarctica
and, for comparison, from other continents. All species are
illustrated by detailed line drawings, alongside information about
their reproductive status, ecology, and distribution. This is an
invaluable resource for bryologists worldwide, as well as to
Antarctic botanists and other terrestrial biologists.
Undressing the N-word depicts the state of sociological views
regarding questions that have been on people's minds for years but
have been considered too sensitive to talk about openly. Among
these types of taboo-type discussions is one that analyzes the
systemic psychological warfare and psychosocial treatment of one
group over another. The systemic subjects the oppressed group to
seeing, through a controlled national media, only the worst in
themselves. Undressing the N-word reveals and ties together how
such socially-engineered behavior brings about and correlates to
crime, unemployment, welfare, child neglect, drugs, and poverty;
further, the text brings to light what policy can-and cannot-do to
compensate for differences in social stratification and economic
disparity. Brilliantly argued and meticulously presented,
Undressing the N-word is the essential first step in coming to
grips with the nation's social problems.
