Bob Marley left an indelible mark on modern music, both as a reggae
pioneer and as an enduring cultural icon. "Catch a Fire", now a
classic of rock biography, delves into the life of the leader of a
musical, spiritual, and political explosion that continues today.
Under the supervision of the author's widow and with the
collaboration of a Marley expert, this fourth edition contains a
wealth of new material, including many revisions made by the author
before his untimely death. An appendix to the new edition
chronicles Marley's legacy in recent years, as well as the ongoing
controversy over the possibility that Marley's remains might be
exhumed from Nine Mile, Jamaica, and reburied in Addis Ababa,
Ethiopia, where hundreds of Rastafarians live. The new edition also
contains an expanded discography and is factually updated
throughout.

Winner of a 2009 Outstanding Academic Title (OAT) award Trees
continue to maintain a unique significance in the social,
ecological and economic systems of the world - as large, long-lived
perennials covering 30% of land on Earth; their very nature
dictates their importance. An understanding of forest genetics is
essential for providing insight into the evolution, conservation,
management and sustainability of both natural and managed forests.
Providing a comprehensive introduction to the principles of
genetics as important to forest trees, this text integrates the
varied sub-disciplines of genetics and their applications in gene
conservation, tree improvement and biotechnology. Topics discussed
include genetic variation in natural forest trees, the application
of genetics in tree improvement and breeding programs, and genomic
sciences and molecular technologies.

Adrain Chesser and ritualist Timothy White Eagle traveled
throughout western US with a loose band of comrades, practicing a
hunter-gatherer way of life. A lyrical portrait of a contemporary
nomadic existence, The Return is "a call to arms to detach from
destructive modernity."—Hyperallergic Adrain Chesser is largely
self-taught and has refined his practice through a mentor/protege
relationship with Rosalind Solomon and later Debbie Fleming
Caffery. He completed a Santa Fe Art Institute residency in April
2005. He has been featured on TEDx Vienna and has exhibited in
Austria, Louisiana, Missouri, NYC, Pennsylvania, Washington and
many more. Collections of Chesser’s work can be found at The
Museum Fine Arts (Houston), Norton Museum of Art, Portland Museum
of Fine Art and Vincent Price Collection At East Los Angeles
College. Timothy White Eagle, born in Tucson AZ, his mother was
Apache from White Mountain. He was given up for adoption and raised
by a working class white family in Washington state. Graduated from
Univ. of Utah with a BFA in Theater. He spent his 20's exploring
performance based art. He has worked extensively in the past two
decades exploring Native American, Pagan and other earth based
Spiritual practices. He began a mentor/protege relationship with
Shoshone Elder Clyde Hall in 1995. Around that same time he began
helping to craft personal and community rituals within his
Spiritual circles. In 2006 he began collaborating with photographer
Adrain Chesser. Their work together has been displayed and
published nationally and internationally. In 2014 he and Adrain
released their book, "the Return". Timothy continues to foster
relationships with artists seeking to create objects and
performances which contain the convenience of Spirit. He dances at
a unique cross roads between art and ritual.
Termites are believed to be the oldest eusocial insects and their
morpho-physiologically distinct castes are called reproductives,
workers, soldiers and immature forms. Termites are called
xylophages or wood-decaying insects but can also feed on a variety
of organic materials, including grasses, litter, humus, and
components of the soil, such as hydrolysable peptides and
polyphenolic compounds. These specialised feeding habits of
termites are linked to their digestive apparatus and allow them to
act as primary consumers and decomposers (herbivores and
detritivores). In this book, chapter one discusses the connections
between digestive processes of termites and their feeding habits
and ecological role. In chapter two, the functional morphology of
the digestive tube of ten species belonging to seven genera of
neotropical Termitinae is analysed, with the aim of characterising
and comparing the configuration of individuals from different
castes. The final chapter in this book discusses the physical
phenomenon which causes the absence of mites at high altitudes in
Europe. The aim of studies conducted in chapter three, is to
systematically review the relationship between allergen exposure in
Europe and altitude-related characteristics.
