This book complies latest advancement in the field of environmental biotechnology. It focuses on topics that comprises industrial, environment and agricultural related issues to microbiological studies and exhibits correlation between biological world and dependence of humans on it. It is designed into three sections covering the role of environmental biotechnology in industry, environmental remediation, and agriculture. Ranging from micro-scale studies to macro, it covers up a huge domain of environmental biotechnology. Overall the book portrays the importance of modern biotechnology technologies in solving the problems in modern day life. The book is a ready reference for practicing students, researchers of biotechnology, environmental engineering, chemical engineering and other allied fields likewise.

First published in 1999. The purpose of this qualitative study is to examine the identity development process for Latino gay men. The research focuses on the perceptions of a sample of ten gay men and their process of defining themselves as gay. This study, however, is not only about the men in this study, it is also about the social context in which they have found themselves. It is about the social processes that transpire between Latino gay men and their social context of firmly held Latino family and religious cultural values.

This book surveys the cultural, literary, and cinematic impact of white-authored films and imaginative literature on American society from Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin to Kathryn Stockett's Th e Hel p .

Have you ever been lost, really lost?Daniel Garcia answers this question in Marines Don't Cry by telling his stories of death to life, deep sorrow to joy, darkness to life and freedom in Christ. Daniel Garcia and Jacqueline C. Garcia depict Daniel's dramatic highs and emotionally painful lows. They do not pull punches, nor do they sugar coat his experiences. Marines Don't Cry recounts his early life in Spanish Harlem, which makes his journey of walking more than 52 million steps on six continents for children and world peace such an incredible story. It conveys Daniel's conversion from drugs and the fast lane to a man consumed with knowing and serving God at all costs. Marines Don't Cry describes encounters with world figures, such as Pope John ll, U.S. presidents, kings and queens, heads of states and well-known personalities. Most of all, it is about the love of God, the transformational power of that love, and how Danny has made it his life's work to love his neighbor, to love himself, and to spread hope. Read on to discover: How do you walk around the world with no money?

Maria Sala introduced experimental and field-based studies on soil and fluvial processes in Spain during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Research on this broad topic has grown remarkably worldwide since then. This title shows some of these advances and documents the latest research, although with a particularity: it gives special treatment to research on Mediterranean climate regions, an ever-present issue in Maria Sala's research career. It contains the latest research on slope and river processes with a special emphasis on rivers and catchments with a Mediterranean climate. Papers cover a gamut of topics describing research and applied studies, mainly in Spain, but also in Israel, the USA, Canada, the UK and New Zealand.

The book examines natural and anthropogenic processes operating in drainage basins and includes coverage of current experimental and fieldwork investigations on soil erosion, river and catchment hydrology, suspended sediment transport and bedload dynamics in gravel-bed rivers, and present-day diagnosis and future key-paths for catchment and river management.
* Examines the natural and anthropogenic processes operating in drainage basins and river channels, and covers current investigations on Process Geomorphology and Catchment Hydrology, including management issues
* Topics covered include soil erosion, catchment hydrology, suspended sediment transport, bedload dynamics in gravel-bed rivers, and sediment yield
* Emphasis is on the Mediterranean region

The smoke and ashes had cleared, but still the fog of the undead war lingered on. Since Yoon's death Sai had carried on, leading the military arm of the temple fortress Wat Tatsunupi in a never ending struggle for survival. Searching for reason, he entered the temple and stumbled upon the records the monks had filed away. There in the depths of pages are interviews, stories of those had lived and fought in his community since the beginning. The city spirals out of control as one last air assault into the city takes place. The countryside echoes with the bombardment at major choke points where the dead tsunami sweeps across the streets. Families are torn apart, friends pushed to the limits. The records go on and on but before Sai can continue reading, he finds himself airborne once again heading towards the dark unknown. Now all that stands between life and death is the helicopter fleet known as DEAD AIR.

On leave from the war, U.S. Army helicopter pilot CW3 Sai thought he would finally get a good night's sleep without fear of attack. But his date with a beautiful Thai actress was interrupted - by an attack from the dead. In a matter of minutes, Sai was running with Yoon as the city of Bangkok tore itself apart. With helicopters flying overhead, F-16s screaming above, and tanks rolling through the streets, Sai and Yoon escape to a temple that becomes the living's last outpost in Asia. But hordes of the dead have gathered outside, trying to claw their way through the temple walls. Now all that stands between life and gruesome death is the helicopter fleet known as "Dead Air."

This interdisciplinary collection examines the shaping of local sexual cultures in the Asian Pacific region in order to move beyond definitions and understandings of sexuality that rely on Western assumptions. The diverse studies in "AsiaPacifiQueer" demonstrate convincingly that in the realm of sexualities, globalization results in creative and cultural admixture rather than a unilateral imposition of the western values and forms of sexual culture. These essays range across the Pacific Rim and encompass a variety of forms of social, cultural, and personal expression, examining sexuality through music, cinema, the media, shifts in popular rhetoric, comics and magazines, and historical studies. By investigating complex processes of localization, interregional borrowing, and hybridization, the contributors underscore the mutual transformation of gender and sexuality in both Asian Pacific and Western cultures.
