This book highlights the latest discoveries about the nitrogen
cycle in the soil. It introduces the concept of nitrogen fixation
and covers important aspects of nitrogen in soil and ecology such
as its distribution and occurrence, soil microflora and fauna and
their role in N-fixation. The importance of plant growth-promoting
microbes for a sustainable agriculture, e.g. arbuscular mycorrhizae
in N-fixation, is discussed as well as perspectives of
metagenomics, microbe-plant signal transduction in N-ecology and
related aspects. This book enables the reader to bridge the main
gaps in knowledge and carefully presents perspectives on the
ecology of biotransformations of nitrogen in soil.

A critical examination of the engaging voice and multiple stories
of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on war, feminism, art, ideology, hair,
complex human identities and the challenges of multicultural
existence. Easily the leading and most engaging voice of her era
and generation, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has bridged gaps and
introduced new motifs and narrative styles which have energized
contemporary African fiction since her first novel, Purple Hibiscus
(2003). With Half of a Yellow Sun (2007) and The Thing Around Your
Neck - Short Stories (2009), she established herself as a
preeminent story-teller. Americanah (2013), with
ingeniouscraftsmanship addresses the sensitive themes of passionate
love, independence, freedom and moral responsibility with
extravagant and versatile narrative innovations. Through her
writings, she has made herself relevant topeople of all ages -
across racial and linguistic boundaries. Her talks, blogs, musings
on social media, essays and commentaries, workshop-mentoring for
budding young writers, lecture circuit discourses, all enrich her
imaginativecreativity as they expand and define her mission as a
writer. "We Should All be Feminists" she proclaimed in an essay,
giving feminism a "tweak and twist" and suggesting new outlooks in
literary theory. Her contributionsto African, Diasporic and World
literatures deserve serious analyses, commentaries and
interpretations, and this Companion to her work critically examines
her creative outputs from her art and ideology, from feminism to
war, to matters of myth and perception, and the challenges of
multicultural existence and complex human identities.
