Glutathione is a thiol-containing tripeptide, which appears to be present in nearly all living organisms and which is involved in many important metabolic and physiological processes. The present volume focuses on the biological significance of glutathione in plants. The biochemistry and the metabolism of glutathione are reviewed, and its role in sulphur and selenium metabolism in plants is discussed. The significance of glutathione and of glutathione-related enzymes in the adaptation to natural stress, heavy metals, xenobiotics, air pollution, and in plant-pathogen and plant-animal interactions are evaluated. The main aim of this second volume in the series Plant Ecophysiology is to raise the interest of advanced students and junior researchers in the role of glutathione in plants and to supply basic and comprehensive information for scientists already working on related topics.

When you can't find happiness at home, where can you go? Beverly Hills Diary: A Journey Through The Mind Of A Boy is the story of Julian, a boy growing up in Beverly Hills in the 60s. Growing up in a dysfunctional home, Julian's life is far from the idealized Beverly Hills perfection portrayed in the media. His only comfort comes from his three closest friends - the Beverly Hills version of a street gang - but he craves a love outside of his circle of friends. As a young child fed up with his life, Julian runs away from home to seek relief from his day-to-day anguish. While stowing away on a cargo train, young Julian befriends a drifter, but finds that this wanderer cannot offer the stability he craves. After returning home, teenage Julian is shipped off to a remote island reform school - could this be an even worse hardship than remaining at home? Will Julian ever return home to find the love he longs for? Or will he remain a vagabond, forever searching for something better?
