This textbook is clearly structured with fourteen richly
illustrated chapters and practical examples for easy understanding
and direct implementation. The methods and findings developed in
the authors' group are presented in detailed, revised chapters.
Readers will find valuable updates on the molecular basis of
biotechnological processes, secondary metabolite production and
genetic engineering. In addition, the basic principles of important
biotechnologies, as well as examples of specially designed crops
that deliver improved productivity under stress conditions, are
presented. This second edition sets the direction for future
research on the basic aspects of plant tissue culture and its
applications in the fields of secondary metabolite production and
genetic engineering. It provides both general and specific
information for students, teachers, academic researchers and
industrial teams who are interested in new developments in plant
tissue culture and its applications.
As a doctor of anthropology, archaeology, and linguistics, Eva has
always been aware of the difference between theory and practical
knowledge. As she departs for a series of research treks to the far
corners of the earth, Eva soon finds herself facing several
intriguing, ancient mysteries that will test her skills and teach
her unforgettable lessons about the power of the universe. Eva
begins the first of seven treks in Palenque, Mexico, where, with
the assistance of Doctoro Ruz, she soon learns the truth of the
glyphs of Pakal. Next, she travels to Olduvai, Africa, where she is
guided by the Maasai Chief Kibo as she seeks the source of mankind,
the Garden of Eden. From there she journeys to Hokkaido, Japan;
Santorini, Greece; Rapa Nui, Easter Island, Polynesia; and finally
to Columbia, South America, where a Kogi Shaman summons Eva and
provides evidence of ancient aliens and a dire warning for all
mankind. In her search of the origins of mankind among the
conflicts of interpretation, source validity, religious debate, and
discrimination, Eva is guided by ancient wisdom as she uncovers a
series of perplexing mysteries that reveal the devastating effects
of past mistakes.
Collects over 150 years of key moments in the visual history of the
Southern United States, with over two hundred photographs taken
from 1850 to present The South is perhaps the most mythologized
region in the United States and also one of the most depicted.
Since the dawn of photography in the nineteenth century,
photographers have articulated the distinct and evolving character
of the South’s people, landscape, and culture and reckoned with
its fraught history. Indeed, many of the urgent questions we face
today about what defines the American experience—from racism,
poverty, and the legacy of slavery to environmental disaster,
immigration, and the changes wrought by a modern, global
economy—appear as key themes in the photography of the South. The
visual history of the South is inextricably intertwined with the
history of photography and also the history of America, and is
therefore an apt lens through which to examine American identity. A
Long Arc: Photography and the American South accompanies a major
exhibition at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, with more than one
hundred photographers represented, including Walker Evans, Robert
Frank, Gordon Parks, William Eggleston, Sally Mann, Carrie Mae
Weems, Dawoud Bey, Alec Soth, and An-My Lê. Insightful texts by
Imani Perry, Sarah Kennel, Makeda Best, and Rahim Fortune, among
others, illuminate this broad survey of photographs of the Southern
United States as an essential American story. Copublished by

This handbook offers a comprehensive analysis of peacebuilding in
ethnic conflicts, with attention to theory, peacebuilder roles,
making sense of the past and shaping the future, as well as case
studies and approaches. Comprising 28 chapters that present key
insights on peacebuilding in ethnic conflicts, the volume has
implications for teaching and training, as well as for practice and
policy. The handbook is divided into four thematic parts. Part 1
focuses on critical dimensions of ethnic conflicts, including root
causes, gender, external involvements, emancipatory peacebuilding,
hatred as a public health issue, environmental issues, American
nationalism, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Part 2
focuses on peacebuilders' roles, including Indigenous peacemaking,
nonviolent accompaniment, peace leadership in the military,
interreligious peacebuilders, local women, and young people. Part 3
addresses the past and shaping of the future, including a
discussion of public memory, heritage rights and monuments,
refugees, trauma and memory, aggregated trauma in the
African-American community, exhumations after genocide, and a
healing-centered approach to conflict. Part 4 presents case studies
on Sri Lanka's postwar reconciliation process, peacebuilding in
Mindanao, the transformative peace negotiation in Aceh and
Bougainville, external economic aid for peacebuilding in Northern
Ireland, Indigenous and local peacemaking, and a continuum of
peacebuilding focal points. The handbook offers perspectives on the
breadth and significance of peacebuilding work in ethnic conflicts
throughout the world. This volume will be of much interest to
students of peacebuilding, ethnic conflict, security studies, and
international relations.
The Billboard is about a fictional Black women's clinic in
Chicago's Englewood neighborhood on the South Side and its fight
with a local gadfly running for City Council who puts up a
provocative billboard: "Abortion is genocide. The most dangerous
place for a Black child is his mother's womb," spurring on the
clinic to fight back with their own provocative sign: "Black women
take care of their families by taking care of themselves. Abortion
is self-care. #Trust Black Women." The book also has a foreword and
afterword and Q&A with a founder of reproductive justice. As a
play and book, The Billboard is a cultural force that treats
abortion as more than pro-life or pro-choice.
