This unique book tells the stories behind sixteen aspects of London
bus operation over the past fifty years. All of the authors have
worked in some way for London buses and speak of their contribution
to the running of the network. Together the stories provide a
fascinating look at the behind the scenes work of running bus
services in the world's greatest city. Subjects include driver
training and driving, designing liveries for London, the voice of
bus announcements, the Tendered Bus Unit, Smart ticketing, bus
control, bus stops, low-floor buses, operating the Sightseeing
Tour, London buses and the Olympics, mapping London bus routes,
running Docklands Minibuses and the design and production of
destination blinds. All profits from this book go to the London Bus
Museum.
Microbiome Stimulants for Crops: Mechanisms and Applications
provides the latest developments in the real-world development and
application of these crop management alternatives in a
cost-effective, yield protective way. Sections address questions of
research, development and application, with insights into recent
legislative efforts in Europe and the United States. The book
includes valuable information regarding mechanisms and the
practical information needed to support the growing microbial
inoculant and biostimulant industry, thus helping focus scientific
research in new directions.
The need for sustainable advancement in agriculture practices
continues to press. Achieving optimum yields of crops has
traditionally meant farmers continuously using large amounts of
chemical fertilizers or pesticides but the indiscriminate use of
these pesticides has adversely affected the environment, non-
target microorganisms, soil textures and human health. Sustainable
Agricultural Practices, a volume in the Plant and Soil Microbiome
series, presents foundational information into the successful
utilization of different biocontrol agents (especially bacteria and
fungi actinomycetes) under field conditions which can help relieve
the pressure of overexploitation of synthetic pesticides in
agriculture. As many of the microorganisms including nitrogen
fixing bacteria and cyanobacteria can be used as bio inoculants,
they offer opportunities to not only to enhance the crop
productivity but also for maintaining the natural properties of
agricultural soils. The volume explores the multifaceted benefits
derived from varieties of microorganisms existing in different
components of ecosystem, many of which could potentially be
employed as probiotics for improved human and livestock health.
Researchers seeking to expand their understanding of related
fields, and students seeking foundational concept coverage will
find this volume valuable.
