A proper understanding of the structural organization of the plant body is essential to any study in plant biology. Experimental studies in vivo and in situ will lead to structural, physiological, and cellular changes of the experimental material. To study macroscopic and microscopic changes, different histological methods and microtechniques can be used as they provide valuable information of the experimental system. In addition, the observed structural changes allow investigators to set hypothesis for further studies based on one's own observation. Thus, proper selection and utilization of microtechniques are a must for the success of a research program. At present, an up-to-date collection of protocols are not readily available in the literature. The latest work in plant microtechniques was published in 1999 by Ruzin but many others are no longer in print [e.g., Jensen (1964); O'Brien and McCully (1981)]. Furthermore, a majority of published works focus on techniques related to general processing and staining procedures. A comprehensive treatment that encompasses broader applications of microtechniques to other disciplines is lacking [e.g., archeology, wood science, etc.]. There is a need to create a comprehensive volume of botanical methods and protocols which includes traditional and novel techniques that can be used by researchers in plant science and investigators in other disciplines that require plant microtechniques in their research and teaching. This book covers a wide variety of applications and brings them up-to-date to make them understandable and relevant, especially to students using the methods for the first time. It is our intention to create a useful reference for plant histology and related methods that will serve as a foundation for plant scholars, researchers, and teachers in the plant sciences.

Epic remake of the adventure classic from acclaimed director Peter Jackson. In Depression-era New York, unscrupulous filmmaker Carl Denham (Jack Black) is desperate to find a leading lady for his new picture. After a chance encounter, naive actress Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts) takes the role, and travels with Denham and sensitive scriptwriter Jack Driscoll (Adrien Brody) to the mysterious Skull Island, deep in the Indian Ocean. There the filmmakers discover a secret, savage civilisation that time forgot, and that worships a terrifying, gigantic ape called Kong (a motion-capture performance from Andy Serkis). When Ann is captured to be sacrificed to Kong, the ape becomes obsessed with her. Denham uses this obsession to help capture Kong and transport him back to New York, where he hopes he can make a fortune from exhibiting the creature. But after Kong escapes, the ape unleashes his awesome power against the city in an attempt to find Ann, the woman he truly loves, leading to a tragic conclusion atop the Empire State Building.

This to a published scientific article advertised on this website, known as G-500: The Twelve Forces of Movement. It describes in detail through a series of pictures and diagrams, the importance of movement as a constant force in mechanics and dynamics, how movement uses momentum and motion to interact with bodies and objects, how they are formed into various shapes and patterns, and how they can become independent and mobile from movement. The article utilises gas giants like worlds similar to the outer planets in our very own solar system (e.g Jupiter, Neptune) in elaborate illustrations to represent the bodies and objects at work, explaining the principles involved. I have decided to use these types of planets in part to present the forces and reactions as an alternative to the typical and intimidating mathematical formulas and equations that are displayed in other such journals; the other reason is that gas giants are colourful metaphors to ease and entice the reader instead of the standard and sometimes common mono-coloured spheres, or basic symbols. This is done so that all people even with a vague interest in science, physics, and similar fields can understand it in a lucid manner, without feeling alienated, perplexed, or overwhelmed. It is also done to show the importance and significance this field has. On each page there are five planets; one is always labelled Movement and shown to be separate from the other planets that are pictured nearby. The others are labelled Momentum, Motion, and Mobile; this is to depict the reactions involved when Movement plays it role. At the bottom of every page is a rectangular caption which describes in words what is happening in the above diagrams. This is to assist in the overall understanding of what I am addressing to the reader. The documentation may appear rather simplistic, but this is part of a hopeful first step to a series of similar literatures that I plan to do in the future to bolster my theorems.

'A House in the Hills' is set in Spain, and is a story about Ted and a lady called Ross who meet accidently outside a shop. Ted is a retired vice-president of a building company, and befriends Ross who is in Spain to escape from her abusive husband. He helps her to renovate the 'finca' she has bought, and during the time they work together, they realise that they are getting romantically close. Her trust in him is shown when she confesses her horrific past. Within the book, Ross tells Ted about her life with her abusive husband. The story she relates is actually a true story, and was told to the author when he was doing volunteer work at a hostel for abused ladies. The names have obviously been changed, as are the places mentioned. The final outcome though, is pure fiction. The person who told the author of that part of her life had given her permission for him to use it as part of a story. John Sumner is in his seventies, and a retired Baker and Technical College Lecturer. He currently lives part of the year in Spain, where he took up writing as a hobby. 'A House in the Hills' is his first book to be published, and could be followed by the sequel, 'Ted's Return'. He has completed four books with another in the pipeline, all of which may be published at a later date.
