Star defensive player Zack Fuller is in a tough spot. His new
Panthers teammates don't trust him. The players on the Bulldogs,
his old squad, think he's a traitor for leaving. When the two teams
face each other in the playoffs, Zack has to guard his former best
friend. To make matters worse, the Panthers captain refuses to pass
the ball to Zack. Caught between a Panther and a Bulldog, and in
serious foul trouble, Zack will have to find a way to play through
the pressure.

It was not until recent years that the study of polyamines, their
mechanisms of synthesis, and the roles they play in metabolism have
flourished, becoming a fertile field of intense research.
Polyamines in Fungi: Their Distribution, Metabolism, and Role in
Cell Differentiation and Morphogenesis provides a complete overview
of its topic. It is the first and only book to describe and analyze
the roles of polyamines in fungi and compare them with the roles of
polyamines in higher eukaryotes. The book contains data on the
distribution of polyamines, their physiological functions,
mechanism of synthesis and regulation, phylogenetic analyses of the
enzymes involved in their synthesis, their use as possible targets
for the control of fungal diseases, and possible biotechnological
and medical applications. Based on work generated by the authors in
their laboratory over many years, the book contains all the basic
information to understand the similarities and differences of
polyamine metabolism in eukaryotes. Additionally, it provides an
up-to-date account of the contribution and potential use of fungi
as models for the basic study of polyamines in comparison with
other organisms.
Tou Yang is the smallest kid on his football team, but he plays
like a giant. Tou's job is to dash down the field and smash the
ball carrier on kickoffs and punts, and he does it well. When the
Bandits come to town, an old enemy on the other side of the line
goes out of his way to bring Tou down. Darren cuts corners and
plays dirty. Will Tou be able to overcome his gridiron bully, or
will Darren send him to the sidelines?

Fungal Cell Wall: Structure, Synthesis, and Assembly, Second
Edition is a compendium of information on the chemical structure,
synthesis, and organization of the cell wall of fungi. Reviewing
the past 20 years of research in the field, it discusses
experimental evidence that demonstrates the role of the cell wall
in the growth, development, morphogenesis, and evolution of fungi.
Synthesizes 20 Years of Important Research on Fungal Cell Walls
More than just a revision, this second edition offers a fresh
perspective on what is currently known about the fungal cell wall.
It covers recent developments, conflicting theories, and important
aspects that are largely forgotten-including critical analysis of
the prevalent idea that cell walls from all fungal species have the
same basic structure, organization, and behavior as the most
popular models of study. Chapters are self-contained and can be
read independently, allowing readers to delve into specific topics.
The book begins by examining the chemical composition and structure
of the fungal cell wall, an area almost closed to modern research.
It then describes the structure and synthesis of the most important
components of the cell wall and analyzes the mechanisms of cell
wall expansion and growth. Throughout, the book identifies the
basic concepts that have led to modern ideas about cell walls. The
Essential Guide to the Fungal Cell Wall A critical review of fungal
cell wall research, this book helps readers understand the role of
fungi in nature-both positive and negative-from their symbiotic
associations and biotechnological applications to their
pathogenicity to plants, animals, and humans.
Presents a wealth of original research findings on how medieval
ports actually worked, providing new insights on shipping, trade,
port society and culture, and systems of regional and international
integration. This book responds to the increasing interest of
maritime historians in the study of ports. These enclaves offer
significant insights into a variety of subjects, including ships
and shipping; trade, commodities, and consumption patterns; the
economy, society and culture of port workers and port communities;
and systems of regional and international integration. Based on
extensive research in a wide range of European archives, the book
provides much detailon the nature of ports in the medieval period,
especially on the crucial subject of the operation of ports.
Covering a range of ports in France, Spain, Portugal and the Canary
Islands, the book contains a wealth of original research findings.
It will be particularly welcomed by English-speaking scholars and
others outside the region analysed, since it gives access to
non-English-language archives, thereby considerably enriching the
study of medieval portsbeyond ports in Britain and Ireland.
