This volume describes the more relevant secondary metabolites of
different fungi with current information on their biosynthesis and
molecular genetics. Bolstered with color illustrations and
photographs, the book describes the possible application of
molecular genetics to directed strain improvement in great detail.
The needs for future developments in this field are also discussed
at length
Written by authorities in the field, "Biosynthesis and Molecular
Genetics of Fungal Secondary Metabolites" provides a cutting-edge
perspective on fungal secondary metabolism and underlying genetics
and is a valuable resource for scientists, researchers, and
educators in the field of fungal biology.
Fungi produce many chemically diverse secondary metabolites whose
biological roles largely remain elusive. Within the increasing
number of sequenced fungal genomes several important genes involved
in secondary metabolite formation have been identified. Most of
these genes are clustered and their coordinated transcription is
controlled in a complex way by both narrow pathway-specific
regulators as well as broad global transcription factors responsive
to environmental cues. In recent years it was discovered many of
the newly identified gene clusters are silent under laboratory
conditions suggesting that the biosynthetic potential of fungi is
far from being exploited. Besides identifying novel bioactive
metabolites from still unexplored sources, the activation of these
gene clusters by several approaches may result in the discovery of
new substances with antibiotic and pharmaceutical benefits. This
book covers recent advances in the field of fungal secondary
metabolisms ranging from methodologies to biological aspects and
will include the latest knowledge on fungal molecular biology,
genomics, and metabolomics. With the related volume by Professor
Juan-Francisco Martin, where the most relevant and well-studied
fungal secondary metabolites are compiled, this book provides a
comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art of research on
fungal secondary metabolites.
Contradicting the widely held but false belief that all Latinos are
Catholic, this book offers a concise one-volume introduction to
America's Latino Protestants, the fastest growing segment of U.S.
Protestantism today. Los Protestantes: An Introduction to Latino
Protestantism in the United States, the first to provide a broad
introduction to this rapidly growing population. At its core is an
exploration of the group's demographics, denominational tendencies,
and potential for continued growth. Current information is
supported by a survey of the history of Latino Protestants in the
United States, which dates back to the efforts of missionaries in
the mid-19th century. Los Protestantes brings together data from
formerly disparate studies of various aspects of the community to
create an insightful overview. The work presents brief descriptions
of principal denominations and organizations among Latino
Protestants. It notes marked differences that separate Latino
Protestants from other U.S. Protestants, and it examines an
evolving Protestant/Latino ethno-religious identity. Readers will
come away from this study more clearly understanding the current
state of Latino Protestantism in the United States, as well as
where Latino Protestants fit in the overall picture of U.S.
religion. A graph charting the various types of Latino
identification with Latino culture A graph showing the implications
of this identification for probable church attendance An extensive
bibliography of most published materials on Latino Protestantism

The Global Dictionary of Theology' is inspired by the shift of the
centre of Christianity from the West to the global South. But it
also reflects the increase in two-way traffic between these two
sectors as well as the global awareness that has permeated popular
culture to an unprecedented degree. 'The Global Dictionary of
Theology' has approximately 250 articles written by over 100
contributors representing a global spectrum of theological
perspectives. The full range of standard theological topics are
represented, but in addition to the Western tradition the GDT
canvasses the array of theologies that are currently being worked
out around the globe. Many articles are composite in nature and
achieve a sort of conversation between more than one global
perspective. The GDT surveys, describes and classifies the rich
variety of theological perspectives that have grown in local and
diverse soils around the globe. In an age of unprecedented global
awareness, the GDT will become a standard launching point of
theological research that will enrich every student's understanding
of theology. Moving beyond mission theology, it explores the local
and global theological fruit of the inculturation of the gospel.

Badlands Dynamics in the Context of Global Change presents the
newest ideas concerning badland formation and relates them to the
larger context of global change. The book provides an overview of
badland landforms and covers a variety of interdisciplinary topics,
such as runoff generation, erosion processes and rates, the
potential for modeling badland systems, and emerging technologies
in research. It is an ideal resource for geomorphologists, physical
geographers and soil scientists interested in this terrain and how
it relates to land degradation in other environments.

The first major historical overview of one of America's most
vibrant Christian movements. This groundbreaking book by Juan
Francisco Martinez provides a broad historical overview of Latino
Protestantism in the United States from the early nineteenth
century to the present. Beginning with a description of the diverse
Latino Protestant community and a summary of his own
historiographical approach, Martinez then examines six major
periods in the history of American Latino Protestantism, paying
special attention to key social, political, and religious
issues-including immigration policies, migration patterns,
enculturation and assimilation, and others-that framed its
development and diversification during each period. He concludes by
outlining the challenges currently facing Latino Protestants in the
United States and considering what Latino Protestantism might look
like in the future. Offering vital insights into key leaders, eras,
and trends in Latino Protestantism, Martinez's work will prove an
invaluable resource for all who are seeking to understand this
rapidly growing US demographic.
