Trace minerals and metals such as zinc, copper, and magnesium are
accepted as a "natural" part of the human system. Interactions of
some elements and/or disturbances in trace-metal or mineral
homeostasis can, however, be toxic to the central nervous system
(CNS). Mineral and Metal Neurotoxicology describes a wide range of
basic and clinical issues regarding the relationship between
mineral-metal interactions and neurological disorders. The most
current information and latest advancements in neurotoxicology and
environmental science are presented by experts from around the
world.
Part I addresses general aspects of minerals and metals and covers
environmental aspects and research techniques. Part II describes
specific minerals and metals related to experimental and clinical
neurological disorders. The roles of metals and minerals in
specific disorders and diseases are discussed in detail, including
Alzheimer's disease and aluminum, mercury-related neurological
syndromes and disorders, manganese-induced Parkinsonism, and many
other CNS disorders.
The Business of Plant Breeding is the result of a study on
demand-led plant variety design for markets in Africa, sharing best
practices from private and public sector breeding programmes
worldwide that are applicable to improving tropical crops in
Africa. Beginning with an overview of the principles of demand-led
plant breeding, the book then discusses aspects such as
understanding the demands of clients and markets in rural and urban
areas, foresight in setting product profiles and breeding targets,
and determining breeding strategy and stage plans. It also covers
measuring success and making the business case for future
investments in breeding programmes that will deliver new varieties
to meet market demands. The book: - Brings together the experience
of plant breeders around the world, representing universities,
national plant breeding programmes, regional and international
agricultural research institutes, and private seed companies,
showcasing how to respond to changing market demands; - Provides
educational resource materials within each chapter; - Includes
templates for use as planning tools by plant breeding programs for
determining priority traits that meet market demands. An important
read for professionals and students of plant breeding and genetics,
this book is also a useful resource for anyone interested in
developing and disseminating new, market-led technologies to
increase productivity and profitability in tropical agriculture.
The study was sponsored by the Australian Centre for International
Agricultural Research, the Crawford Fund and the Syngenta
Foundation for Sustainable Agriculture, and managed by the
University of Queensland.
Stop making a living and start making a life with The New
Retirementality(TM) In 2000, when top financial philosopher and
bestselling author Mitch Anthony first presented a new way of
thinking about retirement, it was novel, and many critics didn't
buy into it. Originally written to get the attention of baby
boomers, Mitch ended up starting a revolution by showing us that
everything we had read about retirement was wrong--we needed a "new
retirementality." Fast-forward to today, when most of us are facing
a very different retirement: fewer pensions, escalating healthcare
costs, and inadequate savings. For many of us, retirement may never
happen, or it will take place much later than we expected. Far from
being full of doom and gloom, The New Retirementality, Fifth
Edition, offers a message of hope, along with a roadmap for
navigating the choppy waters of retirement planning. While most
books focus on Return on Investment, Mitch shows us that Return on
Life(TM)--living the best life possible with the resources we
have--is a more fulfilling and achievable approach. New to this
edition: The latest research and studies, as well as a discussion
of Life-Centered Planning(TM)--a unique approach to financial and
retirement planning, focused on individual goals and needs instead
of the outmoded one-size-fits-all approach. Explores the role of
purpose in retirement planning, including the expanding role of
work in retirement, and why it can take three or four tries to get
retirement right. Features the New Retirementality Profile, the ROL
Index for helping you analyze and reflect on how you are using your
money toward improving your life, and worksheets to help you get
organized. Filled with engaging anecdotes, practical advice, and
inspirational suggestions, this book will motivate you to rethink
what retirement means--and put you in a better position to enjoy
the new retirementality you deserve.

Association and author of Financial Planning: The Next Step
"The future belongs to the fee-based, right-brained advisor who
brings wisdom and knowledge into holistic conversations with
clients who are wrestling withmajor anticipated or unanticipated
life transitions. Mitch deftly describes theessence of planning
beyond money. What clients value and what they prefer are
meaningful discussions surrounding purpose-driven net worth, i.e.,
solutions that support, sustain, and nourish their three most
important assets--their mind, their body, and theirsoul."
