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.
Concisely discussing the application of high throughput analysis to
move forward our understanding of microbial principles,
Metagenomics for Microbiology provides a solid base for the design
and analysis of omics studies for the characterization of microbial
consortia. The intended audience includes clinical and
environmental microbiologists, molecular biologists, infectious
disease experts, statisticians, biostatisticians, and public health
scientists. This book focuses on the technological underpinnings of
metagenomic approaches and their conceptual and practical
applications. With the next-generation genomic sequencing
revolution increasingly permitting researchers to decipher the
coding information of the microbes living with us, we now have a
unique capacity to compare multiple sites within individuals and at
higher resolution and greater throughput than hitherto possible.
The recent articulation of this paradigm points to unique
possibilities for investigation of our dynamic relationship with
these cellular communities, and excitingly the probing of their
therapeutic potential in disease prevention or treatment of the
future.
