costs and increasing opportunities for civic engagement, and, as a
result, will likely affect the future of governance. Public

social media on interaction and the political process. Researchers,
government administrators, and policymakers will benefit from the
book's examination of e-governance in an increasingly complex and
interdependent world. Readers will learn to use Web technologies to

into chaos, Cole must face his own demons to rid the world of
creatures designed to annihilate.

It is widely recognised that photosynthesis in many important crops
is well below its theoretical potential. With crop yields and
stability under threat from the impact of climate change, there is
now an urgent need to synthesise existing research on best
practices for improving C3 photosynthesis in crops to optimise
sustainable crop production and yields. Understanding and improving
crop photosynthesis reviews the wealth of current research that
addresses this challenge. The book explores our understanding of
the general components of C3 photosynthesis, including its
biochemistry, as well as the recent advances in techniques for
improving photosynthesis, focussing primarily on light harvesting
and optimising chloroplast function/light conversion. Through
providing its readers with a comprehensive exploration of crop
photosynthesis, the book showcases how farmers can utilise their
understanding of the science behind this key process to optimise
their yields and achieve successful crop production.
