Applied Environmental Metabolomics: Community Insights and Guidance from the Field brings together contributions from global experts who have helped to define and develop the exciting and rapid advances that are taking place in the field of environmental metabolomics. This book is aimed at expert users, students, researchers, and academics in metabolomics and systems biology. It not only demonstrates the best practice in experimental design but also provides insight into state-of-the-art instrumentation and the depth of analysis one can expect to get by using various sampling, chromatographic, mass spectrometric, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. Common experimental and technical pitfalls are also highlighted. This book provides a unique insight into the world of environmental metabolomics and will help the practicing scientist avoid repeating similar costly mistakes, steering them efficiently toward the generation of high-quality data and high-impact publications.

Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign seemed, at first, like a harmless joke: an eccentric billionaire's entertaining grab at free publicity. Since then, Trump has resisted every attempt to compartmentalise or neutralise him, successfully winning over a moderate majority it was thought he could never reach. In doing so, he shattered every accepted paradigm of American politics, becoming probably the most important and unsettling historical figure of our times. In this highly readable analysis, Oliver Jones exposes the new president and the media-driven culture that allowed his dangerous rise. This is the book that everyone needs to read-the stakes have never been higher.
