The Bacteriophages (Hardcover, 2nd Revised edition): Richard Lane Calendar The Bacteriophages (Hardcover, 2nd Revised edition)
Richard Lane Calendar
R7,969 Discovery Miles 79 690 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This authoritative, timely, and comprehensively referenced compendium on the bacteriophages explores current views of how viruses infect bacteria. In combination with classical phage molecular genetics, new structural, genomic, and single-molecule technologies have rendered an explosion in our knowledge of phages. Bacteriophages, the most abundant and genetically diverse type of organism in the biosphere, were discovered at the beginning of the 20th century and enjoyed decades of used as anti-bacterial agents before being eclipsed by the antibiotic era. Since 1988, phages have come back into the spotlight as major factors in pathogenesis, bacterial evolution, and ecology. This book reveals their compelling elegence of function and their almost inconceivable diversity.
Much of the founding work in molecular biology and structural biology was done on bacteriophages. These are widely used in molecular biology research and in biotechnology, as probes and markers, and in the popular method of assesing gene expression.

The Big Humanities - Digital Humanities/Digital Laboratories (Paperback): Richard Lane The Big Humanities - Digital Humanities/Digital Laboratories (Paperback)
Richard Lane
R1,451 Discovery Miles 14 510 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book provides an accessible introduction to, and overview of, the digital humanities, one of the fastest growing areas of literary studies. Lane takes a unique approach by focusing on the technologies and the new environment in which the digital humanities largely takes place: the digital laboratory. The book provides a brief history of DH, explores and explains the methodologies of past and current DH projects, and offers resources such as detailed case studies and bibliographies. Further, the focus on the digital laboratory space reveals affiliations with the types of research that have traditionally taken place in the sciences, as well as convergences with other fast-growing research spaces, namely innovation labs, fabrication labs, maker spaces, digital media labs, and change labs. The volume highlights the profound transformation of literary studies that is underway, one in which the adoption of powerful technology - and concomitantly being situated within a laboratory environment - is leading to an important re-engagement in the arts and humanities, and a renewed understanding of literary studies in the digital age, as well as a return to large-scale financial investment in humanistic research. It will be useful to students and teachers, as well as administrators and managers in charge of research infrastructure and funding decisions who need an accessible overview of this technological transformation in the humanities. Combining useful detail and an overview of the field, the book will offers accessible entry into this rapidly growing field.

The Politics of Carbon Markets (Paperback): Benjamin Stephan, Richard Lane The Politics of Carbon Markets (Paperback)
Benjamin Stephan, Richard Lane
R1,504 Discovery Miles 15 040 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The carbon markets are in the middle of a fundamental crisis - a crisis marked by collapsing prices, fleeing actors, and ever increasing greenhouse gas levels. Yet carbon trading remains at the heart of global attempts to respond to climate change. Not only this, but markets continue to proliferate - particularly in the Global South. The Politics of Carbon Markets helps to make sense of this paradox and brings two urgently needed insights to the analysis of carbon markets. First, the markets must be understood in relation to the politics involved in their development, maintenance and opposition. Second, this politics is multiform and pervasive. Implementation of new techniques and measuring tools, policy development and contestation, and the structuring context of institutional settings and macro-social forces all involve a variety of political actors and create new forms of political agency. The contributions study the total extent of the carbon markets, from their prehistory to their contemporary expansion and wider impacts. This wide-ranging political perspective on the carbon markets is invaluable to those studying and interested in ecological markets, climate change governance and environmental politics.

The Politics of Carbon Markets (Hardcover): Benjamin Stephan, Richard Lane The Politics of Carbon Markets (Hardcover)
Benjamin Stephan, Richard Lane
R4,639 Discovery Miles 46 390 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Today's beleaguered yet expanding carbon market represents a type of relationship between economy and ecology scarcely imaginable forty years ago. This collection brings together a comprehensive array of perspectives to critically scrutinise the development and on-going maintenance of this global carbon market. The book's contributors recognise that the market itself, as well as the notion of the environment that it instantiates, is highly political and contested; thus the chapters investigate the market system and its insertion into and influence on climate and environmental governance within the global political economy. The book does this by analysing the routines, institutions, techniques and technologies established or refuted through practices of social and material negotiation. As well as an examination of the carbon market from a political perspective, the book includes contributions that equally interrogate what politics means, does and requires within climate and environmental governance. The book is organised into three sections.The first section investigates the political developments, technical arrangements and contextualising factors that lead up to the implementation of the carbon markets. The second section interrogates the social, political, material, technical and technological details of the carbon markets, as well as the relationship and connections between these details and the broader political economics/ecologic context. The final section asks what the political impacts and consequences of the markets are, what they mean for the climate governance regime and how they impact on the broader capitalist systems.

Reading Walter Benjamin - Writing Through the Catastrophe (Paperback): Richard Lane Reading Walter Benjamin - Writing Through the Catastrophe (Paperback)
Richard Lane
R617 Discovery Miles 6 170 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

'Reading Walter Benjamin' explores the persistence of absolute in Benjamin's work by sketching-out the relationship between philosphy and theology apparent in his diverse writings, from the early youth-movement essays to the later books, essays and fragments. The book examines Benjamin from two main perspectives: a history-of-ideas approach situating Benjamin in relation to the new German-Jewish thinking at the turn of the twentieth-century, as well as the German youth movements, Surrealism and the 'Georgekreis'; and a conceptual approach examining more critical issues in relation to Benjamin and Kant, modern aesthetics and narrative order. Chapters cover: 'Kulturpessimismus' and the new thinking; metaphysics of youth: Wyneken and 'Rausch'; history: surreal Messianism; Goethe and the 'Georgekreis'; Kant's experience; casting the work of art; disrupting textual order; and exile and the time of crisis. The book uses new translations of Benjamin's essays, fragments and his 'Arcades Project', and makes substantial reference to previously untranslated material. Lane's text allows the non-specialist entry into complex areas of critical theory, simultaneously offering original readings of Benjamin and twentieth-century arts and literature. -- .

R283 Discovery Miles 2 830 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Although so many Christians live in multiracial and multicultural communities, many Christian churches do not reflect the diversity of their communities. Sunday morning worship remains racially divided. Multiracial Church Dynamics offers a straightforward examination of the topic. The strategies to move from uniracial to multiracial churches are relevant to a broad audience in the Christian community, pastors and laity alike. The specificity of the topic and the author's clear viewpoint all contribute to a clearly presented controlling idea, one that readers will understand and appreciate. Bishop William H. Willimon writes in the foreword: "Richard Stryker is not content simply to lament the sad state of the church to obey Christ's commands and to embody the reach and the richness of his salvation in our life together. In this book he offers specific, tested, practical help for pastors and church leaders who want their congregations to grow and to be all that God intends."

The Brutus Conspiracy is a page-turning story intertwined with aviation, history and law. It will entertain you with edge-of-your-seat flying scenes, struggling romance, intriguing air crash investigation, courtroom drama, ethical dilemmas and many surprises. In this mystery thriller, Becky Langevin, a talented young air crash investigator, must set aside her emotions to find and interpret clues to explain two plane crashes that occurred fourteen years apart. In one, Becky's father piloted the jet that crashed killing a U.S. senator and four prominent businessmen. Federal investigators attributed the crash to her dead father. In the second, federal investigators concluded that two hotshot Massachusetts trial lawyers were killed because the attorneys were intoxicated when one of them piloted the plane into the ground. To uncover what really happened in the two crashes, Becky befriends two of the adult children of the plane crash victims. As they investigate, people Becky comes in contact with are murdered. Someone tries to kill Becky and her friends. Becky must choose between protecting innocent lives and uncovering a conspiracy so extensive that it could undermine everything she, and you, ever believed in.
