The fungus fusarium is a major plant pathogen that causes disease
in nearly every agriculturally important plant. In addition, some
strains produce mycotoxins that can cause serious illness in humans
and livestock. The enormous economic importance of and health
hazards posed by fusarium have fuelled research into its
biochemistry, genetics, genomics, proteomics and metabolomics by
scientists worldwide. In this book, an international group of
researchers critically review the most important research on the
genomics and molecular and cellular biology of fusarium.
Fifty years after the Second Vatican Council, architectural
historian Robert Proctor examines the transformations in British
Roman Catholic church architecture that took place in the two
decades surrounding this crucial event. Inspired by new thinking in
theology and changing practices of worship, and by a growing
acceptance of modern art and architecture, architects designed
radical new forms of church building in a campaign of new buildings
for new urban contexts. A focussed study of mid-twentieth century
church architecture, Building the Modern Church considers how
architects and clergy constructed the image and reality of the
Church as an institution through its buildings. The author examines
changing conceptions of tradition and modernity, and the
development of a modern church architecture that drew from the
ideas of the liturgical movement. The role of Catholic clergy as
patrons of modern architecture and art and the changing attitudes
of the Church and its architects to modernity are examined,
explaining how different strands of post-war architecture were
adopted in the field of ecclesiastical buildings. The church
building's social role in defining communities through rituals and
symbols is also considered, together with the relationships between
churches and modernist urban planning in new towns and suburbs.
Case studies analysed in detail include significant buildings and
architects that have remained little known until now. Based on
meticulous historical research in primary sources, theoretically
informed, fully referenced, and thoroughly illustrated, this book
will be of interest to anyone concerned with the church
architecture, art and theology of this period.
