Nitrogen fixation is a key component of the nitrogen cycle, one of
the most fundamental cycles in the biosphere. Conversion of
atmospheric nitrogen into organic nitrogen compounds can be carried
out only by certain bacteria and blue-green algae (cyanobacteria).
Some nitrogen fixing bacteria live symbiotically with leguminous
plants such as peas, beans, clover, and certain tropical trees in
nodules on the plants' roots, while others live independently in
the soil and aquatic habitats. By the activity of these
microorganisms, the soil is enriched with the nitrogen required for
plant growth and function. Thus the topic is of considerable
practical as well as fundamental importance. In Biological Nitrogen
Fixation, the leading researchers in nitrogen fixation from all
over the world contribute up-to-the-minute general reviews on all
aspects of the subject, from the molecular biology and genetics to
the biochemistry, physiology, and ecology of nitrogen fixation.
This compendium of current research is an indispensable reference
for all involved in nitrogen fixation research, and of use to all
who deal indirectly with the subject. It will also serve as a
thoroughly up-to-date textbook for graduate students in
microbiology, plant science, biochemistry, molecular biology, plant
pathology, agronomy, and genetics.
When the author was born, his mother did the unthinkable. She
gave him a girl's name-Stacey.
But Stacey's name was just the first hurdle he'd face in his
uphill climb from birth to manhood. He also had to deal with an
entitled older brother, the hodgepodge of different men his mother
was involved with, and the nomadic lifestyle he was forced to
endure for five years. And to top it all off, his mother couldn't
cook a decent meal to save her life.
"Trailer Trash, With a Girl's Name" is Stacey Roberts'
lighthearted, often hilarious account of growing up in an unstable
household during the 1980s. Full of humor, history, and hope, it
follows Stacey from the hospital room where he was born to the
Winnebago that carried him across the country, filling in the gaps
with a wit and humor that anyone with a dysfunctional family can
appreciate.
So go ahead and start reading. Once you hop aboard the Winnebago
with Stacey and his quirky family, you'll find that you're in for
the ride or your life, where what you learn along the way is not
only entertaining, but also enormously enriching.
