Extending the study of post-9/11 literature to include
transnational perspectives, this book explores the ways in which
contemporary writers from Europe as well as the USA have responded
to the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the ensuing 'war on
terror.' Transatlantic Fictions of 9/11 and the 'War on Terror'
demonstrates the ways in which contemporary fiction has wrestled
with anxieties about national and international security in the
21st century. Reading a wide range of novels by such writers as Amy
Waldman, Michael Cunningham, Frederic Beigbeder, Ian McEwan, Joseph
O'Neill, Moshin Hamid, Jose Saramago, Ricardo Menendez Salmon, J.M.
Coetzee and Salman Rushdie, Susana Araujo explores how the rhetoric
of the 'war on terror' has shaped recent representations of the
city and how "security" discourses circulate transatlantically and
transnationally. By focusing not only on 9/11 but also on the way
subsequent events such as the wars in Afghanistan and in Iraq are
represented in fiction, this book demonstrates how notions of
"terror" and "insecurity" have been absorbed, reworked or critiqued
in fiction. Araujo examines to what extent transatlantic relations
have reinforced or challenged new fictions of "white western middle
class captivity."
This book comprehensively introduces all aspects of the physiology,
stress responses and tolerance to abiotic stresses of the Fabaceae
plants. Different plant families have been providing food, fodder,
fuel, medicine and other basic needs for the human and animal since
the ancient time. Among the plant families Fabaceae have special
importance for their agri-horticultural importance and multifarious
uses apart from the basic needs. Interest in the response of
Fabaceae plants toward abiotic stresses is growing considering the
economic importance and the special adaptive mechanisms. Recent
advances and developments in molecular and biotechnological tools
has contributed to ease and wider this mission. This book provides
up-to-date findings that will be of greater use for the students
and researchers, particularly Plant Physiologists, Environmental
Scientists, Biotechnologists, Botanists, Food Scientists and
Agronomists, to get the information on the recent advances on this
plant family in regard to physiology and stress tolerance.

I took a trip down to L'America To trade some beads for a pint of
gold.Jim MorrisonAs the title indicates, Trans/American,
Trans/Oceanic, Trans/lation points towards the International
American Studies Society's aims to promote cross-disciplinary study
and teaching of the Americas regionally, hemispherically,
nationally and transnationally. But it also reflects, less
strategically but more forcefully, the heterogeneous and often
unexpected themes, topics and motifs addressed in this forum.These
articles are revealing in that they give face and expression to the
evolving trends and preoccupations in the field. In various ways
and from different disciplinary angles, the essays explore key
questions in International American Studies: what have been the
symbolic and material relations between the "Americas" and the
"USA," and between "America" and the "World"? What are the meanings
and workings of these four entities when examined across nations,
cultures and languages? In what ways does American experience
contribute to the global (re-)production of social, cultural and
economic practices?
