Huxley was one of the first adherents to Darwin's theory of
evolution by natural selection and advanced its acceptance by
scientists and the public. "Man's Place in Nature" was explicitly
directed against Richard Owen, who had claimed that there were
distinct differences between human brains and those of apes. Huxley
demonstrated that ape and human brains were fundamentally similar
in every anatomical detail, thus applying evolution to the human
race.

The year 2018 marked the 90th anniversary of induced mutagenesis in
plants. The FAO/IAEA International Symposium on Plant Mutation
Breeding and Biotechnology held in 2018 reviewed achievements in
crop improvement through mutation breeding in several countries
across the globe, and discussed innovations in mutation induction,
precision phenotyping and genomics applications. Induced genetic
variation is important for crop improvement especially in instances
where there is limited variation in existing germplasm pools to
achieve desired levels of crop performance, and where techniques
such as hybridization cannot be easily applied. Its application
becomes further significant as the dual threats of population
growth and climate change increasingly challenge global food and
nutrition security. Higher production of nutritional food and
reduction of crop losses imposed by extreme events like droughts,
high temperatures, floods, diseases and pests call for induced
novel genetic variation. While recent breakthroughs in whole
genome-based mutation detection technologies increase the
efficiency and precision of breeding in all crops, in vitro
techniques coupled with mutagenesis broaden the genetic base of
vegetative and horticultural tree crops and reduce their breeding
cycles. In this book an international team of expert authors review
achievements, new developments, trends and challenges in the field
of plant mutation breeding, across the scientific community and the
private sector. Chapters highlight specific challenges, such as
emerging transboundary threats to crop production, and assess the
overall importance of mutation breeding to food security. Coverage
includes: * Contribution and impact of mutant varieties to food
security. * Mutation breeding for adaptation to climate change in
seed propagated crops. * Mutation breeding for ornamental and
vegetatively propagated crops. * Enhancing agro biodiversity
through new mutation induction techniques. * New challenges and
technologies in plant genomics and breeding. This book is a
comprehensive and essential resource for students, researchers and
professionals in plant breeding.

The huge increase in potential applications of polymer
nanocomposites have made it necessary for researchers to address
the fire safety issues of these materials. Flame Retardant
Nanocomposites: Emergent Nanoparticles and their Applications
covers the broad area of flame- retardant polymer nanocomposites,
their preparation, fire retardant mechanisms and the various
factors that affect them. The influence of various nanoparticles on
their flammability is discussed in detail, as well as their
structure, free radical trapping ability, char formation, and
eventual barrier properties. The book will be a valuable reference
resource for students, researchers and engineers covering this
important field of research. The chapters discuss the effect of
different nanoparticles, their dispersion, and effect of different
polymer structures on fire retardant properties, as well as
possible applications.

Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-1895) was one of the most prominent
evolutionists of the late nineteenth century. A close companion of
Charles Darwin, Huxley developed a reputation as "Darwin's Bulldog"
for his relentless defense of evolutionary theory. Huxley was also
an ardent supporter of social reform, particularly in his call for
quality education at all levels. "Evolution and Ethics," widely
considered to be his greatest lecture, distilled a lifetime's
wisdom and sensitive understanding of the nature and needs of
humankind. Arguing that the human psyche is at war with itself,
that humans are alienated in the cosmos, and that moral societies
are necessarily in conflict with the natural conditions of their
existence, Huxley nevertheless saw moral dictates as the key to
future human happiness and success. This new edition features an
introduction by renowned historian and philosopher of biology
Michael Ruse, placing Huxley's lecture in its original context
while showing its even deeper relevance for our own time.
In this comprehensive and latest statistical profile of the
membership of the Communist Party during the first half-century of
the Soviet regime, Professor Rigby analyzes the history of party
recruitment and composition. Since the party makes vital
contributions to the performance of several basic tasks within the
Soviet political system, the author interprets his data mainly in
functional terms. He identifies and evaluates the influence of
these functional considerations on recruitment policies and on the
changing patterns of membership, and determines the priorities
assigned to different functions under changing circumstances. T.H.
Rigby is Professor of Political Science, Research School of Social
Science, Australian National University. Studies of the Russian
Institute, Columbia University. Originally published in 1968. The
Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology
to again make available previously out-of-print books from the
distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These
editions preserve the original texts of these important books while
presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The
goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access
to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books
published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
