This dreamy, sing-along tale, is about a Sleepy Bear who after
enjoying a wonderful summer eating berries and humming his summer
song, snuggles up in a moss filled warm hollow log to go to
sleep... But he can't! Bear is still humming his summer song, so
unable to sleep he gets up and walks around the now cold and silent
icy wood. Until he hears his winter's song...

Harnessing the sun s energy via photosynthesis is at the core of
sustainable production of food, fuel, and materials by plants,
algae, and cyanobacteria. Photosynthesis depends on photoprotection
against intense sunlight, starting with the safe removal of excess
excitation energy from the light-harvesting system, which can be
quickly and non-destructively assessed via non-photochemical
quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence (NPQ). By placing NPQ into
the context of whole-organism function, this book aims to
contribute towards identification of plant and algal lines with
superior stress resistance and productivity. By addressing
agreements and open questions concerning photoprotection s
molecular mechanisms, this book contributes towards development of
artificial photosynthetic systems. A comprehensive picture from
single molecules to organisms in ecosystems, and from leading
expert s views to practical information for non-specialists on NPQ
measurement and terminology is presented."
'British Railways Past and Present' is a nationwide series of books
featuring photographs of railway locations taken several decades
ago and comparing them with the same scene today. Such is the
current pace of change on our railway system that even a few years
can reduce a busy and vibrant railway scene to a wasteland or
housing estate - or conversely can bring electrification and
up-to-the-minute technology to an outdated, run-down route. The
contrasts are often dramatic, while sometimes hardly anything has
altered in 30 or 40 years.Whatever the change, the comparison of
'past' and 'present' will intrigue not only the railway enthusiast
and historian, but also anyone interested in our recent history.

Photoprotection, Photoinhibition, Gene Regulation, and Environment
examines the processes whereby plants monitor environmental
conditions and orchestrate their response to change, an ability
paramount to the life of all plants. "Excess light", absorbed by
the light-harvesting systems of photosynthetic organisms, is an
integrative indicator of the environment, communicating the
presence of intense light and any conditions unfavorable for growth
and photosynthesis. Key plant responses are photoprotection and
photoinhibition. In this volume, the dual role of photoprotective
responses in the preservation of leaf integrity and in redox
signaling networks modulating stress acclimation, growth, and
development is addressed. In addition, the still unresolved impact
of photoinhibition on plant survival and productivity is discussed.
Specific topics include dissipation of excess energy via thermal
and other pathways, scavenging of reactive oxygen by antioxidants,
proteins key to photoprotection and photoinhibition, peroxidation
of lipids, as well as signaling by reactive oxygen, lipid-derived
messengers, and other messengers that modulate gene expression.
Approaches include biochemical, physiological, genetic, molecular,
and field studies, addressing intense visible and ultraviolet
light, winter conditions, nutrient deficiency, drought, and
salinity.
