Biotechnology

Applying the Genetic Revolution

By: David P. Clark,Nanette J. Pazdernik

Unlike most textbooks on this subject, Biotechnology approaches modern biotechnology from a molecular basis. Using straightforward, less technical jargon, Clark and Pazdernik introduce students to the topics and walk them through the process as it evolves into a more specific detailed principle." "This up-to-date text covers a wide realm of topics that are encountered in current media and movies. One of the chapters covers the burgeoning field of nanobiotechnology, stimulating the student to think about biotechnology from a new and much smaller point of view. Another chapter explains the real biotechnology behind crime scene investigations portrayed so dramatically on the hit show CSI. In addition, students will learn about the biotechnology behind making vaccines, genetically-modified plants, stem-cell research, gene therapy, and aging, among many other topics that are part of mainstream media coverage. Students will also learn the molecular basis for many viral diseases, cancer, and bacterial diseases that are bound to affect them or other family members. Finally, the text includes a very thought-provoking chapter on the bioethics of these new advances and applications of today's world of biotechnology, which stimulates the student to think rather than memorize."--BOOK JACKET.

Producing Liquid Fuels from Coal

Prospects and Policy Issues

By: James T. Bartis,Frank A. Camm,David Santana Ortiz

Record-high world oil prices have prompted renewed interest in producing liquid fuels from coal. The United States leads the world in recoverable coal reserves. Moreover, the technology for converting coal to liquid fuels already exists, and production costs appear competitive at world oil prices well below current levels. Yet, despite its promise, private investment in coal-to-liquids (CTL) technology is being impeded by three uncertainties: where oil prices are heading, what it actually costs to produce coal-derived fuels, and how greenhouse-gas emissions will be regulated. A domestic CTL industry could produce as much as three million barrels per day of transportation fuels by 2030. Having such an industry would yield important energy security benefits, most notably a lowering of world oil prices and a decrease in wealth transfers from oil users to oil producers. But establishing a large CTL industry also raises important policy and environmental issues associated with climate change, coal mining, and water consumption. Weighing both benefits and costs, it makes sense for the United States to pursue an insurance or hedge strategy that promotes the early construction and operation of a limited number of commercial CTL plants. This book presents an in-depth review of the prospects of and policy, governance, and environmental issues associated with establishing a CTL industry in the United States. -- provided by publisher.

A Guide for Desert and Dryland Restoration

A Guide for Desert and Dryland Restoration

New Hope for Arid Lands

By: David A. Bainbridge

Dryland degradation and desertification now affect almost a billion people around the world. Tragically, the biological resources and productivity of millions of acres of land are lost to desertification each year because people remain unaware of strategies and techniques that could improve yields, reduce risk, and begin healing the world's deserts. A Guide for Desert and Dryland Restoration is the first book to offer practical, field-tested solutions to this critical problem. Author David Bainbridge has spent more than 25 years actively involved in restoring lands across the American Southwest. A Guide for Desert and Dryland Restoration presents the results of his years of fieldwork, as well as research and experience from scientists and practitioners around the globe. The book discusses the ecology of desert plants, explores the causes of desertification and land abuse, and outlines the processes and procedures needed to evaluate, plan, implement, and monitor desert restoration projects. It sets forth economical and practical field-tested solutions for understanding site characteristics, selecting and growing plants, and ensuring that they survive with a minimal amount of water and care. Each chapter represents a guide to a critical topic for environmental restoration; extensive photographs, diagrams and drawings give detailed information for immediate application, and additional resources are included in appendixes. A Guide for Desert and Dryland Restoration is the first comprehensive book focused on restoring arid regions, and clearly demonstrates that arid lands can be successfully rehabilitated. In addition to restorationists, the book will be an invaluable resource for anyone working in arid lands, including farmers, ranchers, gardeners, landscapers, outdoor recreation professionals, and activists.

CytokininsChemistry, Activity, and Function

By: David W. S. Mok,Machteld C. Mok

Cytokinins are hormones involved in all aspects of plant growth and development and are essential for in vitro manipulation of plant cells and tissues. Much information has been gathered regarding the chemistry and biology of cytokinins, while recent studies have focused on the genetics and cytokinin-related genes. However, other than proceedings of symposia, no single volume on cytokinins has been written. This book is the first of its kind, homing in on the key subject areas of cytokinin-chemistry, biosynthesis, metabolism, activity, function, genetics, and analyses. These areas are comprehensively reviewed in individual chapters by experts currently active in the field. In addition, a personal history on the discovery of cytokinin is presented by Professor Folke Skoog. This volume summarizes previous findings and identifies future research directions.

Pest Management and Regulation

By: Wyn P. Grant,David Chandler,Alastair Bailey,Justin Greaves,M. Tatchell,Gillian Prince

Biological controls that utilize natural predation, parasitism or other natural mechanisms, is an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical pesticides. Chemical pesticide methods are becoming less readily available due to increasing resistance problems and the prohibition of some substances. This book addresses the challenges of insufficient information and imperfectly understood regulatory processes in using biopesticides. It takes an interdisciplinary approach providing internationally comparative analyses on the registration of biopesticides and debates future biopesticide practices.
