Plants from Test Tubes

An Introduction to Micropropogation

By: Lydiane Kyte,John Kleyn,Holly Scoggins,Mark Bridgen

Thirty years ago, in vitro propagation was a new technique for producing plants, and Lydiane Kyte’s Plants from Test Tubes became the standard work on the topic. The new fourth edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the many advances in science and technology, including the five accepted sequential stages of micropropagation. Ten new plants have been added. This in turn has greatly expanded the already extensive bibliography. Among the new topics that have been introduced or expanded on are embryo culture for breeding, somaclonal variation, anther culture, somatic embryogenesis, cryopreservation, and genetic engineering. More ornamental plant examples are given and many new illustrations provided, including a chronology of discoveries in micropropagation.

East Brunswick

By: Mark Nonestied

Located in central Middlesex County, East Brunswick is a community of more than 40,000 people. Once part of North Brunswick, it broke away and incorporated as a separate entity in 1860. The city has both an agrarian history and well-defined neighborhoods with fascinating architecture and interesting characters; it has been home to nationally known artist J.C. Thom and noteworthy author Henrietta Christian Wright. This once-rural farming community is now a large, suburban township that takes pride in its ethnic diversity and cultural background. In this new addition to the Images of America series, rare images of this New Jersey township come to life, celebrating the community's rich heritage. Many of the images featured in this collection have been generously contributed by local families and the East Brunswick Museum Corporation.

Exploring British Politics

By: Mark Garnett,Peter Dorey,Patrick Diamond

Exploring British Politics is a concise, comprehensive, and accessible guide to the subject. Fully updated and revised, the new edition covers developments since 2016 in the role of the executive, parliament, the civil service, political parties, general elections, party ideology, and membership, as well as examining turmoil and leadership battles within the Labour and Conservative parties, the politics of growing inequality, public action and reaction, demographic trends and their political consequences, and the future of the UK itself. Stimulating critical analysis and lively debate, it provides new perspectives on two key themes – the health of British democracy and the transition from traditional models of government to more flexible forms of ‘governance’. Key features include: Comprehensive analysis of the 2019 general election, Brexit developments since the 2016 Referendum to today’s ongoing impacts, and the shadow cast by the COVID-19 global pandemic and its implications; Topical coverage of the fall of the Truss leadership, the new Johnson and Sunak era, the rise and fall of the ‘Change UK’ party, the economic crisis, the role of special advisers, new social movements such as Extinction Rebellion and Black Lives Matter, and much more; Extensive guides to further reading at the end of each chapter; Richly illustrated through examples and data, often visually represented; Online support in the form of a comprehensive website with additional content. Whilst the book provides an essential historical background, contemporary issues are to the fore throughout and readers are encouraged to assess critically received wisdoms and develop their own thoughts and ideas.

Conservative Governments, Morality and Social Change in Affluent Britain, 1957-64

By: Mark Jarvis

[During the 1960s] a society of different lifestyles spawned a group of young people who were brought up without parental discipline, without proper role models and without any sense of responsibility to or for others' - Tony Blair, July 2004In this fascinating and timely book, Mark Jarvis explores the validity of such notions, together with related views held by those who blame British moral decline on legislation enacted by Harold Wilson's governments. This book strongly challenges this perspective, arguing that it was actually Harold Macmillan's Conservative administrations which introduced social legislation that would be termed 'permissive'. The dilemma faced by the Tories was clear: Macmillan encouraged affluence and presided over a Britain that had more money to spend on pursuing pleasure, but how could government manage this demand while still conserving traditional social bonds? Jarvis discusses some of the most controversial social issues faced by the conservative administration at the time, from crime, gambling, drinking, homosexuality, prostitution, pornography, to Sunday observance and the challenges imposed by the new medium of television. This revolution still reverberates in Britain today, and this book will make fascinating reading for those looking at British society in the 1960s, as well as those looking for a historical perspective on related contemporary issues.

The End Game for the New World Order

By: Mark Loughman

Daniel Brakefluid is a comedian with a cynical view of geopolitics. After a TV special in 1999 in which he tries to expose the New World Order, he is hit by a car and left for dead. In 2024, Danny comes out of his command finds himself in a completely unrecognisable digital world. The 24-hr surveillance, censorship and loss of human rights that the masses seem oblivious to are profoundly obvious to him, so he feels an urgent obligation to alert them. He didn't know it then, but he now finds out that he has a 25-year old son who has unfortunately fallen for the mainstream media propaganda and succumbed to this mass mind control. Danny knew the end game was to fuse mankind with AI, and he'd soon discover that it was being done by administering nanotechnology through fake vaccines. Those who survived the procedure would eventually become an easily controlled non-binary race that would exist solely to facilitate the needs of this global cabal. He had to find a way to free his son from this hypnosis before it was too late.

Retirement, Pensions and Justice

A Philosophical Analysis

By: Mark Hyde,Rory Shand

This book addresses the tendency to mischaracterise liberalism as a “neoliberal” reform project, arguing that liberal political philosophy is concerned only to sustain the conditions that make individual freedom possible. This is illustrated with reference to the design of pensions. Considered in terms of liberal justice, retirement systems require redistributive transfers to help the poor, measures to ensure that retirees are rewarded on their merits, and provisions that treat everyone with equal dignity and respect. Rather than presenting liberal pensions as a close analogue to neoliberalism, this volume highlights their egalitarian virtues. This book will appeal to scholars of retirement and pensions, social policy, economics and political philosophy.

Ancestral Chains (DNA Part III of VIII) Allden Bloodline

By: Mark D Bishop

Fanciful stories of rags-to-riches are fascinating. Yet, when such is part & parcel of one's ancestry, it becomes real. Having known physical hardship in the back-to-backs of Birmingham, great-grandfather Allden determined never to be poor again. An inherent ability in mental arithmetic was to play a major role in the family Commission Agent business; but did the gamble pay off? The Industrial Revolution is never far away in Birmingham & the Black Country, where the Alldens played their part in firing up and arming the nation. Jockeying around was also a major pastime and a money earner for the boys. Complex family relationships also set the scene when it was better to keep Mum; but lose her they did. A fun-loving Step-Mum & private education stepped in, but did the Alldens find their middle-class roots again. From whence did they hail & why had they fallen? Ancestry is but a game of Snakes & Ladders, so did the Alldens win in the end? Also, is there more of the Allden in the author than he cares to admit?
