Marine Ecotoxicology: Current Knowledge and Future Issues is the first unified resource to cover issues related to contamination, responses, and testing techniques of saltwater from a toxicological perspective. With its unprecedented focus on marine environments and logical chapter progression, this book is useful to graduate students, ecotoxicologists, risk assessors, and regulators involved or interested in marine waters. As human interaction with these environments increases, understanding of the pollutants and toxins introduced into the oceans becomes ever more critical, and this book builds a foundation of knowledge to assist scientists in studying, monitoring, and making decisions that affect both marine environments and human health. A team of world renowned experts provide detailed analyses of the most common contaminants in marine environments and explain the design and purpose of toxicity testing methods, while exploring the future of ecotoxicology studies in relation to the world's oceans. As the threat of increasing pollution in marine environments becomes an ever more tangible reality, Marine Ecotoxicology offers insights and guidance to mitigate that threat. - Provides practical tools and methods for assessing and monitoring the accumulation and effects of contaminants in marine environments - Unites world renowned experts in marine ecotoxicology to deliver thorough and diverse perspectives - Builds the foundation required for risk assessors and regulators to adequately assess and monitor the impact of pollution in marine environments - Offers helpful insights and guidance to graduate students, ecotoxicologists, risk assessors, and regulators interested in mitigating threats to marine waters

The Greek pandocheion, Arabic funduq, and Latin fundicum (fondaco) were ubiquitous in the Mediterranean sphere for nearly two millennia. These institutions were not only hostelries for traders and travelers, but also taverns, markets, warehouses, and sites for commercial taxation and regulation. In this highly original study, Professor Constable traces the complex evolution of this family of institutions from the pandocheion in Late Antiquity, to the appearance of the funduq throughout the Muslim Mediterranean following the rise of Islam. By the twelfth century, with the arrival of European merchants in Islamic markets, the funduq evolved into the fondaco. These merchant colonies facilitated trade and travel between Muslim and Christian regions. Before long, fondacos also appeared in southern European cities. This study of the diffusion of this institutional family demonstrates common economic interests and cross-cultural communications across the medieval Mediterranean world, and provides a striking contribution to our understanding of this region.
Cheese Making' presents a fascinating exploration of how science, culture, and craftsmanship converge in the creation of one of humanity's most beloved foods.

The book masterfully weaves together the fundamental chemistry of cheese making with rich cultural traditions, structured in three distinct sections covering scientific foundations, regional traditions, and industry practices. Readers discover how specific environmental conditions led to the development of iconic cheeses - from the hard mountain cheeses of the Alps to the cave-aged blues of Roquefort. The text expertly balances technical information about enzymes, bacteria, and pH levels with engaging cultural insights, making complex concepts accessible to both beginners and experienced cheese makers. What sets this book apart is its holistic approach to the subject, combining food science with cultural anthropology while remaining practical and instructive. Through detailed diagrams, temperature charts, and step-by-step instructions for home cheese making, readers gain both theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills. The author's extensive research, including interviews with cheese makers across four continents, provides a unique perspective on how traditional methods interact with modern innovations, while exploring current challenges such as climate change and regulatory pressures facing the industry.
