Peter J. Gregory, “Plant Roots: Growth, Activity and Interactions with the Soil”
Wiley (April 13, 2006) | ISBN: 1405119063 | 318 pages | PDF | 3,9 Mb

Review
“Each chapter provides detailed discussion backed up by numerous references, diagrams, graphs and tables . . . all of excellent quality. . . I expect Peter Gregory’s very informative book to become the subject’s standard text and in the possession of anyone interested in how roots grow and function.”
Experimental Agriculture

“This marvelous book attempts to cover all aspects of plant root growth. This is a daunting task, but Professor Gregory has been very successful.”

“With this book, we finally have an introductory book on plant roots that can be read, cover-to-cover, by undergraduate and/or graduate students and researchers…”

“This book builds chapter by chapter, leading the reader to a thorough understanding of the impact of roots on the environment and the environment on roots with its many attendant implications.”
Richard W. Zobel in Crop Science, Volume 46, Issue 6, November-December 2006 (Crop Science Society of America)

“This book is very well designed for its target readership in advanced university or college courses that cover soil - plant relationships, as well as soil, plant, agricultural and environmental scientists who are seeking to widen their knowledge of root growth and functions. Like this reviewer, they will find many useful references for further reading. Last, and by no means least, the very clear style of writing means that the book should be attractive to readers whose native language is not english.”
Annals of Botany, 1-2, 2007

“…plant roots are often forgotten even by botanists, who focus instead on foliage laves, frilly flowers, harvested fruit and the finale, and/or starting point, seeds. Author Gregory Peter, Director of the Scottish Crop Research Institute, is a root specialist…[hence]…Root anatomy and function are the subjects of this book. Each chapter provides numerous reverences, diagrams, graphs and tables, and one includes a series of colour photographs. This book will be a useful reference tool for plant, crop and soil scientists, plant physiologists, and ecologists. It will benefit libraries in Universities, agricultural colleges and plant research institutes.”
Dorothea Bedigan in Plant Science Bulletin, Volume 53, Issue 2, July-August 2007.

Book Description
The root system is a vital part of the plant and therefore understanding roots and their functioning is key to agricultural, plant and soil scientists.

In Plant Roots Professor Peter Gregory brings together recent developments in techniques and an improved understanding of plant and soil interactions to present a comprehensive look at this important relationship.

Stephanie Frank Singer, “Linearity, Symmetry, and Prediction in the Hydrogen Atom”
Springer; 1 edition (August 9, 2005) | ISBN: 0387246371 | 398 pages | PDF | 2,1 Mb

“Here is another book which is centered around the SO(4)-invariance of the 1/r potential. the present author always remains on a very solid mathematical ground. The author prepares carefully the mathematical ingredients (Hilbert spaces, Lie groups, Lie algebras, representations). The style of this senior-level undergraduate text is very fluent and in the best sense entertaining.” (Evelyn Weimar-Woods, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1088 (14), 2006)

Book Description

The predictive power of mathematics in quantum phenomena is one of the great intellectual successes of the 20th century. This textbook, aimed at undergraduate or graduate level students (depending on the college or university), concentrates on how to make predictions about the numbers of each kind of basic state of a quantum system from only two ingredients: the symmetry and the linear model of quantum mechanics. This method, involving the mathematical area of representation theory or group theory, combines three core mathematical subjects, namely, linear algebra, analysis and abstract algebra. Wide applications of this method occur in crystallography, atomic structure, classification of manifolds with symmetry, and other areas.

The topics unfold systematically, introducing the reader first to an important example of a quantum system with symmetry, the single electron in a hydrogen atom. Then the reader is given just enough mathematical tools to make predictions about the numbers of each kind of electronic orbital based solely on the physical spherical symmetry of the hydrogen atom. The final chapters address the related ideas of quantum spin, measurement and entanglement.

This user-friendly exposition, driven by numerous examples and exercises, requires a solid background in calculus and familiarity with either linear algebra or advanced quantum mechanics. Linearity, Symmetry, and Prediction in the Hydrogen Atom will benefit students in mathematics, physics and chemistry, as well as a literate general readership.

A separate solutions manual is available to instructors.

Springer Handbook of Enzymes, vol.37 - Class 2 Transferases X
Publisher: Springer | Language: English | ISBN:3540478167 | 625 pages | Data: 2007 | PDF | 2.6 Mb

Description: The objective of the Springer Handbook of Enzymes is to provide in concise form data on enzymes sufficiently well characterized. Data sheets are arranged in their EC-Number sequence. The volumes are arranged according to enzyme classes. Considerable progress has been made in enzymology since the publication of the first edition (published as “Enzyme Handbook”): many enzymes are newly classified or reclassified. In the 2nd edition each entry is correlated with references and one or more source organisms. New datafields are created: “application” and “engineering” (for the properties of enzymes where the sequence has been changed). Altogether the amount of data has doubled so that the 2nd edition will consist of 39 volumes plus synonym index. This collection is an indispensable source of information for researchers in biochemistry, biotechnology, organic and analytical chemistry, and food sciences.

Francisco A. Macias, Juan C.G. Galindo , Jose M. G. Molinillo, “Allelopathy: Chemistry and Mode of Action of Allelochemicals”
CRC; 1 edition (September 25, 2003) | ISBN:0849319641 | 392 pages | PDF | 4,9 Mb

Review
I found that new ideas for my ongoing research were triggered by the contents of the book. [R]eaders will benefit greatly by applying many practical techniques and insights presented in this book . Accordingly, I strongly recommend that scientists and graduate students worldwide, who are doing research on allelopathy, read the book. Finally, I would like to congratulate the editors for publishing such a valuable book. I believe that the book will catalyze more scientists to focus on the chemistry of allelopathy, and it will stimulate interdisciplinary scientists to join this research field.
- Journal of Environmental Quality, Vol. 34, July-Aug. 2005

Book Description
Most, if not all, books on allelopathy cover the ecological, agronomic, and descriptive physiological aspects. And although the amount of papers published on the chemical aspects and mode of action of these compounds continues to rise, there has been, until now, no book available that reflects the latest literature. Written by experts, Allelopathy: Chemistry and Mode of Action of Allelochemicals is the first book to focus on the chemical phenomena of allelopathy. The book discusses the chemicals responsible for the allelopathic phenomena and, closely connected with them, the modes of action of these compounds in the plant. Each chapter is dedicated to a single class of compounds and contains either a methods section describing how to perform the bioassays or references to the appropriate literature. The methods covered include first-line technologies such as proteomic techniques applied to allelopathic studies. Where other books on this subject highlight the “fuzzier” aspects, this one covers the hard science. It explores the latest developments in the field, discusses structure-activity relationships and SAR studies, and provides a foundation for the development of new natural herbicides. Designed as a practical, bench-friendly book, Allelopathy: Chemistry and Mode of Action of Allelochemicals is a convenient, easy-to-use resource that puts the latest information within easy reach.

Wiley-VCH (August 3, 2007) | ISBN:3527406123 | 810 pages | PDF | 4,9 Mb

This highly detailed reference represents an elaborate development of the theory of processing oil and natural gas and its application in the field — indispensable for graduate engineering students and professionals alike. The renowned expert author, a professor at Moscow State University, has ample experience in both lecturing and publishing, albeit in the Russian language. This book is thus the first to provide a translation compiling his extensive knowledge, much of which remained unpublished due to security restrictions in the former Soviet Union.

Based upon and compiled from Professor Sinaiski’s university lectures, the first chapters treat the technical facilities for preparing and processing natural hydrocarbon substances. The following systematic approach go on to explain the behaviors of fluids, gases and droplets separately for solutions, suspensions and emulsions, as well as for gas-liquid mixtures.

The resulting work is of interest both for senior students as well as for engineers working in this field.
