Livestock farming is the rearing of animals for food and other human uses. The livestock sector provides meat, dairy and eggs, as well as wool and leather. This text discusses the evolution of livestock production systems, the future of livestock, and potential problems.

Deals with the appearance and management of plants with different traits occurring as weeds on arable land. Weeds are plants growing in the wrong place. By using techniques to control weeds you reduce the chance that weed species will adapt to the control techniques, which is likely if only one technique is used.

Provides an introduction to horticulture. Horticulture is the science and art of producing, improving, marketing, and using fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants. It differs from botany and other plant sciences in that horticulture incorporates both science and aesthetics.

Offers an introduction to pesticides. The term pesticide covers a wide range of compounds including insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, rodenticides, molluscicides, nematicides, plant growth regulators and others. A pesticide can be a naturally derived or synthetically produced substance.

Provides an itroduction to farm management. The term farm management means different things to different people. Some take it to be another name of production economics or agricultural economics, while others consider farm management as nothing more than the farmer's art of carrying out the daily work of supervision of farm.

Explores the possibilities for effective and sustainable fisheries management across the globe. Fisheries management draws on fisheries science in order to find ways to protect fishery resources so sustainable exploitation is possible.

Covers selection, breeding, crop productivity, seed production, organic cover crops, crop technology transpiration, field crops research, and crop and irrigation technology, research and development of production techniques, improving agriculture productivity, and minimizing the effects of pests.

Provides an introduction to marine biology. Marine biology is the scientific study of organisms in the ocean or other marine bodies of water. Given that in biology many phyla, families, and genera have some species that live in the sea and others that live on land, marine biology classifies species based on the environment rather than on taxonomy.

Photosynthesis is the process used by plants, algae and certain bacteria to harness energy from sunlight into chemical energy. It is one example of how people and plants are dependent on each other in sustaining life. This text provides a thorough introduction to photosynthesis.

Provides an introduction to the subject of agricultural engineering. Agricultural engineers develop methods and design equipment for land preparation, planting and harvesting. They incorporate automation, precision and smart technologies to optimize efficiency, sustainability, and the reliability of the food, feed, fibre and fuel economy.

Botany is the scientific study of plants. Plants, means a wide range of living organisms from the smallest bacteria to the largest living things - the giant sequoia trees. Whether you call it botany, plant science or plant biology, it is one of the world's oldest natural sciences. By this definition plants include: algae, fungi, lichens, mosses, ferns, conifers and flowering plants.

Stem cells are mother cells that have the potential to become any type of cell in the body. One of the main characteristics of stem cells is their ability to self-renew or multiply while maintaining the potential to develop into other types of cells. This text offers an introduction to the biology of stem cells.

Biology is the study of the diverse forms, processes, and systems of life including microbes, fungi, plants, and animals. Biologists work in all natural environments, and agricultural and clinical venues. This text provides a grasp of the structure of evolutionary theory, the evidence for it, and the scope of its explanatory significance.

Plant stress is considered a relative term because the experimental design to assess the impact of a stress always involves the measurement of a physiological phenomenon in a plant species under a suboptimal, stress condition compared to the measurement of the same physiological phenomenon in the same plant species under optimal conditions.

Cells divide and reproduce in two ways: mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is a process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells, developing from a single parent cell. Meiosis is the division of a germ cell, involving two fissions of the nucleus and giving rise to four gametes, or sex cells, each possessing half the number of chromosomes of the original cell.

Computational biology has soared from being an auxiliary discipline to being a crucial element for progress in practically all aspects of the biological sciences. It has been used to help sequence the human genome, create accurate models of the human brain, and assist in modeling biological systems. This volume provides an introduction to the subject.

Examines the structure and classification of parasites and the mechanisms of parasitic diseases. The book also describes specific human parasites and the diseases they cause. Emphasis is placed throughout on the basic biology of the pathogens and their host-parasite relationships

Biochemistry is the application of chemistry to the study of biological processes at the cellular and molecular level. It emerged as a distinct discipline around the beginning of the 20th century when scientists combined chemistry, physiology and biology to investigate the chemistry of living systems. This book explores the basic principles of biochemistry.

Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteomes. A proteome is a set of proteins produced in an organism, system, or biological context. The proteome is not constant; it differs from cell to cell and changes over time. This text is intended to give the molecular biologist a rudimentary understanding of the technologies behind proteomics and their application to address biological questions.

Provides an introduction to cell biology. Cell biology studies the different structures and functions of the cell and focuses mainly on the idea of the cell as the basic unit of life. Cell biology explains the structure, organisation of the organelles they contain, their physiological properties, metabolic processes, signaling pathways, life cycle, and interactions with their environment.

Provides an introduction to microbiology. Microbiology is the study of all living organisms that are too small to be visible with the naked eye. This includes bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungi, prions, protozoa and algae, collectively known as "microbes". These microbes play key roles in nutrient cycling, biodegradation, climate change, the cause and control of disease, and biotechnology.

An introductory text covering the fundamentals of molecular biology. Molecular biology is the field of biology that studies the composition, structure and interactions of cellular molecules such as nucleic acids and proteins that carry out the biological processes essential for the cells functions and maintenance.

Enzymes are macromolecules that act as organic catalysts in most of the organism's biochemical reactions that have functions indispensable to maintenance and activity of life. It is crucial to note that reaction rates of certain chemical conversions occurring in living organisms are extremely low, and catalysis is necessary to maintain reasonable time of cell development and division.

Genetics is the study of how heritable traits are transmitted from parents to offspring. Heredity is a biological process where a parent passes certain genes onto their children or offspring. Every child inherits genes from both of their biological parents and these genes in turn express specific traits. This text provides a clear, balanced, and comprehensive introduction to genetics and genomics.

Offers an introduction to bacteriology. Bacteriology is the study of bacteria. Bacteria are microscopic organisms composed of a single cell. Bacteriology has explored the positive and negative impact of bacteria in the environment and in human beings.

Traditionally biological studies examined individual systems in detail, and compared them with a few that were related. In bioinformatics, we can now conduct global analyses of all the available data with the aim of uncovering common principles that apply across many systems and highlight novel feature.

Provides an introduction to biotechnology. Biotechnology is technology that utilizes biological systems, living organisms or parts of this to develop or create different products. Biotechnology is a broad discipline in which biological processes, organisms, cells or cellular components are exploited to develop new technologies.

Biodegradation and microbial transformation reactions are the most important processes determining environmental fate and ultimate elimination of environmental pollutants. Environmental biochemistry is concerned with studying the microbial metabolism of pollutants with an emphasis on explaining metabolites and critical metabolic reactions.

Proteins are large, complex molecules essential for the normal function of the human body, specifically in the structure, function and regulation of tissues and organs. They are made up of hundreds of smaller units called amino acids that are attached to one another by peptide bonds, forming a long chain. This volume provides an introduction to amino acids.

An invertebrate is any animal that lacks a vertebral column, or backbone, in contrast to the cartilaginous or bony vertebrates. More than 90 percent of all living animal species are invertebrates. This book summarises the results of worldwide research into recent developments in all classes of invertebrate zoology.
