The end of the world is a seemingly interminable topic D at least, of course, until it happens. Environmental catastrophe and planetary apocalypse are subjects of enduring fascination and, as ethnographic studies show, human cultures have approached them in very different ways.

In this important new book Rein Raud develops an original theory of culture understood as a loose and internally contradictory system of texts and practices that are shared by intermittent groups of people and used by them to make sense of their life-worlds.

Pierre Bourdieu is arguably the most influential sociologist of the twentieth century, especially since the once common criticisms of his determinism and reproductionism have receded.

Veterinarian's Guide to Maximizing Biopsy Results helps veterinary practitioners in obtaining high-quality biopsy samples, maximizing the results and minimizing the cost.

Dentistry has been undergoing enormous changes, and the field of endodontics has certainly been at the forefront. Recent advances in technology, materials, and equipment have changed the way endodontics is practiced today, thereby facilitating treatments with greater efficiency, precision, and success, ultimately leading to better outcomes.

A New Guide to In vitro Food Functionality Evaluation Principles, Processes, and Modeling There have been a number of books devoted to the assessment of food functionality but, until now, none focused on the increasingly important subject of in vitro food evaluation. With contributions from the world's foremost experts in the field, this comprehensive guide brings readers up to speed with the state-of-the-art in in vitro modeling, from its physiological bases to its current uses and future developments. Food functionality is a broad concept that encompasses nutritional and health functionality, food safety and toxicology, and the diverse visual and organoleptic properties of food. In vitro techniques enhance the evaluation of food functionality by bridging the gap between standard analytical methods - such as chemical or biochemical analysis - and in vivo human testing. Although it is a well-established field, in vitro food testing continues to evolve toward ever - more accurate predictions of in vivo properties and outcomes. Both ethical and highly economical, this approach allows for detailed insights into food functionalities and, therefore, a better understanding of the interactions between food and human physiology. This text: Reviews the core concepts of food functionality and functionality evaluation methodologies Provides an overview of the physiology of the gastrointestinal tract, including host - microbial interactions within it Explores the physiologies of taste, texture, and aroma, and considers how their sensory perception relates to their in vitro modeling and analysis Addresses in vitro models of the digestion and absorption of macronutrients, micronutrients, and phytonutrients Describes in vitro evaluations of toxicants, allergens, and other specific food hazards Functional Foods and Beverages is an indispensable resource for food scientists, researchers, and anyone involved with the tracking of food safety.

Climate change, natural disasters, and loss of biodiversity are all considered major environmental concerns for the international community both now and into the future. Each are damaging to the earth, but they also negatively impact human lives, especially those of women.

Bruno Latour is among the most important figures in contemporary philosophy and social science. His ethnographic studies have revolutionized our understanding of areas as diverse as science, law, politics and religion.

Global Media Studies is unique in its coverage of places, peoples, institutions, and discourses. Toby Miller and Marwan M. Kraidy provide a comprehensive how-to guide to the study of media, going far beyond the established English-language literature and drawing on the best methods and research from around the world.

In this book leading cultural anthropologist Anton Blok sheds new light on the lives and achievements of pioneers who revolutionized science and art over the past five centuries, demonstrating that adversity rather than talent alone was crucial to their success.

In the midst of the current ecological crisis, there is often lofty talk of the need for humanity to overcome its divisions and work together to tackle the big challenges of our time. But as this new book by Razmig Keucheyan shows, the real picture is very different.

This the first of a new three-part series in which Antonio Negri, a leading political thinker of our time, explores key ideas that have animated radical thought and examines some of the social and economic forces that are shaping our world today.

Russian annexation of Crimea and the subsequent air campaign over Syria took the world by surprise. The capabilities and efficiency of Putin's armed forces during both operations signalled to the world that Russia was back in business as a significant military actor on the international stage.

Today's economic system premised on the sale of physical goods does not fit the information age we live in. The capitalist order requires the maintenance of an artificial scarcity in goods that have the potential for near infinite and almost free replication.

Until quite recently, almost no philosophers trained in the continental tradition saw anything of value in realism. The situation in analytic philosophy was always different, but in continental philosophy realism was usually treated as a pseudo-problem. That is no longer the case.

These essaysexplore the relationship between artistic and technological advances from the Renaissance to the Industrial Revolution. Together they provide a broad definition of technology for this period and address the influence of technological shifts on the history of early modern art.

Horticultural Reviews presents state-of-the-art reviews on topics in horticultural science and technology covering both basic and applied research. Topics covered include the horticulture of fruits, vegetables, nut crops, and ornamentals.

This is a ground-breaking examination of the role and significance of the British House of Commons during the Tudor period. Written by a noted scholar, it utilizes new scholarship, archival research, and never-before-published images to enhance our understanding of the period.

An inspiring introduction to a vital scientific field. The reader is taken through ten mathematical derivations that lead to important results, explaining in a hands-on manner the key concepts and methods of theoretical population genetics. The derivations are carefully worked out and easy to follow.

Wood Deterioration, Protection and Maintenance provides an up to date discussion of the natural durability of wood, wood degradation processes, and methods of structural and chemical protection of wood.

Atlas of Clinical Imaging and Anatomy of the Equine Head presents a clear and complete view of the complex anatomy of the equine head using cross-sectional imaging.

The book will comprise a detailed examination of faults and flaws that can impact upon the quality of wines. There are some faults that render wines unsaleable and undrinkable and others that have a negative effect upon quality and enjoyment. Each fault is discussed as follows: 1.

A Handbook to the Reception of Classical Mythology presents a collection of essays that explore a wide variety of aspects of Greek and Roman myths and their critical reception from antiquity to the present day.

The book is structured into 2 parts: Part 1: Overview of microscopy techniques and software used for microstructural analysesDifferent types of the following techniques are discussed in detail: light microscopy (including bright field, polarised and confocal scanning laser microscopy) and electron microscopy (mainly scanning and transmission electron microscopy). The description of these techniques also includes the staining procedures and sample preparation methods developed. Emerging microscopy techniques are also covered, reflecting the latest advances in this field. Part 2: Microstructure of various dairy foodsThis part is divided into sections related to the microstructure of milk, cheeses, yoghurts, powders and fat products. In addition, there is a review of the localisation of microorganism within the microstructure of various dairy products.

The past 25 years has seen the emergence of a wealth of data suggesting that novel biological functions of known proteins play important roles in biology and medicine. This ability of proteins to exhibit more than one unique biological activity is known as protein moonlighting.
