Sinopse

Heavy metal pollution represents a global challenge to both public health and environmental sustainability.  Any means to reduce heavy metal pollution in the environment is of considerable economic significance. The use of green plants to clean up heavy metal pollution is an environmentally friendly as well as a low-cost approach to the problem. This plant-based biotechnology is commonly known as ‘phytoremediation’. Presently, there is limited application of this technology because useful plants with enhanced heavy metal resistance/tolerance are still needed to assist remediation of environments polluted with heavy metals. A key to improved phytoremediation of heavy metal pollution lies in research seeking for a better understanding of the mechanism(s) of heavy metal resistance/tolerance in plants. This E-book presents a unique treatment of the topics that have never been comprehensively brought together before in a single advanced reference. The volume explores aspects of plant biology that are critical for employing phytoremedation techniques to combat heavy metal contamination such as the specific plant biology, seed biology, plant tissue culture and enzymology. This E-book will be a useful reference to plant biologists, biotechnologists and environmental engineers seeking information about phytoremediation of heavy metals from the environment.

    Water is the essence of life — yet across the world, it’s vanishing. Rivers are drying, aquifers collapsing, and once-fertile plains turning to dust. From Cape Town to California, scarcity is no longer a distant threat but a daily reality. 
    In The Thirsting Earth, Alex Southwick journeys across a planet running out of its most vital resource. Through powerful reportage and vivid human stories, Southwick uncovers the fault lines where drought, politics, and inequality collide — and where innovation and resilience are beginning to take root. 
    We meet the communities reviving ancient water-harvesting traditions, scientists reimagining desalination, and activists fighting to reclaim water as a common good rather than a commodity. Together, they offer a glimpse of a future where survival depends not on conquest of nature, but on collaboration with it. 
    Urgent, humane, and unforgettable, The Thirsting Earth is both a warning and a testament — a chronicle of crisis, and a call to rediscover our most elemental connection to the world.

    Long before we had names for them, the stars told us stories. They shimmered in the night sky, seemingly eternal, guiding ancient travelers and inspiring mythologies. But as science advanced, we discovered that what we saw was only part of the story. A vast, invisible component of the universe lurked beyond the reach of our eyes and instruments—a hidden mass that neither emitted nor reflected light. This was the beginning of our encounter with dark matter and dark energy. 
    In the early 20th century, astronomers began to notice something strange. When they looked at galaxies and observed how stars within them moved, they found that these stars were traveling at speeds that didn’t make sense. Based on the visible matter alone—the stars, gas, and dust—the galaxies should have been flying apart. There simply wasn’t enough gravitational pull to hold them together. Something unseen had to be providing the extra mass needed to bind them. 
    This mysterious substance was dubbed "dark matter." It didn't shine or absorb light, making it completely invisible to traditional telescopes. Yet its gravitational effects were undeniable. It was as if galaxies were embedded in massive halos of invisible material, holding them together with unseen hands. The concept was both unsettling and thrilling—it suggested that the universe was much stranger than we had ever imagined.

    Brian Clegg's acclaimed popular science book Inflight Science explored the science experienced on a plane flight. Interstellar Tours takes that concept and goes large. It takes the reader on a tour of our galaxy on the starship Endurance. 
     
    That vessel itself is science fiction. But the phenomena you will visit, from the vast nebulae that are birthplaces of stars to stellar explosions in vast supernovas, creating the elements necessary for life - or from the planets of other solar systems to the unbelievably supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way - all reflect the best picture that current science has to offer. 
     
    Accompanying Interstellar Tours is an online gallery with over 50 images and videos in full colour, each directly accessible from the page using QR codes.
