Summary

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.

    10 Ways the World Could End -...

    Our planet is an extraordinary place, teeming with life and natural wonders. Yet, beneath the beauty and stability of our world lies an inherent fragility that we must never overlook. From the forces of nature to the actions of humanity, numerous threats exist that could drastically alter the course of life on Earth. These dangers range from natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions and asteroid impacts to man-made catastrophes like nuclear war and the consequences of climate change. While these events may seem distant or improbable, they are very real and have the potential to affect us all in profound ways. 
    To fully grasp the magnitude of these threats, it is crucial to understand how they arise and their potential consequences. Many of the dangers that could lead to the end of the world are rooted in forces that have shaped our planet for millions of years. However, modern society faces new, unique risks that previous generations never imagined. Natural disasters, though unpredictable, are part of the Earth's natural cycles, while human actions—whether through pollution, warfare, or technological mismanagement—have introduced entirely new categories of risk. As technology advances and our global interconnectedness grows, the potential for widespread disaster becomes more complex and difficult to anticipate. 
    When examining the ways the world could end, it is essential to distinguish between natural and man-made catastrophes. Natural disasters, like earthquakes, tsunamis, and pandemics, have been occurring throughout Earth's history, long before humans arrived on the scene. These events have shaped ecosystems, driven evolutionary processes, and, at times, caused mass extinctions. On the other hand, man-made catastrophes, such as nuclear warfare or the unchecked expansion of artificial intelligence, are unique to modern civilization.

    A fast-paced account of a giant of twentieth century medicine, First the Patient details how David Nathan saved patients with his medical skill and rescued institutions with his visionary leadership. 
     
     
     
    The miraculous triumphs of modern medicine—antibiotics, insulin, cancer cures, longer and better lives—are the fruits of its firm grounding in science. But too often, the healing touch, the empathy of a physician for the patient, and the art of medicine, can be neglected in pursuit of breakthroughs. 
     
     
     
    David Nathan never accepted that bargain. A brilliant hematologist thoroughly steeped in scientific rigor with a research track record to prove it, Nathan was above all a humanist, a caring physician who never failed to put the patient first even when that patient was his research subject. This same humanism, along with the profound psychological insights it affords, propelled Nathan to the top ranks of academic leadership. He served first at Boston Children's Hospital, then at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute where, as president, he rescued a hospital on the brink of extinction after its doctors administered a fatal chemotherapy overdose. First the Patient is the story of a physician who left an indelible imprint on medicine through his relentless focus on the patient.
