Sinossi

"Hybrid Plants" offers a comprehensive exploration of how modern biotechnology and traditional breeding techniques combine to create innovative plant varieties. This detailed guide bridges the gap between advanced scientific concepts and practical applications, making it valuable for both researchers and experienced cultivators.

 
The book traces the evolution of plant hybridization from Mendel's foundational experiments to cutting-edge CRISPR technology, while maintaining a clear focus on real-world applications and solutions to contemporary agricultural challenges. The book's three-part structure systematically guides readers through the complex world of hybrid development.

 
Beginning with the scientific foundations of hybridization and genetic principles, it progresses to detailed laboratory and field techniques for creating and stabilizing new hybrids, and concludes with practical cultivation methods and troubleshooting guidance. Notable examples include the development of drought-resistant grains and disease-resistant fruit trees, demonstrating the practical impact of hybrid technology on food security and agricultural sustainability.

 
What sets this work apart is its balanced approach to presenting technical information, combining peer-reviewed research with practical protocols and cultivation guides. The text addresses crucial contemporary issues such as climate adaptation and disease resistance while acknowledging ongoing debates about genetic modification and biodiversity conservation. Through detailed case studies and evidence-based insights from botanical institutions and agricultural research centers, readers gain a thorough understanding of both the potential and limitations of hybrid plant development in modern agriculture.

Diseased: The A to Z of...

Dr Travis Brown

Our understanding of diseases have dramatically changed over human history. Early civilisations believed health and disease were directly caused by the gods. This is why priests and priestesses were also healers and doctors. 
The ancient Greeks introduced the four humours theory, namely that the body was composed of four fluids: blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile. Disease and illness were caused by imbalances. Treatment was to rebalance these fluids. 
Our modern understanding of the human body and diseases began in the 18th century. Scientific observation, theories, and experimentation provided the basis to learn about cancer, bacteria, viruses, medications, surgery, etc.. 
Every disease has a story behind it. This is a book dedicated to finding those stories. Some are funny, some are sad, some are triumphant, and some are tragic, but all are true.

Asteroid YR4 - 11 Ways the World...

Luc Mary

What if... a rogue planet grazed the Earth? the Earth left its orbit? the Earth stopped rotating? a meteorite crashed into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean? the Sun suddenly went out? a supervolcano erupted in the United States? humanity fell victim to a giant solar storm? a neutron star hurtled towards Earth? a black hole the size of a soccer ball grazed Earth? the star Betelgeuse exploded into a supernova? 

These are eleven apocalyptic scenarios exploring an unlikely but possible future. All of these extraordinary events are scientifically credible. Some of these catastrophes have even already occurred in the recent past. Proof of this can be found in the meteorite that crashed into the Yucatán and wiped out the dinosaurs... 

Each scenario is explained by a scientist  recognized in their field.

The Martians - The True Story of...

David Baron

In the early 1900s, many Americans actually believed we had discovered intelligent life on Mars, as bestselling science writer David Baron chronicles in The Martians, his truly bizarre tale of a nation swept up in Mars mania. 
 
 
 
At the center of Baron's historical drama is Percival Lowell, the Boston Brahmin and Harvard scion, who observed "canals" etched into the surface of Mars. Lowell devised a grand theory that the red planet was home to a utopian society that had built gargantuan ditches to funnel precious meltwater from the polar icecaps to desert farms and oasis cities. The public fell in love with the ambitious amateur astronomer who shared his findings in speeches and wildly popular books. 
 
 
 
While at first people treated the Martians whimsically―Martians headlining Broadway shows, biologists speculating whether they were winged or gilled―the discussion quickly became serious. Inventor Nikola Tesla announced he had received radio signals from Mars; Alexander Graham Bell agreed there was "no escape from the conviction" that intelligent beings inhabited the planet. Martian excitement reached its zenith when Lowell financed an expedition to photograph Mars from Chile's Atacama Desert, resulting in what newspapers hailed as proof of the Martian canals' existence.
