Summary

There is considerable diversity in polymers extracted from natural sources and much work has been done to classify them according to their physical and chemical properties.
In the second part of this book set, readers will find general information about the physicochemical properties of several naturally occurring polysaccharides followed by a section dedicated to their application in different fields of research and medicine. Key topics in this part include:
chitosan (properties modifications and applications)
microbial biopolymers 
biopolymers present in Brazilian seeds
protein-plastic foams
biopolymer microencapsulation in the food industry
biomedical gels
collagen biomaterials
biopolymer electrospinning
This reference is intended for students of applied chemistry and biochemistry who require information about the properties and applications of polysaccharides (such as chitosan) and other protein-based biopolymers.
Available since: 01/31/2024.
Print length: 430 pages.

    Have you ever looked at the effects of climate change and the apathy of so many around you and wondered, "What are we missing here?" 
     
     
     
    Climate activist Kyle Meyaard-Schaap understands this feeling from personal experience. But in his years of speaking to and equipping Christians to work for climate action, he's seen the trend begin to shift. More and more young Christians are waking up to the realities of climate change. They want to help, but they're not sure how. 
     
     
     
    Through stories from the field, theological and scriptural exploration, and practical advice, Meyaard-Schaap offers hope to Christians paralyzed by the scale of the crisis, helping us turn our paralysis into meaningful action. Following Jesus in a Warming World is a field guide for Christian climate action—one grounded not in a sense of guilt or drudgery, but in the joy of caring for creation.

    This book offers a comprehensive exploration of three interconnected fields that contribute to whole-body health and healing: Integrative Medicine, Clinical Immunology, and Medical Virology. This guide is designed for healthcare professionals, students, and individuals seeking a deeper understanding of how alternative and conventional medicine intersect to promote healing and disease prevention. m 
    The first section focuses on Integrative Medicine, highlighting holistic approaches that combine traditional medical treatments with complementary therapies to support physical, mental, and emotional well-being. 
    The second section delves into Clinical Immunology, exploring the body's immune system, its role in preventing and fighting disease, and how it can be strengthened through natural and medical interventions. 
    The final section covers Medical Virology, offering valuable insights into the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of viral infections — a critical aspect of global health. Together, these three disciplines provide a well-rounded understanding of how the body can heal itself when supported by both modern science and holistic care, making this book an essential resource for anyone dedicated to promoting health and well-being through integrative, immune-focused, and virus-conscious practices.

    Of all the creatures of the deep blue, none is as captivating as the octopus. In Many Things Under a Rock, marine biologist David Scheel investigates four major mysteries about these elusive beings. How can we study an animal with perfect camouflage and secretive habitats? How does a soft and boneless creature defeat sharks and eels, while thriving as a predator of the most heavily armored animals in the sea? How do octopus bodies work? And how does a solitary animal form friendships, entice mates, and outwit rivals? 
     
     
     
    Over the course of his twenty-five years studying octopuses, Scheel has witnessed a sea change in what we know and are able to discover about octopus physiology and behavior—even an octopus's inner life. Here he explores amazing new scientific developments, weaving accounts of his own research, and surprising encounters, with stories and legends of Indigenous peoples that illuminate our relationship with these creatures across centuries. In doing so, he reveals a deep affinity between humans and even the most unusual and unique undersea dwellers. 
     
     
     
    Octopuses are complex, emotional, and cognitive beings. This is the story of what we have learned and what we are still learning about the natural history and wondrous lives of these animals with whom we share our blue planet.

    Is there an answer to the most profound question mankind has been asking itself for as long as there has been consciousness: is there life after death? 
     
    We discover that a technique exists with which we can all travel and journey to "other realities" that exist within us. Through the science of quantum physics, Gardiner shows that ancient man was far more advanced than we previously believed. The author actually undergoes his own experiments to prove the point. 
     
    Is there a universal frequency so perfect that it allows the mind to travel into other realms? Did our ancestors know of this special harmony? How does all this relate to the holographic universe and the concept of quantum entanglement? Does the Great Pyramid hold a real secret to the quantum realm? Are there ancient methods of healing that would benefit mankind? 
     
    In an all-encompassing work, the author uses the science of the day in conjunction with the most ancient of teachings, bringing them into current-day reality. Based on the best-selling book of the same name. 
     
    Join us on this journey in a very special and unique audio book version.
