Sinopsis

Plants Steal Genes unveils the surprising role of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in plant evolution, demonstrating how plants acquire genes from bacteria, fungi, and other species, rather than solely from their ancestors. This challenges the traditional "tree of life" concept, suggesting a more interconnected web where genetic information flows laterally. Understanding HGT is vital, especially considering its implications for plant biotechnology and agriculture. 

 
For instance, HGT contributes to the spread of herbicide resistance, a major concern in crop management. The book meticulously builds its case, beginning with the history of HGT research and the molecular mechanisms behind it. Case studies illustrate HGT events in diverse plant species, focusing on traits like stress tolerance and pathogen defense. 

 
The evolutionary consequences of this genetic acquisition are then analyzed, emphasizing its impact on plant genomes, adaptation, and even speciation. This approach makes complex topics accessible to a broad audience interested in science, life sciences, biology, and biotechnology.

    From the activist who coined the term comes a primer on intersectional environmentalism for the next generation of activists looking to create meaningful, inclusive, and sustainable change. The Intersectional Environmentalist examines the inextricable link between environmentalism, racism, and privilege, and promotes awareness of the fundamental truth that we cannot save the planet without uplifting the voices of its people -- especially those most often unheard. Written by Leah Thomas, a prominent voice in the field and the activist who coined the term "Intersectional Environmentalism," this book is simultaneously a call to action, a guide to instigating change for all, and a pledge to work towards the empowerment of all people and the betterment of the planet. Thomas shows how not only are Black, Indigenous and people of color unequally and unfairly impacted by environmental injustices, but she argues that the fight for the planet lies in tandem to the fight for civil rights; and in fact, that one cannot exist without the other. An essential read, this book addresses the most pressing issues that the people and our planet face, examines and dismantles privilege, and looks to the future as the voice of a movement that will define a generation.

    Cities are fundamentally exercises in spatial organization—complex arrangements of human activity, physical infrastructure, and natural systems that collectively define how metropolitan regions function, evolve, and adapt. The geographic logic of urban environments—how different uses are distributed, how resources are allocated, and how communities develop within specific physical contexts—represents one of the most profound expressions of human social organization and values. This comprehensive exploration delves into the intricate domains of Urban Geography, Urban Land Use, and Community Development—examining how spatial patterns emerge, how they reflect deeper social and economic forces, and how they ultimately shape the lived experiences of urban inhabitants. 
    The narrative of urban spatial organization is far more than a technical study of land allocation; it encompasses the dynamic interactions between physical geography, economic systems, social forces, and political decisions that collectively determine the form and function of our cities. By examining the complex mechanisms that drive urban spatial development—from market dynamics and zoning regulations to community activism and cultural preferences—this book illuminates how cities represent physical manifestations of our collective choices, priorities, and power structures. Readers will journey through diverse urban landscapes—from the historic patterns of concentric development to the fragmented geographies of postindustrial cities and the emerging forms of sustainable urbanism—while exploring how community development initiatives seek to reshape urban spaces to better serve human needs.

    “A careful overview of the structure of the Milky Way Galaxy, with informative asides into the history of astronomy, galaxy formation and evolution." —Gerry Gilmore, University of CambridgeThis book offers an intimate guide to the Milky Way, taking readers on a grand tour of our home Galaxy's structure, genesis, and evolution, based on the latest astronomical findings. In engaging language, it tells how the Milky Way congealed from blobs of gas and dark matter into a spinning starry abode brimming with diverse planetary systems—some of which may be hosting myriad life forms and perhaps even other technologically communicative species.William Waller vividly describes the Milky Way as it appears in the night sky, acquainting readers with its key components and telling the history of our changing galactic perceptions. Within the Milky Way, ground-based and space-borne telescopes have revealed that our Solar System is not alone. Hundreds of other planetary systems share our tiny part of the vast Galaxy. We reside within a galactic ecosystem that is driven by the theatrics of the most massive stars as they blaze through their brilliant lives and dramatic deaths. Similarly, effervescent ecosystems of hot young stars and fluorescing nebulae delineate the graceful spiral arms in our Galaxy's swirling disk. Beyond the disk, the spheroidal halo hosts the ponderous—and still mysterious—dark matter that outweighs everything else. Another dark mystery lurks deep in the heart of the Milky Way, where a supermassive black hole has produced bizarre phenomena seen at multiple wavelengths.Waller makes the case that our very existence is inextricably linked to the Galaxy that spawned us.

    Based on extensive primary research conducted over more than fifteen years, this book documents the differential contribution of HP's successive CEOs in sustaining the company's integral process of becoming. It uses a comprehensive strategic leadership framework to examine and explain the role of the CEO: (1) defining and executing the key tasks of strategic leadership, and (2) developing four key elements of the company's strategic leadership capability. 
     
     
     
    The study of the strategic leadership of HP's successive CEOs revealed the paradox of corporate becoming, the existential situation facing successive CEOs (that justifies the book's empathic approach), and the importance of the CEO's ability to harness the company's past while also driving its future. Building on these insights, the book shows how the frameworks used to conceptualize the tasks of strategic leadership and the development of strategic leadership capability can serve as steps toward a dynamic theory of strategic leadership that animates an evolutionary framework of corporate becoming. This framework will be helpful for further theory development about strategic leadership and also offers practical tools for founders of new companies and CEOs and boards of directors of existing companies who intend to create, run, or oversee companies built for continued relevance, longevity, and greatness.
