Sinopse

"Pearl Growth" explores the fascinating biological process of pearl formation in oysters and mussels, revealing how a tiny irritant transforms into a lustrous gem through biomineralization. The book highlights the complex interplay between biological mechanisms and environmental factors, crucial for understanding nacre deposition—the creation of the pearl's iridescent layers. Readers will gain insights into how mantle epithelial cells orchestrate the precise layering of aragonite crystals and organic matrix proteins, influencing pearl quality.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with the anatomy of pearl-producing mollusks and delving into the formation of the pearl sac. It then meticulously details the impact of environmental conditions like water temperature and salinity on pearl growth, incorporating case studies from global pearl farming regions. This comprehensive approach emphasizes the dynamic interaction between a mollusk's physiology and its environment, offering a unique, integrated perspective valuable for marine biology, aquaculture, and sustainable pearl production.

    Crash and Burn - A CEO's crazy...

    In the cut-throat world of low-cost airlines, competition is the name of the game. Not only up in the air but also on the ground.
    Crash and Burn is an insider's tale of the South African airline industry over the past thirty years and the dramatic collapse of Comair in 2022, as told by Glenn Orsmond, twice CEO of Comair and the founder CEO of 1time. Orsmond takes the reader on a wild ride through the ultra-competitive sector of low-cost airlines that boomed after South African Airways' stranglehold on the skies was loosened in the 1990s. Comair – which operated both Kulula and British Airways – and 1time were at the forefront of this new wave of airlines that saw domestic flying and tourism take off.
    But after some incredible highs and lows, Comair crashed under Orsmond's watch despite the company's 75-year unblemished profit history. The pandemic's impact, the grounding of aeroplanes after a questionable regulator investigation and poor management decisions all contributed to its downfall.
    Expect tales of industry legends and innovation, but also of competitors trying to gut each other, battles between pilots and accountants, unions and bosses at loggerheads, and warfare between shareholders and directors in boardrooms. You'll never think of flying in South Africa in the same way again.

    The 49 routes are grouped into 11 regions, showcasing the remarkable variety of landscapes across Wales. Each route includes 1:40,000-scale maps and elevation profiles, turn-by-turn directions, public transport, parking, and refreshment details, downloadable GPX files, and custom timings for walkers, trekkers, fastpackers and runners.

    Inspirational and insightful, Bread and War is a compelling account of feeding, eating and resistance in wartime Ukraine 
     
    From the military kitchens which cook for soldiers and volunteers, to the chefs who shifted from fine dining to turning out hot meals and loaves of bread for families in need - food has become a central part of Ukraine's war effort. 
     
    Food is a weapon, a lifeline, a means of survival. It's also a powerful symbol of national identity and memory for the millions of people who've been forced from their homes. 
     
    Bread and War tells the extraordinary stories of just some of those people - the army cooks, the bakers, the kitchen volunteers, the charity workers, the refugees and the young chefs who repeatedly reopen cafes after multiple bombings, determined to reclaim Ukrainian food memories after decades of Soviet suppression, driven to keep Ukraine independent in politics and culture.
