Bacterial Genomes - Trees And Networks

de Aswin Sai Narain Seshasayee

~~7,49€~~ 5,99€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Microbes form the “unseen majority” of life on Earth, with bacteria at the forefront as both the architects of life’s chemical foundations and agents of disease. But their story is far more complex. Bacteria thrive in diverse and extreme environments, driven by the dynamic evolution of their genomes. These tiny organisms wield an extraordinary ability to adapt, balancing genetic changes across generations with rapid physiological responses to environmental shifts. In Bacterial Genomes, the evolutionary and regulatory processes that shape bacterial life are brought to life. This textbook offers a conceptual exploration of how bacterial genomes are organized, how they evolve, and how their genetic information is interpreted through intricate molecular networks. Drawing on both cutting-edge research and the historical milestones that shaped microbiology, it illuminates how bacteria navigate the intersection of genetic adaptation and ecological resilience. Designed for college students, interdisciplinary researchers, and even the determined amateur, Aswin Seshasayee moves beyond technical jargon to provide a thought-provoking synthesis of bacterial evolution and adaptation. Unlike traditional genomics texts, this book blends historical insights with contemporary discoveries, offering a fresh perspective on the role of bacteria in shaping the living world.

de Olaf Fritsche e Susanne Foitzik

~~14,71€~~ 11,77€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 "Beautifully illustrated with color photographs, the book offers a view into parallels between seemingly out-of-this-world ant societies and our own, including cities, an intense work ethic, division of labor, intragroup cooperation combined with genocidal outgroup warfare, even a kind of to-the-death national loyalty. The authors' scientific rigor is matched by their joy in their subjects."-The Wall Street JournalShortlisted for the 2022 Helen and Kurt Wolff Translator's PrizeThis sweeping portrait of the world's uncontested six-legged conquerors will open your eyes to the secret societies thriving right beneath your feet and shift your perspective on humanity. The closer you get to ants, the more human they look. Ants build megacities, tend gardens, wage wars, and farm livestock. Ants have flourished since theage of the dinosaurs. There are one million ants for every one of us. Engineered by nature to fulfill their particular roles, ants flawlessly perform a complex symphony of tasks to sustain their colony seemingly without a conductor from fearsome army ants, who stage twelve-hour hunting raids where they devour thousands, to gentle leafcutters cooperatively gardening in their peaceful underground kingdoms. Acclaimed biologist Susanne Foitzik has traveled the globe to study these master architects of Earth. Joined by journalist Olaf Fritsche, Foitzik invites readers deep into her world in both the field and the lab. Exploring these insects' tiny yet incredible lives will inspire new respect for ants as a global superpower. Publisher's note: Planet of the Ants was previously published in hardcover as Empire of Ants.

Mycology For Architecture - Methods And Applications Of Mycelium Materials In The Built Environment

~~128,69€~~ 102,95€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Mycology for Architecture explores how mycelium - the root network of fungi - as a living material is transforming architecture into a discipline that is not only sustainable but regenerative, adaptive and deeply entangled with ecological systems. Bringing together leading researchers, practitioners and educators, it charts how living matter is reshaping the way we conceive, fabricate and inhabit built environments. Organised in three parts, the book begins by positioning mycelium as an alternative to conventional construction materials, with applications ranging from bricks and skins to adaptive structures and even space habitats. The second part turns to the methods and practices of working with living fungi, from laboratory protocols and workshop formats to experimental pedagogies that challenge conventional design education. The final section showcases advanced fabrication strategies that push the limits of mycelium composites toward sustainable, scalable futures. By weaving together theory, fabrication and pedagogy, this book presents biodesign as a critical method rather than a speculative novelty. It invites architects, designers and researchers to rethink material assemblies and to embrace nonlinear, adaptive processes as integral to a more just, climate-responsive future. Importance: the climate crisis, resource scarcity, and the urgent need for sustainable materials make it essential to reconsider how we design and build. Mycelium offers a renewable, biodegradable, low-carbon alternative to conventional materials like plastics and foams. Useful: mycelium is not just a theoretical concept - it is already being applied in packaging, product design and prototyping. Extending it to architecture opens applications in insulation, acoustics, lightweight structures and carbon-negative systems. New: while there has been growing interest in biodesign, no dedicated architectural text has focused exclusively on mycelium. This book fills that gap, showing how this living system can be cultivated, shaped and integrated into building practices. It also highlights cutting-edge methods in digital fabrication, biotechnology and space exploration research. Exciting: mycelium blurs the boundaries between biology and architecture & design, opening new aesthetic and functional possibilities. Designing with living systems challenges conventional thinking, encourages creativity and inspires visions of a more sustainable and symbiotic future. For students, researchers, and professionals, the field is still emerging - making this a rare opportunity to engage with a discipline as it develops in real time. What makes this book unique is its interdisciplinary authorship. None ...

Microbial Ecology In Sustainable Agroecosystems

~~74,19€~~ 59,35€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 While soil ecologists continue to be on the forefront of research on biodiversity and ecosystem function, there are few interdisciplinary studies that incorporate ecological knowledge into sustainable land management practices. Conventional, high fossil-fuel input-based agricultural systems can reduce soil biodiversity, alter soil community structure and nutrient cycling, and lead to greater dependence on energy-intensive practices.Microbial Ecology in Sustainable Agroecosystems brings together soil ecologists, microbial ecologists, and agroecologists working globally to demonstrate how research in soil ecology can contribute to the long-term sustainability of agricultural systems. The book identifies five key areas of research that can be combined to support and direct sustainable land management practices: agriculture, biodiversity, ecosystem services, integrated soil ecology research, and policy.Topics include: A broad range of soil microbial processes in terms of the importance of microbial heterogeneity Inputs by soil microorganisms into wheat-farming systems The importance of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in making nutrients more available to crops The benefits and environmental problems associated with the use of crops genetically modified with Bacillus thuringiensis The incorporation of soil ecological or microbial ecological theory into agricultural practice to improve agricultural productivity and sustainability Challenges in sustainable agricultural research and the need for coalescing new avenues of research in agriculture and soil ecology The contributors range from long-time ecological researchers to graduate students and early career scientists, representing a wide spectrum of experience, ages, diversity, and research interests in this area. They cover the diversity and complexity of microbial activity and interactions in soil systems and the many ways in which microorganisms may be manipulated and managed to improve the functions of crop rhizospheres and thereby maximize crop yields and overall productivity. These recommendations can be used to direct and influence agricultural and environmental policy and guide future research in sustainable agricultural systems management.
