Symbiotic Endophytes By Tessema Kassaw, Julia Frugoli (auth.), Ricardo Aroca (eds.)
2013 | 348 Pages | ISBN: 3642393160 | PDF | 4 MB
This Soil Biology volume examines our current understanding of the mechanisms involved in the beneficial effects transferred to plants by endophytes such as rhizobial, actinorhizal, arbuscular mycorrhizal symbionts and yeasts. Topics presented include how symbiosis starts on the molecular level; chemical signaling in mycorrhizal symbiosis; genomic and functional diversity of endophytes; nitrogen fixation; nutrient uptake and cycling; as well as plant protection against various stress conditions. Further, the use of beneficial microorganisms as biopesticides is discussed, particularly the application of Plant Growth Promoter Rhizobacteria (PGPR) in agriculture with the aim to increase yields.

Ernst Badian - Studies in Greek and Roman History
Basil Blackwell Press | 1964 | ISBN: N/A | English | 296 pages | PDF | 9.35 MB
Great book, difficult to get, for the specialist of Greek and Roman history. Each chapter is unrelated to the others. Badian is simply taking issues that he wants to clarify and works on them, with no regards to actual chronology. Greek themes (Alexander the Great) and Roman themes (Sulla) are intermixed. Therefore you pick and choose which chapter and when to read it. I read it for the chapters on Greek history: Antiochus and Alexander the Great, and other Macedonian issues. Badian is one of these scholars that stresses the fact that the ancient Greeks did not accept the Macedonians as their kin, and he is correct on that in most respects, politically at least though not necessarily culturally (the religion, mythology and language tied the southern Greeks to the Macedonians as much as politics and different economic systems separated them). A great little book by a great Graeco-latinist.

Tim Bergfelder, Lisa Shaw, João Luiz Vieira, "Stars and Stardom in Brazilian Cinema"
English | 2018 | ISBN: 1785338439, 1785332988 | PDF | pages: 303 | 2.7 mb
Despite the recent explosion of scholarly interest in "star studies," Brazilian film has received comparatively little attention. As this volume demonstrates, however, the richness of Brazilian stardom extends well beyond the ubiquitous Carmen Miranda. Among the studies assembled here are fascinating explorations of figures such as Eliane Lage (the star attraction of São Paulo's Vera Cruz studios), cult horror movie auteur Coffin Joe, and Lázaro Ramos, the most visible Afro-Brazilian actor today. At the same time, contributors interrogate the inner workings of the star system in Brazil, from the pioneering efforts of silent-era actresses to the recent advent of the non-professional movie star.

English | ISBN: 0807170194 | 2019 | 272 pages | EPUB | 5 MB
In 1925, Essae Martha Culver, a California librarian, arrived in Louisiana to direct a three-year project funded by the Carnegie Corporation that aimed to introduce public libraries to rural populations. Culver purchased a round-trip ticket, but she never used the second half. Instead, she stayed in Louisiana the rest of her life, working tirelessly to see libraries established in every parish by 1969.

Candace R. Kuby, "Speculative Pedagogies of Qualitative Inquiry"
English | ISBN: 0367250462 | 2019 | 168 pages | EPUB | 5 MB
In Speculative Pedagogies of Qualitative Inquiry, the authors discuss what "inquiry" is and how we teach it ― and if it is even possible to teach. With a proliferation of how-to manuals for doing qualitative research, the time is ripe for a discussion not only on what we teach (curriculum) but also how we teach (pedagogy).
