Product Details
* Hardcover: 504 pages

* Language: English
* ISBN-10: 0849311187

Book Description
Fungi have come into demand as sources of biological control agents and of particular physiological active substances. Recent studies indicate that fungi can be the prime cause of sinusitis, asthma, and allergenic troubles. Some fungi can be useful however, and can be used to improve the overall quality of human life. With very few books available on the subject of soil and seed fungi, Tsuneo Watanabes book remains the only work that details information on techniques for isolating, culturing, and identifying soil and seed fungi.
This new edition of Pictorial Atlas of Soil and Seed Fungi describes more than 350 fungal species, including:
§ 46 Mastigomycetous species
§ 33 Zygomycetous species
§ 36 Ascomycetous species
§ 9 Basidiomycetous species
§ 240 Deuteromycetous species
In this atlas, Watanabe presents the results of his soil-borne plant disease studies including pathological and mycological aspects. The Pictorial Atlas of Soil and Seed Fungi, Second Edition includes 45 new fungal species illustrated in brilliant detail using original photomicrographs and line drawings.

Drugs into Bodies: Global AIDS Treatment Activism

Drugs into Bodies: Global AIDS Treatment Activism
by Raymond A. Smith (Author), Patricia D. Siplon (Author)

Product Details
* Hardcover: 212 pages
* Publisher: Praeger Publishers; 1 edition (March 30, 2006)
* Language: English
* ISBN-10: 0275983250

Book Description
This activist's manual by Smith and Siplon -the title of which refers to an AIDS slogan-is divided into two parts: "Building a Domestic AIDS Treatment Activist Movement" and "Forging a Global AIDS Treatment Activist Network." The book traces the progression of the global AIDS treatment activist movement, paying special attention to the organization Health GAP. It promotes disruptive activists' tactics introduced by the protest group ACT UP, an agenda greatly facilitated by the rise of the Internet and capable of empowering the disenfranchised across national boundaries by encouraging demonstrations and confrontational politics against a profit-driven global economy and antipoor global politics. Social activists will find this book an invaluable resource. For libraries serving that audience.
