Este estudio pretende hacer un inventario -exhaustivo en lo posible- de la flora y vegetación presente en las Islas Cíes, y su localización y abundancia en ellas, a fin de poder encontrarlas y seguir su evolucion en el tiempo. Tambien se corrigen algunos errores encontrados en los catalogos hechos anteriormente. Se incluyen por primera vez todas las plantas cultivadas o asilvestradas en las islas, pues bastantes de ellas tienen interes propio por su rareza o buen desarrollo, o son potenciales invsoras agresivas, y en muchos casos puede no ser facil para el profano conocer si son autoctonas o no. Otro objetivo es identificar las especies que deben ser protegidas por su inclusion en los listados gallegos y españoles de especies a conservar, y las que por su rareza en las islas tambien lo merezcan. Los datos que contiene este libro se han tomado entre los años 2000 y 2010, ambos inclusive.

Hispaniachelys prebetica es una tortuga que vivió en el Jurásico superior, en un océano ya desaparecido llamado Tethys. Tanto las rocas formadas a partir de los sedimentos depositados en aquel fondo marino como sus fascinantes fosiles aparecen hoy dia formando las montañas de las Sierras de Cazorla y Segura y nos permiten saber como fueron las caracteristicas ambientales en ese pasado tan remoto. Arrecifes de esponjas y microbios, ammonites y belemnites nadando por doquier, y la tortuga marina mas antigua de Iberia son los protagonistas de esta obra.

Principles of Proteomics is designed specifically to explain the different stages of proteomic analysis, their complexities and their jargon to students and researchers in a non-technical overview of the field.The author describes the broad range of problems which proteomics can address, including structural proteomics, interaction proteomics, protein modification analysis and functional proteomics. Methodologies are described in user-friendly language, from the more traditional two-dimensional gel electrophoresis to the new developments in protein chip technologies. These are well presented in the context of overall strategies which can be adopted to address the different aspects of large-scale protein analysis.

El libro nos presenta el agua como fuente de vida, su diversidad y todos sus posibles usos, todo ello para llegar a un punto de reflexión sobre el presente y futuro papel del agua en nuestras sociedades, los retos y presiones sobre los recursos hidricos a nivel mundial, asi como las diversas formas de cooperacion local o transfronteriza entorno a sus usos.Parte de los beneficios de la venta del libro se donaran a UNICEF, a su area "Water, Sanitation and Hygiene"

This book contains a selection of Dr Canter's amazing photographs of microscopic algae and their enemies, with a commentary on the world of freshwater algae. All the freshwater algal groups are included, together with the protozoal and invertebrate parasites and predators, providing a comprehensive photographic display of the organisms seen through the microscope.

Knowledge in microbiology is growing exponentially through the determination of genomic sequences of hundreds of microorganisms and the invention of new technologies such as genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics, to deal with this avalanche of information.These genomic data are now exploited in thousands of applications, ranging from those in medicine, agriculture, organic chemistry, public health, biomass conversion, to biomining. Microbial Biotechnology. Fundamentals of Applied Microbiology focuses on uses of major societal importance, enabling an in-depth analysis of these critically important applications. Some, such as wastewater treatment, have changed only modestly over time, others, such as directed molecular evolution, or ''green'' chemistry, are as current as today''s headlines.This fully revised second edition provides an exciting interdisciplinary journey through the rapidly changing landscape of discovery in microbial biotechnology. An ideal text for courses in applied microbiology and biotechnology courses, this book will also serve as an invaluable overview of recent advances in this field for professional life scientists and for the diverse community of other professionals with interests in biotechnology.

Els nostres pares ens han donat nom i ens han llegat els cognoms que diuen qui som. Una multitud davantpassats han encreuat els seus gens per a produir els que cada un de nosaltres tenim. Pero si comparem els arbres genealogics de dos individus coetanis, descobrim que, en remuntar-nos a un temps no gens llunya, resulten identics. De fet, lherencia genetica rebuda daquells individus que ens han llegat el cognom es infima. Com es dimportant el nostre llegat genetic? Fins a quin punt ens condiciona? Gens i genealogies relaciona els nostres trets culturals i biologics amb la intencio de fer-nos comprendre com apareixen algunes regularitats i, alhora, desfer alguns mites sobre la rellevancia de lherencia. De ben segur que, partint dels arguments que shi exposen, el lector es replantejara el valor de lherencia genetica i la importancia de certs trets culturals que aparentment ens defineixen.

Botánica es la obra de referencia universal tanto para aficionados a la jardinería como para botánicos. Con la colaboración de expertos internacionales se ha creado un libro que muestra la riqueza de nuestra flora y la diversidad de plantas de todas las regiones del planeta.
