Ex Situ Plant Conservation
Author: Center for Plant Conservation
Publisher: Island Press
ISBN: 1597267562
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 536
Book Description
Faced with widespread and devastating loss of biodiversity in wild habitats, scientists have developed innovative strategies for studying and protecting targeted plant and animal species in "off-site" facilities such as botanic gardens and zoos. Such ex situ work is an increasingly important component of conservation and restoration efforts. Ex Situ Plant Conservation, edited by Edward O. Guerrant Jr., Kayri Havens, and Mike Maunder, is the first book to address integrated plant conservation strategies and to examine the scientific, technical, and strategic bases of the ex situ approach. The book examines where and how ex situ investment can best support in situ conservation. Ex Situ Plant Conservation outlines the role, value, and limits of ex situ conservation as well as updating best management practices for the field, and is an invaluable resource for plant conservation practitioners at botanic gardens, zoos, and other conservation organizations; students and faculty in conservation biology and related fields; managers of protected areas and other public and private lands; and policymakers and members of the international community concerned with species conservation.

Bluegrass Confederate
Author: William C. Davis
Publisher: LSU Press
ISBN: 9780807130582
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 734
Book Description
Diaries by Kentucky Rebels are a rarity; the soldiers, cut off from their homes and families in the Union Bluegrass, were themselves atypical. In this massive and eloquent journal, Captain Edward O. Guerrant evocatively portrays his unusual wartime experiences attached to the headquarters of Confederate generals Humphrey Marshall, William Preston, George Cosby, and, most notably, John Hunt Morgan. Able to see the inner workings of campaigns in the little-known Appalachian region of eastern Kentucky, southwestern Virginia, and east Tennessee, where some of the most vicious small-scale fighting occurred, Guerrant made scrupulous daily entries remarking upon virtually everything around him.

Author: Richard L. Guerrant
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780443079085
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 1644
Book Description
Due to increased travel in isolated regions, clinicians are more likely to encounter tropical diseases than ever before. This modern textbook comprehensively covers all tropical diseases. Written by an internationally renowned group of contributors, it covers the pathogens, syndromes, and organ systems. It is profusely illustrated, including life cycles for all significant organisms. Discusses the principles of parasite biology, epidemiology, and analyses diagnostic approaches to syndromes such as fever, rash, eosinophilia, and anaemia. Covers a full range of tropical diseases including those caused by bacterial, mycobacterial, spirochetal, chlamydial, parasitic, rickettsial and viral infections. Employs a consistent chapter organisation for each pathogen, beginning with the organism and its history, taxonomy and epidemiology, and progressing through its pathogenesis and immunology to diagnosis, treatment and prognosis, and prevention. Visually clarifies the interrelationships between parasites, humans, and the ecology with 30 detailed life-cycle drawings. Reviews all the latest developments on the immunology, pathogenesis, and genetics of virulence, as well as the newest molecular approaches to diagnosis and control. Includes maps detailing specific diseases indigenous to certain parts of the world, and an abundance of figures, algorithms, and tables. Enables further researching with over 14,000 references.
