Francis Gilbert – författare

The book is an indispensable companion to all students of biology, but particularly those enrolled in courses concerning experimental design, data analysis, hypothesis testing, research methods, or any practical project work.

Asking and answering questions is the cornerstone of science, yet formal training in understanding this key process is often overlooked.

Asking Questions in Biology unpacks this crucial process of enquiry, from a biological perspective, at its various stages.

Truant. Drunk. Sexually deviant. And that''s just the English teacher...It''s the last day of term at the Gilda Ball Academy, and time is running out. Running out for Martin, the English teacher, who hasn''t noticed his marriage crumbling and his health deteriorating. And for Béla, who''s been plotting revenge since Martin had him expelled, after an incident that left the school''s Deputy Head dead.When Martin is confronted with an anonymous note accusing him of abuse, he naturally assumes it came from Béla.The truth, as he will discover, is never quite that simple.

Deserts are unique ecosystems with their own biotic and abiotic components, and are often rich in renewable natural resources, the appropriate management of which can contribute significantly to the sustainable management of desert regions for the welfare of the people.

Yet while there are many books on the flora of the countries fringing the important desert countries of the Mediterranean and Red Seas, there or few books reporting on their ecophysiology and vegetation ecology. This book presents the vegetation types of the African and Asian countries of the Mediterranean and Red Sea coastal regions, and discusses the ecological threats and economic applications of these critical resources. In particular, it examines the relationships between climate and vegetation, and discusses these within the context of desertification, agro-industrial applications, ecotourism and sustainable development.

The book will provide a valuable reference for researchers and graduate students involved in plant ecology, biogeography, economic botany and environmental management in the Afro-Asian Mediterranean and Red Sea coastal regions, as well as other desert regions around the world.
