Book Description

Hairy roots are plant roots that have been genetically transformed and can be cultured on a large scale. They can replace the whole plant in many research projects, and offer a range of technical advantages over plant cell cultures. Hairy roots are now used in studies of plant secondary metabolism and its genetic manipulation, as hosts for the production of foreign proteins, for plant propagation in agriculture, in environmental research, and for the development of new engineering technology for large-scale production of plant chemicals. Hairy root culture is an interdisciplinary science, with important and expansive applications.
This volume is the first to be dedicated solely to the many facets of hairy root culture. The number of papers dedicated to hairy roots is rising exponentially, and with the increasing amount of research already underway this forms a timely publication. It is written and edited by acknowledged experts in the areas of hairy root culture and product synthesis, plant pro

Book Description

Tusi (1201-1274 a.d.) was an Arabic scholar whose writings became the standard texts in several disciplines for several centuries. They include editions of Euclid's Elements and Ptolemy's Almagest, as well as other books on mathematics and astronomy, and books on logic, ethics, religion. He wrote the Tadhkira, to be "a summary account of `astronomy' presented in narrative form. The details are expounded and proofs of the validity are furnished in the Almagest. Indeed, ours would not be a complete science if taken in isolation from the Almagest for it is a report of what is established therein." It is thus not only a sort of running commentary on the Almagest, but also an account of medieval Arabic cosmology. Jamil Ragep has not only translated the text of the Tadhkira, but has also provided a lengthy introduction with a biography of Tusi and a discussion of the context in which the Tadhkira was written and its influence, as well as a detailed and thorough commentary on each section of the text.

Book Description

Scattered across New Mexico are over 500 scenic historic markers that give brief historical facts about the area and provide interesting clues to New Mexico's vividness. This comprehensive guide gives locations of the markers, the information as it appears on each marker, and names and addresses for further information. Reading one marker, you can imagine how it would feel to ride shotgun with Sheriff Pat Garrett as he chases the elusive Billy the Kid. Another marker helps you explore the area where Pat was later murdered in a still unsolvable crime. You can even discover tracks left by a dinosaur, and find proof of early man long before the rise and fall of the mysterious Anasazi. There are places where early farming puebloeans left their ghosts and ruins , and you can follow in the footsteps of early explorers such as Vasquez de Coronado, Antonio de Espejo, and others as they search for gold and claim this land for Spain. There are places where settlers created the Santa Fe Trail and the Butterfield and Cooke's stage routes. You'll marvel at how three cultures have met to create the unique land called New Mexico. Whether you are a resident or a visitor, you will find this to be a valuable guide while exploring the remarkable state of New Mexico. PHIL T. ARCHULETTA's experience with the historical markers as well as his love of New Mexico and its history have been life long. Owner and CEO of P&M Signs, Inc., he has been in the sign manufacturing business for over thirty years and has traveled the state, logging each marker, in order to preserve this aspect of New Mexico's colorful history. SHARYL S. HOLDEN, a professional photographer and writer, has been enchanted by the wide open spaces of New Mexico all her life. She and Phil have worked diligently to prepare this enjoyable guide for both tourists and residents.

Seventeen-year-old Josephine Alibrandi is no stranger to conflict. If she's not caught between her strict single mom and her even stricter grandmother, then she's trying to choose between wealthy good boy John Barton and working-class bad boy Joseph Coote. Josephine is always in trouble with the nuns at her Catholic school (who everyone calls "penguins because of them wearing wimples and all that Sound of Music gear") because she fights with native Australian kids over her mixed Australian/Italian heritage. Just when she thinks her situation couldn't possibly get more complicated, her mysterious, long-lost biological father comes back and Josephine must decide if it's worth getting to know this person who abandoned her and her mother. But through it all--including a startling revelation from her grandmother and the suicide of a close friend--Josephine manages to hold on to her sense of humor, as in this reflective moment: "I could have been a model for Hot Pants. Except that when I finally put my glasses on, reality set in. Hot Pants would have to wait."

Award-winning Australian author Melina Marchetta has created a strong and sassy role model in Josephine, whom girls with growing pains on both sides of the Pacific will love. With its accurate and insightful portrayal of a young woman's coming of age, Looking for Alibrandi will have female teens waiting eagerly for Marchetta's next novel. (Ages 12 and older) --Jennifer Hubert

Book Description

For as long as Josephine Alibrandi can remember, it’s just been her, her mom, and her grandmother. Now it’s her final year at a wealthy Catholic high school. The nuns couldn’t be any stricter—but that doesn’t seem to stop all kinds of men from coming into her life.

Caught between the old-world values of her Italian grandmother, the nononsense wisdom of her mom, and the boys who continue to mystify her, Josephine is on the ride of her life. This will be the year she falls in love, the year she discovers the secrets of her family’s past—and the year she sets herself free.

Told with unmatched depth and humor, this novel—which swept the pool of Australian literary awards and became a major motion picture—is one to laugh through and cry with, to cherish and remember.

Italian and Australian Cultures.......2007-07-04

Josephine has always felt like something of an outsider. She is a member of an Italian family but they are living in Australia, where many people give them a hard time. She also feels like she doesn't quite belong with the Italians, though. Her mother was an unmarried teenager when she had Josephine, and that made both of their lives difficult. Her mother never told who the father of her baby was and she was therefore disowned by her parents. Only after the death of Josephine's grandfather did they rejoin the family, and relations between Josephine's mother and grandmother are still strained.

Now Josephine is seventeen and in her last year of high school, and things are becoming even more confusing in her life. First of all, she is torn between two different guys she likes--one who seems perfect for her, cultured and suave and gentlemanly. The other is rough around the edges but she can't help being attracted to him anyway.

To make things even more complex, the father Josephine never knew is suddenly back in town and she can't seem to decide how she feels about him. She thought she'd never want to speak to him after what he did to her mother, but now that he is here she realizes she's missed having a father for all of these years.

I liked the love triangle Josephine found herself in. I also liked that this book gave me a look into what life would be like for a teenager living somewhere other than the United States. Some things were very similar, while others were surprisingly different.

I thought that Josephine's character was often over the top, especially when she was fighting with her mother or grandmother. She was more irrational than she should have been. I also thought that Josephine's relationship with her father was too smooth.

Smart, Funny And A Keen Insight Into Italian/ Australian Culture!.......2006-09-27

My good mate John down at Matilda's book store in Mount Waverley is now my "Reading Consultant" and his choice of books for me never disappoint and this novel is no exception. This book is a realistic look at the life of 17 year old Josephine who just wants to complete her HSC and go to University and become a lawyer. Her life however is complicated by the fact that she is illegitimate and Italian/Australian so she is caught between two cultures and this is used as a weapon against her by some of her nasty classmates. Furthermore Josephine has to deal with the Emotional Drama that is inherant in most European families .Josie is smart, witty and her emotional resilience comes into play when her bioligical father enters her life. This book is warm, touching and funny and naturally I give it 5 stars. Thanks again John!

A fine story of a determined survivalist.......2006-08-20

Josephine Alibrandi is smart and funny - and has no idea who her father is. It's always been her mother's side of the family in her life, but as she enters her last semester in a wealthy Catholic high school she faces strict nuns, the interest of two very different boys, and questions about the father she's never known - who has returned to her life. A fine story of a determined survivalist emerges.

Loved it!.......2006-06-21

Looking for Alibrandi is way better than "Saving Fransesca". The main character Josephine is so likeable and you can really relate to her in a way. This book is packed with drama. I read it in one day.

Page-turner.......2005-10-25

Looking for Alibrandi is my favourite book ever. This interesting book is filled with romance, hardships, lovely experiences and discoveries. Josephine desperately wants to be emancipated, and through her search for liberation, she becomes a more matured and beautiful lady. She gets to know her grandmother better, and grows closer to her mother. She also comes to know of her "long lost" father, Michael. At first she pretends that she does not want to get to know him better, but one incident brought them closer together. I especially like the part about her relationship between Jacob Cooste and John Barton. This book is so touching that I cried so many times when I read it. I really like the way the author writes it. It has definitely helped me improved my english. All in all, this book is a page-turner. (:
