Hen Eggs: Basic and Applied Science
de Takehiko Yamamoto, Lekh Raj Juneja, Hajime Hatta, Mujo Kim(Ed. CRC Press) Isbn : 0849340055
254.56 €
The egg is a chemical storehouse-within an incubating egg a complicated set of chemical reactions take place that convert the chemicals into a living animal. Using hen eggs as a model, this new text explores the use of eggs for food, industrial, and pharmaceutical applications. It covers the chemistry, biology, and function of lipids ; carbohydrates ; proteins ; yolk antibody (IgY) ; and other materials of eggs. The novel merits of egg materials over others used in the same products are also discussed. These areas of egg technology have never been compiled before in one source.

The Ebcc Atlas of European Breeding Birds: Their Distribution and Abundance
de Ward J. M. Hagemeijer(Ed. Poyser) Isbn : 0856610917
76.79 €
The EBCC Atlas of European Breeding Birds presents, for the very first time, an integrated picture of the distribution and abundance of the breeding birds of Europe. The book compiles and organizes bird survey data from all of Europe, bringing together a team of 450 authors from 38 countries, with an inventive team of artists providing lively illustrations of the various bird species. Over 100 regional and national atlases have been produced, surveying areas from such obscure regions as Madeira, the Azores, Iceland, Svalbard, Novaya Zemlya, Franz Josef Land and Transcaucasia--even parts of Russia and the Ukraine !

de Lang Elliot, Donald Stokes, Lillian Stokes(Ed. Hachette Audio) Isbn : 1570425884
33.23 €
The easiest way to locate and identify the widest variety of bird species is often through sound. These clear recordings allow listeners to identify not only more species, but also more sounds per species, including their unique songs and calls. Comprehensive and informative, each entry starts with the name of the bird, followed by its respective song and call. Additionally, both audio packages contain a companion booklet featuring a brief introduction to bird sounds, an alphabetical index to Western birds, common and scientific names of each bird, habitats and locations of each bird, a list of the bird's sounds by name with brief descriptions of the functions of these sounds, and much more.

Pulsars as Physics Laboratories
de A. Hewish, A. G. Lyne(Ed. OUP Oxford) Isbn : 0198539835
53.16 €
The discovery 25 years ago of the remarkable objects which came to be known as pulsars, and their identification as neutron stars, fulfilled a prediction made more than 30 years earlier. Over 550 pulsars are now known, almost all detected at radio frequencies. Their pulse periods range from 1.5 ms to several seconds. Most pulsars are single neutron stars but, in an important subset, the pulsar is in a binary orbit with a companion star. Observations have revealed a wealth of detail about the structure and evolution of pulsars and the pulse-emission process, giving new insight into the behaviour of matter in the presence of extreme gravitational and electromagnetic fields. Pulsars have unique physical properties which make them nearly ideal as probes for a wide range of physical studies.

Cacti of the Desert Southwest
de Meg Quinn(Ed. Rio Nuevo Publishers) Isbn : 1887896287
12.3 €
The deserts of the American Southwest boast a remarkable diversity of drought-tolerant plant life, including many species found nowhere else on earth. And no group says«desert»quite like cacti. Their prickly nature notwithstanding, cacti and the desert habitats in which they reside are especially fragile. Indeed, Saguaro National Park and Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument were established primarily to protect the largest concentrations of these respective species. Others, such as the Pima pineapple cactus, are less conspicuous but also more rare and in need of special protection and conservation. In Cacti of the Desert Southwest, botanist Meg Quinn describes eighty-six of the most significant cacti found in the Sonoran, Chihuahuan, and Mojave deserts. For ease of identification, all are ...
