This book provides an understanding of the intricate structure of the plant-microbe interface for increasing plant performance in an environmentally…
sustainable way. Plant microbiomes, often known as the bacteria associated with plants such as rhizospheric, phyllosphere, and entophytic, are essential components of plant life. Importance of plant microbiomes is a trustworthy strategy for sustainability to handle upcoming food shortages and restore soil health. Understanding the relationships between plants and microorganisms is advancing with the concept of profiling plant-associated microbiomes (genome assemblies of all bacteria). Through a number of ways, the microbiota increases the plant's ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions. Therefore, it is crucial to solving the riddle of plant-microbe dynamics using cutting-edge technologies to comprehend the function of metabolites and signal route mechanisms. Recent developments in omics technologies for unravelling plant-microbe dynamic interactions and other novel phytotechnologies for soil health improvement are discussed at length in this volume, as well as novel methods for improved agricultural and environmental sustainability. Teachers, academics, plant biologists, and researchers will all find this book interesting. Students studying agriculture, microbiology, biotechnology, ecology, soil science, and environmental sciences at the undergraduate and graduate levels can also use the book as supplemental reading material.Par Fuschia M.

Jack Campbell’s New York Times bestselling The Lost Fleet sci-fi adventure series has transported legions of fans out of this…
world and into the heat of battle. Now, readers will discover how it all began—not only for John “Black Jack” Geary and his descendant Commander Michael Geary, but for those who fought and sacrificed so much alongside them.Spanning from before the Alliance/Syndicate war to the devastating initial conflagration that would lead to decades of unremitting conflict and beyond into full-blown war, from the Geary’s own epic heroics to where their surviving compatriots found their own fates, this volume reveals the triumphs, tragedies, and life-altering events that made these warriors living legends in their universe.Packed with high-stakes military action and drama as well as humor and humanity, this volume explores the foundations of The Lost Fleet series as well as past exploits of its most popular characters—and also includes the novelization of the Lost Fleet graphic novel Corsair, which was praised as “a Tom Clancy thriller in space” (Publishers Weekly).Praise for The Lost Fleet novels:“Some of the best military science fiction on the shelves today.”—SF Site“If there’s ever a space war, the Lost Fleet series could well be the military’s manual.”—Audible“The whole series is worth a read…Fast paced adventure.”—SFRevuPar Jack Campbell. 2012
Admiral John "Black Jack" Geary was revived from cryogenic sleep to lead the Alliance against the Syndicate Worlds. But his…
superiors question his loyalty to the regime. Now in command of the First Fleet, he is tasked with exploring the frontier beyond Syndic space, a mission he fears deliberately puts the fleet-- and himself--in harm's way... An encounter with the alien enigmas confirms Geary's fears. Attacked without warning, he orders the fleet to jump star systems--only to enter the crosshairs of another hostile alien armada. Ignoring the First Fleet's peaceful communications, this species sends its ships into battle while it guards the exiting jump point with a fortress of incalculable power. Now Geary must find a way to reach the jump point without massive casualties--even though the enigmas could be waiting on the other side...Par Arturo Perez-Reverte. 2006

When world-renowned Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to his first assignment to a Swiss research facility to analyze a mysterious symbol—seared into the chest of a murdered physicist—he discovers evidence of the unimaginable: the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati...the most powerful underground organization ever to walk the earth. The Illuminati has now surfaced to carry out the final phase of its legendary vendetta against its most hated enemy—the Catholic Church. Langdon’s worst fears are confirmed on the eve of the Vatican’s holy conclave, when a messenger of the Illuminati announces they have hidden an unstoppable time bomb at the very heart of Vatican City.
