Abductions and murder are not what ex-DCI Luke Sackville expected when he left the police after tragedy struck his family. Luke's return to the workplace was meant to be a soft landing but when a woman vanishes after being accused of taking bribes, he is assigned a disparate team and tasked with tracking her down. Their search becomes more urgent when her disappearance is linked to the death of a second woman. When a third goes missing the hun...

Descent into Madness (and how I found myself again) is a work of non-fiction in the memoir, self-help, and inspirational writing subgenres. It is best suited to mature readers owing to the frank discussion of sexual situations. This candid and compelling memoir penned by author Joan Kopczynski chronicles the author's most challenging years when mental illness had her in its grip. From a successful life in San Francisco, working for the CIA, an...

Black Money' - money that is made from illegal trade or criminal activity Ex-DCI Luke Sackville could not have predicted the challenges he would face when he joined Filchers, a business outsourcing company, as their Head of Ethics. He and his team are catapulted into helping MI6 thwart the activities of an international terrorist organisation. Initial suspicions centre on money laundering, but when women are abducted and bodies start to t...

Some secrets are best left under lock and key. Ivy hopes for a fresh start when she takes a nannying job at the bleak and isolated Fairwood House. Determined to play by the rules, she looks past her employer's eccentricities and quickly bonds with six-year-old Wren. But when Ivy discovers that the previous nanny left under mysterious circumstances, she digs deeper, and the terrifying truth unravels. Against her employer's orders, Ivy ent...

Discusses the mechanisms that mediate biosynthesis, accumulation, and degradation of plant metabolites to develop novel strategies to improve crop production and enhance abiotic stress tolerance in plants. Volume 1 focuses on secondary metabolites in the adaptation of plants to the environment and in overcoming stress conditions.

Discusses the mechanisms that mediate biosynthesis, accumulation, and degradation of plant metabolites to employ strategies to improve crop production and enhance abiotic stress tolerance in plants. Vol 2 throws light on the different inorganic trace elements, that help to deal with various environmental stresses.

Studies the impact and management of pollution on plants, resulting in plant abiotic stress physiology, reduces growth due to alterations in biochemical and physiological processes. It details harm to plants caused primarily by heavy metal contamination in soils, using pesticides, and by air pollution.

Presents an extensive overview of crop production techniques on tropical and subtropical fruits, processing, marketing, breeding efforts, harvesting, and postharvest handling, as well as pest and disease management, marketing/trade, varieties and breeding, etc., of banana, citrus, durian, grapes, guava, jackfruit, litchi, mango, and papaya.

Presents the use of mutagenesis and biotechnology to explore the variability of mutant genes for crop improvement. It deals with in-vitro mutagenesis to exploit the somaclonal variations induced in cell culture. The chapters highlight the importance of in-vitro mutagenesis in inducing salt resistance and draught resistance.

Presents up-to-date detailed information on 2 types of heterocyclic compounds that originate from alpha-amino acids: NCAs/NTAs and sydnones/sydnonimines. It covers over 10 initiating systems for the NCA monomers to undergo the ring-opening polymerization. Also the methods to characterize these prepared polypeptides/polypeptoids are included.

Discusses two types of simple heterocycles that can be prepared from ¿-amino acids, i.e., azlactones (also known as oxazolones, 4-unsaturated azlactones included) and oxazolidin-5-ones. These heterocyclic compounds behave differently in both biological and chemical properties, and their biological activities are presented.

Covers the genetic engineering techniques used to mutant genes and incorporate them in plant species of cereals, pulses, vegetables, and fruits. Addresses in-vitro mutagenesis and the principles of genetic engineering in which mechanism and action of transfer of desired genes from plants to animals to microorganism and vice versa.

Discusses new food processing methods, exploring the principles, benefits, and techniques used, developments and applications of ultrasonication, supercritical fluid extraction and supercritical fluid chromatography, advanced drying and dehydration technologies, and encapsulation methods as tools in the processing of food.

A timely update on plant responses to environmental stresses such as salinity, waterlogging, drought, pollution, heat, temperature, oxidative stress, and mineral deficiencies. It focuses on physiological and biochemical mechanisms that allow plants to adapt to biotic and abiotic stress and methods for improving plant tolerance mechanisms.
