Book Description
Nitrogen fixation is a key component of the nitrogen cycle, one of the most fundamental cycles in the biosphere. Conversion of atmospheric nitrogen into organic nitrogen compounds can be carried out only by certain bacteria and blue-green algae (cyanobacteria). Some nitrogen fixing bacteria live symbiotically with leguminous plants such as peas, beans, clover, and certain tropical trees in nodules on the plants' roots, while others live independently in the soil and aquatic habitats. By the activity of these microorganisms, the soil is enriched with the nitrogen required for plant growth and function. Thus the topic is of considerable practical as well as fundamental importance. In Biological Nitrogen Fixation, the leading researchers in nitrogen fixation from all over the world contribute up-to-the-minute general reviews on all aspects of the subject, from the molecular biology and genetics to the biochemistry, physiology, and ecology of nitrogen fixation. This compendium of current research is an indispensable reference for all involved in nitrogen fixation research, and of use to all who deal indirectly with the subject. It will also serve as a thoroughly up-to-date textbook for graduate students in microbiology, plant science, biochemistry, molecular biology, plant pathology, agronomy, and genetics.

Book Description
Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) - the conversion of molecular nitrogen into ammonia - is one of the most important reactions in ecology and agriculture. It is performed exclusively by microbes (prokaryotes) that live in symbiosis with plants. This book summarizes the latest research on this reaction, the participating microbes and the genetics of how their relevant genes could be transferred into the plants. In the light of a more sustainable and less ecologically damaging agriculture, this is becoming an increasingly pressing issue.

Co-publishing Institutions IITA PMB 5320, Ibadan, Nigeria Tel: (234) 22 400300-400319 Telex: 31417 TROPIB NG Fax (INMARSAT): 874-1772276 Cable: TROPFOUND IKEJA The goal of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) is to increase the productivity of key food crops and to develop sustainable agricultural systems that can replace bush fallow, or slash-and-burn cultivation, in the humid and subhumid tropics of Africa. Crop improvement programmes focus on cassava, maize, plantain, cowpea, soybean and yam. Research findings are shared through international cooperation programmes, which include training, information and germplasm exchange activities. IITA was founded in 1967. The Federal Government of Nigeria provided a land grant of 1000 hectares at Ibadan for a headquarters and experimental farm site, and the Rockefeller and Ford Foundations provided financial support. IITA is governed by an international Board of Trustees. The staff includes nearly 200 scientists and professional staff from about 40 countries, who work at the Ibadan campus and at selected locations in many countries of sub-Saharan Africa. IITA is a member of a system of non-profit, international agricultural research centres supported by the Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). Established in 1971, the CGIAR is an association of about 50 countries, international and regional organizations and private foundations. The purpose of the research effort is to improve the quantity and quality of food production in developing countries. The World Bank, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) are co-sponsors of this effort.

The Association promotes research, training and the use of biological nitrogen fixation to increase food production, reduce the need for purchased nitrogen fertilizers, and alleviate malnutrition in Africa.

Book Description
Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) has become important in rice farming systems because this process diminishes the need for expensive chemical fertilizers which have been associated with numerous health and environmental problems. The extensive exploitation of BNF would provide economic benefits to small farmers, avoiding all malign influences of chemical fertilizers.
Meanwhile, advances in biotechnology have brought rice genetics to the threshold of new opportunities for increasing rice production.
This volume focuses, in six different sessions, on the role of BNF in the improvement of rice production in the light of the current state of the art of BNF technology transfer and diffusion. New ideas on BNF technology in research, extension information and inoculant technology are also included, together with the socio-economic impacts of using BNF in rice farm systems.

Book Description
Excellent study provides detailed account of the Hamiltonian treatment of aberration theory in geometrical optics. Important for design of laser cavities, electron optics, crystal physics, other areas. Author deals in logical progression with many classes of optical systems, defined in terms of the symmetries they possess. Detailed solutions. 1970 edition.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent book with a lot of nice stuff inside.......2007-03-11
This book is so cheap but with so many interesting stuff inside, I guess everyone in optics should know something about symmetry and the general thoery.
Analytical methods.......2001-01-07
This book is by far the best in the field of geometrical optics dealing with 3-d, 5-th and higher orders aberrations in symmetric optical system. The language is very clear and easy to follow, it is written for a broad audience. I would personally recommend it for all how has an interest in the theory of optical aberrations.

Book Description
This book stresses the unifying power of the geometrical framework in bringing together concepts from the different areas of physics. Common underpinnings of optics, elasticity, gravitation, relativistic fields, particle mechanics and others subjects are underlined. It attempts to extricate the notion of space currently in the physical literature from the metric connotation.
The book's goal is to present mathematical ideas associated with geometrical physics in a rather introductory language. Included are many examples from elementary physics and also, for those wishing to reach a higher level of understanding, a more advanced treatment of the mathematical topics. It is aimed as an elementary text, more so than most others on the market, and is intended for first year graduate students.
Customer Reviews:
Good support for theoretical Physics ..........2002-10-24
This book contains lots of subjects all of great interest for students in theoretical Physics. The right way to read this book is just to read those chapters one is interested in. The level is at advanced-undergraduate / graduate. Tensors are treated in a self contained way, as differential forms, and connection with Physics is always present. A good way to learn more from that stuff is to couple this book with Frankel's "The Geometry of Physics" (which goes more far by treating homology, cohomology, De Rahm theorem ...). One thing one could point out is that Aldrovandi's formalism is not the most recent (compared to Frankel's) but this is just a small problem for those who are used to maths. This book is a useful reference and matemathical support for those learning on QFT and GR. I particularly appreciated the part about tensor fields, differential forms and integration of differential forms (Very well written !). Sections about chains, homology, De Rham's theorem, Betti numbers ... are also quite good. The last few chapters contain some original and interesting parts about GR compared to Gauge Theory, dS and AdS spaces, even if this section seems to me a bit shortly written. The book contains also some other stuff that you will not need immediatelly for QFT and GR (Morse theory, ...).

Kenya Dworkin is my professor and we went through this book in my U.S. Latinos Class. She made U.S. Latino history come alive. I never realized the struggles within the Latino community and racist barrier they have to overcome until reading these short stories, poems, and plays.
