There are physical and chemical methods of synthesis of nanomaterials. But due to the damage caused by these methods to the environment there is a pressing need of green nanotechnology, which is a clean and eco-friendly technology for the development of nanomaterials. The present book includes green synthesis of nanoparticles by algae, diatoms and plants. The mechanism behind the synthesis of nanoparticles will also be discussed. The book would be a valuable resource for students, researchers and teachers of biology, chemistry, chemical technology, nanotechnology, microbial technology and those who are interested in green nanotechnology.

November 2020Requiem for a Female Serial Killer
by Phyllis Chesler
This psychological crime thriller takes us inside the mind of a unique female serial killer, a prostitute who murdered seven adult men—a case with which the author was intimately involved. The issues raised by this high-profile criminal case remain unresolved to this day. Women, even prostitutes, have the right to self-defense in theory, but in practice, the story is more complicated. This book will challenge everything you ever thought about prostitutes, serial killers, and justice in America. Aileen Wuornos is a damaged soul, a genuine American outlaw, a symbol of women's rage, a symbol of what can happen to severely abused children, and of how our justice system fails women. Chesler's involvement with a serial killer has haunted her ever since. She speaks in Aileen Wuornos' voice, as well as in her own, and delivers an incisive, original, and dramatic portrait of a cognitively impaired, traumatized, and alcoholic woman who had endured so much pain in her short life. When she'd had enough, the results were deadly. This is a poignant, sometimes humorous, never-before-told behind-the-scenes tale. Wuornos' story is handled with great sensitivity, but also with realistic detachment by Chesler as she probes the telling moment, the telling phrase. Was Wuornos suffering from post-traumatic stress after a life lived on a "killing field?" Was she also "born evil?" So many prostitutes have been torture-murdered by serial killers—how did Wuornos, once prey, become a predator? Requiem for a Female Serial Killer will also haunt you. It won’t let you put it down. Take a walk on the wild side. The ghost of Aileen Wuornos beckons.

Health & Personal DevelopmentThe Healthy Brain
Optimize Brain Power At Any Age
by Aileen Burford-Mason
The Healthy Brain makes the compelling case that most people's brains are underperforming because they are undernourished. As the most metabolically active organ in the body, the brain has nutritional needs that are 10 times higher than any other organ. The brain is the first organ to falter when it is improperly fed. Author Aileen Burford-Mason offers step-by-step guidance on how to implement dietary changes and select appropriate supplements for optimal brain power at any age. She offers real case histories and summarizes leading-edge scientific research to support her advice.

Humanities & Social SciencesTalkin' Up to the White Woman
Indigenous Women and Feminism (20th anniversary edition)
by Aileen Moreton-Robinson
In this ground-breaking and timeless book, Distinguished Professor Aileen Moreton-Robinson undertakes a compelling analysis of the whiteness of feminism and its effect on Indigenous women. As a Goenpul woman and an academic, she operationalises an Indigenous women’s standpoint as she ‘talks up’, engages with and interrogates western feminism in representation and practice. Through an examination of an extensive range of feminist literature written predominantly by white scholars and activists, Moreton-Robinson demonstrates how whiteness dominates from a position of power and privilege as an invisible norm and unchallenged practice. She illustrates the ways in which Indigenous women have been represented in the publications and teachings of white women. Such renderings of Indigenous lives contrast with the way in which Indigenous women re/present and understand themselves. Persuasive and engaging, Talkin’ Up to the White Woman is a timely and necessary argument for the inclusion of Indigenous perspectives in the teachings and practices that impact on Australia’s pluralistic society. First published twenty years ago, this new edition proves the continued relevance of this classic work as a critique of the whiteness of western feminism.

The War Against Viruses
How The Science of Optimal Nutrition Can Help You Win the Battle
by Aileen Burford-Mason
When operating efficiently, the immune system represents biological teamwork at its best – a symphony of protective cells and bio-molecules acting together to rapidly recognize potentially harmful microbes and eliminate them. But the orchestration of this complex system depends on a continuous and ample supply of essential nutrients – vitamins, minerals, essential fats and other nutrients A growing body of research shows that the nutritional content of our food has sharply declined over the course of the last century. As the use of high yield industrial farming practices has increased, so the nutritional content has decreased. The War Against Viruses shows how without a rounded intake of essential nutrients our immune response may be compromised. It provides advice on how to recognize gaps in our nutritional arsenal. It offers a personal supplement regime that can overcome potential dietary shortfalls, strengthening immune response to infection and helping reduce the potential for lethal illness.

I was reminded of the mediaeval 'scholares vagantes' (wandering scholars) with Peggy like a modern day tour guide whose itinerary was to have us travel from place to place, teacher to teacher, seeking wisdoms. - DAVID EPSTON, MSW, Co-founder, Narrative Therapy. From the foreword. This is a breakthrough book. It offers teachers and students in human service work a way to transcend classroom walls (and mindsets) by adding the fifth dimension of the World Wide Web. Any teacher, any student of relationship therapy will be inspired by the many examples of the effect of "learning on a cloud" that Sax puts into her spacecraft of a delicious, lively book. - LYNN HOFFMAN , LICSW, Author, Exchanging Voices: A collaborative approach to family therapy; Family Therapy: An Intimate Journey Peggy Sax provides a model to aspire to of how online learning platforms can be used to enrich systematic learning. I know of no better account of how to teach and to learn therapeutic practice in the era of online learning. Without being taught in any didactic or pedantic way, you cannot help but find yourself responding, reflecting and learning. - JOHN WINSLADE, PHD, Coordinator of Educational Counseling Program, Dept of Educational Psychology & Counseling, California State University San Bernardino One does not 'read' so much as 'engage' with the pages of this book, positioning the reader as an active participant in the learning process. As a newer instructor, I was inspired to expand upon my collaborative processes in the classroom, through the increased use of technology and dialogue between students, practitioners and consumers. As a student, it is a rare experience to read a text that simultaneously introduces and embodies the theoretical framework that it espouses. - BETH PRULLAGE, LICSW, Doctoral Candidate, Simmons College School of Social Work, Adjunct Faculty, Simmons College SSW and Smith College SSW As a teacher I was engaged from the first page in reflecting on extending my own teaching practices.

Spanish Civil WarMarch 2020‘BRIGADISTAS’
LIVES FOR LIBERTY.
by Jordi Martí-Rueda
Fanny Schoonhey was said to be the bravest woman in Barcelona. Felicia Browne decided it was time to put down her paintbrushes for the gun. The Nielsen brothers took three bicycles and pedalled all the way from Copenhagen to the Pyrenees. Penny Phelps, a nurse, was worried about the wine in a fur vessel that had been shared by many and was about to be handed to her. During the Spanish Civil War something extraordinary happened. Thousands of men and women from all over the world left their families and jobs to cross borders to fight fascism in the Iberian peninsula. History had never seen a wave of solidarity like this and it has not been seen since. ‘Brigadistas’ gives us 60 stories on those who took part in the International Brigades. They could be fictional material but the tales are real. And they tell us how during the epic events of the Civil War people loved, dared, and were scared. They wanted to cry and even laugh. Keeping their memories alive is more necessary than ever.
