ATENTADOS TERRORISTAS: la nueva amenaza urbana
by Prof. H. Granot y el Dr. J. Levinson
ATENTADOS TERRORISTAS: la nueva amenaza urbana por el Prof. H. Granot y el Dr. J. Levinson En este trabajo sumamente relevante e innovador, los autores hacen hincapié en los métodos con los que organismos locales pueden responder a los peores atentados terroristas que han debido enfrentar las autoridades en centros urbanos y mitigar sus efectos. Los autores también combinan la teoría con la práctica, citando incidentes en todo el mundo —incluido el devastador ataque perpetrado el 11 de septiembre de 2001 contra el Centro de Comercio Mundial en Nueva York y contra el Pentágono— haciendo al mismo tiempo hincapié en la singular experiencia de Israel en este campo. En vista de la creciente amenaza de atentados terroristas y del acrecentado interés en la gestión de casos de emergencia, Atentados terroristas provee un bien fundado material de fondo a funcionarios y miembros de unidades de emergencia que tratan de comprender una de las peores amenazas al mundo moderno. Namiki Shobo ha publicado a fines de 2005 una versión en japonés de esta obra. Dekel, junto con THE KEY Publishing House Inc., de Toronto, Canadá, publicó en abril de 2009 una versión en inglés americano.

Agricultural scienceDecember 2004Flower Seeds
Biology and Technology
by Edited by Miller B McDonald, Francis Y Kwong, Frans Bongers, Marc P E Parren, Dossahua Traoré
The floral industry represents a significant proportion of agricultural income in several developed countries, particularly the USA, the Netherlands and Japan. Hitherto the sheer diversity of flower seeds, in their form, function and biology, has hindered the production of a comprehensive treatment of the topic. This book provides a unique and much-needed resource of information on the biology and technology of flower seeds. It presents in-depth information on the history and evolution of the ornamental and wild flower seed industries followed by recommendations for successful breed and production programs. A comprehensive coverage of the biology of flower seeds is considered as well as appropriate technologies associated with germination, vigor and viability testing. In this volume, the first of its kind, international authorities from academia and industry have been brought together to provide a comprehensive reference resource for both practitioners and students of seed science and technology and of ornamental horticulture.

This book provides evidence to support the health-promoting components of green tea for human health. It explores the significance of green tea and its catechins represented by epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), demonstrating their beneficial effects on diseases including cancer, obesity, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, hepatitis, and neurodegenerative diseases. The present status of human studies and avenues for future research are discussed. It is written by a team of experts from across the globe and makes significant Japanese findings available to international researchers. It is an essential resource for researchers interested in the biochemistry and pharmacology of green tea, and functional foods and beverages.
