Thriller | Rabenschwarzer Horror in der Hauptstadt | Eine fantastische Mischung aus Polizei- und Horrorroman
by Jesús Cañadas
Aus einem katholischen Mädcheninternat in Berlin ist die 16-jährige Rebecca Lilienthal verschwunden. Die beiden Kommissare Otto Ritter und Lukas Kocay machen sich auf die Suche nach ihr. Es scheint, als sei Rebecca einem Kult in Hände gefallen, der darauf spezialisiert ist, abenteuerlustige Mädchen und Frauen aus der Berliner Clubszene zu fangen, zu vergewaltigen und zu töten. Im Mittelpunkt dieser sinistren Aktivitäten steht ein Club namens »Das Loch« und dessen charismatischer Chef, der sich Laszlo Gupta nennt. Auf der Suche nach Rebecca stoßen die Polizisten auf immer mehr Hinweise auf eine »Raucherzone«, einen geheimen Ort unvorstellbarer Orgien und Laster. Und hinter Gupta zeichnet sich eine noch viel dunklere Gestalt ab: der König, ein mysteriöses, angeblich grauenhaft anzusehendes Monster. Aber wer hat den König schon je gesehen? Der Tod ist allerdings nur der Anfang und kann der Selbstermächtigung von Frauen keinen Einhalt gebieten.

Significance of Amino Acids and their Derivatives
by Penna Suprasanna, Yoshikatsu Murooka, Antonio J Márquez, Antonio F Tiburcio, A Aziz, Oscar A Ruiz, Vera Alexieva, Masayuki Fujita, Renu Bhardwaj, Jose Luis Casas Martinez, Firdaus -e- Bareen, B. Vidya Vardhini, Bhaskar Gupta. Edited by Naser A Anjum, Sarvajeet Singh Gill, Ritu Gill.
Plants constantly cope with unfavourable ecosystem conditions, which often prevent them reaching their full genetic potential in terms of growth, development and productivity. This book covers plants' responses to these environmental changes, namely, the modulation of amino acids, peptides and amines to combat both biotic and abiotic stress factors. Bringing together the most recent developments, this book is an important resource for researchers and students of crop stress and plant physiology.

April 2025Soil Health and Nutrition Management
by Naveen Chandra Joshi, Thomas Leustek, Prashant Kumar Singh, Arti Mishra, Vijayta Deepak Singh, Shalini Love, Shalini Porwal, Jaagiriti Tyagi, Mukul Joshi, Swati Mohapatra, Seema Pradhan, Priyanka Das, Deepanker Yadav, Charu Khosla Gupta, Kamlesh Choure, Manish Kumar Dubey, Sakshi Arora, Debananda S Ningthoujam
A major challenge for agriculture and future crop production is the deterioration in soil health and fertility. We have large areas of barren land across the globe with degraded soil which can only be made fertile by applying proper nutrition and soil health management practices. It is crucial to protect soil health in order to feed the world's ever-growing population. Healthy soil is a dynamic ecosystem containing microbes that aid in the breakdown of organic materials and minerals, increasing the availability of plant nutrients (nutrient recycling) and enhancing soil quality and crop output. Healthy soil also helps mitigate the impact of climate change by maintaining nutrients and sequestering atmospheric carbon. This book summarizes the numerous components of soil health management including cutting-edge technologies such as genome editing and rhizospheric engineering, together with conventional techniques for preserving soil nutrients.

Sources, Impacts and Controls
by Pallavi Saxena, Naik Vaishali, Amit Awasthi, Sangeeta Bansal, Monojit Chakraborty, Naveen Chandra, Arti Choudhary, Manisha Gaur, Vineet Goswami, Tarun Kumar Gupta, Harpreet Kaur, Priyanka Kulshrestha, Amit Kumar, Ruchi Kumari, Chinmay Mallick, Renu Masiwal, Vandana Maurya, Neha Mishra, Naik Vaishali, Prashant Rajput, Anuradha Shukla, Gyanesh Kumar Singh, Ravi Prakash Singh, Ruchi Singh, Saumya Singh, Saurabh Sonwani, Shani Tiwari
Air pollution has become a major global issue due to rapid industrialization, human population growth and increasing urbanization. The various sources of atmospheric pollutants, both those created by human activity and those from natural physical and biological processes, have become the focus of much scientific research and analysis. An understanding of how these many pollutants are affecting air quality is essential in order to design strategies to mitigate them. Written by a team of international experts, this book aims to provide a broad overview of the issues surrounding air pollution and how to control and monitor pollution levels. Beginning with a brief background on the subject, the book moves on to discuss global emissions, with an emphasis on megacities and their effects. Possible pollution control measures and methods of air pollution measurement and modelling are also explored. The book ends with descriptions of the various indices used for assessing air quality with a focus on human health impacts, and a discussion on policy making to control air pollution. The book will be useful to students of environmental science and atmospheric science, as well as environmental consultants and researchers interested in air quality . Key Features: Comprehensive introduction to the primary causes of air pollution today with an emphasis on growing urban populations and megacities Discusses both anthropogenic and biogenic emissions and their effects on human health and the environment Gives an overview of indices used today for assessing air quality and describes current methods for air pollution monitoring and modelling Discusses new technologies for mitigating the effects of air pollution and policy making for implementation of controls
