Botany & plant sciencesJuly 2008Chemistry of Spices
by N. K. Leela, A. Shamina, N. S. Krishnamurthy. Edited by V A Parthasarathy, B Chempakam, T John Zachariah.
Spices are high value, export-oriented crops used extensively in food and beverage flavourings, medicines, cosmetics and perfumes. Interest is growing however in the theoretical and practical aspects of the biosynthetic mechanisms of active components in spices as well as the relationship between the biological activity and chemical structure of these secondary metabolites. A wide variety of phenolic substances and amides derived from spices have been found to possess potent chemopreventive, anti-mutagenic, anti-oxidant and anti-carcinogenic properties. Representing the first discussion of the chemical properties of a wide cross section of important spices, this book covers extensively the three broad categories of plant-derived natural products: the terpenoids, the alkaloids and the phenyl propanoids and allied phenolic compounds. Spice crops such as black pepper, ginger, turmeric and coriander are covered with information on botany, composition, uses, chemistry, international specifications and the properties of a broad range of common and uncommon spices.

The ArtsRise Up
Voices of Today's Indigenous Music
by Craig Harris
The heartbeat of powwow/round dance drums and the melodies of wooden end-blown flutes have woven into a magnificent tapestry that includes Indigenous rock, blues, pop. jazz, country music, punk, classical, opera, hip-hop, rap, and electronica music. Picking up where my book, Heartbeat, Warble, and the Electronic Powwow (University of Oklahoma Press, 2014) left off, Rise Up brings together the autobiographical reflections of Native American Music Awards (NAMMY), Juno, Grammy, and Polaris Prize winners between 2015 and 2020. The genre’s top artists not only discuss their music but also their memories, heritage, day-to-day lives, and challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. The very first volume about Native artists working commercially today, Rise Up presents artists speaking for themselves without being filtered through a stereotypical lens. Indigenous communities have been calling for self‐determination in self‐representation in their craft. Rise Up answers that call.
