Written for advanced undergraduate students, this book is a practical, in-depth guide to plant virology. Beginning with an introduction to viruses and their classification, the text describes virus pathology, including how viruses enter and move through plant cells and induce disease. Subsequent chapters discuss how viruses spread in the field and how to measure this. Throughout, the book remains reader-friendly, using focus boxes for clear, easy to obtain information, enabling students to quickly access relevant information but supply sufficient detail for advanced studies. In addition to basic information on virus biology there is an additional focus on applied virology, ideal for students undertaking agricultural studies for whom study of disease and its control is essential.

What will it mean for society if science enables us to choose a future child whose health, athletic ability or intelligence is predetermined? This future is becoming ever more likely with the latest developments in human reproduction -- but concerns are growing about the implications. New procedures making possible heritable genetic modifications such as genome editing open the door to ‘sanitized’ selective eugenics; but these practices have some unnerving similarities to the discredited eugenic programmes of early twentieth-century regimes. A Christian perspective based on Scripture gives us the resources we urgently need to evaluate both current and future selection practices. Calum MacKellar offers an accessible, inter-disciplinary analysis, blending science, history and Christian theology. This book will enable you to become fully informed about the new scientific developments in human reproduction – developments that will affect us all.
With the development of new direct interfaces between the human brain and computer systems, the time has come for an in-depth ethical examination of the way these neuronal interfaces may support an interaction between the mind and cyberspace. In so doing, this book does not hesitate to blend disciplines including neurobiology, philosophy, anthropology and politics. It also invites society, as a whole, to seek a path in the use of these interfaces enabling humanity to prosper while avoiding the relevant risks. As such, the volume is the first extensive study in cyberneuroethics, a subject matter which is certain to have a significant impact in the 21st century and beyond.

Life is good. Drugs, booze, sex, and plenty of money. But, when blank passports are found in an important client's wealth management office, these baby boomer professionals find themselves in terrible trouble. They can't trust their colleagues or their bosses and HMRC are after them as well. But much worse, so are the people working for Jorge Perez - the chief money launderer for the infamous Los Zetas drug cartel. "... He had only met Jorge once; on that occasion he was invited to dinner during which he had to watch a man killing someone's wife. It became apparent that a video of the killing was going to be sent to her husband because he had displeased Jorge in some way."
Diana Hamilton is a strong, successful, wealthy woman. She owns the most discreet, exclusive and expensive private members club in Mayfair. But when she decides to expand beyond London she encounters two truly terrible brothers. They have made millions over the years, importing heroin, cocaine, ketamine and illegal immigrants. But they want more. And her business looks like a soft target. “What terrified him the most was the dentist chair and the straps - until he saw the metal rings attached to the ceiling and the rings in the floor below.”
Chief Superintendent Jackie Starling is a ruthless, ambitious, senior officer in the UK National Crime Agency. Tasked with closing down the "County Lines" drug dealers she is determined to get a result; whatever it takes. Catching and convicting the dealers is easy enough; most of them are children. But these results are temporary and the young criminals are replaced within days. Starling needs a different strategy and so faces a choice: Stay within the rules and chip away at the foot soldiers or kill the bosses? She decides to go for the bosses. She knows someone capable of carrying out the tasks ahead and she has the power to persuade him to deliver. But Starling has no idea what they will be up against or the prospect of a horrifying death that she will be facing. "County Lines" is the UK distribution model that involves urban gangs expanding their markets for crack cocaine and heroin into smaller towns by setting up phone lines through which they sell the Class A drugs.
