Terrestrial moss communities are widely distributed among the Earth's major biomes, including equatorial to polar latitudes. Because of their high primary productivity, relatively dense vegetative structure, and alteration of the substratum through deposition of organic matter, moss communities often support rich and diversified microbial communities. This book examines microbial communities in terrestrial moss in further detail. It also discusses terrestrial mosses as trace element bioindicators; moss bioreactors; the ecological diversity and application for agricultural microbiology; small scale area investigation for heavy metals air pollution; biomonitoring of atmospheric pollution using mosses; the impact of forest decline on fine-scale vertical distribution of epiphytic bryophytes; and the use of mosses in criminal investigations.

The evidence of a fabulous ancient past is about to be lost forever with the death of an enigmatic recluse. The last people to witness this mysterious civilisation's power were blown up by an explosion that baffled and alarmed the authorities who attempted to commit its existence to oblivion. Dr Duncan Parfait is charismatic, a little shambolic, and totally convinced that there could be no intelligent culture pre-dating the present one. The unequivocal proof that there was sets his preconceptions and world on its head. Without giving a thought to it being too true to be good, he sets out to excavate submerged cities and write a book which contradicts all those assumptions made by historians and archaeologists that went before.

Isaiah Moss was one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. His illegitimate son Oscar Kendall wasn't. Living in Isaiah's inescapable shadow, Oscar has become an inveterate quitter who hides his own literary work from the world rather than suffer the pain of failure or rejection. But when Isaiah suddenly dies, Oscar inherits the old man's lakefront writing cabin in New Hampshire. There he finds his father's typewriter, a full liquor cabinet, and an unpublished manuscript of such genius that it could launch Oscar's career if he claims it as his own.But as Oscar wrestles with his own twisted inspirations, he meets the women in Isaiah's life and begins to learn the depths of his father's secrets...and the costs that come with unresolved trauma and romantic delusion.
An aging botanist withdraws to the seclusion of his family’s vacation home in the German countryside. In his final days, he realizes that his life’s work of scientific classification has led him astray from the hidden secrets of the natural world. As his body slows and his mind expands, he recalls his family’s escape from budding fascism in Germany, his father’s need to prune and control, and his tender moments with first loves. But as his disintegration into moss begins, his fascination with botany culminates in a profound understanding of life’s meaning and his own mortality.Visionary and poetic, Moss explores our fundamental human desires for both transcendence and connection and serves as a testament to our tenuous and intimate relationship with nature.Klaus Modick is an award-winning author and translator who has published over a dozen novels as well as short stories, essays, and poetry.

Hvorfor dør noen ting langsomt og umerkelig, mens andre raskt og uforklarlig?Moss er en postindustriell krim om en samfunnsorden i oppløsning, og om en mann som skammer seg uten helt å forstå hvorfor.

The last decade has seen considerable changes in the main Regulation on cross-border insolvencies in the EU, the EU Regulation on Insolvency Proceedings (EIR). Many of those changes have been fundamental, including the application of the Recast EIR and the departure of the United Kingdom from the European Union. As EU law and its effect on member-states changes, Moss, Fletcher and Isaacs on the EU Regulation on Insolvency Proceedings remains the guide for legal precedents while including new developments in the field. Each edition of this seminal work has served as a practical tool for lawyers and students alike, being widely cited within the EU and domestic courts. This fourth edition includes a new Chapter dealing with the impact of the UK's departure from the EU on insolvency proceedings in the UK. It also examines new case law from the European Court of Justice (ECJ), including ^iUB v VA (exclusive jurisdiction under Insolvency Regulation), Silverira v Espirito Santo (Article 15 - effect on lawsuits pending), and Wiemer & Trachte GmbH v Tadzher (Article 6 - jurisdiction re avoidance actions). An invaluable resource for practitioners and academics alike, this updated volume provides an expert commentary on the evolution in the EIR- which will be useful to lawyers not only within the CJEU but in all 27 member states as well.
Moss on Stone was inspired by the diary of the young Susannah Norwood Torrey (1826-1908), told from her perspective in an afterlife. She speaks to us who live in a very different time, but not so different in experience. All times are times of change, fraught with the joys and sorrow of being human. Here is Susannah's story of dreams and dreams fading, of love and loss, of time passing, and of people and places changed. Moss on Stone seamlessly weaves Susannah's diary entries with fictional narrative in the context of mid-nineteenth century Cape Ann, Massachusetts.

Since that time, he has written more than twenty plays and has created screenplays for several award-winning Canadian television series, including Due South, The Newsroom, This Is Wonderland, and The Line, as well as for the film Niagara Motel (based on three plays from his Suburban Motel series). Part Kafka, part Lewis Carroll, Walker's distinctive, gritty, fast-paced comedies satirize the selfishness, greed, and aggression of contemporary urban culture. Awards and honours include appointment as a Member of the Order of Canada (2005); National Theatre School Gascon-Thomas Award (2002); two Governor General's Literary Awards for Drama (for Criminals in Love and Nothing Sacred); five Dora Mavor Moore Awards; and eight Chalmers Canadian Play Awards. Patrick McDonald is artistic director of Green Thumb Theatre, where he has directed more than seventy-five productions and overseen the commissioning and development of more than fifty new plays for children, teens, and young adults.
