Provides in-depth current information on the range of edible mushrooms currently under commercial cultivation worldwide. Topics covered include general objectives of culture collection and breeding, the genetic systems of edible mushrooms and the molecular biological approaches to breeding.

A complete survey of the science and technology of wine-making, this book offers readers a guided tour through the production, cultivation, evaluation and distribution of high quality wine.

Outlining the fundamentals of phenomenological transfer theory, this text provides a medium statistical wave treatment of radiative transport processes.

Evaluating the cost of acquiring major pieces of equipment also necessitates costing their life maintenance. Providing coverage of recent advances in this field, this book covers such topics as reliability improvement warranty, computer hardware/software costing, and reliability engineering.

A textbook specifically aimed at undergraduate students in mechanical, aerospace, chemical and civil engineering, as well as physics and chemistry. Areas covered in the text include chemical thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, deflagrations, and detonations in premixed media.

A textbook on linear algebra and geometry covering a wide range of classical and modern topics. It illustrates the many-sided applications and connections of linear algebra with functional analysis, quantum mechanics and algebraic and differential geometry.

Provides a source of critically evaluated water-quality data concerning the effects of chromium, nickel, aluminium and nitrite on freshwater fish and includes an assessment of the toxicity of mixtures. The reports cover all stages of the life cycle and relevant trophic levels.

Provides an overview of the use of the trombone in America and in seven European countries. It uses 24 reproduced texts and relevant English translations to trace its origins to the middle of the 17th century. The texts were all published between 1697 and 1811.

First Published in 1988. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

This compilation of papers provides useful insights on the differing approaches to water quality and the diversity of strategies in water quality management worldwide

This text explores the many meanings of photography as documentation for the art historian, inspiration for the artist, and as a means of interpretation of works of art. It includes essays from noted authorities in the fields of art history, architecture and photography.

First Published in 1992. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

Deals with the physical processes used for the separation of secondary metals from waste sources. The volume aims to bring together technical information on metals recovery from a wide range of sources in order to give a unified review of an important engineering and environmental topic.

Intended for those interested in business, international business and marketing, this book offers a different approach to the study of international business networking: through interpretation, learning by doing, and trust and co-operation in the international business community.

Offering the insights of L.S. Pontryagin, one of the foremost thinkers in modern mathematics, the second volume in this four-volume set examines the nature and processes that make up topological groups. Already hailed as the leading work in this subject for its abundance of examples and its thorough explanations, the text is arranged so that readers can follow the material either sequentially or schematically. Stand-alone chapters cover such topics as topological division rings, linear representations of compact topological groups, and the concept of a lie group.

A guidebook facilitating the use of "Beyond Words" materials. Topics discussed include the purpose, themes and interpretation of "beyond words", and the different analyses of movement as a non-verbal mode of expression. This instructor's text offers ideas for attaining the required learning goals.

Presents solutions to questions of dating composition, provenence and technology through the application of instrumental techniques to archaeological materials. This study also examines the reconstruction of early environments in order to understand ancient technologies.

This work examines the increasing trend in transnationalism. Through ethnographic studies of immigrant populations from St Vincent, Grenada, Haiti and the Philippines to the United States, it aims to demonstrate that transnationalism challenges the concepts of citizenship and nationhood.

Treats certain problems and methods of theoretical physics and astrophysics which are associated with microscopic and macroscopic electrodynamics and material concerning the theory of transition radiation and transition scattering.

With its emphasis on the roles that gender plays in the creation, reception and interpretation of comic art, this work looks critically at generic and gender diversity as well as comedy's underlying unities.

This book provides an introduction to quantum optics for experimental physicists and for college students who have studied quantum mechanics. Its distinguishing feature is its emphasis on multimode fields with correlating different-frequency modes, notably on their phenomenological description and on the practical methods of generating them. The phenomena described in this book provide an opportunity to study nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics and to master many important concepts of theoretical physics.

A collection of essays which offer glimpses of the city as it appears in films, novels, photographs, poems, architecture, essays, stagings and journals. The book moves from historical and concrete perspectives of New York, Paris, London and Chicago to the abstract city of the mind.
