Book Announcement

A new guide to teaching Latin by a University of Cambridge specialist calls for a rethink of how the subject is being taught in schools and universities, arguing that outdated, 1950s-style practices are linked to falling student numbers in Britain and the United States. Drawing on evidence from modern languages education, it suggests that students should be taught to speak in Latin, and to use it in music, storytelling and other active ways - rather than just rote-learning vocabulary and grammar. The guide also highlights the work of a movement of teachers who are challenging tradition by introducing new techniques to teach Latin - some of their more unusual methods include translated Taylor Swift hits and Disney songs; Minecraft and Lego-based learning experiences, and Latinised fan fiction.

Rethinking design through the lens of embodied cognition provides a novel way of understanding human interaction with technology.

This technical reference <i>Advanced Nanocatalysis for Organic Synthesis and Electroanalysis</i> covers information about modern nanocatalysts and their applications in organic syntheses, electrochemistry and nanotechnology.

The book “Parasitic Weeds of Jordan: Species, Hosts, Distribution and Management - Part 1” introduces the most recent research findings on selected parasitic weeds that occur in Jordan and are also spread in Middle Eastern countries. It is a valuable source of information for researchers, students as well as farmers, giving readers a better understanding of these regional parasites and their unusual growth patterns.

Stem cell and regenerative medicine research is an important area of clinical research which promises to change the face of medicine as it will be practiced in the years to come. Challenges in the 21st century to combat diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and retinal disorders, among others, may well be addressed employing stem cell therapies and tissue regeneration techniques. Frontiers in Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Research brings updates on multidisciplinary topics relevant to stem cell research and their application in regenerative medicine. The series is essential reading for researchers seeking updates in stem cell therapeutics and regenerative medicine.

Frontiers in Clinical Drug Research - Hematology is a book series that brings updated reviews to readers interested in learning about advances in the development of pharmaceutical agents for the treatment of hematological disorders. The scope of the book series covers a range of topics including the medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, molecular biology and biochemistry of natural and synthetic drugs employed in the treatment of anemias, coagulopathies, vascular diseases and hematological malignancies

Advances in biochemistry, molecular biology, virology, and structural biology have enabled the researchers in veterinary medicine to make many exciting discoveries that have, in some cases, conceptually revolutionized our understanding of the discipline. Emerging Trends in Veterinary Virology is a review of selected topics about viral infections in animals. 11 chapters cover recent findings about specific viruses that infect a variety of hosts. The contents cover several types of veterinary infections in birds (Infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT), avian leucosis), cats (feline rabies), dogs (canine distemper), bovines (viral leukemia) and equines (hendra virus disease). Additionally, special topics such as the epidemiology of veterinary zoonoses and SARS are also covered. The book provides updated information for researchers (virologists, microbiologists), students and veterinarians, alike.

Silver Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Functionalization and Applications presents detailed information about the range of methods of synthesizing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The book systematically delves into the subject with an introductory chapter before moving to chemical synthesis of AGnPs and fabrication methods which help in assigning functional properties for useful nanomaterials. Basic and advanced synthetic methods like surface functionalization and bio conjugation are covered. Additionally, the book informs about impactful applications of AGNPs across a range of industries. Through this book, readers will be able to understand the importance of silver nanoparticles as a futuristic material in scientific investigations and gain a comprehensive understanding of the operational strategies revolving around their surface modification and conjugation.

The Evolution of Radionanotargeting towards Clinical Precision Oncology" is a remarkable book honoring Professor Kalevi Kairemo’s work, who has been a pioneer in novel radiolabeled therapeutics. Provides an overview of key advances in the field of radionanotargeting, and the directions for future development in patient care. All this research is based on multiomics, which involves multiple elements: genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, microbiomics, epigenomics, exposome, imaging, and precision medicine. Radionanotargeting evolved to a practice changing therapeutic approach in the clinic, particularly in oncology.
