Phytochemistry, Volume 1: Fundamentals, Modern Techniques, and Applications, the first of this three-volume set, provides comprehensive coverage of a wide range to topics in phytochemistry.

Animal behavior - or ethology - is the systemic study of the behavior of animals. This book looks at a range of topics covering a variety of animals, including how macaques teach their offspring, how rats transmit avoidance behavior, how supplementary feeding of treefrogs affects their breeding behavior, and more.

Research focusing on the indoor environments demonstrates that building occupants are exposed to a unique mixture of pollutants of chemical and biological origin. This book explores research on these unique exposures, the relevance of the indoor environment, and methods to control these exposures.

Focusing on new technological interventions involved in the postharvest management of fruits, this volume looks at the research on new and emerging techniques to maintain the quality of fruits from farm to table.

The book addresses that materials and structures with small-scale dimensions do not behave in the same manner as their bulk counterparts. Once materials dimensions are reduced to the micron- and-sub-micron range, their properties are subject to significant change.

This new book, Nanobiotechnology: Concepts and Applications in Health, Agriculture, and Environment, presents a broad conceptual overview regarding the synthesis, applications, and toxicological aspects of nanobiotechnology.

Presents a thought-provoking state-of-the-art picture of how volatile compounds are used in metabolomics. It provides a thorough description of what are volatile organic compounds, why are they important in biomedicine, and what are the analytical platforms used. It also looks at multivariate analysis and databases needs.

Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Adolescents (IPT-A) is a comprehensive guide for clinicians. It will enable the reader to add IPT-A to their clinical repertoire or to deepen their existing practice of IPT-A, using a time-limited, evidence-based intervention that is engaging for young people.
