De wereld volgens Monsanto - Van dioxine tot gentechgewassen, een multinational die het goed met u voor heeft
door M.M. Robin

Monsanto, met vestigingen in 46 landen, is marktleider in genetisch gemanipuleerde gewassen en is een van de meest controversiële bedrijven in de industriële geschiedenis. Sinds de oprichting in 1901 legde dit van oorsprong chemische bedrijf zich o.a. toe op de productie van pcb’s en verdelgingsmiddelen als Agent Orange en ddt; het vocht de ene rechtszaak na de andere uit vanwege de dubieuze samenstelling van zijn producten, de misleidende reclames en het vervalsen van onderzoeksresultaten. In de jaren negentig bracht Monsanto de eerste kunstmatige groeihormonen voor melkvee op de markt en tegenwoordig is het ‘het Microsoft’ van het zaaigoed en daarmee van de voedselproductie in grote delen van de />Gebruikmakend van tot voor kort nog geheime documenten en van getuigenissen van...]]>
General and Applied Toxicology
door Bryan Ballantyne, Timothy C. Marrs, Tore Syversen

Encompassing 150 articles written by leading scientists in the field, the third edition of "General and Applied Toxicology" provides a comprehensive and in-depth review of the basic science of toxicology, its specializations, and the application of toxicological knowledge. This new edition reflects developments within the field that have taken place since the second edition was published in 1999. These include: new information developed in the areas of both the fundamental and applied aspects of toxicology; considerable increase in the development of fundamental information and its applications, refinement of technical methods, advances in mechanistic toxicology, and greater interest in areas of toxicology previously regarded as of limited scope; and, changing approaches to methodological, interpretative, regulatory, and ethical...]]>

Carbohydrates: The Essential Molecules of Life
door Robert V. Stick Spencer Williams

This book provides the 'nuts and bolts' background for a successful study of carbohydrates - the essential molecules that not only give you energy, but are an integral part of many biological processes. A question often asked is 'Why do carbohydrate chemistry?' The answer is simple: it is fundamental to a study of biology. Carbohydrates are the building blocks of life and enable biological processes to take place.Therefore the book will provide a taste for the subject of glycobiology. Covering the basics of carbohydrates and then the chemistry and reactions of carbohydrates this book will enable a chemist to gain essential knowledge that will enable them to move smoothly into the worlds of biochemistry, molecular biology and cell biology. This book includes perspective from new co-author Spencer Williams, who enhances coverage of the...]]>
Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards / speciale aanbieding
door Peter Urben

"Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards" is widely regarded as the reference work in this field - an assembly of all reported risks such as explosion, fire, toxic or high-energy events that result from chemical reactions gone astray, with extensive referencing to the primary literature. It is designed to improve safety in laboratories that perform chemical synthesis and general research, as well as chemical manufacturing plants. Entries are ordered by empirical formula and indexed under both name(s) and Chemical Abstracts Registry Numbers. This two-volume compendium focuses on reactivity risks of chemicals, alone and in combination; toxicity hazards are only included for unexpected reactions giving volatile poisons. The 2-volume set is available on an introductory price of $320/270/GBP185 until Jan 2007. Will then revert...]]>
