 The Spitfire Kids: The generation who built, supported and flew Britain's most beloved fighter by Alasdair Cross 2021 | ASIN: B08MFQN1PV, ISBN: 1472281969 | English | 368 pages | EPUB | 6 MB THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER  The Sense of Taste: Of genes, molecules and the fascinating biology of one of the most fundamental senses English | 2021 | ISBN: 3658322322 | 57 Pages | PDF EPUB | 6 MB In this essential, Petra Schling gives an overview of the current state of research on the topic of taste. She regards taste as a sensory perception that allows us to distinguish essential food components from toxins. What we eat depends not insignificantly on how we like it. But how do we actually taste - and what do we taste? As omnivores, we humans have a relatively wide range of taste receptors, not only in our mouths, which provide us with important information about our food. Outside the mouth, taste receptors serve our innate immune system to "taste" bacteria, worms and other intruders. We can and should rely on this. Our sense of taste warns us of toxins and unwanted co-inhabitants and can only be deceived to a very limited extent by sweeteners, bitter blockers or similar tricks.

The Politics of Contaminated Sites Management by Johann Dupuis English | PDF | 2015 | 174 Pages | ISBN : 3319113062 | 4.3 MB By the end of the 1970s, contaminated sites had emerged as one of the most complex and urgent environmental issues affecting industrialized countries. The authors show that small and prosperous Switzerland is no exception to the pervasive problem of sites contamination, the legacy of past practices in waste management having left some 38,000 contaminated sites throughout the country. This book outlines the problem, offering evidence that open and polycentric environmental decision-making that includes civil society actors is valuable. They propose an understanding of environmental management of contaminated sites as a political process in which institutions frame interactions between strategic actors pursuing sometimes conflicting interests.
