Encyclopedia of the Eye, Second Edition, Four Volume Set is an important resource for all visual scientists, ophthalmologists, and optometrists, as well as researchers in immunology, infectious disease, cell biology, neurobiology, and related disciplines. This four-volume reference is unique in its coverage of information on all tissues important for vision, including the retina, cornea, and lens. The book also covers the physiological and pathophysiologic processes that affect all eye tissues. Each chapter addresses one specific structure or process, reviews basic concepts, cross-references other chapters within the Encyclopedia, and provides citations of relevant primary publications.It is an invaluable resource for undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, medical students, and residents seeking an introduction to an area of eye research. It will be particularly useful for visual scientists and practitioners who are investigating a new area, seeking deeper understanding of important research articles in fields adjacent to their own, and/or reviewing a grant or manuscript outside their immediate area of expertise.

Microbial Inoculants: Soil Dynamics and Nutrient Bioavailability is an essential volume in the Plant and Soil Microbiome series. This book delves into the foundational and contemporary details regarding the use of microbial inoculants, which are living organisms like fungi, bacteria, and microalgae, sourced from soil, plants, water, and organic materials. Acting as biostimulants or biocontrol agents, these inoculants offer an environmentally-frie... alternative to synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, playing a crucial role in soil conservation, plant health, and crop yield enhancement.Apart from exploring the nexus between plant and soil, the book also discusses the range of applications of microbial inoculants in agricultural and environmental practices. It provides insights into how these microorganisms contribute to sustainable farming by enhancing nutrient bioavailability and protecting crops from diseases, thus promoting better yield and overall plant vitality. This volume is a valuable resource for those interested in advancing agricultural techniques through the utilization of natural, biotic solutions.
