A monograph collection on various topics with implications on new or possible advances with ligno-cellulose research in regards to animal feeding and also lending itself to bioenergy feedstock. It is an informative discussion for the research scientist, and in particular, the specialist in ruminant nutrition covering such topics as follows. Enzyme technology, applied to crop post-harvest technology, with novel microbial anaerobic lignases, aerobic lignases and other extracellular fibrolytic enzymes (EFEs), boosting water-soluble carbohydrate (WSC) content in new tropical forage-type feeds, action of proteases in plant feed material and digestion, lowering lignin content and use of lacasse for bio-bleaching lignocellulose, as examples. Feed resources discussed, in particular in Asia, including sugarcane and use of bagasse and tops, grasses and legumes, with resources for food and feed farming systems and legume browse tree and shrubs for feed. The issues of various pre-treatments and crop improvements with biotechnology and digestion are discussed.

"Contemporary Issues, Science, Africa and More" attends to very sensitive and contemporary issues pertaining to Biotechnology such as human cloning and Genetic Engineering. It also comprises such areas as Affirmative Action, one�s right to abortion, one�s right to sexual choice(s), questions relating to whether Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a hero or not and other similar but controversial issues. In addition, there are topics included in "Contemporary Issues, Science, Africa and More" relating to matters of ethnicity, culture and development, in particular as they impact Africa. Those studying Philosophy or Law will augment their own skills of debate and their organizing and presentation of arguments. History and Social Studies students, as well as students of African Studies, will benefit immensely from this text and will acquire a new outlook on culture and its usefulness in Africa. Students of Science will sharpen their knowledge and skills in the areas of Biotechnology in areas such as Molecular/Cellular Biology, and in particular in the understanding of biological concepts such as cloning, Genetic Engineering, Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA), stem cells, embryonic stems cells and so on. Teachers not trained in Science or pressed with time to do research, will have a simple reference guide in "Contemporary Issues, Science, Africa and More". One�s debating skills, skills and knowledge in Science and overall knowledge of contemporary issues will be greatly enhanced after reading this book.
