L. Tayler, Visualising physical geography: the how and why of using diagrams to teach geography 11-16. Abingdon, Oxon: Routledge, 2024. Accéder au livre This practical guide breaks down the complex and broad field of physical geography, demonstrating how diagrams can be used by teachers to effectively explain the key concepts behind many natural processes and landforms. Featuring over 200 diagrams that cover the key topics taught in Key Stage 3 and 4 Geography, the book shows teachers how they can convey age-appropriate concepts without overwhelming or oversimplifying.

F. O. Asiegbu et A. Kovalchuk, Éd., Forest microbiology: tree microbiome: phyllosphere, endosphere and rhizosphere, volume 1, London: Elsevier, 2021. Accéder au livre Forest Microbiology, Volume One: Tree Microbiome: Phyllosphere, Endosphere and Rhizosphere places an emphasis on the microbiology of leaves, needles, stems, roots, litter and soil. This comprehensive title is split into five sections, including the phyllosphere microbiome, endosphere, rhizosphere, archaea, viruses in forest ecosystem and microbiota of forest nurseries and tree pests, challenges and potentials. Microbial communities associated with various host trees and different tree tissues are compared, and generalists and specialists among tree-associated microbes are identified. In addition, biotic and abiotic factors determining the composition and the structure of forest tree microbial communities are presented, along with the concept of microbial 'hubs.'

F. O. Asiegbu et A. Kovalchuk, Éd., Forest microbiology: forest tree health, volume 2, London: Elsevier, 2022. Accéder au livre Forest Microbiology, Volume Two: Forest Tree Health highlights a range of emerging microbial phytopathogens of forest trees, along with novel approaches for managing tree pests and diseases in a changing climate. The book provides an overview of selected microbial pathogens of forest trees, with an emphasis on their biology, lifecycle, spreading mechanisms, impact on affected tree species and current and prospective control strategies.

F. O. Asiegbu et A. Kovalchuk, Éd., Forest microbiology: tree diseases and pests, volume 3, London: Elsevier, 2023. Accéder au livre Forest Microbiology: Tree Diseases and Pests, Volume Three in the Forest Microbiology series, provides an overview of major disease agents of trees, including viruses, phytoplasma, bacteria, fungi, nematodes and major insect pests. With a strong emphasis on genetics, biochemistry, physiology, evolutionary biology and population dynamics of the organisms involved, this book provides a comprehensive understanding on the health of forests. Sections cover important pest threats such as bark beetles, emerald ash borer, coffee borers, leaf cutting ants, cocoa mirids, and more.

S. L. Harris et D. M. Harris, Digital design and computer architecture, ARM® edition. Waltham, MA: Morgan Kaufmann, 2016. Accéder au livre Digital Design and Computer Architecture: ARM Edition covers the fundamentals of digital logic design and reinforces logic concepts through the design of an ARM microprocessor. Combining an engaging and humorous writing style with an updated and hands-on approach to digital design, this book takes the reader from the fundamentals of digital logic to the actual design of an ARM processor. By the end of this book, readers will be able to build their own microprocessor and will have a top-to-bottom understanding of how it works.

M.-C. Trouy-Jacquemet, Anatomie du bois : formation, fonctions et identification. Versailles: Quae, 2015. Accéder au livre Les petites cellules font les grands arbres ! Le bois est à la fois un tissu cellulaire végétal aux fonctions multiples, et une ressource renouvelable permettant de répondre aux besoins humains en matériau et en énergie. L'anatomie se situe au carrefour de connaissances, vers lesquelles convergent aussi bien les biologistes que les spécialistes du bois, car elle est une clé de compréhension d'une part pour la physiologie et la biomécanique de l'arbre, et d'autre part pour les propriétés physico-mécaniques du bois et de sa qualité en tant que matériau. L'anatomie des bois est par ailleurs un puissant outil d'identification des essences, pour des applications allant de l'expertise judiciaire à l'étude archéologique.

A. K. Garg, Classical electromagnetism in a nutshell. Princeton [N.J.]: Princeton University Press, 2012. Accéder au livre A comprehensive, modern introduction to electromagnetismThis graduate-level physics textbook provides a comprehensive treatment of the basic principles and phenomena of classical electromagnetism. While many electromagnetism texts use the subject to teach mathematical methods of physics, here the emphasis is on the physical ideas themselves. Anupam Garg distinguishes between electromagnetism in vacuum and that in material media, stressing that the core physical questions are different for each.

J. D. Seader, E. J. Henley, et D. K. Roper, Separation process principles with applications using process simulators, Fourth edition, EMEA edition. Hoboken, NJ: Wiley, 2016. Accéder au livre Separation Process Principles with Applications Using Process Simulator, 4th Edition is the most comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of the major separation operations in the chemical industry. The 4th edition focuses on using process simulators to design separation processes and prepares readers for professional practice. Completely rewritten to enhance clarity, this fourth edition provides engineers with a strong understanding of the field.

J. A. Conesa, Chemical reactor design: mathematical modeling and applications. Weinheim: Wiley-VCH, 2020. Accéder au livre A guide to the technical and calculation problems of chemical reactor analysis, scale-up, catalytic and biochemical reactor design Chemical Reactor Design offers a guide to the myriad aspects of reactor design including the use of numerical methods for solving engineering problems.

D. Ronze, Introduction au génie des procédés : applications et développements. S.l.: Lavoisier, 2013. Accéder au livre Cet ouvrage est le complément naturel du volume de référence précédemment paru en 2008, Introduction au génie des procédés. Issu d'une démarche commune de l'ensemble des départements Génie chimique-Génie des procédés des IUT de France, ce livre propose de nombreuses applications aux notions présentées antérieurement.

H. Fauduet, Procédés de séparation physico-chimique des solides. Paris: Lavoisier Tec & Doc, 2023. Accéder au livre À la fois traité de génie des procédés et manuel pratique, cet ouvrage présente les notions fondamentales, les applications et des résultats de travaux de recherche de l'auteur sur les opérations de séparation équilibrées faisant intervenir un solide. Les opérations décrites concernent l'extraction solide-liquide, l'absorption des gaz et des solutions, l'échange d'ions, la cristallisation par refroidissement d'une solution, le séchage et la déshydratation. Cet ouvrage est composé de deux parties.
