Oil People
Author: David Huebert
Publisher: McClelland & Stewart
ISBN: 0771005202
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
Part generational saga, part eco-gothic fable, Oil People is a luminous debut novel about history and family, land and power, and oil as an object of toxic wonder. 1987: Thirteen-year-old Jade Armbruster lives with her parents and older sister on the family’s vintage oil farm—a decrepit property built by her ancestor. As her parents fight about whether to sell the land and their failing business, Jade struggles to avoid her best-friend-turned-nemesis and vies for the attention of the enigmatic farmer boy. Meanwhile, the oil swirling beneath her family’s home provokes erratic behaviours and offers murky revelations about her family’s history on this land. 1862: Clyde Armbruster catches his big break, striking Lambton County’s first gusher. The discovery brings wealth and opportunity to him and his wife Lise, but his daily proximity to oil leaves him infertile and may be the cause of his alarming, otherworldly visions. At the same time, Clyde and Lise develop an alliance with their eccentric and wealthy neighbours, a relationship that promises even more success until a fateful moment intertwines the two families, locking them into a bitter rivalry that lasts generations. As the two narratives coalesce, family secrets and deceits are slowly unveiled, and the slick spectre of oil seeps off the page, revealing a landscape smeared and stained, yet persistently alive. Intense and visceral, agile and lyrical, Oil People is a molten mirror for the petroleum age, and signals the arrival of a profound and vital voice.

Mineral Nutrition and Plant Stress Tolerance
Author: Md Sazzad Hossain
Publisher: Frontiers Media SA
ISBN: 2832552625
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 143
Book Description
Plants can accumulate essential mineral elements that are used in synthesizing a variety of important organic compounds and play crucial roles in metabolic pathways. Mineral elements are mainly derived from the soil in inorganic form. In soil, more than 60 mineral elements are present, but only macronutrients, micronutrients, and beneficial elements (e.g., cobalt, selenium, nickel, and silicon) are taken up by plants. Plant research has previously focused on essential plant nutrients (EPNs). But now we see that nutrients other than EPNs are also playing a vital role in plant adaptation, growth, and development. Furthermore, the interaction of non-essential elements with EPNs triggers plant stress tolerance, gaining attention as an important area of plant research. Abiotic and biotic stresses and their combinations influence many aspects of crop physiology and plant biochemistry. Therefore, understanding crops' physiological and biochemical responses to adverse environmental conditions is critical. While significant strides have been made in the domain of plant nutrition and stress tolerance, many aspects still remain unknown.
