T. Abbasi, S. Tauseef, S. Abbasi, Pondicherry Univer- sity, Kalapet, India Biogas Energy
In recent years, the importance of biogas energy has risen manifold and has become universal. This is due to the realization that biogas capture and utilization has great potential in controlling global warming. By capturing biogas wherever it is formed, we not only tap a source of clean energy, but we also prevent the escape of methane to the atmosphere. Given that methane has 25 times greater global warming potential than CO2, methane capture through biogas energy in this manner can contribute substantially towards global warming control.
Features 7 This book gives a history of anaerobic digestion and biogas 7 Biogas is discussed in context with global warming 7 This book looks at biogas capture from watewaters and solid waste
Contents Foreword.- Preface.- Biogas and biogas energy: An introduction.- A brief history of anaerobic Diges- tion and ‘Biogas’.- Biogas and global warming.- Low-rate and high-rate anaerobic reactors/ digesters/fermenters.- Biogas capture from animal manure.- Biogas capture from wastewaters: The high-rate anaerobic digesters.- Biogas capture from solid waste.- Capture of biogas from landfills.

J. Waxman, Imperial College London, UK The Elephant in the Room Stories About Cancer Patients and their Doctors
The Elephant in the Room is a collection of short stories that creatively communicate the cancer patient’s journey. The stories, based on real-life accounts, are built around the idiosyncratic relationships between patients and their doctors. Using humor, empathy and wisdom, Jonathan Waxman explores the very human side of cancer as well as providing expert commentary on the clinical aspects of diagnosis and therapy of this disease. These stories comfort and entertain, inform and engage, and are a treat to read for anyone whose life has been affected by cancer.
Features 7 The author is both an expert in oncology and a gifted storyteller, making for a unique combination of sound clinical information and an informal, enjoyable style 7 Includes a range of cancer cases 7 Stories are taken from real-life accounts

G. Williams, Togaware Pty Ltd, Jamison Centre, ACT, Australia Data Mining with Rattle and R The Art of Excavating Data for Knowledge Discovery
Data mining is the art and science of intelligent data analysis. By building knowledge from infor- mation, data mining adds considerable value to the ever increasing stores of electronic data that abound today. In performing data mining many decisions need to be made regarding the choice of methodology, the choice of data, the choice of tools, and the choice of algorithms. Throughout this book the reader is introduced to the basic concepts and some of the more popular algorithms of data mining.
Features 7 Encourages the concept of programming with data - more than just pushing data through tools, but learning to live and breathe the data 7 Acces- sible to many readers and not necessarily just those with strong backgrounds in computer science or statistics 7 Details some of the more popular algorithms for data mining, as well as covering model evaluation and model deployment
