Sommario/riassunto |

Between 1979 and 1997 over a quarter of Britain's regional theatres closed down. Those that survived found themselves constantly on the brink, forced to reduce their programmes radically and to go dark for extended periods of time. Bringing Down the House delves into how and why this crisis occurred, and examines the long-term effects on Britain's theatre industry by revealing problems that extend beyond the Conservative government's scant regard for the arts, right back to the Second World War. By probing the history of regional theatres from the introduction of state funding, Turnbull uneart |

The world needs renewable and clean forms of energy. Biofuels offer an alternative to fossil fuels, but first-generation biofuels had many challenges to be overcome. One strategy that second-generation biofuels are employing is microbial technology.This compendium volume gathers together recent investigations within this vital field of research. It offers:An overview of the topicInvestigations into the varieties of microorganisms useful for this technologyPretreatment methodologiesGenetic engineering research that will further this technologyInternationally recognized experts contribute chapte |
