Sommario/riassunto

Climate Change and Mycotoxins highlights the importance of the continuous study of climate change impacts on mycotoxigenic fungi and their toxins in food and feed crops. Changing climate conditions across every geographical zone greatly affect rainfall, temperature and



concentration of greenhouse gases leading to loss in yield and quality of food crops. In outstanding contributions, the authors compile current evidence on the influence of climate change on mycotoxigenic fungi and mycotoxins in food crops pre- and postharvest and during storage of food and animal feed. The chemistry and biology of toxin production is revised and an outlook on control and prevention of the toxin's impact on food and animal feed is given. The editors recommend this book to mycologists, mycotoxicologists, pathologists, epidemiologists, toxicologists, physicians, veterinarians, nutritionists, the food and feed industries, legislators, analytical chemists, microbiologists, or students of these fields. • Unique compilation on the impact of climate change on mycotoxins based on observed trends over the last 10 years. • Special focus on the implications for food and feed safety. • Latest advances on prediction and prevention of mycotoxin threats to human and animal health. About the Editors Luis M. Botana Is a full Professor of Pharmacology at the University of Santiago, from 2004-2012 director of the Department of Pharmacology and former Fogarty Fellow at the School of Medicine of the Johns Hopkins University. He has been director of the European Reference Laboratory for Marine Toxins from 2004 to 2009. He is author of 25 international patents, over 300 scientific papers and editor of 10 international books. María J. SainzIs an associate Professor of Agriculture and Forage Production and Conservation at the University of Santiago de Compostela. She has been a visiting scientist at the Rothamsted Experimental Station and for ten years head of the department of Plant Production. Her research interests focus on fungal pathogen detection and diagnostics, mycorrhizal fungi in crop protection and production, and mycotoxigenic fungi and mycotoxins on forage crops and animal feed.

Sommario/riassunto

This comprehensive handbook addresses issues related to anti-discriminatory education as it relates to children, youth, young adults,



families, and practitioners across a series of age groups, sectors, communities, and countries. It seeks to map a holistic interdisciplinary overview of the field examining how policies, practices, and initiatives within unique social, political, and cultural contexts have been enacted to advance anti-discriminatory education for improved equity, diversity, and inclusion outcomes leading to thriving school-community ecosystems. The work draws on a range of theoretical frameworks, hybrid perspectives, and research projects to provide multiple examples about the challenges, complexities, and nuances involved in theorizing and doing the work of anti-discriminatory education in local communities and on a macro institutional level. With intentionality, authors from various backgrounds, identities, fields, and positionalities describe and discuss various social justice and equity issues and how they strategize, mobilize, and navigate unique micro and macro dynamics affiliated with power and privilege for the purpose of advancing the field of anti-discriminatory education. Overall, the chapters cover a range of topics and issues from various practitioners and community perspectives around the intersectionality and divergence of navigating micro lived experiences and macro institutional policies and practices to bridge the gap between theory and action with respect to anti-discriminatory education. The book is divided into 4 sub-sections: Early Childhood Education (Early years up to approx. 10 years old), Elementary and Middle School Years (approx. 11 to 14 years old), Secondary Schools (approx. 15 to 19 years old), and Higher Education (Post-Secondary).
