The book demonstrates that the restoration should be aware that the perspective of the protagonists must be incorporated in the intervention process. This first-of-its-kind volume brings together historical ethnographic tourism and scientific research that leads to a sustainable project from the point of view of identity economy politics and society. This volume with over 50 color illustrations and many black and white photos will be valuable for college and research libraries undergraduate and graduate students researchers and professors in the field of cultural heritage and art as well as those involved in community-based research. | Conservation Tourism and Identity of Contemporary Community Art A Case Study of Felipe Seade’s Mural Allegory to Work”

Fish Histology From Cells to Organs

Fish Histology From Cells to Organs

This new volume provides up-to-date information that emphasizes the relationships and concepts by which cell and tissue structures of fish are inextricably linked with their function. The book also describes the most recent development in the sciences of fish histology. Covers the normal histology of six fish species the book provides detailed information on the histology of all organs of teleosts and includes 130 original photomicrographs tables updated terminology and expanded information with over 100 in color. This new volume Fish Histology: From Cells to Organs provides up-to-date information that emphasizes the relationships and concepts by which cell and tissue structures of fish are inextricably linked with their function. The book also describes the most recent development in the sciences of fish histology. Histology is the discipline of biology that involves the microscopic examination of tissue sections in order to study their structure and correlate it with function. Histology can detect signs of disease not easily recognized on gross examination and can therefore be of interest in fish health supervision. With fish constituting nearly 60% of all vertebrate species and of major worldwide economic importance as a food source the information presented here will be valuable. The volume begins with concise introduction into the histological techniques for fish sampling followed by an accurate up-to-date description of fish tissues. A chapter is devoted to each organ and organ systems in fish body as well. In addition the book includes particular diagrams to illustrate the structure of organs and to enhance the usefulness of the text. This volume is designed for use by veterinary medical scientists researchers biologists ichthyologists fish farmers veterinarians working in fisheries and of course by comparative histologists who want to learn more about the fish world. As a further aid to learning and identification numerous photomicrographs and electron micrographs accompany the text with particular emphasis on diagrams and tables to summarize morphologic and functional features of cells tissues and organs. | Fish Histology From Cells to Organs
