From National Geographic:
“The definitive Middle East Atlas provides an in-depth look into this critical region – its populations, religion and politics, cultural conflicts, holy sites, resources, and much more. Filled with maps, photographs, charts, and graphs that provide up-to-date insights.”
Provided on the CSA platform, Chemoreception Abstracts covers the areas of neurobiology, chemistry, chemoreception, chemotaxis, the physiology of taste and smell, pheromones, pollution studies, animal behavior, perfumery, and many other topics related to the physiology, psychology, and chemistry of taste and smell.
Cambridge Scientific Abstract’s platform allows for up to 9 search terms, combinable by AND, OR, and NOT in over 30 search fields, including author, publication year, title, journal title, and language. The search can be limited to a date range, English only, or to only the most recent update. CSA also provides for combining previous searches, and creating email alerts.
So far I’ve limited myself primarily to new book announcements and weekly resource spotlights, but I’d like to expand the content of this blog somewhat over the summer. What kind of things would you like to see posted here? Please post a comment here or email me at jryan1@lsu.edu.
