CRÉATION contre. ÉVOLUTION

by Frederick Guttmann ...

Passionné de paléontologie, j'ai commencé il y a près de deux décennies à trouver de nombreuses failles dans la théorie de l'évolution. Les choses que j'étudiais et que je découvrais ne correspondaient pas aux affirmations des évolutionnistes, et je rencontrais de plus en plus d'incohérences, d'incongruités et même de mensonges purs et simples. Quelle était la raison de cela ? Pourquoi y aurait-il ... Read more

Engineering Nitrogen Utilization in Crop Plants

Edited by Ashok Shrawat, Adel Zayed, David A. Lightfoot ...

Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
This book discusses and addresses the rapidly increasing world population demand for food, which is expected to double by 2050. To meet these demands farmers will need to improve crop productivity, which relies heavily on nitrogen (N) fertilization. Production of N fertilizers, however, consumes huge amounts of energy and the loss of excess N fertilizers to leaching results in the pollution of ... Read more
