The exigencies of life in the desert environment have resulted in the se- lection of a diversity of adaptations, both morphological and physiologi- cal, in the flora and fauna.
The European Forest Institute (EFI) has five Research and Development priority ar- eas: forest sustainability, forestry and possible climate change, structural changes in markets for forest products and services, policy analysis, and forest sector informa- tion services and research methodology.
The soil is the medium through which pollutants originating from human activities, both in agriculture and industry, move from the land surfaces to groundwater.
Deserts, whether hot or cold, are considered to be one of the most difficult environments for living systems, lacking the essential free water which ac- counts for approximately 60-70% of their body mass and more than 98% of their constituent atoms {Macfarlane 1978}.
This book is a collection of systematically prepared case studies describing the environmental policy ofthirteen countriesin terms ofcapacity-building.
Having received the invitation from Springer-Verlag to produce a volume on drug-induced birth defects for the Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology, we asked ourselves what new approach could we offer that would capture the state of the science and bring a new synthesis of the information on this topic to the world's literature.

Physiological, pharmacological and molecular biological data generated over the past three decades have demonstrated the existence of two major families of extracellular receptors, the P1, a family of four G-protein coupled receptors and the P2, a family of at least 12 receptors responsive to purine (ATP, ADP) and pyrimidine (UTP) nucleotides through which adenosine and ATP can function as extracellular messengers.
