On pourrait presque assimiler l'existence du tabac, cette usine toxique complexe, à un moyen de suicide « voire même de suicide collectif », si lent et diabolique qu'il relève du plus illusoire des mirages hédoniques. Ce livre vise à présenter l'ensemble des connaissances actuelles fondamentales concernant le tabac et le tabagisme. Il est également destiné à éclairer le lecteur sur les phénomènes de dépendance en général, en se concentrant par essence sur le tabac. Une bonne connaissance des mécanismes pharmacologiques du tabagisme rend la compréhension de cette dépendance plus facile et favorise une meilleure prise en charge du patient par le médecin lors d'une consultation spécialisée en vue d'un sevrage. Vingt années d'expériences, de recherches et une participation dans l'enseignement ont permis de mettre l'accent sur ce que l'auteur considère être les « essentiels » de cette spécialité. L'avancée des connaissances permet de façonner la pratique courante de la tabacologie, à l'instar de marqueurs biologiques qui deviennent peu à peu des références en matière de dépistage ou de suivi. Les informations sur la dépendance, apportées par la génétique ainsi que le rôle primordial de l'expérimentation animale, mettent en évidence les causes psychologiques et pharmacologiques de la dépendance. Par le choix de son approche, cet ouvrage est accessible à tous, étudiants en médecine ou pharmacie, ou jeunes médecins inscrits en tabacologie gardant en mémoire les cours théoriques, ou encore praticiens déjà installés et expérimentés dans les disciplines de tabacologie, pneumologie ou traitant les maladies cardiovasculaires.

For centuries before Europeans came to the New World, tobacco had an important role in the religious and social life of the early peoples of Kentucky. W.F. Axton describes the various forms in which tobacco has been used, its quick adoption by the Old World, and its gradual development into the forms common today, especially the blended cigarette. Little has been written about the place occupied by Burley leaf in the economic life of the Commonwealth, where tobacco is still the most important crop. Tobacco in Kentucky is accompanied by charts and maps illustrating the many aspects of tobacco

Drew A. Swanson has written an "environmental" history about a crop of great historical and economic significance: American tobacco.  A preferred agricultural product for much of the South, the tobacco plant would ultimately degrade the land that nurtured it, but as the author provocatively argues, the choice of crop initially made perfect agrarian as well as financial sense for southern planters.   Swanson, who brings to his narrative the experience of having grown up on a working Virginia tobacco farm, explores how one attempt at agricultural permanence went seriously awry. He weaves together social, agricultural, and cultural history of the Piedmont region and illustrates how ideas about race and landscape management became entangled under slavery and afterward. Challenging long-held perceptions, this innovative study examines not only the material relationships that connected crop, land, and people but also the justifications that encouraged tobacco farming in the region.

It is our utmost pleasure to present a new book on tobacco BY-2 cells, Tobacco BY-2 Cells: From Cellular Dynamics to Omics, as the 58th volume in the book series Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry (BAF). It represents an extension of the previous book Tobacco BY-2 Cells,vol. 53 of the BAF. Moreover, the content is rather different from the latter and includes new topics, gleaned from the First International Symposium on Tobacco BY-2 Cells held at the Plant Science Center of the RIKEN, Yokohama, organized by Nagata, Matsuoka and Inze, in September 2004. To this symposium came more than 200 people from different parts of the world to discuss issues. Although most of the contributors to the previous volume of Tobacco BY-2 Cells gave talks on their subjects, there were many other speakers who presented new topics and approaches. So we enjoyed the symposium very much. Thus we decided to compile a new volume on tobacco BY-2 cells which includes these new topics. In addition, towards the end of the symposium, our common understanding was that the tobacco BY-2 cell system is still important in plant biology, in particular for studying the dynamic features of plant cells. We hope this volume is useful for plant biologists. Contents of the book are as follows: in Chapters I. 1–I. 6, various aspects of the cell cycle and cellular dynamics using BY-2 cells are described. In Ch- ters II. 1–II.

"Although tobacco is a legal substance, many governments around the world have introduced legislation to restrict smoking and access to tobacco products. Smokefree critically examines these changes, from the increasing numbers of places being designated as 'smokefree' to changes in cigarette packaging and the portrayal of smoking in popular culture. Unlike existing texts, this book neither advances a public health agenda nor condemns the erosion of individual rights. Instead, Simone Dennis takes a classical anthropological approach to present the first agenda-free, full-length study of smoking. Observing and analysing smoking practices and environments, she investigates how the social, moral, political and legal atmosphere of 'smokefree' came into being and examines the ideas about smoke, air, the senses, space, and time which underlie it. Looking at the impact on public space and individuals, she reveals broader findings about the relationship between the state, agents, and what is seen to constitute 'the public'. Enriched with ethnographic vignettes from the author's ten years of fieldwork in Australia, Smokefree is a challenging, important book which demands to be read and discussed by anyone with an interest in anthropology, sociology, political science, human geography, and public health."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
