Mahesh, an ambitious boy passing through many hurdles and deflection from main path of life, finally becomes a cardiologist. Then he moves to America with an intention to be a super specialist in cardiology and to do exemplary research. His discovery to cure heart ailments in collaboration with an American molecular biologist, Dr. Rihanna originating from a tiny middle-east country of terrorists, whom he met incidentally in a social gathering, makes a sensation throughout world. Their further research project to eradicate influenza epidemic from world accidentally resulted into a biological weapon of mass killing. Dr. Mahesh and Dr. Rihanna’s romantic mission for testing the weapon over middle-east successfully materialized. But both of them were finally packed off by American military to a torturous prison in a remote American island. By dint of shear ingenious scientific tricks, the couple arrived to take safe shelter in an opponent country. They initiated behind the scene thereafter a peace treaty to be signed by two opponent countries via media of a non-aligned country. Thereafter their romantic life successfully bloomed into a fruit. Strict secrecy is maintained about the nitty-gritty of their creative and destructive research discoveries. And to be conversant with the fictional secrets and about the life of scientist-couple, one has to explore through details given in the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two species come to mind when one thinks of the Galapagos Islands—the giant tortoises and Darwin’s fabled finches. While not as immediately captivating as the tortoises, these little brown songbirds and their beaks have become one of the most familiar and charismatic research systems in biology, providing generations of natural historians and scientists a lens through which to view the evolutionary process and its role in morphological differentiation. In Darwin’s Finches, Kathleen Donohue excerpts and collects the most illuminating and scientifically significant writings on the finches of the Galapagos to teach the fundamental principles of evolutionary theory and to provide a historical record of scientific debate. Beginning with fragments of Darwin’s Galapagos field notes and subsequent correspondence, and moving through the writings of such famed field biologists as David Lack and Peter and Rosemary Grant, the collection demonstrates how scientific processes have changed over time, how different branches of biology relate to one another, and how they all relate to evolution. As Donohue notes, practicing science today is like entering a conversation that has been in progress for a long, long time. Her book provides the history of that conversation and an invitation to join in. Students of both evolutionary biology and history of science will appreciate this compilation of historical and contemporary readings and will especially value Donohue’s enlightening commentary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are hundreds of books and thousands of scientific articles about the Galápagos. This volume is distinctive. The authors, Guillermo Paz-y-Miño-C and Avelina Espinosa, synthesize, integrate, and conceptualize the most recent evolutionary-biology research being conducted in the archipelago’s terrestrial and aquatic environments; the conflicts resulting from human interactions with nature, including local population growth and tourism practices in the context of short- and long-term conservation efforts; and make predictions about the destiny of the Galápagos’ unique biodiversity and landscapes under various scenarios of climate-change impacts, urbanization trends, diversification of tourism, and conservation investments. Offering over 260 figures and diagrams, this work will appeal to a broad audience, including professors in academia, college instructors, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and research undergraduates. Another target audience is study-abroad and international field-trip instructors and their students who travel to the Galápagos year-round. Science writers and policymakers will find in this book useful information to discuss and debate about imminent environmental threats to afflict the Galápagos as a consequence of human population growth, tourism practices, and climate change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The terrestrial organisms of the Galápagos Islands live under conditions unlike those anywhere else. At the edge of a uniquely rich mid-ocean upwelling, their world is also free of mammalian predators and competitors, allowing them to live unbothered, exuberant lives. With its giant tortoises, marine iguanas, flightless cormorants, and forests of giant daisies, there's no question that this is a magnificent place. Long before people traversed the Earth, evolution endowed native species with adaptations to these special conditions and to perturbations like El Niño events and periodic droughts. As the islands have grown ever-more connected with humanity, those same adaptations now make its species vulnerable. Today, the islands are best viewed as one big social-ecological system where the ability of each native organism to survive and reproduce is a product of human activity in addition to ecological circumstances. In this book, William H. Durham takes readers on a tour of Galápagos and the organisms that inhabit these isolated volcanic islands. Exuberant Life offers a contemporary synthesis of what we know about the evolution of its curiously wonderful organisms, how they are faring in the tumultuous changing world around them, and how evolution can guide our efforts today for their conservation. The book highlights the ancestry of a dozen specific organisms in these islands, when and how they made it to the Galápagos, as well as how they have changed in the meantime. Durham traces the strengths and weaknesses of each species, arguing that the mismatch between natural challenges of their habitats and the challenges humans have recently added is the main task facing conservation efforts today. Such analysis often provides surprises and suggestions not yet considered, like the potential benefits to joint conservation efforts between tree finches and tree daisies, or ways in which the peculiar evolved behaviors of Nazca and blue-footed boobies can be used to benefit both species today. In each chapter, a social-ecological systems framework is used to highlight links between human impact, including climate change, and species status today, Historically, the Galápagos have played a central role in our understanding of evolution; what these islands now offer to teach us about conservation may well prove indispensable for the future of the planet.

Book excerpt: This book provides the first collection of chapters written by scientists who have contributed to the understanding of disease ecology in the Galapagos Islands, an iconic and historic natural site. The Galapagos Archipelago straddles the equator in the eastern Pacific Ocean, almost 1000 km off the coast of Ecuador, and includes 13 major islands, numerous smaller satellite islands, and many more even smaller islets. The wildlife on the Galapagos Islands today represents one of the best-preserved wild communities of plants and animals in the world, owing to the location of the islands at the intersection of major ocean currents, the commitment by Ecuador for the vast majority of the area to be left undeveloped, and the protection provided by the Galapagos National Park. Most of the animal species in Galapagos are endemic, occurring nowhere else. But they are descendants of ancestors that colonized earlier, and then, isolated from their mainland origins, evolved into forms that are recognized as distinct today. Since 2001, many of the authors of this book have been part of a four-institution partnership investigating the threats posed by pathogens to Galapagos avifauna. They approach the topic of disease ecology in a novel manner, starting with the history of arrival of both the birds themselves and the pathogens. This synthetic approach requires the integration of themes from veterinary medicine, epidemiology, population genetics, and phylogenetics.

Book excerpt: The Book of Finch tells the story of the writer, who, from his personal real-life perspective sees himself as a real 'Topsy Kretts' of the motion picture "The Number 23", for various reasons you might identify when reading the book. Realizing that this movie was a critical flop and he had earned absolutely no money from the sales, the Author explains the highlight of his life's story, the poorly kept secret (OK, he never kept it secret) of a most unnatural set of experiences that, though public entertainment glares the nature of the story, most people likely haven't heard about, as the ACTUAL TRUTH of the whole matter never found its way into the movie. Scan the pages of this book to find the disturbing tale of a reality you may never have suspected the actual existence of, and the Author's viewpoint of experiencing it. Includes 17 poems written by the author during the latter part of the story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book leads off with fourteen short essays on poems from James Dickey’s last book, The Eagle’s Mile, twelve short essays on James Wright’s best prose poems, a long essay on Dickey’s third novel, To the White Sea, a long essay on W. S. Merwin’s 320 page poem, The Folding Cliffs, an essay on the major Iraqi poet Dunya Mikhail, a familiar essay on the Japanese poet Ryuichi Tamura, whose work Lieberman translated for publication during his fellowship year in Japan (1971-1972), an essay on four poets for Stephen Bert’s anthology on Marianne Moore, Theodore Roethke, D. H. Lawrence, and Hart Crane; a long essay on the work of poet David Bottoms; and Lieberman’s own interview for a special feature of his work in Fifth Wednesday Journal in Chicago, Spring 2014. The essays range in location from Chicago to Atlanta, Iraq, and Japan. "In prose free of either jargon or agenda, Lieberman reads and illuminates our poetries according to one pure clear criterion: excellence. I know of no other critic who could so wonderfully combine negative capability and passion in order to create such generous insight." —Donald Revell, Poetry editor, The Colorado Review "I believe the best of Lieberman's essays equal Stevens' most shattering and inspiring prose: we understand reality as well as literature with a more humane sense of what we are, which is how revelations of empathetic intelligence, rare as they are, function for us." —Stephen Berg, founding editor of The American Poetry Review "Laurence Lieberman, himself an excellent poet, is one of the most intelligent and perceptive critics of poetry to be found today. His studies of contemporary poets are extraordinary feats of imaginative mediation. Immersing himself totally in the fullness of the work, giving himself to it with a receptiveness and sensitivity that are almost uncanny, he attains understanding in depth—and from the vantage point of an inner identification explains, clarifies, connects. He is just about the best reader a poet can hope for, and through his criticism he shares his great gift with others." —Frederick Morgan, founding editor of The Hudson Review

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last chapter of the dimension-spanning Daedalus series brings the 19th and 22nd centuries together for an explosive finale in the jungles of Venus! In the year 2135, dangerous alien life forms freed in the destruction of Saturn's moon Enceladus are making their way towards Earth. A task force spearheaded by Lt. Cmdr. Shaila Jain is scrambling to beat them there while simultaneously trying to save crewmember Stephane Durand, who was infected during the mission to Saturn and is now controlled by a form of life intent on reopening a transdimensional rift and destroying the human race. But Jain doesn’t realize that the possessed Stephane has bigger plans, beaming critical date to other conspirators suspiciously heading not for Earth, but for Venus… In 1809—a Napoleonic era far different from our own—the French have occupied England with their Corps Eternélle, undead soldiers risen through the darkest Alchemy. Only the actions of Lord Admiral Thomas Weatherby and the Royal Navy have kept the French contained to Earth. But the machinations of old enemies point to a bold and daring gambit: an ancient weapon, presumed lost in the jungles of Venus. Now, Weatherby must choose whether to stay and fight to retake his homeland or pursue the French to the green planet. And Shaila must decide if it’s possible to save the man she loves, or if he must be sacrificed for the good of two dimensions. In the dark, alien jungles of Venus, humanity's fate in both dimensions hangs in the balance—forcing past and present to once again join forces against an ancient terror.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ordinarily, textbooks are developed by first writing chapters, then making decisions about art and images, and finally, once the book is complete, assembling a test bank and ancillary media. This process dramatically limits the integration across resources, and reduces art, media, and assessments to ancillary material, rather than essential resources for student learning. Biology: How Life Works is the first project to develop three pillars—the text, the visual program, and the assessment—at the same time. All three pillars were developed in parallel to make sure that each idea is addressed in the most appropriate medium, and to ensure authentic integration. These three pillars are all tied to the same set of core concepts, share a common language, and use the same visual palette. In this way, the text, visual program, and assessments are integral parts of student learning, rather than just accessories to the text
