Book excerpt: Raymond Chandler meets David Sedaris—the first in a dynamite new cozy series that's "a lot of fun, full of unexpected depths and twists." —Josh Bazell, bestselling author of Beat the Reaper Amy Carter is missing. And there's no one less capable of finding her than Max Bravo. Max Bravo is a mid-rung opera singer with a diva's towering ego. And he doesn't do favors. Not until the day he visits a troubled friend in Berkeley and offers to walk her dog. Max quickly discovers the local dog park. It's an odd, private little world—a preserve for neighborhood crackpots and lay-abouts, and, incidentally, their dogs. But, the park regulars are friendly. Clubby. They even serve beer. Before long, Max can't stay away. When one of the regulars disappears, Max's interest in the dog park turns to obsession. Amy Carter – beautiful, adored, pregnant – has vanished. The circumstances bode the worst. What happened to Amy? The dog park club has brewed up a theory. And they mean to prove it.

Download or read book Inside the Barbary Coast written by David Jensen and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2001-12-12 with total page 547 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Pitman, Jr. didnt want to become a doctor. His father had been one and had faileda die-hard who had clung to cupping and purging as a means of ridding the bodys impurities. But as a stevedore on the docks of San Francisco no one could mend broken bones like John Pitmans lanky son Jack. Finally the young lad decides: If he is to become a doctor, he will be the best. INSIDE THE BARBARY COAST is where Jack Pitman chooses to open his medical practice. It is an area of San Francisco filled with saloons, parlor houses and opium dens, bordering on Chinatown. Fresh out of medical school, Jack saves the life of a young Chinese prince who is an actor in Dr. Pierre Louthans medical show. Louthan did not go to medical school but easily passes off as a learned physician with his European manner, silver-tongued ability to converse on any subject relating to anatomy, and his courses of treatment that involve a growing array of patent medicines. Jack falls in love with Louthans assistant, Marie, not realizing she is married to the quack doctor. Although Jacks nurse, the wise Madam Wong, cautions the young doctor, he is smitten nonetheless and fathers a child Louthan believes is his. Jack fights to discredit the huckster, hoping Marie will see Louthan as a charlatan and leave him. She, however, has plans of her own and manages to snare Jack in her own secret web. As Jack becomes consumed in his new practice, he tries valiantly to save the life of Hawaiis King David Kalakaua who is dying at the Palace Hotel. His friend, Gentleman Jim Corbett, the famous boxer, plays a role, as does Adolph Sutro, San Franciscos flamboyant mayor who built the famous Sutro Baths near the Cliff House facing the sea. Jack embraces electro-therapeutics because he believes it is the frontier of the New Medicine. When a prominent socialite is accidentally electrocuted in his office, he dismisses electrotherapy altogether and labels X-rays as another quack fad. But he is wrong and discovers his miscalculation just as tong wars break out in Chinatown and as President McKinley sends 10,000 young troops past the Golden Gate on their way across the Pacific to the Philippines. The young doctor from the Barbary Coast hones his surgical skills while serving as a medic in the Spanish-American War. When he returns, Marie still loves him but cannot find justification to divorce her husband. The bubonic plague hits San Francisco, giving the unions ammunition in their fight to exclude more Chinese from immigrating to the United States. Meanwhile, the always-scheming Dr. Louthan concocts a new patent medicine that increases sexual vigor. It is based on the findings of a European endocrinologist. Louthan experiments on himself, resulting in a fight with Marie that leaves their relationship damaged. But Pierre will not grant his wife a divorce, spurring Jack to join other physicians in San Francisco and around the country to discredit Louthan and other quack doctors like him. The plan works, and Louthan finds the underpinning to his nostrum business slipping away. Jack and Marie have just attended Enrico Carusos performance of Don Jos and taken a room at the Palace Hotel when a devastating earthquake rocks San Francisco. It is April 18, 1906. Shaken out of bed, Jack puts Marie in a taxi to go home and heads to the Pacific Anatomical Museum where he finds Louthan has been trapped by a fallen beam. As a fire erupts and flames begin licking their way closer, Nate Nordstrand, an old friend of Jacks who now works for Louthan, swings a fire ax to amputate the quack doctors leg to free him from the beam and encroaching inferno. But Nate is not finished and swings again, this time squarely across Louthans neck. An eye for an eye, he shouts, Jack knowing the full meaning of his cry. Jack returns home and finds th

Book Synopsis The Barbary Macaque by : Julia E. Fa
Download or read book The Barbary Macaque written by Julia E. Fa and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Barbary macaque (all too often mistakenly called an ape) was first brought to the attention of the Conservation Working Party of the Primate Society of Great Britain late 1979 when John Fa reported that 'surplus' animals were being sent from Gibraltar to dubious locations, such as an Italian safari park. Since there had been no scientific input into the Army's management of the monkey colony on Gibraltar, and there was concern about inbreeding, nutrition and health - about the long-term viability of the colony, it was felt that the Society could help. The Gibraltar Scientific Authority and the Army were very receptive to our offer and ideas, and this topic occupied successive chairmen over the last few years - Robin Dunbar and Richard Wrangham, myself and now Miranda Stevenson - with constant prompting and help from John Fa. Considerations soon extended to the status of the species as a whole, so that there have been three main aspects:- (1) the improved health of a larger self-sustaining population on Gibraltar, (2) the status and behavioural biology of natural populations in North Africa (Morocco and Algeria), and (3) the breeding achievements in European parks and zoos, and their potential for reintroduction to suitable areas in North Africa, along with other possibilities. Robin Dunbar organized the compilation of recommendations for managing the Gibraltar colony with regard to numbers, age-sex struc ture and behavioural relationships, with some observations on diet to avoid obesity and infertility.
