Book Synopsis The Garden of the Whale-Fishes by : F. X. Mathews
Download or read book The Garden of the Whale-Fishes written by F. X. Mathews and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2008-07 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1348 a Franciscan friar from Kilkenny, a chronicler obsessed with the meaning of time, witnesses the coming of the Black Death to Ireland. This novel is his story-a man of faith, in a darkened universe, challenged to believe in the flesh. F. X. Mathews conjures up historical events-the freezing of the River Liffey, the Kyteler witchcraft trial, the beaching of the great whales, the plague-in haunting images that reverberate with the intensity of myth. His friar, the native Irish girl from the mountains, Medbh, and Colm, the dream-bewildered, island-dwelling tinker boy, figure in an uncommon love story played out, in a time of miracles and madness, against the end of time. F. X. MATHEWS is a professor emeritus of English at the University of Rhode Island and the author of two other novels, The Concrete Judasbird and The Frog in the Bottom of the Well. Of The Frog the critics wrote: "F. X. Mathews, whose talent sings like an angelic choir . . . draws character and scene with a dark, impressionistic incisiveness . . ." -The Boston Globe "A strong and compassionate definition of personalities within the press of circumstances illuminates this obsessive mythic tale . . . brilliantly conceived . . ." -Kirkus Reviews ." . . a grim but moving study of both the innocence and the mindless cruelties of childhood . . ." -Publishers'Weekly "Mathews can work up some stunning scenes . . ." -Newsweek ." . . a religious psychodrama that fulfills its ominous portents . . .chill tour de force . . ." -N.

Book Synopsis At the Water's Edge by : Carl Zimmer
Download or read book At the Water's Edge written by Carl Zimmer and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1999-09-08 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everybody Out of the Pond At the Water's Edge will change the way you think about your place in the world. The awesome journey of life's transformation from the first microbes 4 billion years ago to Homo sapiens today is an epic that we are only now beginning to grasp. Magnificent and bizarre, it is the story of how we got here, what we left behind, and what we brought with us. We all know about evolution, but it still seems absurd that our ancestors were fish. Darwin's idea of natural selection was the key to solving generation-to-generation evolution -- microevolution -- but it could only point us toward a complete explanation, still to come, of the engines of macroevolution, the transformation of body shapes across millions of years. Now, drawing on the latest fossil discoveries and breakthrough scientific analysis, Carl Zimmer reveals how macroevolution works. Escorting us along the trail of discovery up to the current dramatic research in paleontology, ecology, genetics, and embryology, Zimmer shows how scientists today are unveiling the secrets of life that biologists struggled with two centuries ago. In this book, you will find a dazzling, brash literary talent and a rigorous scientific sensibility gracefully brought together. Carl Zimmer provides a comprehensive, lucid, and authoritative answer to the mystery of how nature actually made itself.

Book excerpt: A moving, poetic story about a whale in captivity who longs for the ocean . . . because whales don't belong in fishbowls, do they? Wednesday is a whale who lives in a fishbowl smack dab in the middle of a city--it's the only home she's ever known. Cars whizz around her and people hurry past; even the sun and moon circle above. But if she leaps high enough out of her bowl, Wednesday can see it: a calm bit of blue off in the distance. When a girl in a paisley dress tells Wednesday "You belong in the sea," the whale starts to wonder, what is the sea? Readers will cheer--and get all choked up-- when, one day, Wednesday leaps higher than ever before and sets in motion a breathtaking chain of events that will carry her to her rightful home. Touching, and ultimately uplifting, here is a story about a lonely creature longing to be free--and longing to find someone just like her. A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of 2018!

This volume also discusses the global aspects of fish utilization, illustrating the key role of fisheries in many countries and major regions. Comprised of three parts encompassing 19 chapters, the book initially discusses the protein, amino acid, vitamins, and mineral content of fish and fish oil. This volume also explains the effects of fish processing and handling on these nutritional components. The subsequent chapters present studies on the role of fish in human nutrition, focusing on the Japanese diet. The book also covers the utilization of converted fish-processing wastes to fish meal and condensed fish soluble in feeding poultry, livestock, and mink. The second part of the book focuses on food poisoning caused by fish and fishery products. This part deals with the bacterial activity in fish and related products due to water pollution and contamination. Other chapters examine Salmonella problems in the sea and the allergies and other disorders related to fish poisoning. The effect of radioactivity on marine organisms and the uptake and bioaccumulation of radionuclides in marine organisms are also discussed. Lastly, this volume presents the trends and patterns in fish and shellfish utilization. This volume will be of considerable value primarily to fish and food scientists in general and also to public health workers, marine and fresh-water biologists, nutritionists, and sanitary engineers.
