Book Synopsis Rants from the Hill by : Michael P. Branch
Download or read book Rants from the Hill written by Michael P. Branch and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2017-06-06 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If Thoreau drank more whiskey and lived in the desert, he’d write like this.”—High Country News Welcome to the land of wildfire, hypothermia, desiccation, and rattlers. The stark and inhospitable high-elevation landscape of Nevada’s Great Basin Desert may not be an obvious (or easy) place to settle down, but for self-professed desert rat Michael Branch, it’s home. Of course, living in such an unforgiving landscape gives one many things to rant about. Fortunately for us, Branch—humorist, environmentalist, and author of Raising Wild—is a prodigious ranter. From bees hiving in the walls of his house to owls trying to eat his daughters’ cat—not to mention his eccentric neighbors—adventure, humor, and irreverence abound on Branch’s small slice of the world, which he lovingly calls Ranting Hill.
Book Synopsis Scorpion Venoms by : P. Gopalakrishnakone
Download or read book Scorpion Venoms written by P. Gopalakrishnakone and published by Springer. This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the field of Toxinology has expanded substantially. On the one hand it studies venomous animals, plants and micro organisms in detail to understand their mode of action on targets. While on the other, it explores the biochemical composition, genomics and proteomics of toxins and venoms to understand their three interaction with life forms (especially humans), development of antidotes and exploring their pharmacological potential. Therefore, Toxinology has deep linkages with biochemistry, molecular biology, anatomy and pharmacology. In addition, there is a fast developing applied subfield, clinical toxinology, which deals with understanding and managing medical effects of toxins on human body. Given the huge impact of toxin-based deaths globally, and the potential of venom in generation of drugs for so-far incurable diseases (for example, Diabetes, Chronic Pain), the continued research and growth of the field is imminent. This has led to the growth of research in the area and the consequent scholarly output by way of publications in journals and books. Despite this ever growing body of literature within biomedical sciences, there is still no all-inclusive reference work available that collects all of the important biochemical, biomedical and clinical insights relating to Toxinology. The Handbook of Toxinology aims to address this gap and cover the field of Toxinology comprehensively.

Download or read book The Scorpion written by Albert Memmi and published by Penguin Adult HC/TR. This book was released on 1971 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A composite philosophical work with a modern pretext and a very traditional questing spirit. It concerns two North African brothers during the period of decolonization -- Marcel, a successful, pragmatic doctor, and Emile, a writer obsessed with the riddle of himself and his existence. Emile has disappeared and Marcel, charged with organizing a drawerful of writings, is forced into reluctant intimacy with his brother's mind. The chronicles, stories and confessions, seemingly random at first, slowly disclose an order as levels of a single truth which Emile has attempted to reach; and, curiously, as Marcel's resistance is overcome he begins to recognize the same impulse in himself, past and present. Their existential problem is symbolized by the scorpion in a game of torture: when it can't escape a ring of fire it stings itself -- deliberately or accidentally in frenzy? Fatally or to be briefly stunned? And of the game itself and its spectators, what are their motives and what is revealed? Obviously it takes some nerve to venture into such areas as fully as Memmi does -- risking bombast, dullness, and, not least, a frightening degree of self-exposure -- and that risk is not only the acknowledged heart of his meaning but a measure of his success. As impressive as the honest intelligence is the fact that such a range and depth of awareness have been martialled into unified and compelling fiction."--Kirkus

Download or read book The Scorpion's Sting written by J. D. Masterson and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With all my degrees and knowledge, how could I have lived with my head in the sand for so long? I'm thinking of nicknaming myself 'Ostrich'... head in the sand, backside flopping around in the air, going around in circles, tripping over my own long legs and awkward feet, never getting anywhere at all. it certainly seems an appropriate label, especially given the latest mess I'm now working my way through.Dr. Magdalena LaSige, a thirty-three-year-old criminal archepsychologist, throws herself headfirst into finding a kidnapped Carmelite nun—the sister of her former professor, The handsome and wealthy Dr. Peter Janus. She is given ancient pictures and symbols sent from the kidnappers, clues in an archetypal trail of deceit. The Pyramids of Giza, DNA codes, constellations, medicine, money—these symbols, stories, and legends all combine to challenge everything Magdalena has taken for granted as truth. And the truth seems to be the last thing Dr. Janus wants to discuss. What is his connection with the pharmaceutical companies he consults for, and how does that play into the kidnapping? is the 'scorpion's sting' a medical project or something much more sinister? Painfully aware of her limitations, Magdalena uncovers religious, medical, and governmental lies while racing against time. Will she solve the mystery, or will the truth behind the deceptions leave Magdalena paralyzed by the scorpion's sting?
