Book Synopsis Three Years with the Rat by : Jay Hosking
Download or read book Three Years with the Rat written by Jay Hosking and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2017-01-24 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Three Years with the Rat is a mind-warping thriller that will make you question reality as you conceive of it. One of the most assured and haunting debuts I’ve read in recent memory.” —Blake Crouch, author of Dark Matter After several years of drifting between school and go-nowhere jobs, a young man is drawn back into the big city of his youth. The magnet is his beloved older sister, Grace: always smart and charismatic even when she was rebelling, and always his hero. Now she is a promising graduate student in psychophysics and the center of a group of friends who take “Little Brother” into their fold, where he finds camaraderie, romance, and even a decent job. But it soon becomes clear that things are not well with Grace. Always acerbic, she now veers into sudden rages that are increasingly directed at her adoring boyfriend, John, who is also her fellow researcher. When Grace disappears, and John shortly thereafter, the narrator makes an astonishing discovery in their apartment: a box big enough to crawl inside, a lab rat, and a note that says This is the only way back for us. Soon he embarks on a mission to discover the truth, a pursuit that forces him to question time and space itself, and ultimately toward a perilous confrontation at the very limits of imagination. This kinetic novel catapults the classic noir plot of a woman gone missing into the twenty-first-century city, where so-called reality crashes into speculative science. Jay Hosking's Three Years with the Rat is simultaneously a mind-twisting mystery that plays with the very nature of time and the story of a young man who must face the dangerously destructive forces we all carry within ourselves.

Book excerpt: From the New Yorker “20 Under 40” author of Atmospheric Disturbances comes a brain-twisting adventure story of a girl named Fred on a quest through a world of fantastical creatures, strange logic, and a powerful prejudice against growing up. Fred and her math-teacher mom are always on the move, and Fred is getting sick of it. She’s about to have yet another birthday in a new place without friends. On the eve of turning thirteen, Fred sees something strange in the living room: her mother, dressed for a party, standing in front of an enormous paper lantern—which she steps into and disappears. Fred follows her and finds herself in the Land of Impossibility—a loopily illogical place where time is outlawed, words carry dire consequences, and her unlikely allies are a depressed white elephant and a pugnacious mongoose mother of seventeen. With her new friends, Fred sets off in search of her mom, braving dungeons, Insult Fish, Fearsome Ferlings, and a mad Rat Queen. To succeed, the trio must find the solution to an ageless riddle. Gorgeously illustrated and reminiscent of The Phantom Tollbooth and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Rivka Galchen’s Rat Rule 79 is an instant classic for curious readers of all ages.

Book Synopsis The Chinese Year of the Flying Rat by : Peter a J Holst MD Phd
Download or read book The Chinese Year of the Flying Rat written by Peter a J Holst MD Phd and published by . This book was released on 2020-02 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Aug 2018 there have been outbreaks of African swine fever in several provinces of China. At the end of 2018, the total amount of culled animals was 650,000. China's pigs herd, by far the world's largest, was estimated then at 360 million animals. The pigs should be half by the end of 2019 from a year earlier as an epidemic of African swine fever (ASF) sweeps through the world's top pork producer. Up to 200 million pigs have been culled or died due to the disease, while pork output felt by 30%. Production may take more than 5 years to recover to previous levels before the deadly outbreaks as challenges including a lack of solutions to prevent the disease and a lack of capital will restrict restocking.At the end of 2019, there was a first outbreak of corona virus in Wuhan, which has since been established to be the source of this virus. After the 2013 SARS epidemic, which spread from Hong Kong, Chinese virologists warned earlier that batborne CoVs will re-emerge to cause the next disease outbreak. China is a likely hot spot. Bats account for a quarter of mammalian species, rodents are 50 percent, and there's the rest of the mammals with us. Bats live on every continent, in proximity to humans and farms. The ability to fly of these flying rats makes them wide-ranging, which helps in spreading viruses, and their excreta can spread disease. Bats are host to a higher proportion of zoonoses than all other mammals.Bats and rodents have been spreading diseases in particular when the most intelligent mammals, which we are as humans, fertilized animals artificially and fattened them up to eat them en masse to combat world hunger. It is high time for humans to adopt different eating habits and no longer trade with wildlife.
