        by Scott McCracken

        Pulp brings together in one volume chapters on the best seller, detective fiction, popular romance, science fiction and horror.

        by J P F D'Mello

        Key Questions in Environmental Toxicology is designed as a self-study tool for undergraduate students.

This book: - Covers toxicology from human morbidity, ecological impact and biodiversity perspectives, and emphasises the impact of diverse organic pollutants in worsening these interconnected phenomena, leading to wider environmental emergencies; - Provides a selection of fill-in-the-gap, multiple choice and short answer question types for students to vary their learning and enhance motivation; - Includes full answer rationales, allowing students to gain true insight into the subject. Providing support to programmes across environmental science, ecology and human health, and covering all the major biological toxins and pollutants as well as unintended consequences of actions designed to improve outcomes, this book may be used in conjunction with the companion volume Introduction to Environmental Toxicology.

        Evaluating Indirect Ecological Effects of Biological Control

        by Edited by Eric Wajnberg, John K Scott, Paul C Quimby

        A major concern for biological control has always been the risk of indirect unwanted effects on the ecology of other organisms. Our understanding of the ecological and evolutionary processes underlying these effects has until now been limited and experimental methods sometimes lacking. This book presents the key papers from of the first International Organisation for Biological Control global symposium, held in Montpellier, France, in October 1999. It addresses the issues and concerns involved in biological control, and assesses the current status of evaluation of the ecological effects.

        Roman | Kommunikation, Krieg, Kokain, Krypta | Ein Buch wie ein schillernder Traum

        by Tom McCarthy, Bernhard Robben

        Serge Karrefax erblickt im ländlichen England kurz vor der Jahrhundertwende das Licht der Welt – und mit seinem Schicksal verwoben gleichsam das Zeitalter der Technologie und Kommunikation. Als Funker im Ersten Weltkrieg fliegt er über Frankreich, hofft im Londoner Untergrund der Swinging Twenties mithilfe technologischen Fortschritts die Toten anzufunken, und hilft schließlich im gerade unabhängig gewordenen Ägypten ein Funknetz zu errichten – bis sein Leben in einer altägyptischen Grabkammer eine unerwartete Wendung nimmt. Kommunikation, Krieg, Kokain, Krypta: K untersucht gnadenlos, unser Verlangen uns mitzuteilen, während Serge K. die Botschaft hinter allen Botschaften, das Signal hinter allen Signalen sucht. Dieses singulär originelle Buch selbst aber widersteht allen Versuchen, seinen Code zu knacken.
