1921 kehrt Mr. Ambrose Dewart aus England in die düstere Landschaft um Arkham zurück, um das Erbe seines Ururahnen AIijah Billington in Besitz zu nehmen: ein verfallenes Haus und einen düsteren Wald, der seltsame Steinformationen und einen alten gemauerten Turm birgt. Die Billingtons sind ein altes Geschlecht aus dem legendenumwitterten Dunwich, manche alte Bewohner der Gegend wissen von ihnen noch schreckliche Dinge zu erzählen. Nach und nach, durch Stöbern in der berühmten Miskatonic-Bibliothek, durch Wälzen von im Giftschrank verschlossenen Bänden uralten okkulten Wissens, kommt es zu einem allmählichen Eindringen in Geheimnisse, die besser verborgen geblieben wären. Es häufen sich bedrohliche Vorzeichen, und es wird klar, daß sich auf dem Besitztum der Billingtons einer jener Knotenpunkte befindet, wo die entsetzlichen Alten Götter auf der Lauer liegen, um in unsere Welt einzudringen und sie in Besitz zu nehmen.

Cambeva's workshop is the first of four books of the collection "Presente de Vô" in partnership with Grupo Ponto de Partida. The book is a mixture of colours and elements that highlight the memory of the world, in which seekers of memories have the mission of bringing light and life to objects found in the travels of two characters: Zalém and Calunga. Cambeva is a restorer who, when the world lost its embrace, tried to reinvent it; he is the grandfather who mends dreams, forgotten things and lost emotions, to whom the seekers ask for help to fix something. In a magical universe, full of children, grandchildren, stories and memories of his lineage of restorers, when faced with this request for restoration, he makes room to bring back an emblematic figure who can no longer sing. A story about memories, care and affection...

Key Questions in Environmental Toxicology is designed as a self-study tool for undergraduate students. Questions review the origin, characterization and environmental distribution of major pollutants, followed by their absorption and metabolic disposition in living organisms. They address implications for the development of cancer, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary dysfunction and neurological conditions in relation to gaseous pollutants, particulates, persistent organic compounds and radioactive emissions, then cover the impact of pollutants on biodiversity, food safety, and water contamination. 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.
