AdventureApril 2024I love you…
by Julien Tănase
The book "I Love You..." is part of the trilogy..., "I love you, till death..." and "I love you, as long as my heart beats”, autobiographical love novels which include chapters from life in a couple of the writer Julien Tănase and his wife, Magdi, with whom he has been in a relationship for 30 years, all against the background of the events that Romania has gone through in recent decades, after the Revolution of '89. A trilogy about the endurance over time of a young couple in love, who have gone through events that are out of touch with reality in Romania where sleeping with a gun under the pillow, the fear of having their child kidnapped, and even the "wars" waged against the corruption of magistrates, politicians and the information systems of a civil society gripped by the widespread corruption in Romania, including the lawsuit invented by the DNA (National Anticorruption Directorate) to stop his work as a journalist and finally won by the writer, makes the autobiography of writer Julien Tănase a fascinating one that leaves you with a bitter taste in your mouth and a big question mark; ... "such things have happened and continue to happen in Romania"?... The writer Julien Tănase: "A friend in the Italian Police told me, and I quote him: "... if you had done in Italy what you did for your country, today a street would bear your name! But you had been dead!"

Science & MathematicsApril 2022Nematodes as Model Organisms
by Itamar Glazer, David I Shapiro-llan, Paul W. Sternberg
Nematodes, which are small multi cellular organisms have been used as biological models since the 1960's. The nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans is a free-living nematode, about 1mm in length, that lives in temperate soil environments. It is made up of about 1000 cells, and has a short life cycle of only 2 weeks. It was the first multicellular organism to have its whole genome sequenced. The book includes chapters that summarize the importance of nematodes as model organisms in the fields of genetics, developmental biology, neurobiology, pharmacology, nutrition, ecology and parasitology. Of interest to a broad audience across a wide spectrum of disciplines, the book is useful for biologists working on comparative studies to investigate biological processes across organisms; medical scientists and pharmacologist for exploration of drugs and medicine (including the use of genome editing to eliminate diseases); ecologists considering nematodes as indicators for environment changes; and parasitologists for host-parasite interactions. Many other researchers can use this book as a benchmark for the broad implications of nematology research on other aspects of science.

Devouring Himself, Starting with His Feet
by Abdallah Al-Zioud
Despite its small size, it managed to take its place among the best modern literature books in recent years. From the title and cover, going through its amazing preface and eloquent language, and to the element of surprise and unexpected ending. Abdallah Al-Zioud was able to make the reading journey of this novel a meaningful journey despite its shortness; a journey introduces readers to new terms that manipulate their imaginations and puts them in the eye of the event through a visual language that conveys the reader from paper to the visual world of the novel. It teaches them some of writing tricks and simplifies what seems complicated at the beginning so that the reader believes in its ordinary before discovering that he has fallen victim to fraud.I can say that the most beautiful thing about this novel is that it was not written in a style and did not follow a context. it rebelled against the ordinary, uniquified in style, and combined simplicity and complexity in a way predicting an amazing ability and counted in its writer favor.

Geography & the EnvironmentAugust 2022Key Questions in Environmental Toxicology
A Study and Revision Guide
by J P F D'Mello
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.

Geography & the EnvironmentOctober 2019The Himalayan Soap Pod Tree (Gymnocladus assamicus)
An Ecologically and Economically Important Tree on the Brink of Extinction
by Baharul I Choudhury, Mohammed Latif Khan
Extinction of species has alarmingly increased in recent decades due to anthropogenic activities, natural calamities and climate change. The life history, ecology and evolution of such species have often not been well studied. Gymnocladus assamicus is an archaic tree endemic to the Eastern Himalayan region of Northeast India. Locally known as 'Menangmanba-shi' by the Monpa tribe of Arunachal Pradesh (India), mature G. assamicus pods contain high saponin and are used traditionally for cleansing purposes and rituals. We rediscovered the species after more than 70 years from high altitude areas in the Himalayas through extensive field explorations and employing an ecological niche modeling approach. Our study revealed a very few actively reproducing mature G. assamicus trees surviving in unique microclimatic conditions. The species is classified as 'critically endangered' (IUCN red list). The book contains detailed information about G. assamicus and discusses its current distribution, population status, ethnobotanical uses and other ecological parameters. Major intrinsic and extrinsic factors that might be responsible for population decline are described. More importantly, we reported a very rare mating system known as 'androdioecy' in which male and hermaphrodite individuals co-exist in the natural population. Overall, the book highlights the story of a critically endangered tree species with a unique biological and socio-cultural importance and will serve as a case study and referencefor other similar species both locally and globally.

LA DESCONOCIDA CAPOEIRA:
by Mestre Ricardo (Cachorro)
LA DESCONOCIDA CAPOEIRA: Secretos ocultos de la capoeira brasileña original por Mestre Ricardo (Cachorro) Capoeira es un arte marcial desarrollado por esclavos africanos en Brasil a partir del siglo XVI, como resultado de la fusión de diversos grupos étnicos que originalmente trajeron consigo a Sudamérica su identidad cultural, así como su simiente de libertad. A pesar de la sólida evidencia de la influencia de una gran variedad de otras formas de artes marciales africanos, la capoeira es esencialmente una expresión brasileña, con muchos aficionados y profesionales que la practican en todos los continentes. Aunque la capoeira valora muchos de sus aspectos culturales e históricos, que nadie se lleve a engaño, ?pues se trata de un sistema de lucha eficaz y mortífero! Como resultado de su desarrollo a través de los años, la capoeira se ha convertido en el arte marcial más rico, espectacular y hermoso del mundo. No obstante, la mayoría de los capoeiristas no saben que, en las manos de un profesional serio y disciplinado, este fascinante arte marcial puede convertirse en un arma graciosamente atlética y también mortal. En este libro aprenderá los secretos de la capoeira, tal y como se ejecuta en la roda o en un combate real. Maniobras, combate cuerpo a cuerpo y técnicas aéreas se describen en detalle a un nivel de perfección, mediante cientos de ilustraciones. En los diagramas se explican maniobras especiales, jamás antes publicadas en el mundo de las artes marciales. Además, los lectores tienen libre acceso a apasionantes archivos animados en formato GIF, para presenciar las numerosas maniobras que se presentan en el libro. Mestre Ricardo, alias Cachorro, graduado del Grupo Bantus de Capoeira del Mestre Adilson en Morro do Pavão y Pavãozinho —barrios pobres y marginados en medio de los ricos suburbios de Río de Janeiro— fue el primer Mestre del Grupo Capoeira de la Asociación Cristiana de Jóvenes en la isla del Gobernador, habiendo recibido dicho honor en 1975. Al año siguiente se convirtió en Mestre certificado de la FCP, la primera Federación de Capoeira de Río de Janeiro y en el mismo año presentó a la capoeira en un programa de televisión en vivo filmado en Carolina del Norte, patrocinado por la Asociación Cristiana de Jóvenes (YMCA) local. En la década de 1970, Mestre Ricardo fue integrante del equipo de gimnasia olímpica del Club de Fútbol Fluminense de Río de Janeiro, donde se especializó en ejercicios de suelo. Durante su carrera como profesional de capoeira, Ricardo aprendió y practicó boxeo, karate Shotokan y judo, como medio para comprender mejor los mecanismos de movimiento del cuerpo involucrados en diversas artes marciales. Se prevé la publicación de una versión en inglés americano, en el otoño de 2009. Otra nueva obra de la serie de Capoeira: La increíble historia de la Capoeira

FictionLa hermandad de la Casa Grande (The brotherhood of the Big House)
Una novela negra sobre el juicio del Estado a los brujos de Chiloé (A detective novel about the state's trial of the witches of Chiloé)
by Eduardo Pérez Arroyo
It's 1879. To the north, Chile defends foreign investment in the Pacific War. To the south, beyond the already invaded Araucania, from a large, almost unexplored island, rumors of violence, superstition and a state incapable of enforcing its law spread. The elite would be at ease if some “elements” that are not occupied at the border with Peru penetrated Chiloé. They need evidence to condemn those criminals who terrorize the population with old indigenous beliefs. They call themselves witches. They are organized as La Recta Provincia or La Hermandad de la Casa Grande. They lie to scare and change the names of the cities on the island –Achao, Dalcahue or Quicaví–, confusing them with others: Buenos Aires, Villarrica, Salamanca. If they were only myths, it would be enough for the government to forget that secret place. But the one who calls himself the Greatest Liar in the World claims to have escaped the sorcerers and travels the north glimpsing the aliens: he talks to them of malice, monsters and murders; of the bloody clans' struggles to become a decaying reign. For these lies, or to secure an unstable national pride, coronels and tenants decide to put an end to things that a mortal has no power to finish.
