        The Nature of Crops

        How we came to eat the plants we do

        by John Warren

        Have you ever wondered why we eat wheat, rice, potatoes and cassava? Why we routinely domesticate foodstuffs with the power to kill us, or why we chose almonds over acorns? Answering all these questions and more in a readable and friendly style, this book takes you on a journey through our history with crop plants. Arranged into recurrent themes in plant domestication, this book documents the history and biology of over 50 crops, including cereals, spices, legumes, fruits and cash crops such as chocolate, tobacco and rubber. In The Nature of Crops John Warren reveals: -Why the Egyptians worshipped onions; -Why red-flowering runner beans provide fewer beans than white-flowering; -The inherent dangers of being a pineapple worker; and -Why a bird will always beat you in a chilli pepper eating competition! ; Our ancestors chose to cultivate some plant species and not others. Through years of association with humans, these wild plants have been changed so that the crops we eat often hardly resemble their wild progenitors. Arranged into broad themes depicting the history of domestication, this book documents the history and biology of over 40 crops. ; 1: Introduction: The Nature of Natural - What does domestication involve?2: Wild Things - Recently domesticated crops and crops that have returned to the wild3: Learning to Live with Exotic Sexual Practices - How plant breeding systems limit domestication4: Storing up Trouble - Plants with storage organs5: The Weird and Wonderful - Herbs, spices and crops with exotic phytochemicals6: Accidents of History - The role of chance events in domestication7: Classic Combinations and Reoccurring Themes - Plant families that have been repeatedly domesticated8: Ownership and Theft - How the economic value of crops has influenced their domestication9: Fifty Shades of Green - Nutrient rich crops and the next generation

        Lyme Disease

        An Evidence-based Approach

        by John J Halperin

        This new edition of Lyme Disease provides up-to-date evidence-based research and covers the significant advances in our understanding of the disorders referred to as Lyme disease or Lyme borreliosis. This book explores the causative organism, its requisite ecosystem, disease epidemiology, host-Borrelia interactions, diagnostic testing, clinical manifestations, therapeutic options, the role of host immunity on pathogenesis and long term prognosis. The authors provide balanced perspectives on all aspects of Lyme disease and explicitly review both the basic biology of the infection and practical clinical aspects. This new edition: Includes new borrelial pathogens that have been identified (B. miyamotoi, B. mayonii and B. bavariensis among others). Provides updated information on the molecular biology of the organism, neuroborreliosis, and the role of the C6 peptide in diagnosis. Discusses the controversies about 'chronic Lyme disease', post Lyme disease syndrome and other ongoing but non-specific symptoms that have been attributed to this infection. As the endemic footprint of Lyme disease continues to grow, this book provides a broad and detailed guide for clinicians and researchers involved with the diagnosis and treatment of the condition. Covering biology, epidemiology and therapeutics, it is also essential reading for students of global health and infectious disease.

        The Peopling of New Connecticut

        From the Land of Steady Habits to the Western Reserve

        by Buel, Richard Jr.

        In 1784 Connecticut laid claim to a territory stretching from Pennsylvania's western border 120 miles along Lake Erie. In 1786 Congress took steps to legitimate this claim, and explicitly recognized it in 1800. The Peopling of New Connecticut presents primary documents that define Connecticut's complex relationship with this territory, known then as the Western Reserve. Using excerpts from previously published official records, diaries, newspapers, periodical journals, pamphlets, and the occasional book that illustrates the process whereby Connecticut transplanted some of its people to a distant, western land, this Acorn Club publication illuminates not only the experience of the emigrants as they journeyed to Ohio and settled in the Western Reserve but also the effect that the emigrants' departure had on the society they left behind. The volume comes with an introduction and commentary about the significance of these republished materials. The Peopling of New Connecticut is a vital, enlightening record of this special chapter in Connecticut's history and provides unique insight into the early westward movement after the Revolutionary War.

        The Merchant of Bullshit

        by J.D.B.

        A rotting gene has infiltrated mankind’s cognitive process at an advanced level and turned it into gibberish.  Moreover, the Dronzyme, an integral part of the Detox Unorthodox advocated by major forces in the Consultancy Sector, actively stimulates the production of this gene via a benign mucous in the larynx. Soon, under the auspices of the Catallus Group, a new language and functionality possesses the mindset, and no one is considered immune. The Capital itself becomes a repository for degenerate ideas and concepts, whose terror becomes flesh with the birth of a quasi-physical oaf. Herein is the awful truth of the Schnimp, and the Corporate Giants now forced to obey its commands... in a unprecedented wave of NONSENSE. The explanation: The Merchant of Bullshit is a satire on the City of London, and its all-pervading, meaningless jargon, part of the global war against intelligence, as documented by someone who worked nights for over 15 years immersed in it. The author: (location unknown) lives in a shed in Myrddin’s Precinct where he communes with drunken spirits and entities, and launches vitriolic assaults against the Satanic Inertias of the Capital, soon to be revisited in The Gnat.  A series of endless night-shifts in the Ancient City of London drives him to the terrifying conclusion that its entire existence is a Hoax – a bankrupt Government, media and economy imprisoned in a Tower of Babble.  But can a man certified as insane – twice – complete his mission to rescue the intellectual heritage of his Nation?  Who knows.  For now, he sleeps amid the empty quarts and flasks, waiting to spring forth from his chrysalis...

        Constructive Arguing

        by Authors: Julia Pöyhönen & Heidi Livingston Illustrator: Linnea Bellamine Publisher: Kumma-kustannus

        Lately, the black swan siblings Lilli and Lenni have started bickering about almost everything. When Lilli, in her anger, messes up Lenni’s counting of acorns, pecking and hurtful words are not spared. Instantly, a fight breaks out! Will the siblings find a way to mitigate anger and resolve the quarrel? It is difficult to be constructive when we are angry because anger incites us to attack -whether it is with malicious words or physical aggression. It is difficult to be emphatic andsee things from the other person’s perspective before regulating yourself. Through this story and the exercises, children understand that everyone sometimes needs space in order to be able to control your words and actions. Children learn important skills for constructive arguing: expressing your feelings and needs, emotion regulation, and apologizing. The Fanni series includes six books and a deck of Feeling’s Cards. Each book includes an illustrated story, practical theoretical information for parents, teachers, and caregivers, and exercises for children and adults. Each Fanni book is written so that just by listening to the story, children learn one specific emotional processing skill that they can start using right away. The series is targeted for 4-7-year olds.

        Hoppy the Lark. Impossible is just another word

        by Alex Donovici

        "Tup!" - a cute exclamation that defines a jump or a fast unexpected movement. But this name goes beyon the positive personality of one of the most recognizible children's books characters in Romania. Reading the first volume you will find that the courage has nothing to do with the size of your body, but rather how big your soul is. That is exactly what all the animals of the forest realised when, to their surprise, their forest was saved by a tiny lark with no wings and tiny legs. The entire collection is beautifully illustrated by Stela Damaschin-Popa, who has received the IBBY Honorary Award and was also nominated for two consecutive years for the Astrid Lindgred Memorial Award.

        Basic emotions - Anger

        by Tatjana Gjurković, Tea Knežević, Jelena Brezovec

        Every emotion, so anger as well, carries within itself an emotional need that the child, along with every adult person, wants satisfied. It is very strong and focused on other people. Anger is a temporary emotional state that is mostly triggered by some sort of frustration, hence the emotional need behind anger is actually a child’s desire to be taken seriously, to be listened to, and for the things that have bothered and hurt them to be acknowledged, as they are difficult for them to deal with. Picture books are focused on the following topics: - Angry squirrel doesn’t listen / Anger that is expressed through not listening to the determined boundaries - Angry bunny hurts himself / Anger that is expressed through self-harm - Angry kitty has a tummy ache / Anger that is repressed and expressed through psychosomatic problems - Angry hippo bites / Anger that is expressed through aggression towards others
