It uses your DNA against you. It knows no mercy, and feels no pain. As the old world burns, only one truth remains. IT. FOUND. US. It’s the middle of the night. The city’s in total blackout. As the last cell tower fails, Lucy gets a desperate warning. “Worse is coming.” In less than twenty four hours, mass looting will begin. Panic will quickly follow. Then violence. Technology has failed across the globe, and a disastrous chain reaction has begun. But as the people of San Francisco sleep, they have no idea what’s about to happen. Lucy must seize her chance to get ahead. As the last bytes of data vanish into the ether, the old world will be lost. In its wake, billions of citizens will be stranded in defunct cities, unable to communicate, or coordinate. For the first time in millennia, our species will be truly vulnerable. That’s when the pandemic hits. They called it D4. It’s not an enemy you can fight. It’s a process. We’ve never seen anything like it. And it’s just the beginning… A gripping dystopian page-turner, with a whole new take on the pandemic genre. Welcome to the world of Convulsive. Crisis is book one in the award-winning Convulsive series from debut author Marcus Martin. It is the culmination of years of research, featuring insights from experts in genetic engineering, evolutionary biology, and disease outbreak control. The author personally collaborated with specialists from the WHO, the CSER, the UN, and laboratories across the globe. Inspired by cutting edge science, and first-hand accounts from outbreak responders, the Convulsive series takes pandemic fiction to the next level. Prepare yourself for a spine-tingling thought experiment, unfolding through a journey of twists, grit, and sacrifice. Discover what it really means to be human, and what it takes to survive, when everything you’ve ever known is under attack. Marcus Martin’s writing has been hailed by fans of A.G. Riddle, Stephen King, Cormac McCarthy, Steven Konkoly, A. R. Shaw, Bobby Akart, Jack Hunt, Tim Lebbon, Jasper T. Scott, Nicholas Sansbury Smith, E S Richards, Sam Best, M.P. McDonald, Adrienne Lecter, Baileigh Higgins, and Jeff Olah. WARNING: This series cuts close to the bone. It contains strong language and depicts scenes of a violent nature. You will be immersed in a vivid, dystopian disaster, where your survival hangs by a thread. This is not a journey for the faint of heart. This is a fight for survival…

As the global banking boom of the early twenty-first century expanded towards implosion, Icelandic media began calling the country's celebrity financiers útrásarvíkingar: “raiding vikings.” This new coinage encapsulated the macho, medievalist nationalism which underwrote Iceland's exponential financialisation. Yet within a few days in October 2008, Iceland saw all its main banks collapse beneath debts worth nearly ten times the country's GDP.Hall charts how Icelandic novelists and poets grappled with the Crash over the ensuing decade. As the first English-language monograph devoted to twenty-first-century Icelandic literature, it provides Anglophone readers with an introduction to one of the world's liveliest literary scenes. It also contributes a key case study for understanding global artistic responses to the early twenty-first century crisis of runaway, unregulated capitalism, exploring the struggles of writers to adapt realist forms of art to surreal times.As Iceland's biggest crisis since their independence from Denmark in 1944, the effect of the Crash on the national self-image was as seismic as its effects on the economy. This study analyses the centrality of whiteness and the abjection of the “developing world” in Iceland's post-colonial identity, and shows how Crash-writing explores the collisions of Iceland's traditional, nationalist medievalism with a dystopian, Orientalist medievalism associated with the Islamic world.The Crash in Iceland was instantly recognised as offering important economic insights. This book shows how Iceland also helps us to understand the cultural convulsions that have followed the Financial Crisis widely in the West.

This second edition of 'Seizures and Epilepsy' is completely revised, due to tremendous advances in the understanding of the fundamental neuronal mechanisms underlying epileptic phenomena, as well as current diagnosis and treatment, which have been heavily influenced over the past several decades by seminal neuroscientific developments, particularly the introduction of molecular neurobiology, genetics, and modern neuroimaging. This resource covers a broad range of both basic and clinical epileptology.

2 Vol. 3: Hormones, Psychology and Behavior (1952). A range of interests was covered in respect to the influence of glucocorticoids on behavioral responses, as well as to the glucocorticoid status in various behavioral states and disorders. Vol. 4: Anterior Pituitary Secretion and Hormonal Influence in Water Metab olism (1952). Book II of this volume contains considerable detail about the various relationships of the glucocorticoids to other hormones with respect to their influence on water and electrolyte excretion. Vol. 5: Bioassay of Anterior Pituitary and Adrenal Cortical Hormones (1953). An entire section was devoted to chemical measurement and bioassay of gluco corticoids in blood and urine, with a comparison of these methods. Vol. 7: Synthesis and Metabolism of Adrenal Cortical Steroids (1954). Additional data on the intermediary metabolism and biosynthesis of the glucocorticoids are available in this volume and supplement the review by HECHTER and PINCUS listed below (cf. DoRFMAN, Chapter 3, Part 1 of this Handbuch volume). Vol. 8: The Human Adrenal Cortex (1955). A very wide range of articles was presented which extended from studies of the adrenal cortex itself to studies of adrenal function in a variety of human somatic and psychological stressful situa tions, and clinical conditions. DEBono, R. C., and N. ALTSZULER: Insulin Hypersensitivity and Physiological Insulin Antagonists. Physiol. Rev. 38: 389-445 (1958). The subject of this review went beyond glucocorticoids, but the influence and role of these steroids in relation to insulin, other hormones and carbohydrate metabolism was thoroughly handled.
