The team of assassins includes a Harvard educated Cyclops; his assistant, composed of ancient dust, named UGH; a mysterious woman with a somber history of sexual abuse name, None,; A woman employed by the C.I.A., previously a statue in a museum, named Ida; a scientist with a half omniscient mind, name Dr. Sseus; twenty-seven past presidents; and Dr. Pangloss the Programmer. God, not wanting to take any of the blame, assigns the devil to assume his role during the tribulation, only he must refer to himself as (“God”) The misadventures that occur only leave the world in an “utter mess” with absolutely no one in charge and the most unexpected resolution of all.

There’s danger down under, and if sleuth Emily Andrew can’t solve the mystery, life might permanently stay upside down! When Emily Andrew lands in the Land of Oz—Australia, that is—she and her hearty group of world-touring seniors know they're not in Iowa anymore. Winter is summer, drains drain counterclockwise, and all the comforts of home are, well, back home. Even Emily's love life is upside down: her darling detective Etienne Miceli has yet to propose, while gorgeous tour director Duncan Lazarus is vying to be more than just mates. Emily is preoccupied calming the group's jitters about the outback's killers, from sunstroke to snake bites. But when a fellow traveler turns up dead, Emily fears something far more toxic has struck: human greed. Someone has stumbled upon a natural wonder that could turn science on its head -- was this priceless discovery the catalyst for murder? Before the dust settles, a second untimely death occurs. If Emily can't stop a killer in their tracks, this Aussie adventure just may be her last.

With the increased prevalence of kidney transplantation, transplant recipients are being treated in a variety of clinical settings – often beyond the transplant center. There is a greater need for clinicians and allied healthcare professionals to have appropriate guidance on managing these patients. Kidney Transplantation offers the latest evidence-based information on the full range of dilemmas in the medical management of kidney transplant recipients before, during and after transplantation. Beginning with the selection of patients who are candidates for transplantation, this authoritative guide covers the care of the patient on the waiting list and evaluation of donors, preoperative care, induction and immunosuppression maintenance. This wealth of new information and guidelines will serve as an important resource for the best possible care for transplant patients.

"In an effort to treat a debilitating mood disorder, Ayelet Waldman undertook a very private experiment, ingesting 10 micrograms of LSD every three days for a month. This is the story--by turns revealing, courageous, fascinating and funny--of her quietly psychedelic spring, her quest to understand one of our most feared drugs, and her search for a really good day"--

The evolution of the human brain and cognitive ability is one of the central themes of physical/biological anthropology. This book discusses the emergence of human cognition at a conceptual level, describing it as a process of long adaptive stasis interrupted by short periods of cognitive advance. These advances were not linear and directed, but were acquired indirectly as part of changing human behaviors, in other words through the process of exaptation (acquisition of a function for which it was not originally selected). Based on studies of the modem human brain, certain prerequisites were needed for the development of the early brain and associated cognitive advances. This book documents the energy and nutrient constraints of the modern brain, highlighting the significant role of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) in brain development and maintenance. Crawford provides further emphasis for the role of essential fatty acids, in particular DHA, in brain development, by discussing the evolution of the eye and neural systems. This is an ideal book for Graduate students, post docs, research scientists in Physical/Biological Anthropology, Human Biology, Archaeology, Nutrition, Cognitive Science, Neurosciences. It is also an excellent selection for a grad student discussion seminar.

Nutritional sciences are the study of food, nutrients, and other food substances, as well as how they are taken in and processed biochemically, how they affect health and disease, and how this information can be used to make policies and programs. It has a wide variety of potential uses. Nutritionists study the consequences of nutritional deficits and excesses for illness prevention and treatment, and they have a thorough grasp of how food is digested, absorbed, and metabolized at various points in the lifespan. As in this book, professionals who work in the area of nutritional science also rely on their understanding of the social sciences to comprehend the socio-cultural, psychological, economic, and political aspects impacting food choices and health standards. Focuses on nutrition range from the investigation of biochemical pathways and their connections with genetics (nutritional genomics) to the observation of dietary intake and its association with health outcomes (nutritional epidemiology) to the development and evaluation of treatments intended to boost community health to the administration of policies and programs meant to increase people's access to healthy foods.

The science of nutrition has advanced beyond expectation since Antoine La voisier as early as the 18th century showed that oxygen was necessary to change nutrients in foods to compounds which would become a part of the human body. He was also the first to measure metabolism and to show that oxidation within the body produces heat and energy. In the two hundred years that have elapsed, the essentiality of nitrogen-containing nutrients and of proteins for growth and maintenance of tissue has been established; the ne cessity for carbohydrates and certain types of fat for health has been docu mented; vitamins necessary to prevent deficiency diseases have been identified and isolated; and the requirement of many mineral elements for health has been demonstrated. Further investigations have defined the role of these nutrients in metabolic processes and quantitated their requirements at various stages of development. Additional studies have involved their use in the possible prevention of, and therapy for, disease conditions.
