Excerpt from The Effects of Desiccating Winds on Citrus Trees Citrus groves in southern California are often seriously injured by hot, dry winds from the interior deserts during October, November, and December. The local name for these winds is 'northers.' They often blow continuously for several days, but at times intermittently. They carry more or less dust, depending upon the character of the country over which they blow. Citrus trees in exposed situations are' severely damaged by these winds, but no locality is entirely exempt from injury.

The Future is Alive "Who needs chrome, pal? Meat is where it's at now. Mother Nature always did it best -- she just needed a little help. Get down to the black clinic, old-timer, and you can be 15 again. That is, if you still want to be human at all." It's the technology of the posthuman age: biotech! Upgrade your old body with steroids and smart drugs, transplants, and viral nano . . . or just get a new one. Maybe you don't think being human is so great? Then improve on nature with eugenics and gene-fixing. Or just go parahuman: if you love cats, become one! The technology's changing fast, but you'll have lots of time to get used to it -- death is only a temporary inconvenience with cryonics and immortality drugs. And who needs silicon and steel? Vatbrain biocomputers are where it's really at! But it's not just about the future. GURPS Bio-Tech includes a full range of 19th, 20th, and 21st-century medical equipment, from early vaccines to surgical robots, along with game stats for the world's most deadly diseases. GURPS Bio-Tech also includes a complete set of character templates for biotech professions, rules for biotech magic, and two original campaign settings: an alternate Earth ruled by a clone of Alexander the Great, and a living starship on its way to colonize an alien world! Say goodbye to your old body. Have you upgraded your genetics this year? This is the second edition of GURPS Bio-Tech. It has been revised to the GURPS Fourth Edition rules and expanded to cover medicine, drugs, magic, and new technologies. Some entries were introduced in GURPS Space, GURPS Robots, and the Transhuman Space series.
