Physiological, Developmental and Behavioral Effects of Marine Pollution
Synthesizing decades of work, but up-to-date, this book focuses on organism-level responses to pollutants by marine animals, mainly crustaceans, molluscs, and fishes. Emphasizing effects on physiological processes (feeding/digestion, respiration, osmoregulation), life-cycle (reproduction [including endocrine disruption], embryo... | | | | |

ESP, Psychokinesis, and Psychics
Many people have experienced psi, whether as a sense of having been in a place before (deja vu), hearing a voice in their head that gave them guidance, or following their intuition. For some, these events can be attributed to coincidence, but for psychics, such episodes occur more frequently and intensely, often manifesting in dreams,... | | Seasonal Patterns of Stress, Immune Function, and Disease
Most animals exhibit seasonal variation in their reproduction and survival
simply because most of them live in environments in which food availability
varies seasonally. This is true in the tropics as well as at the higher latitudes, but

Food Chemical Risk Analysis (Food Science & Safety Series)

food regulations at the beginning of the century were primarily aimed at
prevention of adulteration and fraud rather than directed at consumer
safety. It is only in the second half of the century... | | Gene Engineering in Endocrinology (Contemporary Endocrinology)
During the past five to ten years, a variety of tools has been developed in the disciplines of both gene engineering, and molecular and structural biology. Some of these advances have permitted scientists not only to identify and characterize genes, but also to target these genes by disruption, thus eliminating their function in living... | | Light and Dark: An exploration in science, nature, art and technologyEncourages us to take a more careful look at many familiar phenomena, such as the variations in the duration of twilight through the year and the ability of human vision to misinterpret patterns of lines under certain conditions.

Before my brother and I were allowed to turn on the TV the only rule was that our beds had to be made, our breakfast eaten (Quisp! cereal) and our teeth brushed. Of course, we were up at the crack of dawn so as to not miss a thing.... | | |
