His discovery to cure heart ailments in collaboration with an American molecular biologist, Dr. Rihanna originating from a tiny middle-east country of terrorists, whom he met incidentally in a social gathering, makes a sensation throughout world. Their further research project to eradicate influenza epidemic from world accidentally resulted into a biological weapon of mass killing. Dr. Mahesh and Dr. Rihanna’s romantic mission for testing the weapon over middle-east successfully materialized. But both of them were finally packed off by American military to a torturous prison in a remote American island. By dint of shear ingenious scientific tricks, the couple arrived to take safe shelter in an opponent country.

Exuberant Life

Book Description
The terrestrial organisms of the Galápagos Islands live under conditions unlike those anywhere else. At the edge of a uniquely rich mid-ocean upwelling, their world is also free of mammalian predators and competitors, allowing them to live unbothered, exuberant lives. With its giant tortoises, marine iguanas, flightless cormorants, and forests of giant daisies, there's no question that this is a magnificent place. Long before people traversed the Earth, evolution endowed native species with adaptations to these special conditions and to perturbations like El Niño events and periodic droughts. As the islands have grown ever-more connected with humanity, those same adaptations now make its species vulnerable. Today, the islands are best viewed as one big social-ecological system where the ability of each native organism to survive and reproduce is a product of human activity in addition to ecological circumstances. In this book, William H. Durham takes readers on a tour of Galápagos and the organisms that inhabit these isolated volcanic islands. Exuberant Life offers a contemporary synthesis of what we know about the evolution of its curiously wonderful organisms, how they are faring in the tumultuous changing world around them, and how evolution can guide our efforts today for their conservation. The book highlights the ancestry of a dozen specific organisms in these islands, when and how they made it to the Galápagos, as well as how they have changed in the meantime. Durham traces the strengths and weaknesses of each species, arguing that the mismatch between natural challenges of their habitats and the challenges humans have recently added is the main task facing conservation efforts today. Such analysis often provides surprises and suggestions not yet considered, like the potential benefits to joint conservation efforts between tree finches and tree daisies, or ways in which the peculiar evolved behaviors of Nazca and blue-footed boobies can be used to benefit both species today. In each chapter, a social-ecological systems framework is used to highlight links between human impact, including climate change, and species status today, Historically, the Galápagos have played a central role in our understanding of evolution; what these islands now offer to teach us about conservation may well prove indispensable for the future of the planet.

Clairvoyant with Hunger
Author: Laurence Lieberman
Publisher: Texas A&M University Press
ISBN: 1680030922
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
The book leads off with fourteen short essays on poems from James Dickey’s last book, The Eagle’s Mile, twelve short essays on James Wright’s best prose poems, a long essay on Dickey’s third novel, To the White Sea, a long essay on W. S. Merwin’s 320 page poem, The Folding Cliffs, an essay on the major Iraqi poet Dunya Mikhail, a familiar essay on the Japanese poet Ryuichi Tamura, whose work Lieberman translated for publication during his fellowship year in Japan (1971-1972), an essay on four poets for Stephen Bert’s anthology on Marianne Moore, Theodore Roethke, D. H. Lawrence, and Hart Crane; a long essay on the work of poet David Bottoms; and Lieberman’s own interview for a special feature of his work in Fifth Wednesday Journal in Chicago, Spring 2014. The essays range in location from Chicago to Atlanta, Iraq, and Japan. "In prose free of either jargon or agenda, Lieberman reads and illuminates our poetries according to one pure clear criterion: excellence. I know of no other critic who could so wonderfully combine negative capability and passion in order to create such generous insight." —Donald Revell, Poetry editor, The Colorado Review "I believe the best of Lieberman's essays equal Stevens' most shattering and inspiring prose: we understand reality as well as literature with a more humane sense of what we are, which is how revelations of empathetic intelligence, rare as they are, function for us." —Stephen Berg, founding editor of The American Poetry Review "Laurence Lieberman, himself an excellent poet, is one of the most intelligent and perceptive critics of poetry to be found today. His studies of contemporary poets are extraordinary feats of imaginative mediation. Immersing himself totally in the fullness of the work, giving himself to it with a receptiveness and sensitivity that are almost uncanny, he attains understanding in depth—and from the vantage point of an inner identification explains, clarifies, connects. He is just about the best reader a poet can hope for, and through his criticism he shares his great gift with others." —Frederick Morgan, founding editor of The Hudson Review

Author: KRIS ATTFIELD
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1452087040
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
The Book of Finch tells the story of the writer, who, from his personal real-life perspective sees himself as a real 'Topsy Kretts' of the motion picture "The Number 23", for various reasons you might identify when reading the book. Realizing that this movie was a critical flop and he had earned absolutely no money from the sales, the Author explains the highlight of his life's story, the poorly kept secret (OK, he never kept it secret) of a most unnatural set of experiences that, though public entertainment glares the nature of the story, most people likely haven't heard about, as the ACTUAL TRUTH of the whole matter never found its way into the movie. Scan the pages of this book to find the disturbing tale of a reality you may never have suspected the actual existence of, and the Author's viewpoint of experiencing it. Includes 17 poems written by the author during the latter part of the story.

A Synthesis of the Galápagos
Author: Guillermo Paz-y-Miño-C
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 103640188X
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 619
Book Description
There are hundreds of books and thousands of scientific articles about the Galápagos. This volume is distinctive. The authors, Guillermo Paz-y-Miño-C and Avelina Espinosa, synthesize, integrate, and conceptualize the most recent evolutionary-biology research being conducted in the archipelago’s terrestrial and aquatic environments; the conflicts resulting from human interactions with nature, including local population growth and tourism practices in the context of short- and long-term conservation efforts; and make predictions about the destiny of the Galápagos’ unique biodiversity and landscapes under various scenarios of climate-change impacts, urbanization trends, diversification of tourism, and conservation investments. Offering over 260 figures and diagrams, this work will appeal to a broad audience, including professors in academia, college instructors, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and research undergraduates. Another target audience is study-abroad and international field-trip instructors and their students who travel to the Galápagos year-round. Science writers and policymakers will find in this book useful information to discuss and debate about imminent environmental threats to afflict the Galápagos as a consequence of human population growth, tourism practices, and climate change.
