Book Description
“Phartom of the Opera – A Classic of the Gasses” was a witty and fun written book by Frank A. Pellegrino. Frank was 82 years old when he finished this book and as he so often said, he hoped all who would read this book would not be offended and would enjoy the laughter so many appreciate about Mother Nature and her gastric processes in our bodies. We all at some point in our daily lives experience excessive gas in our stomachs and while some find this disgusting others find very funny. This book “Captain Pharto Disciplines the Brats” is a take off sequel of the return to “Phartom of the Opera – A Classic of the Gasses” You see, writer friends of Aliceanne Pellegrino-Henricks liked to play with Sticks, Bricks and play terrible tricks. Various disciplines on Earth had been applied, but the writer brats became incorrigible and Granny Aliceanne tried out many forms of discipline. When all seemed to fail, Granny Aliceanne went to Captain Pharto and asked for his help in a different kind of discipline. So enjoy your Pharto Blasto Flights throughout the Universe and perhaps you may want to wear a mask while reading. Since Frank passed away December 3, 2006 and was not able to complete his Pharto Blasto Missions with these brats. His widow, Aliceanne agreed to write the finishing episodes and hopefully while disciplining the brats in each episode they will entertain you and bring you much laughter. All the episodes are entertaining and of course untrue and the brats unharmed.

Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
Few experiences are more thrilling than watching unsuspecting wild animals go about their business in a natural environment. The ultimate triumph comes when you've tracked down an animal on its own terms, on its own turf. The Complete Tracker is a concise, thorough guide to the tracks, signs, and habits of North America’s most popular species of wildlife. Readers learn the secrets of a master tracker, assembling a clear picture from tracks, scat, and other signs, that enable them to answer questions such as, Was it a dog or a wolf? Fox or coyote? Did it pass by yesterday or an hour ago? The Complete Tracker also provides information about how to get close to animals—everything from bobcats to beavers, marmots to moose—by knowing the details of their habits and a master-tracker’s tips on avoiding detection. More than 150 line drawings show tracks of sixty different species of wildlife under a great variety of terrain conditions. The book also includes maps, charts, and diagrams. This new edition is expanded with new chapters on peccaries, dogs, cats, armadillos, birds, reptiles, and amphibians, and enhanced with full color photos throughout making it an invaluable resource for hikers, nature lovers, and outsdoorsmen everywhere.

The Tao of Chemistry and Life
Author: Eugene H. Cordes
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190451483
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
Written with the non-scientist in mind, this book employs the molecule and its interactions to explain the characteristics of living organisms in terms of the underlying chemistry of life. Following introductory chapters on the fundamentals of life, attention then turns to small molecules such as hormones and neurotransmitters and subsequently to macromolecules including proteins and nucleic acids. The interactions between small and macromolecules remains a central point throughout the book. These include enzymatic catalysis, hormone action, neurotransmission, regulation of metabolism, biosynthesis of macromolecules, the mechanism of action of drugs, taste, olfaction, learning and memory, and chemical communication. A second central point of emphasis is the sensitive relationship between chemical structure and biological activity. Examples abound and include why subtle changes in fatty acid architecture have positive or negative outcomes for human health in omega-three fatty acids and trans fats and how modest changes in the chemical decoration of the steroid skeleton provide the difference between male and female sex hormones. Beyond these examples taken from the chemistry of small molecules, the book includes a thoughtful consideration of genomics, including the relationship between genome structure and species. The theme of human health appears throughout the book. Cardiovascular medicine, cancer, metabolic diseases, and diseases of the nervous system receive significant attention including consideration of how a variety of drugs work in combating these issues. In sum, the goal of this book is to inform the non-scientist community in a way that will lead to increased understanding of the relationship between chemistry and life.
