In 'The Plunderers' by Edwin Lefevre, readers are immersed in a gripping tale of corporate greed and financial manipulation during the Gilded Age. Written in Lefevre's signature fast-paced and suspenseful style, the novel explores the ruthlessness of Wall Street speculators and the ethical dilemmas faced by those caught in their web of deceit. Set against the backdrop of the stock market boom of the late 19th century, the book delves deep into the dark underbelly of American capitalism, shedding light on the moral compromises made in the pursuit of wealth and power. Lefevre's detailed descriptions and sharp dialogue add to the authenticity of the narrative, drawing readers into a world of high-stakes finance and betrayal. Edwin Lefevre, a former Wall Street trader himself, brings a unique insider perspective to 'The Plunderers', drawing on his own experiences in the financial industry to craft a compelling and realistic portrayal of the era. His intimate knowledge of market dynamics and human behavior lends credibility to the characters and events depicted in the novel, enriching the reader's understanding of the complexities of financial speculation. I highly recommend 'The Plunderers' to anyone interested in thrilling historical fiction with a focus on financial intrigue and moral ambiguity. Lefevre's masterful storytelling and insightful observations make this novel a must-read for fans of literary works that explore the darker side of capitalism.

Immune system and cannabis

Pharmacology University

Have you ever wondered how your body defends you from disease? It happens because we have the immune system. And what is the immune system? The immune system is a network of interconnected organs, tissues and cells whose mission is to protect us against foreign agents. In this way it is possible to have a defense response against an infectious agent. It is located in the bone marrow, thymus, tonsils, adenoids, Peyer's patches, liver, spleen and lymph nodes, among others.
How does it work? Through the detection of pathogens and its response to eliminate them. The success of maintaining health can be attributed to the ability of the immune system to recognize and consequently respond against microbes or substances in a targeted manner.
At this moment you must be wondering What is the relationship between cannabinoids and the immune system? There is a reason for the relationship. Cannabinoids have been used for many years for different purposes. Recently, discoveries have emerged about their mechanisms of action and therapeutic targets, as well as the alterations in the endocannabinoid system observed in various diseases and conditions that manifest with pain, inflammation, autoimmune pathologies and different organ-specific disorders. In addition, fundamental elements of the endocannabinoid system are found in the cells of the immune system and you will learn about this in detail in this audiobook.
A lot of questions, right? These and other questions will be solved with this audiobook that Pharmacology University brings to you.
