  Sex Death and Fly-Fishing

  John Gierach

  • 0
  • 0
  • 0

  From the irrepressible author of Trout Bum and The View from Rat Lake comes an engaging, humorous, often profound examination of life's greatest mysteries: sex, death, and fly-fishing. 
   
   
   
  John Gierach's quest takes us from his quiet home water (an ordinary, run-of-the-mill trout stream where fly-fishing can be a casual affair) to Utah's famous Green River, and to unknown creeks throughout the Western states and Canada. We're introduced to a lively group of fishing buddies, some local "experts," and even an ex-girlfriend, along the way. 
   
   
   
  Contemplative, evocative, and wry, he shares insights on mayflies and men, fishing and sport, life and love, and the meaning (or meaninglessness) of it all.

  Owning the Sun - A People's...

  Alexander Zaitchik

  Owning the Sun tells the story of one of the most contentious fights in human history: the legal right to control the production of lifesaving medicines. Medical science began as a discipline geared toward the betterment of all human life, but the merging of research with intellectual property and the rise of the pharmaceutical industry warped and eventually undermined its ethical foundations. Why does the US government fund the development of medical science in the name of the public, only to relinquish exclusive rights to drug companies, and how does such a system impoverish us, weaken our responses to global crises, and, as in the case of AIDS and COVID-19, put the world at risk? 
   
   
    
  Outlining how generations of public health and science advocates have attempted to hold the line against Big Pharma and their allies in government, Alexander Zaitchik's first-in-kind history documents the rise of medical monopoly in the United States and its subsequent globalization. From the controversial arrival of patent-wielding German drug firms in the late nineteenth century, to present-day coordination between industry and philanthropic organizations—including the influential Gates Foundation—that stymie international efforts to vaccinate the world against COVID-19, Owning the Sun tells one of the most important and least understood histories of our time.

  Histology - Microscopic Anatomy...

  Histology, often referred to as microscopic anatomy, is the branch of biology that focuses on the structure and organization of tissues at a cellular level. It serves as a bridge between anatomy and physiology, providing essential insights into how tissues function and interact within the body. Through histological studies, scientists and medical professionals gain a deeper understanding of normal tissue architecture, which is crucial for diagnosing diseases, developing treatments, and advancing medical research.  
  The significance of histology extends beyond academic interest—it plays a fundamental role in medicine, particularly in pathology. By examining tissue samples under a microscope, pathologists can detect abnormalities that indicate infections, genetic disorders, or cancerous growths. This microscopic analysis helps in early diagnosis and targeted treatments, improving patient outcomes. Additionally, histology contributes to the fields of pharmacology and biotechnology, where understanding tissue responses to drugs and therapies is essential for innovation.  
  Studying histology requires specialized techniques and tools to visualize tissue structures. Microscopes, ranging from simple light microscopes to advanced electron microscopes, allow researchers to examine the intricate details of cells and their components. To enhance visibility, tissues are typically stained with chemical dyes such as hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), which highlight cellular structures in contrasting colors. Immunohistochemistry, a more advanced technique, uses antibodies to detect specific proteins within tissues, aiding in more precise medical diagnoses.
