  Saints of Feather and Fang - How...

  From sheepdogs to wombats to coyotes to jellyfish, animals serve important biological roles in the world. But those who love animals know there's more. We know our connection to other creatures is more than fur, scale, or feather deep. 
   
   
   
  In Saints of Feather and Fang, writer and lifelong animal lover Caryn Rivadeneira looks at the ways that animals—from the pets who share our homes to the mysterious creatures of the deep—serve as spiritual guides for our hearts, minds, and souls. 
   
   
   
  Christian scripture teems with mammals, birds, and reptiles, and research on animals' sensory responses suggests that we not only care for our beloved animals but they, at times, care for us. A therapy pony who visits stroke victims, a rescued pit bull who shows restraint, hedgehogs that scurry down highways made just for them: these stories offer entrée to tender, whimsical, and deeply theological reflection on creaturely delight, instinct, curiosity, adaptation, fear, and awe. In them we discover and connect with the God who beckons, rescues, and shelters us with stretched-out wings.

  Uncle Remus

  Many readers will already be familiar with Uncle Remus’ favorite animal characters – Br’er Rabbit and Br’er Fox among them – and some of the popular tales concerning them. (To this day, “tar baby” as an expression for a particularly sticky situation that is almost impossible to solve, has passed into the English language and common use.) Even people who have never read any of these tales will know exactly why you don’t throw a rabbit into a briar patch, mainly because Walt Disney produced his first movie ever to use professional actors with animation, called “Song of the South”, based on the Uncle Remus tales. 
      Joel Chandler Harris, a newsman in Georgia, grew up listening to folktales told by the local black population. Later, he published his version of these tales in a series of stories printed in the “Atlanta Constitution.” The tales of, and by, Harris’ chief character Uncle Remus, an old black man scrabbling to make his living in the post-Civil War South, were extremely popular and widely read. Harris’ use of innovative spelling to give the reader a sense of the black dialect was considered novel.    While this is not a book that will pass a current political correctness test, due to its use of labels for black folks which have gone out of polite conversation, Uncle Remus is a largely sympathetic look at post-war plantation life. Uncle Remus himself is a warm, folksy man of good humor and dry wit, and after finishing his animal stories, the remaining sayings and tales are a moment of history frozen in amber. (Summary by Mark)

  In this incredible audiobook, we invite you to learn about the different methods of extraction and analysis of the main cannabinoids for the use of derivatives in the cannabis industry. 
  Currently, about 113 compounds have been isolated from the Cannabis sativa species, among the most important are tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). These phytocannabinoids are mostly present in the form of carboxylic acids and are located in the trichomes of this plant. 
  To identify and characterize the chemical molecules present in cannabis, it is important to know how to select the most appropriate extraction method. This technique depends on parameters such as temperature, agitation speed, process time, particle size, and distribution to achieve the concentration of the different cannabinoids. Likewise, it is necessary to implement an analytical system for the determination of cannabinoids, thus increasing the reliability of the efficacy of the formulated products, whether for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, gastronomic, or textile industry.  
  If you are interested in learning more about the latest techniques for the extraction and analysis of phytocannabinoids, we invite you to listen to this audiobook brought to you by Pharmacology University.
