Sinopse

Extreme Insect Venoms explores the captivating realm of insect toxins, focusing on their chemical compositions and the evolutionary adaptations that have shaped their development. The book unveils the intricate world of insect defenses, examining how creatures like the bullet ant and bombardier beetle utilize potent venoms and toxins. One intriguing example is the neurotoxic venom of the bullet ant, which causes excruciating pain, while another is the bombardier beetle’s explosive defensive spray.

 
The book begins by laying a groundwork in venom production and toxicology, then systematically progresses through specific insect groups known for their extreme toxins. Each chapter delves into specific cases, integrating chemical analyses, ecological observations, and evolutionary insights. The approach combines primary research, field studies, and data from venom peptide sequencing, offering an accessible yet thorough understanding of insect venoms for students, researchers, and anyone fascinated by nature, biology, and science.

 
The value of Extreme Insect Venoms lies in its interdisciplinary approach, connecting pharmacology, evolutionary biology, and biochemistry to provide a comprehensive analysis. By exploring the ecological pressures that drive venom development and the potential applications of insect venoms in medicine and biotechnology, the book provides a unique perspective on the intersection of chemistry, biology, and evolution in the context of insect defenses.

    When we get dressed, we don't have to do it so much to wear something, but we have to choose the right fabrics, clothes for the right occasion and the exact match. This is why we present three fabrics that are always at the forefront in the world of fashion and everyday wear: silk, linen, cotton. These three fabrics are used purely in the summer and mid-season, giving a sense of freshness and lightness to those who wear them, therefore wearable all day without problems. In many cases they also dress for the evening, as far as linen and cotton are concerned, the situation is different for silk. You have always seen women and men use silk for style and sophistication in various types of outfits. Silk has an incredible history for how it was born, linen, a purely vegetable fabric, is the oldest of the three, cotton, with a very sad history behind it, for its harvesting in the plantations where it was originally grown. In short, a beautiful adventure within these three stories that will enrich you in the knowledge of these three fabrics.

    This program is read by the author, comedian and severe dyslexic Phil Hanley, who reveals his unlikely path to success in a story that is equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking.When Phil Hanley was in first grade, he realized something that would forever set him apart from his peers: he couldn’t read. His teachers were ill-equipped to assist him, and he slipped through the school’s cracks, year by year falling further and further behind his friends. Finally, he was diagnosed with dyslexia, a learning disability that would shape the rest of his life.Unable to pursue college or a traditional job, Phil was thrust into a life defined by unconventional twists, including a stint as a runway model in Europe. Eventually, he found himself on a stage with a microphone, a spotlight, and five minutes of jokes. Unlike so many previous pursuits, stand-up felt right to Phil, and he soon discovered that the more he worked at it, the more he got out of it—a realization that, he compellingly argues, saved his life. Spellbound is a story of humor and also of struggle and heartbreak, of constantly living in a world that sees things differently than you do, and of triumph over adversity.Hanley tells us that dyslexia can be a huge challenge, but it doesn’t spell certain condemnation (and neither can he). Just the opposite: dyslexia has been more than a blessing in his life—it’s been his North Star.A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.
