Sinossi

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.

    The undisputed master of the short story, Saki's name is synonymous with brilliant writing that satirises Edwardian Society, and his plays were no exception. In his only full-length play, 'The Watched Pot', Trevor Bavvel, sole heir to a country estate, is in want of a wife, but must operate under the strict attention of his miserly mother Hortensia. 
    Although wildly neglected today, Saki's plays met with widespread acclaim in his day, and he was even compared favourably with the great Oscar Wilde. This complete edition of Saki's plays – the first complete edition ever published – demonstrates the great writer's prowess as a playwright, and sparkles with the same wit as the short stories that have enchanted generations of readers.

    Trainspotting is a 1996 British black comedy-drama directed by Danny Boyle, based on Irvine Welsh's novel. The film follows Mark Renton, a young heroin addict living in Edinburgh, as he navigates a chaotic lifestyle with his friends, all grappling with addiction and the struggles of urban poverty.

With its energetic style, Trainspotting explores the highs and lows of drug use, as the characters face difficult choices and confront the realities of their lives. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “The entire film was shot in just seven and a half weeks.” 
      
    “Although it looks thoroughly off-putting, the feces in the "Worst Toilet in Scotland" scene was actually made from chocolate and smelled quite pleasant.” 
      
    “Kelly Macdonald, in her naiveté, invited her mother and brother to the set while filming her sex scene with Ewan McGregor.” 
      
    “Due to a tight budget, many scenes had to be shot in a single take.” 
      
    “Ewen Bremner (Spud) had previously played Renton in a stage adaptation of the novel.”
