A Manual of Shoemaking and Leather and Rubber Products

William H. Dooley

Sinopse

The author, William H. Dooley, the Principal of the Lowell Industrial School, was asked in 1908 by the Lynn Commission on Industrial Education to make an investigation of European shoe schools and to assist the Commission in preparing a course of study for the proposed shoe school in the American city of Lynn. A close investigation showed that there were several textbooks on shoemaking published in Europe, but that no general textbook on shoemaking had been issued in this country adapted to meet the needs of industrial, trade, and commercial schools or those who have just entered the rubber, shoe, and leather trades. This book was thus written to serve this need.

Virology - Exploring Microbes...

Kevin Thorley

Virology is the scientific study of viruses, their structure, function, and impact on living organisms. Viruses are unique entities, existing at the boundary between life and non-life, requiring host cells to reproduce. This field covers the classification of viruses, their methods of replication, and the various ways they interact with hosts, often causing diseases. Understanding virology is crucial for studying infectious diseases like influenza, HIV, and COVID-19, as well as for developing antiviral therapies and vaccines. This chapter sets the foundation for exploring how viruses shape both health and the environment. 
  
Definition and Scope of Virology 
Virology is the branch of science that deals with the study of viruses and virus-like agents, including their structure, classification, genetics, and interaction with host organisms. As microscopic entities that straddle the line between living and non-living, viruses are unique. They are unable to carry out metabolic processes on their own, and must infect a host cell to replicate. This dependence on living organisms is what makes them distinct from other pathogens, such as bacteria and fungi. Despite their simple structure—typically comprising genetic material (DNA or RNA) encased in a protein coat—viruses have a profound impact on all forms of life, from humans to plants and animals.

Pharmacology - Drugs and Their...

Mike Crawford

The study of pharmacology has a rich and complex history that dates back thousands of years. Ancient civilizations relied on plants, minerals, and animal-derived substances to treat various ailments, laying the foundation for modern drug development. The evolution of pharmacology is a testament to human ingenuity and the ongoing quest for medical advancement.
In early human societies, medicine was largely based on trial and error. Traditional healers and shamans experimented with natural substances to alleviate pain, heal wounds, and cure diseases. Ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Greek civilizations made significant contributions to early pharmacology by documenting medicinal plants and their effects. The Ebers Papyrus, an Egyptian medical text from around 1550 BCE, provides one of the earliest records of pharmacological knowledge, listing hundreds of remedies derived from herbs and minerals. Similarly, the works of Hippocrates and Dioscorides in ancient Greece emphasized the importance of observation and classification in medicine.
The transition from natural remedies to synthesized drugs gained momentum during the Renaissance and Enlightenment periods. With the development of the scientific method, researchers began isolating active compounds from plants and studying their effects in controlled settings. The 19th century saw groundbreaking discoveries, such as the isolation of morphine from opium and the synthesis of aspirin. These advancements paved the way for the pharmaceutical industry, leading to the development of more effective and standardized treatments.
