Summary

Deadliest Snakes explores the fascinating world of venomous snakes, delving into the science behind their potent venom and the evolutionary pressures that have shaped their deadly capabilities. The book investigates the diverse compositions of snake venoms, highlighting how neurotoxins can paralyze the nervous system while hemotoxins disrupt blood clotting.

 
It profiles champion venomous snakes like the king cobra, inland taipan, and black mamba, detailing their hunting strategies and habitats. The book argues that despite their fearsome reputation, venomous snakes are integral to their ecosystems and potential sources of biomedical resources. It emphasizes the co-evolutionary arms race between snakes and their prey, resulting in highly specialized and potent venom.

 
The approach is scientific and analytical, presenting complex information in an accessible and engaging manner. Progressing from venom production and delivery to the biology and behavior of various snake families, the book culminates in a discussion of the potential medical applications of snake venom.

    The Deadly Rise of Anti-science...

    During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, one renowned scientist, in his famous bowtie, appeared daily on major news networks such as MSNBC, NPR, the BBC, and others.  
     
    Dr. Peter J. Hotez often went without sleep, working around the clock to develop a nonprofit COVID-19 vaccine and to keep the public informed. During that time, he was one of the most trusted voices on the pandemic and was even nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for  
    his selfless work. He also became one of the main targets of anti-science rhetoric that gained traction through conservative news media.  
     
    In this eyewitness story of how the anti-vaccine movement grew into a dangerous and prominent anti-science element in American politics, Hotez describes the devastating impacts it has had on Americans’ health and lives. As a scientist who has endured antagonism from anti-vaxxers and been at the forefront of both essential scientific discovery and advocacy, Hotez is uniquely qualified to tell this story. By weaving his personal experiences together with information on how the anti-vaccine movement became a tool of far-right political figures around the world, Hotez opens readers’ eyes to the dangers of anti-science. He explains how anti-science became a major societal and lethal force: in the first years of the pandemic, more than 200,000 unvaccinated Americans needlessly died despite the widespread availability of COVID-19 vaccines. Even as he paints a picture of the world under a shadow of aggressive ignorance, Hotez demonstrates his innate optimism, offering solutions for how to combat science denial and save lives in the process.

    Now a sprawling video game franchise, Resident Evil has kept us on the edge of our seats for decades with its tried-and-true brand of jump scares, zombie action, and biological horror. But even decades after its release, we can't stop revisiting the original's thrills, chills, and sometimes unintentional spills. 
     
      
     
    Pop culture writer and horror cinephile Philip J Reed takes dead aim at 1996's Resident Evil, the game that named and defined the genre we now call "survival horror." While examining Resident Evil's influences from the worlds of film, literature, and video games alike, Reed's love letter to horror examines how the game's groundbreaking design and its atmospheric fixed-cam cinematography work to thrill and terrify players—and why that terror may even be good for you. 
     
     
     
    Featuring a foreword from Troma Entertainment legend Lloyd Kaufman and new interviews with the game's voice actors and its live-action cast, the book serves as the master of unlocking the behind-the-scenes secrets of Resident Evil, and shows how even a game filled with the most laughable dialogue can still scare the pants off of you.

    You've probably read the phrase "anyone can learn how to code" many times before you landed this book. 
    While setting goals high is great, realistically speaking, coding isn't the most beginner-friendly skill to learn. 
    In fact, the resources available online usually make learning how to code sound too easy, but you'll soon find out that the book, tutorial or any other guide assumes you already know the basics and have the semblance of coding skills. By the time you figure this out, you're midway through a book you don't understand and just wasted your precious time. 
    This book was written specifically to: 
    Give beginners a road map to follow, after choosing the type of project they want to do 
    Make the content as straightforward as possible for kids, teens and non-tech adults to understand 
    How to Get the Most out of this Book 
    For starters, don't skip between chapters. You might get your light-bulb moment as you read through the first chapter, but make sure you understand all your options before deciding on one particular coding project.
