Beschreibung

"Hidden Venom" explores the fascinating world of venomous animals beyond the usual suspects like snakes and spiders, revealing how venom has evolved in surprising species such as certain mammals, amphibians, and fish. The book challenges our conventional understanding of nature's defense mechanisms, highlighting that venom is far more widespread than previously believed. Intriguingly, the book notes that advances in molecular biology and proteomics have been crucial in identifying venom components in creatures once considered harmless. This exploration sheds light on the complex interplay between predator and prey, and how these "hidden" venoms influence ecological balance.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the concept of "hidden venom" and then delving into the evolutionary origins and diversification of venom in unexpected lineages. It also examines the complex chemistry and pharmacology of these venoms, dedicating chapters to major animal groups. The book emphasizes the ecological roles of these "hidden" venoms and their potential applications in medicine and biotechnology. By focusing on overlooked venomous animals, "Hidden Venom" provides a unique perspective that is valuable for anyone interested in natural history, biology, or the life sciences.

    “When you take an orchid out of its pot, you must first loosen the roots’ hold on the soil. Late last evening as I unravelled the braids of the shattered phalaenopsis, I saw how the ends were white and shrivelled from neglect. You have to do it gently—it’s like combing hair. I remember Mum’s fingers running through mine, and mine through hers, until the final months when all of it started to fall.” 
     
     
    A pot shatters. An arrangement falls apart. A florist finds herself amidst the scattered leaves of history. At once a poetry collection and a documentary novella, The Orchid Folios reimagines the orchid as a living, breathing document of history: a history that enmeshes the personal, colonial, linguistic, and biotechnological with the Vanda Miss Joaquim, the symbol of Singapore’s postcolonial hybridity. While the Orchid has shaped the fantastical narratives that govern our multiracial City in a Garden, it continues to shape-shift and bloom on its own terms, challenging us to imagine a decolonised Singapore. This is the organism at the heart of The Orchid Folios—by turns stark and unruly, documenting and challenging the narratives that are the roots of our national consciousness.

    Saki's Cats rounds up the tales about cats, big and small, by the undisputed master of the short story.
    'Tobermory', one of Saki's most famous pieces, demonstrates the danger that would ensue from granting cats the power of speech – animals have long lurked unseen, eavesdropping, in the background. The tom in 'The Philanthropist and the Happy Cat' is the only one to enjoy his meal, as is the leopard in 'The Guests'. In 'The Penance' and 'Mrs Packletide's Tiger', hunters who put cats in their sights are humiliated and blackmailed. 'The Achievement of the Cat' considers how cats have come to be served by the human race.
    In addition to the short stories about cats, Saki's Cats also collects Saki's juvenile letters to his sister Ethel about the tiger cub he adopted while living in Burma.
    The feisty felines of these tales are the only clear winners, and, with a characteristic smirk and dash of his pen, it is Edwardian Society that Saki sends slinking off, tail between its legs.
