Download or read book What s Eating You written by Eugene H. Kaplan and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-03-15 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everything you ever wanted to know about parasites but were too horrified to ask In What's Eating You? Eugene Kaplan recounts the true and harrowing tales of his adventures with parasites, and in the process introduces readers to the intimately interwoven lives of host and parasite. Kaplan has spent his life traveling the globe exploring oceans and jungles, and incidentally acquiring parasites in his gut. Here, he leads readers on an unforgettable journey into the bizarre yet oddly beautiful world of parasites. In a narrative that is by turns frightening, disgusting, and laugh-out-loud funny, Kaplan describes how drinking contaminated water can cause a three-foot-long worm to burst from your arm; how he "gave birth" to a parasite the size and thickness of a pencil while working in Israel; why you should never wave a dead snake in front of your privates; and why fleas are attracted to his wife. Kaplan tells stories about leeches feasting on soldiers in Vietnam; sea cucumbers with teeth in their anuses that seem to encourage the entry of symbiotic fish; the habits of parasites that cause dysentery, river blindness, and other horrifying diseases--and much, much more. Along the way, he explains the underlying science, including parasite evolution and host-parasite physiology. Informative, frequently lurid, and hugely entertaining, this beautifully illustrated book is a must-read for health-conscious travelers, and anyone who has ever wondered if they picked up a tapeworm from that last sushi dinner.

Download or read book When the Rains Come written by John Alcock and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2009-04-17 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life in the desert is a waiting game: waiting for rain. And in a year of drought, the stakes are especially high. John Alcock knows the Sonoran Desert better than just about anyone else, and in this book he tracks the changes he observes in plant and animal life over the course of a drought year. Combining scientific knowledge with years of exploring the desert, he describes the variety of ways in which the wait for rain takes placeÑand what happens when it finally comes. The desert is a land of five seasons, featuring two summersÑhot, dry months followed by monsoonÑand Alcock looks at the changes that take place in an entire desert community over the course of all five. He describes what he finds on hikes in the Usery Mountains near Phoenix, where he has studied desert life over three decades and where frequent visits have enabled him to notice effects of seasonal variation that might escape a casual glance. Blending a personal perspective with field observation, Alcock shows how desert ecology depends entirely on rainfall. He touches on a wide range of topics concerning the desertÕs natural history, noting the response of saguaro flowers to heat and the habits of predators, whether soaring red-tailed hawk or tiny horned lizard. He also describes unusual aspects of insects that few desert hikers will have noticed, such as the disruptive color pattern of certain grasshoppers that is more effective than most camouflage. When the Rains Come is brimming with new insights into the desert, from the mating behaviors of insects to urban sprawl, and features photographs that document changes in the landscape as drought years come and go. It brings us the desert in the harshest of timesÑand shows that it is still teeming with life.

Download or read book There a Petal Silently Falls written by Ch'oe Yun and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2008-05-22 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ch'oe Yun is a Korean author known for her breathtaking versatility, subversion of authority, and bold exploration of the inner life. Readers celebrate her creative play with fantasy and admire her deep engagement with trauma, history, and the vagaries of remembrance. In this collection's title work, There a Petal Silently Falls, Ch'oe explores both the genesis and the aftershocks of historical outrages such as the Kwangju Massacre of 1980, in which a reported 2,000 civilians were killed for protesting government military rule. The novella follows the wanderings of a girl traumatized by her mother's murder and strikes home the injustice of state-sanctioned violence against men and especially women. "Whisper Yet" illuminates the harsh treatment of leftist intellectuals during the years of national division, at the same time offering the hope of reconciliation between ideological enemies. The third story, "The Thirteen-Scent Flower," satirizes consumerism and academic rivalries by focusing on a young man and woman who engender an exotic flower that is coveted far and wide for its various fragrances. Elegantly crafted and quietly moving, Ch'oe Yun's stories are among the most incisive portrayals of the psychological and spiritual reality of post-World War II Korea. Her fiction, which began to appear in the late 1980s, represents a turn toward a more experimental, deconstructionist, and postmodern Korean style of writing, and offers a new focus on the role of gender in the making of Korean history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Synopsis: This book is a chilling paranormal / romance story for the lover of a ghost story that sets the mind to wondering. Could this really happen? Samantha Porter on vacation meets the ghost of Charles Mariner, a shrimp boat captain who disappeared in a violent storm at sea. Now as a wandering spirit, Charles is haunting his old seaside home that after his death, was sold, and remodeled into an inn. Samantha Porter rents a room there and wakes in the night to find the transparent figure of a man standing at the foot of her bed. When she demands to know what he wants, it's almost as if he's a puppet on a string, he's pulled away and disappears. After a few more visits, he finally speaks, and both Charles and Samantha become friends. They spend time together talking and walking the beach, her as a mortal, and Charles as a disembodied voice. They find they're falling in love but realize their love is impossible. They mourn the fact that if death hadn't taken Charles so soon, they would have made the perfect couple. About the Author: She says she didn't begin writing until she realized she was the last one in the family who still had memories of those who had passed away. Their stories would be lost forever if someone didn't capture them for the future. Saving the past began her writing career. After writing the family stories, she found she enjoyed it so much that she began to make up short stories. Then graduated to full-length books specializing in the paranormal/ romance. She writes about haunted houses, ghosts, and aliens from other worlds etc. She found she could weave a good story with a great plot that promised to keep the reader interested right up to the last page. So far, she says she hasn't run out of new book ideas.

Download or read book Dancing Like There s No Tomorrow written by Nancy E. Hussey and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-12-22 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nancy Hussey never planned to author a book until she discovered her daughter's many teen diaries which were disguised as school notebooks clearly not intended to read by Mom! But Mom soon became engrossed in the unknown and intimate details of Sara's first love and a teen melodrama that she knew would keep readers guessing. She also believed that Sara's optimism and ability to live her joyful moments to the fullest would be an inspiration for all adolescents and young adults striving to reach their dreams. Twenty years of writing about her clients gave Nancy the courage to write about her own daughter's battle for her life; she left Sara to share the affairs of her own heart. The author's narration (including humorous reactions to Sara's teen angst) also interweaves the threads of everyone's hopes and fears for Sara as they struggle again and again to deny the specter of her death.
