Download or read book Laela and the Moonline written by Lisa Perskie Rodriguez and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2022-02-25 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Surprises unfold in the predictable. . . . You can never fully foresee the foreseen.” Long ago, the four tribes of Aerizon lived as one people, but the time of unity has passed. Now, three of the tribes collectively called the Treedles inhabit the forest canopy. The fourth tribe, the Mergons, live on the ground and pose a constant threat to the Treedles. Laela is a young Treedlegirl coming of age in the treetop realm of Aerizon. Her destiny, as yet unrevealed, will cast her in the role of catalyst for epic change. Laela grows increasingly restless with the cultural limits and expectations for young Treedle women. In her quest to understand and express her authentic self, she faces soul-transforming psychological and physical tests. Unlike Treedle women before her, she pushes back against traditional gender and cultural boundaries. Propelled by mysterious forces, she ventures into the forest and onto the lands below, breaking ground for a new era. As she evolves spiritually, Laela faces mental challenges, redefining her perception of the impact one person can have on the world. Finally, she gains the courage to raise her voice in defense of herself and her people. Seekers of truth and justice will relate to how Laela grapples with the challenge of finding her guiding values. Book Review: “A teenager seeks adventure and transcendence in this YA fantasy debut. Laela is a Treedle who lives in the elevated canopy world of Aerizon. She's about to transition from girlhood to womanhood, and in the Pyuva clan, that means a life focused on the home and child rearing. But Laela yearns to continue hunting and exploring the wider realm, activities reserved for boys and men. Complicating her feelings is an attraction to her handsome and popular Pyuva classmate Vito. . . . Perskie delivers a lushly crafted tale that embraces the chosen one trope in unexpected ways. Laela will earn her place in readers' hearts with her relatable bristling at Treedle conformity. . . . The details about Treedle culture—including Laela's stay in the Enclosure during her transition—make the hero's transgressions later in the narrative all the more astonishing. . . .” — Kirkus Reviews

Download or read book Gallstones written by G. Adler and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004-08-17 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, the proceedings of the Falk Syposium No. 139 on "Gallstones: Pathogenesis and Treatment", held in Freiburg, Germany, on January 15-16, 2004, reflects the tremendous advances in the field of biliary diseases both at the genetic and cellular as well as the clinical levels. In industrialized countries, gallstones are a frequent clinical entity with a prevalence of 10-15%. In clinical practice one can differentiate between cholesterol stones, black pigment stones and brown pigment stones. 80-90% of gallbladder stones are cholesterol stones, 10--20% are black pigment stones. The prevalence of cholesterol stones increases with age and in Europe in the 70+ age group reaches about 20% in males and about 30% in females. Gallstones and gallstone diseases, therefore, are a frequent and important clinical problem. The book addresses the basic aspects of gallstone pathogenesis as well as the non-surgical and surgical treatment of gallstone diseases. Of particular interest are the epidemiology and genetics of gallstone formation, with definition of risk factors, in particular of genetic predispositions. Other major aspects are the hepatocellular and bilary transport mechanisms that predispose to the formation of gallstones. Apart from cholesterol and lipid transport and absorption, gallbladder function plays a central role in gallstone formation. Another clinically very relevant topic is the treatment of gallstone diseases by drugs, endoscopic and other non-surgical interventions, and surgery, as well as the long-term outcome of therapeutic interventions. The volume concludes with a state-of-the-art chapter on "Gallstone Research in the Post-Genomic Era". Gallstones: Pathogenesis and Treatment is an excellent update on the pathogenesis of gallstones as well as on the treatment of gallstone diseases, written by an international faculty of outstanding clinicans and scientists. The book will, therefore, be of great interest to hepatologists and gastroenterologists in academic institutions as well as in clinical practice.

Download or read book Our Ending Conquest written by Richard John Kosciejew and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-09-21 with total page 1562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early hominids made stone artifacts either by smashing rocks between a hammer and anvil (known as the bipolar technique) to produce usable pieces or through the regulating and directly controlled process as termed flaking, in which stone chips were fractured away from a larger rock striking it with a hammer of stone or other hard material. Subsequently, during the lingering existence of, say, ten thousand years, the diversity in techniques for producing masonry artifacts—including pecking, grinding, sawing, and boring—became additionally familiar. The best rocks for flaking tended to be hard, fine-grained, or amorphous (having no crystal structure) rocks, including lava, obsidian, ignimbrites, flint, chert, quartz, silicified limestone, quartzite, and indurated shale. Ground-stone tools could be made on a wider range of raw material types, including coarser grained rock such as granite.

Download or read book Our Place in the Universe II written by Sun Kwok and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting from Newton’s times this follow-up to the author’s Springer book “Our Place in the Universe - Understanding Fundamental Astronomy from Ancient Discoveries” addresses the question of “our place in the Universe” from astronomical, physical, chemical, biological, philosophical and social perspectives. Using the history of astronomy to illustrate the process of discovery, the emphasis is on the description of the process of how we learned and on the exploration of the impacts of discoveries rather than on the presentation of facts. Thus readers are informed of the influence of science on a broad scale. Unlike the traditional way of teaching science, in this book, the author begins by describing the observations and then discusses various attempts to find answers (including unsuccessful ones). The goal is to help students develop a better appreciation of the scientific process and learn from this process to tackle real-life problems.
