Book excerpt: Morning Light is a romance that begins in the year 1950, when Ian and Leah, two young children and neighbors in the west coast village of Belmullet, Ireland attend the grand wedding of Ian’s older sister. Their childhood romance matures into a lasting and passionate bond as they experience the festivals, teen apprenticeships and the native beauty of their coastal village. Ian learns the skills of a locksmith working in the village hardware store and Leah tends flowers with her mother in the florist section of the village market. Ian journeys off to America before his twentieth birthday, taking little money and vast ambition, energy and love for his sweetheart in Ireland. He finds a way to buy a small locksmith shop in Norwood, Bronx, to bring Leah to the New World and to start a hardware store business. Leah opens a florist shop in the building beside him. Like the Botanical Gardens nearby, their marriage is filled with seasonal change; children, work, the struggle to overcome tragedy and to nurture rich possibilities for everlasting color and beauty.

Book excerpt: Biomedical Aspects of Botulism contains the proceedings of an International Conference on the Biomedical Aspects of Botulism, held at Fort Detrick, Frederick, Maryland on March 16-18, 1981. Organized into eight parts, this book begins with a discussion on the structure, structure-function relationships, and oral toxicities of the various botulinal toxins. Subsequent chapters focus on the cellular and subcellular effects of this toxin; a model to account for toxin-induced blockage of transmitter release; and approaches for dealing with and utilizing the botulinal toxins. Some chapters discuss the involvement of specific bacteriophages in the toxigenicity of Clostridium botulinum, types C and D; properties and qualitative aspects of tetanus and botulinal toxins; and human and animal botulism, including infant botulism and shaker foal syndrome. Selected aspects of the development of toxoids, an insight into the anticipated development of bacterial products, and the epidemiologic characteristics of botulism in the United States are also presented. The book ends with the trends in the therapy of botulism. This volume will serve as a valuable reference to those in the fields of bacteriology, biochemistry, immunology, neurophysiology, pathology, pharmacology, and toxinology. This book will also be helpful both to physicians and veterinarians who need a single source on the biomedical aspects of botulism.
