Book excerpt: New York Public Library Book for the Teenager New York Public Library Book to Remember PSLA Young Adult Top 40 Nonfiction Titles of the Year "Engaging...a lively, informative compendium of facts, theories, and musings."-Michiko Kakutani, New York Times Behold the rat, dirty and disgusting! Robert Sullivan turns the lowly rat into the star of this most perversely intriguing, remarkable, and unexpectedly elegant New York Times bestseller. Love them or loathe them, rats are here to stay-they are city dwellers as much as (or more than) we are, surviving on the effluvia of our society. In Rats, the critically acclaimed bestseller, Robert Sullivan spends a year investigating a rat-infested alley just a few blocks away from Wall Street. Sullivan gets to know not just the beast but its friends and foes: the exterminators, the sanitation workers, the agitators and activists who have played their part in the centuries-old war between human city dweller and wild city rat. Sullivan looks deep into the largely unrecorded history of the city and its masses-its herds-of-rats-like mob. Funny, wise, sometimes disgusting but always compulsively readable, Rats earns its unlikely place alongside the great classics of nature writing. With an all-new Afterword by the author

Download or read book Murder in Rat Alley written by Mark de Castrique and published by Sourcebooks, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-12-31 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this unusual spin on the classic spy novel, murder strikes from our wartime pasts... Iraq War veteran Sam Blackman with his prosthetic leg and his no-nonsense private eye partner Nakayla Robertson love their investigations which always carry a thread from the past—and they love each other. An interracial couple in the new South, the Asheville, NC, pair has surrounded themselves with a terrific support team including an unorthodox lawyer and a veteran cop. They deploy humor both to bind them together and to deflect insults. Plus, it helps deal with the tragedies their work uncovers. Such a tragedy interrupts a meeting between the PIs and the neighboring law office when a body is unearthed from the grounds of the nearby Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute. During the Cold War it monitored developing space programs. Today it plays a vital role gathering weather and climate data. The body has been in the ground a long time. Why would its discovery spark off a new murder in Asheville's mountain music scene, the victim found amid the garbage of dark, dank Rat Alley? She was the fiancée of the man murdered long ago. But surely this case is more than a domestic drama playing out over time.... The Blackman Agency Investigations excel at merging past and present, bringing little-known history to light, and are perfect for fans of James Lee Burke, Stephen Mack Jones, Margaret Maron, and Robert B. Parker.

Book excerpt: A devil walks among us. Neither Satan nor Beelzebub, this is no fallen angel. This is The Rat. It could be any city, any place, any time. It just happens to be here. And now. A serial killer preys on the lonely and the vulnerable. Known only as The Rat, it stalks its victims in the shadows and alleyways of urban decay, selecting them - always female, always vulnerable, always flawed - with care. And it kills in increasingly horrific and inventive ways. When a giant pharmaceutical corporation falls victim to industrial espionage at the same time as a member of its staff, Patsy MaGill, receives chilling and cryptic taunts from The Rat, the company's CEO, Melissa Beecham, becomes convinced the two acts are linked. She enlists the help of Patsy's trusted friend, Saul Benton, and oddball IT guru Cyrus Dilley, to trap The Rat. As the unlikely modern-day musketeers close in on the killer, a dark realisation dawns - the realisation that the answer lies uncomfortably close to home. It may even lie among them. In a mind-blowing, thrilling twist, the hunters become the hunted. 'More breathtaking, jaw-dropping twists' 'Serial killer thriller meets whodunit' 'Spine-chilling finale' 'A destination worth the journey. Stunning climax' 'Do not read alone without paramedics on speed-dial.'

Download or read book Ibogaine written by Geoffrey A. Cordell and published by Gulf Professional Publishing. This book was released on 2001-09-28 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the Proceedings from the First International Conference on Ibogaines, held in November of 1999 at New York University's School of Medicine. In essence, it presents significant new data on neurobiological, clinical, sociocultural, and policy aspects of ibogaine. Ibogaine is a natural product derived from the bark of the root of the African shrub Tabernathe iboga. It has a history of use as a medicinal and ceremonial agent in West Central Africa, and has been alleged to be effective as a treatment for substance dependence. The study of Ibogaine may shed light on the neurobiology of addiction and lead to the development of new medication for the treatment of addiction. Currently, there is lack of formal approval for the use of ibogaine, and the demand of the addicts themselves has led to a distinctive unofficial network which has provided ibogaine treatment in non-medical settings. If critical safety concerns can be adequately addressed, ibogaine may provide an inexpensive and practical treatment approach, well adapted to environments where resources are severely limited and there is pressing need for clinical services for heroin addicts, such as Eastern Europe. This is a paperback edition of Volume 56 of The Alkaloids (ISBN: 0-12-469556-6) edited by Geoffrey A. Cordell, University of Illinois at Chicago, U.S.A.

But while Dallas and Sammy bond, time is running out for humankind: once Sammy sires his progeny, the exponential proliferation of his kind could spell the end of the world.
