After helping a defenseless June bug escape a hornet's sting, he wakes to find himself the size of a flea - and under attack by a wolf spider and her pack of spiderlings. Luckily for Tucker, a ladybug comes to his aid before the arachnids make an unhappy meal out of him. But it turns out luck has nothing to do with his rescue - more like Lux, a Cerulean girl and pilot of Spot, a miniature aircraft disguised as a ladybug. The aviator was ordered to find the newly shrunken boy by Captain Corvus, the daring Saurian leader of the insect airship Viridis - the very June bug Tucker saved from the angry hornet, only to be stung himself. Thanks to the Viridis crew, Tucker learns that hornet - a disguised Stingership - was armed with Odax, and the effects of the unearthly element sucked him into a hidden world on the brink of battle. Join Tucker Duncan in his new little life, where even going out for pizza can be a dangerous adventure of epic proportions.

Download or read book ReAction written by Mark A. Griep and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-08-12 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ReAction! gives a scientist's and artist's response to the dark and bright sides of chemistry found in 140 films, most of them contemporary Hollywood feature films but also a few documentaries, shorts, silents, and international films. Even though there are some examples of screen chemistry between the actors and of behind-the-scenes special effects, this book is really about the chemistry when it is part of the narrative. It is about the dualities of Dr. Jekyll vs. inventor chemists, the invisible man vs. forensic chemists, chemical weapons vs. classroom chemistry, chemical companies that knowingly pollute the environment vs. altruistic research chemists trying to make the world a better place to live, and, finally, about people who choose to experiment with mind-altering drugs vs. the drug discovery process. Little did Jekyll know when he brought the Hyde formula to his lips that his personality split would provide the central metaphor that would come to describe chemistry in the movies. This book explores the two movie faces of this supposedly neutral science. Watching films with chemical eyes, Dr. Jekyll is recast as a chemist engaged in psychopharmaceutical research but who becomes addicted to his own formula. He is balanced by the often wacky inventor chemists who make their discoveries by trial-and-error.

Think Sapiens and triple it.' - Julia Hobsbawm, author of Fully Connected _______________________________ We all have ten types of human in our head. They're the people we become when we face life's most difficult decisions. We want to believe there are things we would always do - or things we never would. But how can we be sure?

Download or read book The Pseudo Democrat s Dilemma written by Susan D. Hyde and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2011-07-08 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why did election monitoring become an international norm? Why do pseudo-democrats—undemocratic leaders who present themselves as democratic—invite international observers, even when they are likely to be caught manipulating elections? Is election observation an effective tool of democracy promotion, or is it simply a way to legitimize electoral autocracies? In The Pseudo-Democrat's Dilemma, Susan D. Hyde explains international election monitoring with a new theory of international norm formation. Hyde argues that election observation was initiated by states seeking international support. International benefits tied to democracy give some governments an incentive to signal their commitment to democratization without having to give up power. Invitations to nonpartisan foreigners to monitor elections, and avoiding their criticism, became a widely recognized and imitated signal of a government's purported commitment to democratic elections.Hyde draws on cross-national data on the global spread of election observation between 1960 and 2006, detailed descriptions of the characteristics of countries that do and do not invite observers, and evidence of three ways that election monitoring is costly to pseudo-democrats: micro-level experimental tests from elections in Armenia and Indonesia showing that observers can deter election-day fraud and otherwise improve the quality of elections; illustrative cases demonstrating that international benefits are contingent on democracy in countries like Haiti, Peru, Togo, and Zimbabwe; and qualitative evidence documenting the escalating game of strategic manipulation among pseudo-democrats, international monitors, and pro-democracy forces.
