FOOD, ECOLOGY AND CULTURE: Readings in the Anthropology of Dietary Practices (Food, Ecology & Culture)

Customer Reviews:

Great read.......2000-12-13

This is an excellent guide to whale watching in the northern hemisphere (pity it does not cover the southern though). It has all the information one would need to plan an excellent nature (read. whale and dolphin watching) getaway and has some interesting introductions. I have read and reread this book several times due to its style of writing (there are several authors penning different chapters, each with their own unique style). Helps you to picture the whale watching spots in your head. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in going for whale watching excursions in the nothern hemisphere!

Freedom to laugh (or at least relax) in Christ.......2006-03-13

This book is best understood if you read the first book of the series "Speaker aged ... (thirty something and three quarters)" first. The people who love these books the most are those who have had to face the VERY HARD struggles of life and have not given up on their faith in God (the Father of Jesus Christ). Adrian helps us laugh at the "silly" things that Christians and churches and denominations etc do. However he doesn't go too far. His writing helps you realise that God is nice (kind) and really does love you. Non believers often enjoyed these books too. My teenage children loved them all, especially about Leonard. They are the books I give away most after Amy Carmichael's "If", and Oswald Chamber's "MUFHH".

Book Description

Advances in Molecular Toxicology features the latest advances in all of the subspecialties of the broad area of molecular toxicology. Toxicology is the study of poisons and this series details the study of the molecular basis by which a vast array of agents encountered in the human environment and produced by the human body itself manifest themselves as toxins. Not strictly limited to documenting these examples the series is also concerned with the complex web of chemical and biological events that give rise to toxin-induced symptoms and disease. The new technologies that are being harnessed to analyze and understand these events will also be reviewed by leading workers in the field.

Advances in Molecular Toxicology will report progress in all aspects of these rapidly evolving molecular aspects of toxicology with a view toward detailed elucidation of both progress on the molecular level and on advances in technological approaches employed.

* Cutting edge reviews by leading workers in the discipline.
* In depth dissection of molecular aspects of interest to a broad range of scientists, physisicans and any student in the allied disciplines.
* Leading edge applications of technological innovations in the chemistry, biochemistry and molecular medicine.

Book Description

A great deal of progress has been made in defining GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) transmission in the brain. Volume 54 of the Advances in Pharmacology series has also provided new insights into fundamental features of neurotransmission in general, such as the importance of allosterism and coincident signaling in regulating receptor function and overall cellular activity. These studies have led to the design and development of new drugs and potential therapeutic agents.

Given the successes achieved over the first 50 years of GABA research, it is certain the 6th decade will yield its share of surprising discoveries and new insights. Published in this volume are articles providing thoughts and perspectives on this topic, some with the benefit of hindsight, others in the context of recent findings, but all with a hint, or prediction, of what the future holds as the secrets of GABA neurotransmission continue to unfold.

Advances in Pharmacology is available online on ScienceDirect full-text online of volumes 48 onwards.

*GABA is an amino acid found in mammalian brain
*Articles written by leading investigators in the field
*Provides new insights into fundamental features of neurotransmission

Wake-up Call.......2000-11-03

I first encountered this book after college graduation. I was living in Ireland at the time, and the Green Party is huge there. This book challenged every preconception I held about my home country of the US as well as the true meaning of "feminism". It also renewed my faith in the power of people to innovate and change. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in Green ideology or in daring to take an honest look at ourselves as Americans.
