Coming Into Contact by Annie Merrill Ingram Pdf

A snapshot of ecocriticism in action, Coming into Contact collects sixteen previously unpublished essays that explore some of the most promising new directions in the study of literature and the environment. They look to previously unexamined or underexamined aspects of literature's relationship to the environment, including swamps, internment camps, Asian American environments, the urbanized Northeast, and lynching sites. The authors relate environmental discourse to practice, including the teaching of green design in composition classes, the restoration of damaged landscapes, the persuasive strategies of environmental activists, the practice of urban architecture, and the impact of human technologies on nature. The essays also put ecocriticism into greater contact with the natural sciences, including elements of evolutionary biology, biological taxonomy, and geology. Engaging both ecocritical theory and practice, these authors more closely align ecocriticism with the physical environment, with the wide range of texts and cultural practices that concern it, and with the growing scholarly conversation that surrounds this concern.

Listeria by Chris Bell,Alex Kyriakides Pdf

The independent investigations some 70 years ago by E. G. D. Murray and colleagues in Cambridge (UK) and J,H. H. Pirie in Johannesburg (South Mrica) resulted in the first detailed descriptions of listeriosis (in both instances in small animals), together with the isolation and naming of Lis teria monocytogenes. These descriptions in 1926 and 1927 show the pre cision and care of these experimentalists, for not only did they show much skill and attention to detail but also great insight in surmising that the consumption of contaminated food was associated with the trans mission of listeriosis. In the words of Pirie in 1927, 'Infection can be pro duced by subcutaneous inoculation or by feeding and it is thought that it is by feeding that the disease is spread in nature. ' These observations were largely forgotten and listeriosis was regarded as a rather obscure disease of animals and occasionally humans. However, the 1980s saw dramatic changes and the 'elevation' of Listeria to a topic of concern not only amongst microbiologists (particularly food micro biologists) but also the general public.

The Coming of Ecaot by Rudy Medina Pdf

The contents of this book are all based on the true story of an experience that happened to two ordinary people, a story that truly seems unbelievable. It is a story of two people who met in midlife, fell in love, and got married. Now all this seems to be pretty ordinary, but in this case, their coming together was anything but ordinary. The beginning of this marriage triggered a most unusual eventan event that changed their beliefs and lives forever. This is a story of a person whose door to the next dimension was involuntarily opened just as she was about to be married. This event not only caused her to come into contact with a great spiritual entity but also transformed her into a great medium who could contact spiritual entities who had passed from this earth into another existence. These spiritual entities could contact her with a clarity that defies explanation. The opening of this psychic door was not done by accident but had a very deliberate purpose. This purpose came with a warning and at the same time came with a call for help.
