“Readers who enjoyed The Strain Trilogy, by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan, will find plenty to satisfy them here.”—San Francisco Book Review When the end came, it came quickly. No one knew where or exactly when the Omega Virus started, but soon it was everywhere. And when the ones spreading it can’t die, no one stands a chance of surviving. San Francisco, California. Father Xavier Church has spent his life ministering to unfortunate souls, but he has never witnessed horror like this. After he forsakes his vows in the most heartrending of ways, he watches helplessly as a zombie nun takes a bite out of a fellow priest’s face… University of California, Berkeley. Skye Dennison is moving into her college dorm for the first time, simultaneously excited to be leaving the nest and terrified to be on her own. When her mother and father are eaten alive in front of her, she realizes the terror has just begun… Alameda, California. Angie West made millions off her family’s reality gun show on the History Channel. But after she is cornered by the swarming undead, her knowledge of heavy artillery is called into play like never before… Within weeks, the world is overrun by the walking dead. Only the quick and the smart, the strong and the determined, will survive—for now. EXPANDED BY THE AUTHOR

The practical need to partition the world of viruses into distinguishable, universally agreed upon entities is the ultimate justification for developing a virus classification system. Since 1971, the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) operating on behalf of the world community of virologists has taken on the task of developing a single, universal taxonomic scheme for all viruses infecting animals (vertebrate, invertebrates, and protozoa), plants (higher plants and algae), fungi, bacteria, and archaea. The current report builds on the accumulated taxonomic construction of the eight previous reports dating back to 1971 and records the proceedings of the Committee since publication of the last report in 2005. Representing the work of more than 500 virologists worldwide, this report is the authoritative reference for virus organization, distinction, and structure.

The book Virus and Plant Diseases provides thorough information about virus and vital plant diseases. It covers origin, evolution, phylogeny, history, occurrence, nature, structure, symmetry, reproduction and classification of virus. Major groups of plant pathogenic viruses and plant diseases are also discussed. The book illustrates the information explicit through 41 figures and 21 tables. At the end of the book several references are given for further study. The scope of virology is expanding so rapidly that it is impossible to present all of it in a book which a student new to the field can cover in a single course. We have, therefore, tried to present selected portions of virology in sufficient detail that the student can understand them through reading the book. The primary aim of the text book is to present a succinet account of the essential features of the virus in a form suitable for students. Efforts have been made to include only sound fundamental material to give the begineer a solid foundation for more advanced work on the subject. Emphasis is placed on thee use of chemistry for a clearer understanding of the composition of virusus and the reactions they produce. The book uses up-to-date examples to show how precise hypotheses may be formulated and tested experimentally. Special efforts have been made to explain ideas in non-mathematical terms. The primary aim throughout has been clarity, simplicity and the high standard. The book will definitely prove to be a boon to teachers, students and research workers in the related field. Contents: Introduction, Structure of Virus, Classification of Virus, Plant Viruses, Plant Viral Diseases.

Zachary Mastiff has always been a master of Survival Horror video games. Naturally, he always thought he'd be ready for the Zombie Apocalypse. I mean don't all gamers think the same? But when the undead take over his school, the city, and possibly the entire world, he learns he was dead wrong. Alongside his fellow gamers, and a self-proclaimed, 'Zombie Killer', he must navigate this new world, and learn to contend with more than just those infected with the virus. To save his friends, he must face religious fanatics, a corrupted government, and an entire company of psychopaths that think it's all a game. To survive, a serious lesson must be learned; kill or be killed, pull the trigger or die; and most of all, sacrifices must be made. This. Is. No. Game. This. Is. No. Game.

Nanotechnology is a collective term describing a broad range of relatively novel topics. Scale is the main unifying theme, with nanotechnology being concerned with matter on the nanometer scale. A quintessential tenet of nanotechnology is the precise self-assembly of nanometer-sized components into ordered devices. Nanotechnology seeks to mimic what nature has achieved, with precision at the nanometer level down to the atomic level. Nanobiotechnology, a division of nanotechnology, involves the exploitation of biomaterials, devices or methodologies in the nanoscale. In recent years a set of b- molecules has been studied and utilized. Virus particles are natural nanomaterials and have recently received attention for their tremendous potential in this field. The extensive study of viruses as pathogens has yielded detailed knowledge about their biological, genetic, and physical properties. Bacterial viruses (bacte- ophages), plant and animal eukaryotic viruses, and viruses of archaea have all been characterized in this manner. The knowledge of their replicative cycles allows manipulation and tailoring of particles, relying on the principles of self-assembly in infected hosts to build the base materials. The atomic resolution of the virion structure reveals ways in which to tailor particles for higher-order functions and assemblies.

DescriptionWidow's Peak is the first of three short stories which deal with the delusions of a madman made real with science. Though Widow's Peak is pure science fiction it does, to some extent, document the author's own journey. In this book Andrew Roberts looks at telepathy and ways of making it workable. Note most mental illnesses operate on this premise. This is an interesting and engaging perspective on science fiction, as bought to you by a recovering schizophrenic. A thoroughly enjoyable read.About the AuthorAndrew Roberts was born in England and, with a strong religious up-bringing, attended a Methodist Church up to the age of 16. Andrew turned back to God eight years later when he developed mild schizophrenia as he completed his degree in psychology. For Andrew, schizophrenia was very much a journey into madness with a spiritual edge. He undertook a course in Mental Health Nursing and now works with people with similar problems to his own. The three stories in this book are his first attempt at writing fiction. He is also working on a new approach to beating the voices.

This book contemplates the structure, dynamics and physics of virus particles: From the moment they come into existence by self-assembly from viral components produced in the infected cell, through their extracellular stage, until they recognise and infect a new host cell and cease to exist by losing their physical integrity to start a new infectious cycle. (Bio)physical techniques used to study the structure of virus particles and components, and some applications of structure-based studies of viruses are also contemplated. This book is aimed first at M.Sc. students, Ph.D. students and postdoctoral researchers with a university degree in biology, chemistry, physics or related scientific disciplines who share an interest or are actually working on viruses. We have aimed also at providing an updated account of many important concepts, techniques, studies and applications in structural and physical virology for established scientists working on viruses, irrespective of their physical, chemical or biological background and their field of expertise. We have not attempted to provide a collection of for-experts-only reviews focused mainly on the latest research in specific topics; we have not generally assumed that the reader knows all of the jargon and all but the most recent and advanced results in each topic dealt with in this book. In short, we have attempted to write a book basic enough to be useful to M.Sc and Ph.D. students, as well as advanced and current enough to be useful to senior scientists with an interest in Structural and/or Physical Virology.
