Sins of Laria, Book 4 of the Laria Saga (Hardcover) by Daniel Hellmund Pdf

Six years following the Eternal War's caustic end, Laria finds itself with the four races unified under the banner of a new High King. Seeking to prove the Doream legend's authenticity once and for all, the search for the holy Adelpha Epsilian becomes an obsession. Faced with scattered demons, opposing religious cults, and the ever-present, ever-threatening Sions, Doream's decrees affect the entire world as another global war blazes on the horizon. Although not along the lines of ethnicity, the new conflict is founded on religious tension between Doream's young faith and the Sion's old dogmas. To make matters worse, Doream's wife carries the heir to the throne when a strange illness befalls her. Many, including the king's closest allies, wonder if he can balance his personal trials as well as the needs of his people as Laria collapses. All secrets are revealed as the High King confronts his greatest fear; doubt.

The Answer for Laria, Book 3 of the Laria Saga (Hardcover) by Daniel Hellmund Pdf

After being forced to retreat from Yuthor Hall, Doream and his allies spend two years training and preparing for battle in the isolation provided by the Isle of Meris. The Human and Junitsu empires have grown into beastly war machines, and leading them is the dark knight Foresythe, threatening to rain chaos and plagues across Laria if he doesn't find the sacred scrolls. The Merisians and faulty, haphazard rebel groups stand in his way, but none have the power to defeat him, especially since the sorceress Sephoa stands at his side. Hope is nothing but a dim ember, as friends and comrades perish in Foresythe's tyrannical surge for power. To challenge the masked monster, Doream must decide whether or not to take on the mantle of the Doream legend, but the Human seeks more than just the defeat of Foresythe and Sephoa; he seeks the truth behind Laria's long-held mysteries. He discovers the truth, but it is a truth neither he nor the people of Laria can readily believe.

Laria's Shadows, Book 2 of the Laria Saga (Hardcover) by Daniel Hellmund Pdf

Peace claims the Eternal War. The races withhold militant relations, but that doesn't stop King Gorlath from mobilizing the greatest host of knights in known history. Anstin Lorice, a young man living in the north, has been accepted as one of Gorlath's new recruits and has impressed the court so highly that he is granted a bride and a place in the succession of the crown. His friend Doream, a farmer not as skilled as Anstin, yearns for a simple life free of Oilic. Oilic has plagued Laria for nearly two decades, and still there is no cure for the dark legacy Foresythe left. After tragedy strikes, Anstin and Doream are thrust unwillingly into the chaos that lurks in the shadows, and they must forsake their old lives in order to find an escape. Greedy men build Machines against royal decrees, nobles struggle for power, Sion priests deceive their patrons, and secrets and lies become close companions as the frozen war threatens to ignite once more. Unless the hero of prophecy appears, Laria is set to shatter.

James Joyce and the Burden of Disease by Kathleen Ferris Pdf

James Joyce's near blindness, his peculiar gait, and his death from perforated ulcers are commonplace knowledge to most of his readers. But until now, most Joyce scholars have not recognized that these symptoms point to a diagnosis of syphilis. Kathleen Ferris traces Joyce's medical history as described in his correspondence, in the diaries of his brother Stanislaus, and in the memoirs of his acquaintances, to show that many of his symptoms match those of tabes dorsalis, a form of neurosyphilis which, untreated, eventually leads to paralysis. Combining literary analysis and medical detection, Ferris builds a convincing case that this dread disease is the subject of much of Joyce's autobiographical writing. Many of this characters, most notably Stephen Dedalus and Leopold Bloom, exhibit the same symptoms as their creator: stiffness of gait, digestive problems, hallucinations, and impaired vision. Ferris also demonstrates that the themes of sin, guilt, and retribution so prevalent in Joyce's works are almost certainly a consequence of his having contracted venereal disease as a young man while frequenting the brothels of Dublin and Paris. By tracing the images, puns, and metaphors in Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, and by demonstrating their relationship to Joyce's experiences, Ferris shows the extent to which, for Joyce, art did indeed mirror life.

Algae Based Polymers, Blends, and Composites by Khalid Mahmood Zia,Mohammad Zuber,Muhammad Ali Pdf

Algae Based Polymers, Blends, and Composites: Chemistry, Biotechnology and Material Sciences offers considerable detail on the origin of algae, extraction of useful metabolites and major compounds from algal bio-mass, and the production and future prospects of sustainable polymers derived from algae, blends of algae, and algae based composites. Characterization methods and processing techniques for algae-based polymers and composites are discussed in detail, enabling researchers to apply the latest techniques to their own work. The conversion of bio-mass into high value chemicals, energy, and materials has ample financial and ecological importance, particularly in the era of declining petroleum reserves and global warming. Algae are an important source of biomass since they flourish rapidly and can be cultivated almost everywhere. At present the majority of naturally produced algal biomass is an unused resource and normally is left to decompose. Similarly, the use of this enormous underexploited biomass is mainly limited to food consumption and as bio-fertilizer. However, there is an opportunity here for materials scientists to explore its potential as a feedstock for the production of sustainable materials. Provides detailed information on the extraction of useful compounds from algal biomass Highlights the development of a range of polymers, blends, and composites Includes coverage of characterization and processing techniques, enabling research scientists and engineers to apply the information to their own research and development Discusses potential applications and future prospects of algae-based biopolymers, giving the latest insight into the future of these sustainable materials

Pharmaceutical and Bioactive Natural Products by David H. Attaway,Oskar R. Zaborsky Pdf

Biotechnology may be defined as the application of scientific and engineering principles to the processing of materials by biological agents to provide goods and services (Bullet al. , 1982, p. 21) or as any technique that uses living organisms (or parts of organisms) to make or modify products, to improve plants or animals, or to develop microorganisms for specific use (OTC, 1988). In line with these broad definitions we can consider marine biotechnology as the use of marine organisms or their constituents for useful purposes in a controlled fashion. This series will explore a range of scientific advances in support of marine biotechnology. It will provide information on advances in three categories: (1) basic knowledge, (2) ap plied research and development, and (3) commercial and institutional issues. We hope the presentation of the topics will generate interest and interaction among readers in the academic world, government, and industry. This first volume examines chemical and biological properties of some natural products that are useful or potentially useful in research and in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. One chapter describes a system for producing such substances on a large scale. Biotechnology incorporates molecular biology in order to go beyond tradi tional biochemical technology such as the production of antibiotic drugs from bacterial cultures in bioreactors. Development of the technology for production of antibiotics in this way resulted from fundamental advances in chemistry, phar macology, microbiology, and biochemical engineering.
