Burton Toys
The products of Burton Toys may have been designed for children, but it was the childish adults producing them that made it a special place. It was an environment where educated men could debate the physics behind a Wile E. Coyote cartoon. It was a place where a woman with years of training in literature could celebrate the works of Dr. Seuss and be taken seriously. Burton Toys was the place that all children envisioned working as an adult, and the place where working adults could act like a child. Burton Toys is an awkward mishmash of heartfelt sincerity and absurd comedy that blends together for a unique reading experience. In the grand tradition of American writing that leans more on imagination than talent, Burton Toys is simply a lot of fun. Little more, but nothing less.

Medicine, astronomy, dealing with numbers ‐ even the cultures of the “pre-modern” world offer a rich spectrum of scientific texts. But how are they best translated? Is it sufficient to translate the sources into modern scientific language, and thereby, above all, to identify their deficits? Or would it be better to adopt the perspective of the sources themselves, strange as they are, only for them not to be properly understood by modern readers? Renowned representatives of various disciplines and traditions present a controversial and constructive discussion of these problems.
Evil and the Devil
The problem of evil has preoccupied world religions for centuries. The Old Testament contained no uniform dogma on evil powers, launching a fierce debate that has dominated theological and philosophical thought through the centuries to this day.

What role did evil adopt in ancient Judaism? What impact did the association of miracles with demons have upon Matthew's Gospel? Evil and the Devil examines such questions, resulting in a fascinating and comprehensive exploration of portrayals of evil and its power and influence on religious thought.
Nicotine and Related Alkaloids
Nicotine is an alkaloid which is present, together with a number of minor alkaloids, in tobacco and a wide variety of other plants. The introduction of tobacco as a therapeutic agent against diverse pathologi cal and physiological conditions resulted in the widespread exposure of people to nicotine, and the subsequent recognition of the pleasurable effects of tobacco consumption. Tobacco may be used for pleasure by smoking it in pipes, cigars or cigarettes or by taking it in unsmoked form as oral and nasal tobacco snuff. Nonsmokers are exposed to nico tine through plant material and side-stream tobacco smoke. This means that in humans nicotine is always utilized in the presence of a very lar...
