CAAM Covert American Australian Mission American Trent Davis is a Vietnam vet and retired policeman, now operating his own security firm. He deals in the 'bad people' business and thinks that the pendulum has swung too far in their favour. That the bad bastards, that the law are helpless against, are flaunting their power with no remorse. He is going do something about that. Paul J Gent Jnr is a Manhattan billionaire who will back Davis's play. A chance meeting with a brash Australian gives rise to opportunity--to bring an assault team to Australia to fine-tune their skills before launching attacks in the States. Tom Roach is a meek and mild travelling salesman--his family killed by a drug-dealer fleeing a police chase ten years previous. Roach has been found and headhunted and seemingly dies to become a chameleon--a ghost to provide surveillance for the hit team, their mission: shoot four bad bastards in Australia as a forerunner to bigger scale missions in the USA. Roach needs to decide--is he now a murderer and or a vigilante, or is he a social corrector? Will he stay and play 'rich man's justice'?

This comprehensive account of the human herpesviruses provides an encyclopedic overview of their basic virology and clinical manifestations. This group of viruses includes human simplex type 1 and 2, Epstein–Barr virus, Kaposi's Sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, cytomegalovirus, HHV6A, 6B and 7, and varicella-zoster virus. The viral diseases and cancers they cause are significant and often recurrent. Their prevalence in the developed world accounts for a major burden of disease, and as a result there is a great deal of research into the pathophysiology of infection and immunobiology. Another important area covered within this volume concerns antiviral therapy and the development of vaccines. All these aspects are covered in depth, both scientifically and in terms of clinical guidelines for patient care. The text is illustrated generously throughout and is fully referenced to the latest research and developments.
Animal Welfare in a Pandemic explores the impact of COVID-19 on a wide array of animals, from those in the wild to companion and captive animals. During the height of the pandemic, a range of animals were infected, and many died, but this was hard to predict, even using up-to-date bioinformatics. Lockdowns around the world had, and continue to have, a major effect on animals’ welfare, influencing pet ownership and care, as well as impacting on the work of conservation institutes due to the lack of visitors and funding and lack of tourist presence in the wild which impacted on anti-poaching efforts. Some of the vast amount of personal protection equipment (PPE) that was distributed was disc...

A groundbreaking exhibition catalogue of Native, First Nations, Metis, and Inuit photography from the nineteenth century to the present day Photographs of and by Native people have long been exhibited in museums. All too often, however, such exhibitions have misrepresented vital cultural and historical contexts, neglecting the depth of practice, supporting scholarship, and Native perspectives relevant to the work. By developing a broadly representative curatorial council of prominent academics and artists, more than half of whom represent Native communities in the United States and Canada, this book significantly expands the traditional discourses of photographic history. With incisive contr...
