Handbook of Clinical Toxicology of Animal Venoms and Poisons
The Handbook of Clinical Toxicology of Animal Venoms is the first concise, one-volume book devoted to this important subject. The editors are internationally recognized authorities in the biology and clinical aspects of venomous and poisonous animals, and the chapter authors are world leaders in their respective fields of toxicology. All aspects of the topic are covered including information on the biology and taxonomy of poisonous animals, their venom or poison, diagnosis, and general treatment principles and specific treatment. The most up-to-date list of available antivenoms is provided. Coverage of venomous and poisonous animals is comprehensive, with thorough discussions on shellfish po...
Neurotox ’91
NEUROTOX '91 was the fourth meeting in a series which started in 1979. The '91 meeting, like its predecessors, was held under the patronage of the Society of Chemical Industry, and despite the unfortunate proximity of hostilities in the Arabian Gulf attracted a truly international mix of industrial and academic pesticide scientists. This volume contains the text of invited papers read at the meeting and presents the dramatic developments which so excited those who attended. The potential of molecular neurobiology for gaining knowledge of target sites for neurotoxicants is now starting to be realised. These studies, in conjunction with developments in molecular imaging and modelling, provide ...
Science Scramble
Have you ever wondered how cats manage to land on their feet after a fall? Or why you’ll never find two snowflakes in nature that are exactly the same? Or why humans need to sleep in order to survive? If you answered “yes” to any of those questions, then Science Scramble is certainly the book for you. Actually, even if you answered “no” to all of them, you’re likely to find something in here that’s weird and wonderful enough to grab your attention. After all, this illustrated book contains more than 200 fun facts, surprising stories, and mythbusters, all related to science. Read about the incredibly tough tardigrade, the fastest-rotating planet, the unique eyes of the Philippine eagle, the animal with the shortest name, and more. Indulge your curiosity and enrich your mind by picking up this collection of amazing tales and spectacular trivia from the world of science. (Just don’t read this before bedtime, because you won’t be able to put this book down!)
Accessing Biodiversity and Sharing the Benefits
The book aims to address the lack of information on the experiences of others by providing a comparative analysis of national access and benefit-sharing laws and policies in the 41 Pacific Rim countries that signed the CBD. It provides key insights on the main characteristics of selected access and benefit-sharing (ABS) policies and laws, their development, and implementation process. It contains a detailed comparative analysis of existing laws and policies. It presents four case studies of countries with regulations in place and contrasts them with four case studies of countries that are struggling to develop their regulations. It ends by discussing options of an international regime on ABS and a summary analysis of the main lessons and recommendations from the study.

Handbook of Natural Toxins
This resource discusses all aspects of food poisoning and its sources such as bacteria, plant, and fungus - presenting the pathogens and food toxins in detail.;Featuring contributions from over 30 leading authorities in the field, Food Poisoning ...: describes bacterial food contaminants including staphylococcal, salmonellae, E. coli, Clostridium perfringens, Bacillus cereus, cholera, and botulism; covers the prevention and treatment of mushroom and other poisonings from grains and plant-type foods; explains how to aid allergic reactions resulting from eating certain foods; identifies which kinds of seafood may cause severe poisoning; explores teratogenic aspects of food poisoning, outlining which foods pregnant women should avoid; and shows how those sensitive to nitrosamines can avoid such food poisoning.;Extensively referenced with more than 2200 literature citations, Volume 7: Food Poisoning serves as essential reading for toxicologists, microbiologists, dietitians and nutritionists, public health officials, food scientists and technologists, agricultural chemists and biochemists, bacteriologists, and graduate-level students in food science and toxicology.
Animal Toxins
This manual surveys toxins from insects, spiders, mollusks, fish, and snakes which have biotechnological applications. It reviews aspects of toxin origin, their molecular mechanism, and their cellular and pathogenic effects. It also provides methodology for the application of these toxins in the research laboratory. This includes a description of the extraction methods, biochemical characterization, and applications in pharmacological studies.
