Jervis's Insects as Natural Enemies: Practical Perspectives
There has been a dramatic increase in theoretical and practical studies on insect natural enemies over the last decades. The appeal of insect predators and, in particular, parasitoids, as research animals derives from the relative ease with which many species may be cultured and experimented on in the laboratory, the simple life-cycles of most parasitoid species, and the increasing demand for biological pest control as a key component of the integrated pest management approach. There is now a very substantial literature on insect natural enemies and thus a great need for a general text that enquiring students or research workers can use in deciding on approaches and techniques that are appro...

Family Nibbles - Volume 3
"Family Nibbles - Volume 3, Stories of Our Jarvis English Heritage" is a compilation of stories from the blog site familynibbles.com. These stories include genealogy research on one line of Jarvis/Jervis families in the English Midlands, as well as some historical context and events. Join our journey as we search for an elusive ancestor, Elizabeth Jervis. We believe she's a widow and a Quaker, and left England for Pennsylvania around 1682. How in the world is it possible to find her in England? We get help along the way from a great genealogist and historian. And a DNA match pulls another Jervis family into the story. With this help, we begin to piece together the story of the Jervis families at the confluence of Staffordshire, Shropshire, and Cheshire. We discover some Jervis gentry families in this area, and learn that Jervises were here back in the 13th century. Using our DNA, we learn how our families migrated from Scandinavia. We study Quakers and Quaker meeting records. Piece by piece, our search builds a story of people, hopes and troubles, hardships and charity. In the end we find Elizabeth Jervis, but the journey has been the fun part.
Doctor-Detectives in the Mystery Novel
This is the first book to offer a critical analysis of one variant of the mystery story or novel—the use of a physician as the major detective. There is little difference between a medical “case study” and a mystery story. The book reviews the works of major authors, from R. Austin Freeman, Helen McCloy, Josephine Bell, and H.C. Bailey, to Patricia Cornwell, Kathy Reichs, Aaron Elkins, and Colin Cotterill, with briefer reviews of minor authors. It also addresses historical (fictional) physician detectives, psychological detectives, and physician detective nonfiction. Physicians and health workers are avid readers of detective fiction and will welcome this volume, which addresses their specific interests. Its critical analysis of books that have long been viewed as central to detective fiction will also appeal to fans of the mystery story.
House of the Seventh Cross
A dramatic story of love and intrigue set in the glamorous sun of Majorca. When Rosamund Lowe recovers consciousness after a holiday car-crash, she finds herself in a strange house, and gazed upon by mysterious faces. Kept as a virtual prisoner, and almost forced into marriage against her will, she is confused by the sinister atmosphere that prevailed. And although she meets a destitute singer for whom she conceives a violent passion, it is only when she fully recovers her memory that she is able to piece the puzzle together and find the girl she is being forced to impersonate.
Ecology of Agricultural Pests
Advances in biochemical techniques are revolutionizing the study of invertebrate ecology. Their application to pest problems is generating detailed information on the population genetics of pests, pest-predator relationships and interactions between pests and their environment.
Insects as Natural Enemies
Over the past three decades there has been a dramatic increase in theoretical and practical studies on insect natural enemies. The appeal of insect predators, and parasitoids in particular, as research animals derives from the relative ease with which many species may be cultured and experimented with in the laboratory, the simple life cycles of most parasitoids, and the increasing demand for biological pest control. There is now a massive literature on insect natural enemies, so there is a great need for a general text that the enquiring student or research worker can use in deciding on approaches and techniques that are appropriate to the study and evaluation of such insects. This book ful...
