Lost Songs of Nature
"Through in-depth research and an accessible style, the author guides us along the paths of bioacoustics, a field that is increasingly studied, but which finds its first literary expression here in Quebec. Just like in his best-selling book Paroles d'un bouleau jaune, Michel Leboeuf makes us aware of the power of Nature and its deep connection with humans." -- Vivre à la campagneThis is an invitation to listen, to discover and rediscover the planet's ecosystems--its forests, marshes, swamps, bogs and shorelines.An unapologetic plea to save nature's symphony. Man-made noise is increasing dramatically, encroaching on even the wildest of natural habitats. Thrushes are falling silent and the ge...

The Alkaloids: Chemistry and Pharmacology
Alkaloids: Chemical and Biological Perspectives
Volume 8 of this series presents four timely reviews on alkaloids: Chapter 1 is a magnificent and monumental review of curare, "a group of dart and/or arrow poisons varying in composition and featuring muscle relaxation as their basic pharmacological action." The fascinating history of curare is recounted, beginning with early encounters by the Spanish Conquistadores through its use as arrow poisons by the forest tribes in hunting and warfare, its chemistry, ethnography, botany and pharmacology. A terminal section of this chapter treats the development of modern muscle relaxants. This chapter thus traces how curare-initially only a crude plant extract-has given rise to the widely used and ve...
Alkaloids: Chemical and Biological Perspectives
Volume 14 of this series presents three interesting reviews of research on alkaloids. Chapter 1, by Paul L. Schiff, Jr., is a monumental effort, presenting a selective, comprehensive tabular review of research on the bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids, with an analysis of the respective alkaloid types. The chapter should serve as a very useful tool for the bench research scientist who is involved in the isolation and elucidation of structures of bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids. Moreover, the data in these tables provides the botanical distribution and occurrence (family, genus, species) of the various classes of these alkaloids. The alkaloids are also categorized by their molecular weights and ...

High-Speed Rail and Sustainability
High speed rail (HSR) is being touted as a strategic investment for connecting people across regions, while also fostering prosperity and smart urban growth. However, as its popularity increases, its implementation has become contentious with various parties contesting the validity of socioeconomic and environmental objectives put forward as justification for investment. High Speed Rail and Sustainability explores the environmental, economic and social effects of developing a HSR system, presenting new evaluations of the proposed system in California in the US as well as lessons from international experience. Drawing upon the accumulated experience from past HSR system development around the...
