Two thousand years of history as witnessed by one man? The Arcworld kicks off with the story of Titus and his attempt to discover not only his elusive past but to survive long enough to learn his purpose. From ancient Rome through the rise and fall of empires and the terror of the enlightenment, Titus witnesses the worst of human history while doing his best to avoid altering its course. Join him and his companions, and their indomitable spirits, on their trek towards eternity and an unknown event that is promised to alter the course of humankind. What would you do if you could live two-thousand years? Would you meet your idols? Would you become a dictator? And, if you could choose who could live those years with you, who would you choose? What if the fate of the entire world was at stake? Would you then choose differently? Book One in the series builds the Arcworld in which 7,500 years of human history are chronicled. From ancient Rome to distant solar systems, follow the adventures of the inhabitants of Earth as they escape their humble beginnings and reach out to the stars.

Boxing historians discuss the socioeconomic and demographic changes that have affected the quality, prominence and popularity of the sport over the past century.

The strengths and weaknesses of today's superstars are analyzed and compared to those of such past greats as Joe Louis, Sugar Ray Robinson, Jack Dempsey and Jake LaMotta.
The Salmonella/microsome assay is widely used in the screening of chemicals for mutagenic potential, and by implication, carcinogenic potential. Efforts to improve the sensitivity and reduce the intra- and interlaboratory variability have resulted in the incorporation of several modifications, including a preincubation step, toxicity measurements, elimination of top agar, and variations in cell density. A modified assay, which incorporates these modifications, was developed, and shown to be more sensitive than the standard Ames assay for the demonstration of mutagenesis by benzo(a)pyrene. The contribution of plating density and trace histidine concentrations to the number of spontaneous and ...
