Seymour, a shy young man working for a tyrannical florist, finds a vehicle for private and public success in the form of a maneating plant from outer space. The carniverous shrub helps him to become a celebrity, gets rid of his boss and clears the way for him to woo the girl of his dreams. However, its cannibalistic eating habits become insatiable and it's up to Seymour to cut it down to size. This comedy musical is based on the stage version of the cult movie, and features a memorable cameo performance from Steve Martin as a sadistic dentist.

Anthony Newley stars in this camp 1970s comedy as struggling playwright Sweeney, who is still in lust with his ex-wife Georgina (Stefanie Powers) despite her remarriage to wealthy construction boss Prince (Henry Ramer). In order to win back Georgina's favours, Sweeney embarks on an elaborate series of schemes and scams, from stinging his artist friend Moriarty (Isaac Hayes) for drinks and cash to a fake kidnapping plot that brings inept cops Broom and Kopek (John Candy and Lawrence Dane) bumbling after him.

This is a classic reprint of - THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS OF THE CHOCTAW NATION, originally published in 1840.

There has been a considerable upsurge in interest in insect bio chemistry and physiology in recent years and this has been reflected in a notable expansion in the number of original papers in this field. Whereas insect physiology has tended to receive ample attention from reviewers, the same has not always been true for the more of insect research. This book is a venture to help biochemical aspects redress the balance. No attempt has been made to cover all aspects of insect biochemistry, but rather a few topics have been selected which seemed to us to merit a review at the present time. One reason for this increased interest in insect biochemistry is perhaps the growing realization that insects can be very useful organisms to act as model systems for the experimental study of general biochemical principles. One remembers, for instance, that Keilin's perceptive observations on the flight muscles of living bees and wax moths led to his discovery of the cytochromes. The fundamental unity of biochemistry has long been accepted as a dogma by the faithful and the insect kingdom provides no exception to it. The main biochemical processes in insects are being revealed as essentially the same as in other life forms but, as so often found in comparative biochemistry, there are interesting variations on the central theme.
