This book provides an up-to-date review of the subject, with
coverage including the physiology of bacteria, yeasts and molds
associated with meat and poultry products; the microbiology of
industrial slaughtering, processing, packaging and storage
technologies; food safety and quality control. It will be an
invaluable reference source for microbiologists and technologists
in the meat industry, research workers in private and government
laboratories, and for food scientists in academic research
institutions.
All the works of the Chinese poet T'ao Yuan-ming (AD 365 427)
generally considered genuine have been translated here with
commentary and annotation. T'ao, in the author's opinion, is of all
the major Chinese poets especially concerned with personal
integrity and the meaning of man's life. His poetry for this reason
may be able to transcend the barriers of cultural difference. For
centuries of Chinese readers, however, the image of T'ao Yuan-ming
as an eccentric wine-loving recluse who embraced purity and
simplicity and rejected the corruption of political society has
virtually been as important as his own writing. Studies of the
poet, from the Sung dynasty on, have applied a political
interpretation of his work. The author believes that this approach
is generally mistaken and seeks to combat it in detail. The work
has been arranged in two volumes. The first, containing the
translations with explanatory commentary and notes, is aimed at a
wider audience than the professional. The second contains a
complete Chinese text.

The first three chapters of Vol. 3 of Bio-organic Marine Chemistry
deal with the chemistry and function of peptides. Chapter 1 by
Ireland and coworkers serves as an introduction to marine-derived
peptides. It is arranged phyletically and encompasses the entire
range from dipeptides to a compound with 95 amino acid residues.
Peptides involved in primary metabolism and hence belonging to the
realm of macromolecular biochemistry are excluded. However, it
might be mentioned in passing that the dividing line between large
and small molecule chemistry is continually becoming less distinct.
Not only are more compounds of intermediate size, from 1,000 to
10,000 dalton, being discovered, but instruments and techniques,
particularly in mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance
have been developed for their structural elucidation by what is
considered small molecule methodology. Two groups of peptides are
discussed in separate chapters. Biologists who have observed and
described the mating behavior of diverse species of marine
invertebrates have long surmised that a chemical mechanism might be
operating in many cases of individual as well as mass
fertilization. The chemical activators of sea urchin sperm prove to
be a series of peptides, whose structures and activity are
discussed by Suzuki.
From Jeremy A.R Davis, and J-Afrikah Publishing Co. comes Musings:
collection of verse. This short collection captivates the poetic
senses and intrigues and inspires the reader into viewing life
through the Poet's softness. It is a fantastic read for a quiet
evening in, or an ideal choice for a moment of introspection during
those longs drives through the country.
Painting from the Heart is a classic Caribbean novelette with all
the novelties of a fresh, 21st century, piece of Caribbean
literature. It is about an artist's desperate search for love and
his seeming inability to find it. This book seeks to examine the
place of the Caribbean man, and debates the theme the 'Afro
Caribbean' identity.
First published by Macmillian in 1964, this volume is designed to
introduce students to a wider range of Latin poetry than they would
encounter in a simple author prescription. The first century BC is
represented by Lucretius and Catullus, the Augustan era by Virgil,
Horace and Ovid, and the Silver age by Juvenal and Martial.
Passages are chosen for their own intrinsic interest - Ovid on
Romulus and Remus, Juvenal on the dangers of Rome at night, the
sheild of Aeneas from Virgil Aeneid VIII; they cover a wide variety
of genres and styles - both Satires and Odes of Horace, elegiacs
from the Fasti and hexameters from the Metamorphoses of Ovid. There
are extensive notes on language and content, an introduction on
metre and a full vocabulary.
