Neurochemical Techniques in Insect Research properly emphasizes the insect. It only scratches the surface of the exploding repertoire of general neuro chemical techniques that can be applied to insect research in 1985. But it al so presents the advantages of using insects for studying certain biological questions that are approachable by neurochemical techniques. Even more so, it summarizes the long list of unique problems encountered in attempting to study insects by neurochemical techniques. As in other volumes of this series, the contributors to this volume are the authorities in the field. They themselves have developed much of the material presented. Thus the sum effort provides a true description of the state of the art; and, pleasantly, it does so in a very complete and clear manner. Readers of this series will not need to be reminded that, despite the fact that vertebrates make up only about 3% of all animal species, research in in vertebrates such as insects has lagged behind that on vertebrates, at least in the neurochemistry area; the relative simplicity and large cell size of the in sect nervous system has always provided incentive for work in neurophysiol ogy and neuroanatomy. Toxicology interests will always stimulate a certain amount of work on insect neuropharmacology, and insects are extremely suitable for several areas of toxin research. Last but not least, the insects are beautiful organisms for which the applications of genetics can be made to the study of nervous system function."

We teeter on the edge of an historical economic abyss. News stories bring reports of job losses, foreclosures, and shriveling investments. So many can't make ends meet, fear losing their jobs, and are confounded by our economy's flux. The country's frustration is palatable. So, what do you do?

If you've asked this question, this book will change how you look at our economy and your livelihood. In simple, straightforward language, author Robert Beadles gives guidance on what to do to secure your financial future.

Beadles presents a handful of powerful, and yes, often radical economic ideas. His plans, though, are rooted in a convincing historical context. In plain English, he explains how to convert your shrinking, low-interest investments into solid, no fail assets - gold, silver, and real-estate. Set against the larger context of "the Fed" he explains why and how these vehicles endure inflation and bad economic policies.

The power of this book is in its brevity: Beadle's short answers are backed by viable, alternate strategies that you can easily understand. Yet his small words have big meanings. So if you're confused about what do to, buy this book. What you do thereafter is entirely up to you.
