We as individuals grow from childhood to adulthood to old age and to death. And so it goes for the evolution of humankind. On the planet with the old twin Suns, Samarium, whose inhabitants have long forgotten their planetary origins, and who remain cut off from other colonized planets, humankind faces its twilight years, with genetic mutation impeding evolution, rather than refreshing it. One boy, Anchie Rantree, carries a rare genetic code that has the potential to rejuvenate the gene pool, and pull it back from the brink of viral suffocation. But he does not care to save the human race, or himself, not until he meets the deeply flawed, famously successful, and painfully beautiful literary celebrity, Krisiana, who has herself succumbed to deathly viral infection. ""A five star novel that should be in your library A good science fiction that grips you and entertains you throughout. Really enjoyed it. A thrillingly scary novel.""

Max Dreyssig, human skeleton, sits in the South Australian Museum in its Biodiversity Unit, a bluebird perched on his hand. Max Dreyssig, the man, was born in 1850 in Germany and moved to Australia in 1874. He died in the North Adelaide Private Hospital in 1913, two weeks following surgery at the hand of one of the age's great medical professors, Doctor Archibald Watson. Pulling together what little we know about Max's life, this story examines his relationship with the inimitable Professor Watson and the reasons for him leaving his home in Germany following the Franco-Prussian War, in which he had fought. His was a time when the old world, Germany, became a newly confederated European powerhouse and the new Australian city, Adelaide, led the world in political reform and medical experimentation. Giving pony rides to children along Adelaide foreshores during his final years, Max lived alone but was never lonely. Max Dreyssig, Human Skeleton, the story, finally gives 'ole' Max Dreyssig' a voice - and a heart.

As global oil reserves finally dry up and rising ocean levels flood coastal areas, oil companies continue to deny evidence of global warming and set their sights on off-world sources of carbon fuels. Their target? Jupiter's water-rich moon, Europa. Only one thing stands between Big Oil and Europa's rich energy reserves: the moon may contain life, and the presence of even microorganisms would ban resource harvesting under international space law. A manned mission plans to scout the moon for life and, if none exists, claim it for the United States. But powerful interests have embedded operatives in the crew, with orders to ensure that life on Europa-if it exists-doesn't stand in the way of energy extraction. A glimpse of the upcoming energy crisis and the steps humanity must take to survive its addiction to carbon fuels. ""IndieReader Approved.

EXTRACTABLES AND LEACHABLES Learn to address the safety aspects of packaged drug products and medical devices Pharmaceutical drug products and medical devices are expected to be effective and safe to use. This includes minimizing patient, user or product exposure to impurities leached from these items when the drug product is administered or when the medical device is used. Clearly, patient or user exposure to leachables must not adversely impact their health and safety. Furthermore, these impurities must not adversely affect key quality attributes of the drug product or medical device, including its manufacturability, stability, efficacy, appearance, shelf-life and conformance to standards. Extractables and leachables are derived from the drug product’s packaging, manufacturing systems and/or delivery systems or from the medical device’s materials of construction. It is imperative to understand and quantify the release of extractables from these items, the accumulation of leachables in drug products and the release of leachables from medical devices. Once extractables and leachables have been discovered, identified and quantified, their effect on the key product or device quality attributes, including safety, must be systematically and scientifically established according to recognized, rigorous and relevant regulatory and compendial standards and industry-driven best practices. In Extractables and Leachables, the chemical compatibility (including safe use) of drugs (and their containers, delivery devices and manufacturing systems) and medical devices is examined at length, focusing particularly on how trace-level extractables and leachables affect the quality and safety of a medical product and how to assess the magnitude of the effect. This is accomplished by addressing the two critical activities required to develop, register and commercialize safe, effective and affordable clinical therapies; measuring extractables and leachables (chemical characterization) and assessing their impact (for example, toxicological safety risk assessment). Each of these activities is addressed in-depth, based on the existing and developing international regulations and guidelines, current published literature and the author’s extensive personal experience. Written by a key contributor to standards, guidelines, recommended practices and the scientific literature, the book provides “insider” insights beyond those gained by merely reading the relevant texts. Given that the rapidly evolving extractables and leachables landscape, this book provides the most current and crucial information on new and forthcoming regulations and best practices. Extractables and Leachables readers will also find: A thorough summary of regulatory and compendial guidelines and the steps required to meet them A detailed and in-depth review of essential scientific principles and recommended best practices for the design, implementation, interpretation and reporting of chemical characterization studiesA practical resource for optimizing the development, registration, and commercialization of safe and effective medical productsA helpful tool to maximize product development and successful regulatory outcomes Extractables and Leachables is the essential reference for pharmaceutical scientists, analytical chemists, regulatory affairs professionals, engineers, and toxicologists in areas such as product research and development, product registration and approval, regulatory affairs, analytical science, quality control, and manufacturing.

Meus Insomnium: My Dream - My Nightmare

Meus Insomnium is an ancient Latin phrase meaning either My Dream or My Nightmare, depending on one's perspective. It chronicles the struggles of handsome 49-year-old Ohio psychiatrist Dr. Jonas Reddington and his two most troubled patients: Wesley, 57, an African-American postman who as a child hiding in a Georgia cornfield witnessed the brutal Klan murder of his grandfather; and Jacob, 74, a survivor of Auschwitz concentration camp wrestling with the loss of his sister there many years ago. Soon an unusual relic - a petrified box - enters their lives. Embellished with inscriptions and an enigmatic woodcut, it tantalizes them with its peculiar properties and its sordid past; a past that's taken it from its creation during the Renaissance, through the hands of Adolf Hitler, and finally to Dr. Reddington who decides to utilize it as a therapy tool during his counseling sessions. That fateful decision thrusts him and his wife Katherine on a spiritual quest with startling consequences. Peppered with fascinating historical revelations and photographs, the poignant story raises a soul-searching question: Which carries more weight, justice or forgiveness? Meus Insomnium is an unforgettable journey into the power of the human spirit, faith - and much more. ACCLAIM FOR MEUS INSOMNIUM BY ITS READERS (names used by permission) "I finished your magnum opus earlier this week and congratulate you on a wonderful job and a great, fast, exciting read. I am blown away at the scope of your research and wonder how you were able to concoct such a tale. The pool scene cracked me up so much that my wife called downstairs to ask if I was OK, and the pencil-eating, finger-hungry magic box imagery is amazingly vivid. I'll never think of D rer in the same way. Mazel Tov " Jackie Jacobs, Executive Director, The Columbus Jewish Foundation www.columbusjewishfoundation.org "Last week I attended the American Hungarian Educators Conference in Cleveland and gave a short review of Meus Insomnium which I finished shortly after receiving it. There was much interest in it; members of the association wrote down your name. The organizers would be happy to hear a presentation about where to research all the material for a book like yours. The Educators Conference is held in different universities each year. Twice it was held in Hungary. Your book was easy to read and many of the historical parts are familiar to me. I can attest to the authenticity of the events described. The mystery of the Box never leaves the reader - secrets are always a great read. Overall, I liked your book. The short chapters made it easy to read; the parallel stories kept my interest up and waiting for the next chapter. I'm glad you wrote this book and urge you to keep writing." Dr. B la J. Bogn r, Ph.D., M.S.W., A.C.S.W., L.I.S.W. Professor Emeritus - Wright State University www.americanhungarianfederation.org/news_scholarships.htm "A masterful interweaving of complex events and personae to create a narrative tapestry whose strands are held together and given coherence by the mysterious and sometimes sinister Box. An incredible amount of work went into the careful selection and placement of historical data and background, not to mention the accompanying relevant pictures punctuating the narrative of Meus Insomnium. For a less gifted writer such embellishments would serve only to prop up or obscure a weak story line. But in this case the plot is so solid despite its twists that such additions enhance, rather than overcome, the story; they deepen the reader's involvement. Yet even without the historical digressions, though they add further texture to the story, the plot is substantial enough to stand alone." Ms. Sonya Ngo, Cornell graduate and wife of the late Dr. Dat Ton Ngo: former First Secretary of the South Vietnamese Embassy in Australia, Ambassador to South Korea and Deputy Ambassador to the United States.
