"Histology of the Blood, Normal and Pathological" by Paul Ehrlich and Adolf Lazarus is a seminal work that delves into the intricate structure and function of blood cells. The authors meticulously explore the various components of blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, providing detailed descriptions of their histological characteristics. This book serves as a crucial resource for understanding both normal hematological processes and the pathological changes th...

The pathology of the blood, especially of the corpuscular elements, though one of the most interesting, is certainly one of the most confusing, of all departments of pathology, and to those who have not given almost undivided attention to this subject it is extremely difficult to obtain a comprehensive and accurate view of the blood in disease. Professor Ehrlich by his careful and extended observations on the blood has qualified himself to give a bird's-eye view of the subject, such as few...

The desire to understand people’s influence on ecosystems has inspired scientific studies and analyses of the stress individuals and communities place on the environment, human well-being, and the tradeoffs between them. As an emerging discipline, Structural Human Ecology is devoted to unlocking the dynamic links between population, environment, social organization, and technology. The new field offers cutting-edge research in risk analysis that can be used to evaluate environmental polici...

Robert Ornstein and Paul Ehrlich explain that we are causing our own problems because we have created a world where our basic mental functions are no longer suitable. We evolved over a period of millions of years to survive in small tribal families on the wild grassy plains of East Africa. Now the way we live has nothing to do with that time and place, but the mental tools that were developed to survive on the savanna have remained unchanged. These instincts were wonderfully adapted to the...

In no department of Pathology has advance been so fitful and interrupted as in that dealing with blood changes in various forms of disease, though none now offers a field that promises such an abundant return for an equal expenditure of time and labour. Observations of great importance were early made by Wharton Jones, Waller, and Hughes Bennett in this country, and by Virchow and Max Schultze in Germany. Not, however, until the decade ending in 1890 was it realised what a large amount of ...

In this fascinating and abundantly illustrated book, two eminent ecologists explain how the millions of species living on Earth -- some microscopic, some obscure, many threatened -- not only help keep us alive but also hold possibilities for previously unimagined products, medicines, and even industries. In an Afterword written especially for this edition, the authors consider the impact of two revolutions now taking place: the increasing rate at which we are discovering new species becaus...

This book is about a grown man who returns to visit a town in rural Louisiana that he loved as a kid. This town had a sense of backwardness and virtually no modern conveniences, but its residents lived wonderful, carefree lives. He and his precocious daughter and a group of friends decide to improve life in the town without losing any of its charm. There are three levels of townspeople that must be addressed in order to make this work. There are Slimers, whose goal is to take advantage of ...

Five former Air Force combat pilots are meeting every week to discus what they can do about the downward trend of America in the last twenty or thirty years. They feel that this is no longer the country that they loved and fought for. The American Dream," says one, has turned into a nightmare for millions of Americans who are now forced to live on the street in poverty, their homes and family possessions gone and no jobs to be had. Only the very rich are doing very well while paying tiny a...

Writing The Blue Hippopotamus was great funsort of reliving my early life and making some incidents even better than they were the first time. What I wanted most of all was to write a page-turner, to give the reader a chance to actually live and feel what I had lived and felt. In a sense, my own life was a page-turner, from day to day, and a wonderful one that I enjoyed and lovedeven the difficult and painful happenings. I think that Ive been tremendously lucky to have had such aalmost a c...
