Pasture Bedtime: Charlie's Rules #1 (Orca Echoes)
by Sigmund BrouwerEleven-year-old Charlie Dembinski likes to keep his life organized and quiet. This is a challenge when you live on a farm where your mother runs a veterinary clinic for the local livestock, neighbors’ pets and sometimes rescued wildlife. To complicate Charlie’s orderly life even further, his mother hires a bookkeeper to live on the farm who brings along her daughter, Amy Ma. And Amy is anything but quiet! Her constant questions and attempts to spend time with Charlie really bother him, and he doesn’t understand why the adults seem to like her so much. But when a neighbor’s beloved dog gets sick with a mysterious illness, Charlie realizes that Amy’s outgoing approach might not be all that bad. This is the first book in the Charlie's Rules series.
Pat's Harmony
by Page CooperIn the fall, Pat's father had promised her a chestnut colt with two white feet she'd named Harmony. But Pat's father was killed in a rodeo accident, and, over the winter, the colt had been lost in the buttes of South Dakota. Pat was advised to forget him and pick another horse for her own. But in the spring, mud-caked, starved, rickety, and "not worth the powder to shoot him," Harmony was found, and given a second chance to become the outstanding horse Pat believed he could be. This is the fictionalized story of the real show horse Harmony, the beautiful chestnut horse that Pat developed into one of the nation's outstanding jumpers and working hunters.

Patch Clamp Techniques
by Yasunobu OkadaChannels and transporters are multi-functional proteins that mediate substrate transport and signal transmission and simultaneously act as regulators for other proteins and biosensors for environmental materials. Patch clamping is an epoch-making technique that allows researchers to perform real-time measurements of electrogenic channel/transporter functions at the single/multiple molecular level. This book describes not only the conventional patch clamp techniques but also their newly developed variations or applications, such as perforated patch, slice patch, blind patch, in vivo patch, imaging patch, smart patch, and automated patch clamping. These patch clamp techniques are now essential and are extensively used across the life sciences and in related industries. With plain and practical descriptions of patch clamping and how to carry it out, especially for beginners, the book also shows how widely and exquisitely the patch clamp techniques can be applied by expert electrophysiologists. This work serves as a useful guide for young researchers and students in training and laboratory courses as well as for senior researchers who wish to extend their repertoire of techniques.

Pathogens Crossing Borders: Global Animal Diseases and International Responses, 1860–1947 (Routledge Studies in the History of Science, Technology and Medicine #45)
by Cornelia KnabThe increasing globalization of trade, travel and transport since the mid-19th century had unwelcome consequences – one of them was the spread of contagious animal diseases over greater distances in a shorter time than ever before. Borders and national control strategies proved to be insufficient to stop the pathogens. Not surprisingly, the issue of epizootics (epidemics of animals) was among the first topics to be addressed by international meetings from the 1860s onwards. Pathogens Crossing Borders explores the history of international efforts to contain and prevent the spread of animal diseases from the early 1860s to the years after the Second World War. As an innovative contribution to global history and the history of internationalism, the book investigates how disease experts, politicians and state authorities developed concepts, practices and institutional structures at the international level to tackle the spread of animal diseases across borders. By following their activities in dealing with a problem area which was – and is today – of enormous political, social, public health and economic relevance, the book reveals the historical challenges of finding common international responses to complex and pressing global issues for which there are no easy solutions.
Pathology and Epidemiology of Aquatic Animal Diseases for Practitioners
