Book Description
The “King of Sting” describes his adventures with insects and the pain scale that’s made him a scientific celebrity. Silver, Science (Adult Non-Fiction) Foreword INDIES Award 2017 Entomologist Justin O. Schmidt is on a mission. Some say it’s a brave exploration, others shake their heads in disbelief. His goal? To compare the impacts of stinging insects on humans, mainly using himself as the test case. In The Sting of the Wild, the colorful Dr. Schmidt takes us on a journey inside the lives of stinging insects. He explains how and why they attack and reveals the powerful punch they can deliver with a small venom gland and a “sting,” the name for the apparatus that delivers the venom. We learn which insects are the worst to encounter and why some are barely worth considering. The Sting of the Wild includes the complete Schmidt Sting Pain Index, published here for the first time. In addition to a numerical ranking of the agony of each of the eighty-three stings he’s sampled so far, Schmidt describes them in prose worthy of a professional wine critic: “Looks deceive. Rich and full-bodied in appearance, but flavorless” and “Pure, intense, brilliant pain. Like walking over flaming charcoal with a three-inch nail embedded in your heel.” Schmidt explains that, for some insects, stinging is used for hunting: small wasps, for example, can paralyze huge caterpillars for long enough to lay eggs inside them, so that their larvae emerge within a living feast. Others are used to kill competing insects, even members of their own species. Humans usually experience stings as defensive maneuvers used by insects to protect their nest mates. With colorful descriptions of each venom’s sensation and a story that leaves you tingling with awe, The Sting of the Wild’s one-of-a-kind style will fire your imagination.

Book Description
The author has learned, from experience, how God moves in the hearts, minds, and lives of people who spend time with him in praise, worship, and studying the Word. When asked the question, “What do you want people to learn from your years of experience in living for God?” the author responded that she would like to “download” and “regurgitate” her life experiences regarding praise, worship, and the study of the Word into the hearts and lives of young people so that they will come to know the voice of the Lord, learn to listen to him, and follow his leading. You cannot go wrong if you follow where God wants you to go and what he wants you to do. We should ask God to, “Order my steps in thy word” (Psa. 119:133). “The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God for the pulling down of strongholds” (2 Cor. 10:4). Praise, Worship, and the Word opens you up to receive what God has to say to you, show you, and how he wants to lead you. You cannot follow God if you don’t listen to him. When Alice asked the question, “Would you tell me, please which way I ought to go from here?” The answer was “If you don’t know where you are going, any road will take you there” (Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland). Listen to the voice of God, and you cannot go wrong.

Book Description
THEY DON’T JUST STING YOU. They lay their eggs in human flesh. They hatch and crawl beneath the skin. Then they grow wings and burst out of the body. A rare species of wasp from the Amazon jungle, they are unusually large, extremely aggressive—and coming to America on the next international flight . . . THEY BREED INSIDE OF YOU. On a Florida-bound plane from Honduras, a baby screams in pain. Minutes later, the wasps emerge from their human host. They attack the passengers, sting the crew, and send the plane crashing into the gulf. No one survives. Over three hundred bodies are pulled from the wreckage. Bodies injected with tens of thousands of eggs . . . CALL THE EXTERMINATORS. In a Miami morgue, the larvae feast on the dead. Then they erupt from the corpses, attacking every living human in sight. Soon they are swarming across the state, spreading throughout the country, breeding and growing in number, size—and viciousness. Pesticides won’t stop them. But a young entomologist and a motley crew of military convicts are fighting back—using science, smoking grenades, and flamethrowers. They call themselves The Exterminators. And they’ll do whatever it takes to wipe these nasty buggers off the face of the earth—before they kill us all . . . Prepare yourself for a skin-crawling shocker by Jeff Jacobson, the acclaimed master of cult horror classics like Sleep Tight, Growth, and Wormfood. “A talent with an amazing ability to astonish.”—David Morrell, bestselling author of First Blood
