Book Description
One of the only books to treat the whole spider, from its behavior and physiology to its neurobiology and reproductive characteristics, Biology of Spiders is considered a classic in spider literature. First published in German in 1979, the book is now in its third edition, and has established itself as the supreme authority on these fascinating creatures. Containing five hundred new references, this book incorporates the latest research while dispelling many oft-heard myths and misconceptions that surround spiders. Of special interest are chapters on the structure and function of spider webs and silk, as well as those on spider venom. A new subchapter on tarantulas will appeal especially to tarantula keepers and breeders. The highly accessible text is supplemented by exceptional, high-quality photographs, many of them originals, and detailed diagrams. It will be of interest to arachnologists, entomologists, and zoologists, as well as to academics, students of biology, and the general reader curious about spiders.

Book Description
What kind of assassin works pro bono? It’s hard to be a badass assassin when a giant is beating the crap out of you. Luckily, I never let pride get in the way of my work. My current mission is personal: annihilate Mab Monroe, the Fire elemental who murdered my family. Which means protecting my identity, even if I have to conceal my powerful Stone and Ice magic when I need it most. To the public, I’m Gin Blanco, owner of Ashland’s best barbecue joint. To my friends, I’m the Spider, retired assassin. I still do favors on the side. Like ridding a vampire friend of her oversized stalker—Mab’s right-hand goon who almost got me dead with his massive fists. At least irresistible Owen Grayson is on my side. The man knows too much about me, but I’ll take my chances. Then there’s Detective Bria Coolidge, one of Ashland’s finest. Until recently, I thought my baby sister was dead. She probably thinks the same about me. Little does she know, I’m a cold-blooded killer . . . who is about to save her life.

Book Description
Arthropods are invertebrates that constitute over 90% of the animal kingdom, and their bio-ecology is closely linked with global functioning and survival. Arthropods play an important role in maintaining the health of ecosystems, provide livelihoods and nutrition to human communities, and are important indicators of environmental change. Yet the population trends of several arthropods species show them to be in decline. Arthropods constitute a dominant group with 1.2 million species influencing earth’s biodiversity. Among arthropods, insects are predominant, with ca. 1 million species and having evolved some 350 million years ago. Arthropods are closely associated with living and non-living entities alike, making the ecosystem services they provide crucially important. In order to be effective, plans for the conservation of arthropods and ecosystems should include a mixture of strategies like protecting key habitats and genomic studies to formulate relevant policies for in situ and ex situ conservation. This two-volume book focuses on capturing the essentials of arthropod inventories, biology, and conservation.Further, it seeks to identify the mechanisms by which arthropod populations can be sustained in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and by means of which certain problematic species be managed without producing harmful environmental side-effects. This edited compilation includes chapters contributed by over 80 biologists on a wide range of topics embracing the diversity, distribution, utility and conservation of arthropods and select groups of insect taxa. More importantly, it describes in detail the mechanisms of sustaining arthropod ecosystems, services and populations. It addresses the contribution of modern biological tools such as molecular and genetic techniques regulating gene expression, as well as conventional, indigenous practices in arthropod conservation. The contributors reiterate the importance of documenting and understanding the biology of arthropods from a holistic perspective before addressing conservation issues at large. This book offers a valuable resource for all zoologists, entomologists, ecologists, conservation biologists, policy makers, teachers and students interested in the conservation of biological resources.

The present book will act as an Objective Question Bank for General Science. The book has been prepared keeping in mind the importance of the subject. This book has been divided into four sections namely Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Computer Science, each divided into number of chapters as per the syllabi of General Science section asked in various competitive exams. The Physics section covers Motion, Force & Laws of Motion, Gravitation, Work, Energy & Power, Simple Harmonic Motion, Wave Motion, Light-Ray Optics, Current Electricity & Its Effects, Nuclear Physics, Semiconductor, Communication, etc whereas the Chemistry section has been divided into Atomic Structure, Chemical Reactions, Chemical Bonding, Solutions & Colloids, Energetics & Kinetics, Electrochemistry, Metallurgy, Metals & Their Compounds, Flame & Fuel, Food Chemistry, etc. The Biology section in the book covers Biology & Its Branches, Cell: Structure & Functions, Cell Cycle & Cell Division, Plant Tissues, Animal Nutrition, Plant System, Reproduction in Organisms, Respiratory System, Excretory System, Reproductive System, Genetics, Biotechnology, Animal Husbandry, etc whereas the Computer Awareness section has been divided into Computer Organisation & Memory, Data Representation, Software, Data Communication Networking and Internet & Computer Security. The chapters in the book contain more than 100 tables which will help in better summarization of the important information. Each chapter in the book contains ample number of objective questions ample number of objective questions including questions asked in previous years’ exams which have been designed on the lines of questions asked in various competitive examinations. With a collection of more than 5000 highly useful questions, the content covered in the book tries to simplify the complexities of some of the topics so that non-science students feel no difficulty while studying general science. Also hints and solutions to the difficult questions have been provided in the book. As the book thoroughly covers the General Science section asked in a number of competitive examinations, it for sure will work as a preparation booster for various competitive examinations like UPSC & State Level PSCs Examinations, SSC, CDS, NDA, CISF and other general competitive & recruitment examinations.
