The Acari, comprising mites and ticks, form one of the largest and biologically most diverse groups of the Arachnida. They are worldwide in distribution and rival the insects in the extent to which they have successfully colonized terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Some are significant crop pests, while ticks are parasites on a wide range of vertebrate hosts. This diversity of modes of life is reflected in their morphology and life-history strategies. This book provideds a detailed introduction to the Acari, concentrating on their functional morphology, but also covering their classification and economic importance. It will serve as a text and reference for acarologists and advanced-level students taking courses in general entomology (which traditionally include acarology), invertebrate zoology, and agricultural, medical and veterinary 'entomology.'

John Reed's reportage of his days with the Mexican guerillas under Pancho Villa established him as a top journalist of his time. Here, in a collection first published by Reed himself in 1914, is captured the verve and spirit of the Mexican peon rising from ages of repression. Reed's description of the desert marches, the battles and the exploits of the tropa is among the classics of its genre. A few years later his Ten Days That Shook the World about the Russian Revolution crowned his achievement as the founder of the modern school of journalism. The preface to this edition is by Renato Leduc, a leading Mexican journalist who was a telegrapher with Villa's army at the time Reed sent his dispatches from Mexico.

No name has been more popular, more loved, or more controversial than Jesus Christ. And yet there's a tension between his legacy as the world's greatest most popular hero; and the reality that even pastors and churches violate his teachings on a daily basis. For this reason, an individual must hear from Jesus for himself and then determine his or her beliefs. Is Jesus truly who he said he was? In this book, it's time to meet the one who claims to be our Savior... and make that determination for yourself.This inspirational Christian ebook deals with the reasons our world rejects Jesus by exploring how he responded to his critics throughout the days wherein he taught the people about God's Kingdom. Who's better to gain advice and how-to information from than Jesus? And what better knowledge is there to possess than that of the kingdom of heaven? This biblical self-help book will introduce those who haven't met him, to the great one himself... Jesus. Let his own words and actions be the deciding factor in choosing whether or not to believe in what he stands for. Look Inside!
