Whether you’re a born-and-raised Floridian, a recent transplant, or just passing through, Florida Curiosities will have you laughing out loud as David Grimes and Tom Becnel take you on a rollicking tour of the strangest sides of the Sunshine State. Discover the state’s smallest police station; its highest point (at a measly 345 feet); and its warmest (and smelliest) mineral spring. Meet a worm-fiddlin’ woman; a chainsaw-wieldin’ man; and some real-life underwater dancing mermaids—sure to make a splash with the little ones! Join the fun at a flip-your-own-pancake restaurant; the Chumuckla Redneck Parade’s lack-of-beauty pageant; or the get-nekked-if-you-dare Butt Hutt.
Proposes a paradigm shift in thinking about new products in order to encourage administrators, managers, marketing specialists, and funders of research to share ideas, concepts, and criteria for developing marketable biobased polymeric materials with specific tailored properties. The wide range of topics, intended to inspire rather than define, embraces techniques and approaches in scientific organizations, commercializing cornstarch-derived glycosides for textiles and other products, interactions between proteins and polysaccharides during network formation as revealed by observing canola protein, emulsified soy protein-lipid films, and protein chain immobilization factors for edible emulsion films.

From its pre-Colonial origins to the hustle and bustle of today, Billerica has remained a thriving village with something for everyone. Surrounded by lakes, rivers, and footpaths that became the building blocks of the state's road system, Billerica's history reflects the growth trends of a young nation--a history steeped in courage, independence, prosperity, and celebration. Originally the Shawshin Wilderness, the fledgling settlement took the name Billerica and was incorporated as a town in 1655. The territory initially included lands that would become parts of Bedford, Tewksbury, Wilmington, and Carlisle. For the next three centuries, farmers, weavers, merchants, millers, and craftsmen sought out Billerica for its agricultural opportunity, potential waterpower, recreational attractions, and strategic travel routes.
