Nucleic Acids and Molecular Biology

By: Fritz Eckstein,David M. J. Lilley

Molecular biology has always been a discipline of rapid development. Despite this, we are presently experiencing a period of unprecedented proliferation of information in nucleic acid studies and molecular biology. These areas are intimately interwoven, so that each influences the other to their mutual benefit. The rapid growth in information leads to ever-increasing specialization, so that it becomes increasingly difficult for a scientist to keep abreast of developments in all the various aspects of the field, although an up-to-date knowledge of the field as a whole is highly desirable. With this background in mind we present the series Nucleic Acids and Molecular Biology. It comprises focused review articles by active researchers who report on the newest developments in their areas of particular interest.

The Worms in Fools' Fingers

By: MJ Watts

When wickedness is confronted by righteousness, it is often difficult to tell them apart. Seventeenth century Europe has been ravaged by war for almost thirty years. The people are broken, starving, and riven by disease. Out of the devastation and their desperation for somewhere to lay the blame comes the terror of the witch persecutions. Udo Beck is a soldier who has survived a battle that he vows will be his last. Learning of the fortunes being made by witch confessors, he decides where his future lies - a decision that will change his very humanity and the lives of those around him. In the German state of Saxony, an outbreak of a horrific contagion is blamed on witchcraft, and the zealotry of an ambitious Bishop brings terror throughout the state. Disparate and memorable characters are brought together on the forested slopes of the Harz mountains where each must confront their own iniquities as their lives are seized by events and forces beyond their control. From England, from the frozen shores of the Baltic, and from the blue limpid waters of the Caribbean, The Worms in Fools’ Fingers is an historical adventure - a tale of ambition, greed, and betrayal that destroys lives and families, and renders formerly unbreakable friendships asunder.

The Meon Hill Murder, 1945

Unsolved Crime in Witch Country

By: M J Trow

In the closing months of the Second World War, an old hedger was found bludgeoned and hacked to death in a Warwickshire field. His name was Charles Walton and the place was the little village of Lower Quinton, under the shadow of Meon Hill. They called in the local CID; they called in Scotland Yard; they interviewed hundreds of people; they asked thousands of questions. But somebody wasn’t talking. The whole village was silent, as if someone had drawn down a blind. After the case was scaled down, the rumors remained. Was Meon Hill the center of a witches’ coven? And was old Charlie Walton, with his ability to talk to birds and toads and his magic watch, a witch himself? For eighty years, the supernatural has hovered over the murder of Charles Walton, with vague, haunted memories of secret rites and black dogs. Even the dead man’s grave has vanished. Rumor has been piled on innuendo, adding to the excesses of writers determined to make a supernatural mystery out of a very local tragedy, until the dead man himself has disappeared into a morass of hocus pocus. This is the first book to get past the nonsense, accessing original police files that say precisely nothing about witchcraft. Analyzing the facts from the time and removing the ever-more ludicrous layers of fiction, it gets as near to solving the mystery as we are ever likely to.

CONTEMPORARY POLITICAL THEORY

By: VINOD, M. J.,DESHPANDE, MEENA

Intended as a text for the postgraduate students of political science, this well-researched book attempts to track the evolution of political ideas in the recent past and their background. It brings out the contemporary epistemological and methodological debates within the discipline and social sciences as a whole, and incorporates the latest developments in the field. Divided into forty chapters under eleven parts, the book deals with the core concepts and debates in political theory, and focuses on the state-society interactions. It tries to explain how the states, societies and cultures have responded to the emerging challenges thrown up by the social, economic and political factors, and the direction of the response. It also dwells on the impact of globalisation on current trends. Finally, the book analyses the ideas of modern Indian thinkers such as V.D. Savarkar, Jawaharlal Nehru, Ram Manohar Lohia, B.R. Ambedkar and Jayaprakash Narayan. Besides the postgraduate students of political science, the book would also be useful to the aspirants of civil services examinations and the initiated readers.
