Inside the PhotonA Journey towards HealthTony Fleming and Elizabeth BauerBiophotonics Research Institute, Highett, Australia

This book describes the newly discovered layer of biophotonics underlying all atomic chemistry and biochemistry. As with the variety of snowflakes, the range in biological species within flora for instance is dependent on this biophotonic layer of interaction within atomic and biomolecular structures. The book examines the phonon, the quantum of acoustic, or vibrational, energy and alongside the photon. Hence the ‘biophonon’ sits aside the biophoton as an element within biological structures. Sounds can create structure in the same way biophotons can use structure to communicate.

Probiotic TherapiesMechanisms of Action and InteractionEdited by

Ravi Durvasula and Henry C. LinUniversity of New Mexico, Albuquerque, USA

Probiotics are live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host (per the WHO). Probiotics are used in treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis), irritable bowel syndrome, lactose intolerance, and also infectious diseases. This book focuses on the interaction of probiotics with the gut microbiome, probiotics’ modification of intestinal flora, and the possibilities of developing drugs from the signalling chemicals involved in these interactions (“bugs to drugs”).

Snakes of the WorldA Catalogue of Living and Extinct SpeciesVan WallachHarvard University (Retired), Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA

Kenneth L. WilliamsNorthwestern State University, Natchitoches, Louisiana, USA

Jeff BoundyLouisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries, Baton Rouge, USA

This book covers all living snakes and fossil snakes. It should have a broad appeal not only to conservationists and herpetologists but to naturalists, hobbyists, educators, and libraries, as it will be the standard reference on snakes. The text includes 1) 625 valid genera and 3,800 valid species (including their synonyms), 2) dubious names (12 genera and 155 species), and 3) invalid names (19 genera and 151 species). The index lists every species in two ways (genus-species and species, genus) so any name can be easily found.
