Print on Demand. This book provides an overview of animal toxins, with a focus on those produced by snakes. It begins by classifying animal toxins based on their origin and pharmacological properties, including their effects on the nervous system, muscles, and cardiovascular system. The author discusses how animal toxins have been used throughout history, both as weapons and as medicines. The majority of the book is dedicated to snake venoms, their physiological effects, and the clinical management of snakebite victims. The author provides detailed descriptions of the major families of venomous snakes, including vipers, cobras, and sea snakes, discussing their evolutionary relationships, habitats, and the characteristics of their venoms. The final chapter explores the potential therapeutic applications of snake venoms, including their use in the development of new drugs for the treatment of pain and other conditions. This book is an authoritative and comprehensive resource for anyone interested in the fascinating world of animal toxins, particularly snake venoms, and their significance in medicine and pharmacology. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

Wie tierische Gifte chemisch entschlüsselt werden und was das für Labormethoden bedeutet.
Dieser Text bietet eine klare Einführung in die chemische Analyse von Toxinen wie Bufotalin und Bufonin. Er beschreibt Experimente, Reaktionen und Überlegungen, die Aufschluss über Struktur, Eigenschaften und mögliche Verwandtschaften zu Cholesterin geben. Leserinnen und Leser bekommen Einblicke in historische und aktuelle Labortechniken, ohne in spekulative Details abzutauchen. Der Abschnitt zeigt, wie Forscher aus tierischen Sekreten Substanzen isolieren, deren Eigenschaften sich durch organische Reaktionen verändern lassen. Er erläutert, wie aus einem Rohstoff über Umwandlungen und Kristallisationen ein charakterisierbares Salz oder Derivat entsteht, und welche Schlussfolgerungen sich daraus ziehen lassen. Der Text verbindet chemische Befunde mit pharmakologischen Hinweisen, die die Wirkung am Organismus betreffen – stets auf solide, belegte Ergebnisse fokussiert.

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
Returns
As a small publisher we do not have the facilities to resell returned books, so any returned book will be recycled. If the book is damaged or defective please continue with the return process, and thank you for letting us know so that we can improve our products. If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.
Thank you in advance!
