Imagine his surprise when the Dowager Countess of Morley forces him to honor an old family alliance and take her unwanted granddaughter as his ward. The audacious demand goads Vincent into vowing that he’ll make a better match for his ward than Lady’s Morley’s preferred grandchild. But when Lydia Price arrives and turns his castle upside-down with her vivacious nature, charming curiosity, and lofty goals to be a master painter, Vincent realizes that marrying her off is going to be harder than he thought. Especially when part of him wants her for himself. Lydia is captivated by Lord Deveril’s striking looks and mysteriousness the moment she meets him that first stormy night. And by the first week, she’s fallen in love with his kindness and the electric chemistry she feels in his presence. She vows that the match she’ll make this London Season is with her own guardian, propriety be damned. Lydia’s big gamble to win Vincent’s heart ends up with consequences that she never could have imagined, and threaten to not only break her heart, but could also cost Vincent his life.

Book Description

The fifth Millennium Development target of reducing infant mortality by two thirds by the year 2015 can only be achieved if mortality due to malaria is significantly reduced. WHO recommends early detection and treatment among high-risk groups as one of the strategies for reducing the malaria burden. To be effective, this approach requires an early warning system which enables the health care system to be well-prepared and to allocate scarce resources effectively. Unfortunately, such a system is still not available at the appropriate scale. This book addresses this issue by developing a dynamic malaria transmission model at a local (district) scale using appropriate environmental factors. This dynamic model, driven by temperature and rainfall, successfully simulates seasonal vector abundance and also predicts successfully the monthly malaria incidence. Additionally through a detailed and innovative methodology this pioneering book enables scientists to replicate the study elsewhere in different settings.

But when she tumbles down his stairs, Angelica finds something far more dangerous than ghosts. Ian is the Lord vampire of London and is currently at his wit’s end.

The solution to his problem tumbles into his lap in the form of the vivacious heiress. The duke destroys Angelica’s plans by publicly proposing marriage to save his reputation.

If that weren’t enough, a vampire hunter and John Polidori himself are also watching…and plotting.

Book Description

At the present time, malaria is responsible for a million deaths a year, with 500 million reported cases of the disease and 2.5 billion people at risk of contracting it. The distribution and severity of the disease vary with the causative agents, vectors and environment. Of the 4 possible parasites, only P. falciparum causes fatal forms; the three others have debilitating effects related to frequent disease recurrence and reviviscence. More than 50 species of anophele are involved in the obligatory transmission of the parasite from man to man. Climate, environment and biogeography condition the distribution of anophele species and modulate the intensity of transmission. This is what is known as the biodiversity of malaria. At the present time, more than 90% of P. falciparum malaria deaths occur in tropical Africa where only 10% of the world's population lives. A child dies of malaria every 30 seconds. This continent is home to the most effective vectors and the climate favours transmission. Severe cases also arise in the forested areas of South East Asia, New Guinea and the Amazon region. Throughout the rest of the tropical and subtropical world, the disease caused by P. vivax and/or P. malariae is less serious.
