VErBAl ReAcTiONS are a new form of word scrambles with a chemical flavor. You don't need to know any science to be able to solve VErBAl ReAcTiONS puzzles, but the puzzles bear a resemblance to chemical reactions. EXAMPLE: Es + 2 S + P + Si + 2 O + N --> __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ . This VErBAl ReAcTiON is a word scramble consisting of one Es, two S's, one P, one Si, two O's, and one N. That is, the word scramble contains the elements Es, S, S, P, Si, O, O, and N. Unscramble these elements to form an 8-symbol word (that's why there are 8 blanks in the puzzle). ANSWER: For this puzzle, the answer is P O S S Es Si O N (possession). These VErBAl ReAcTiONS resemble chemical reactions in two ways. First, the scrambled elements appear added together on the left of the reaction with coefficients (like the number 2 in the puzzle above) telling you how many of each element the solution contains, and you fill in the result of the VErBAl ReAcTiON by rearranging the elements and writing them on the blanks on the right side of the reaction. Secondly, all of the solutions are chemical words. A chemical word is a word that can be made using symbols from the periodic table. For example, the chemical word POSSEsSiON is made using the symbols for phosphorus (P), oxygen (O), sulfur (S), Einsteinium (Es), silicon (Si), and nitrogen (N). You don't need to be familiar with the periodic table to solve these problems; nor do you need to know any chemistry. You just need to be able to count and unscramble elements to make words. This 'Medium' volume consists of words with 6 symbols, which involves familiarity with common 6 to 12 letter words. A unique feature of this book is that there is a Hints section at the back separate from the Answers section, for puzzlers who may be stuck and want to check just the first letter of the solution. MORE EXAMPLES: (1) S + Ni + Ge + U --> __ __ __ __ . (2) 2 C + N + 2 I + P --> __ __ __ __ __ __ . (3) Ti + C + Cr + P + Y --> __ __ __ __ __ . (4) 2 C + U + 2 S + Es --> __ __ __ __ __ __ . You can find the answers below. Note that this medium volume consists of chemical words with 6 symbols. There are also easy and hard puzzles (available in separate volumes), which consist of shorter and longer chemical words. ANSWERS: (1) GeNiUS (2) PICNIC (3) CrYPTiC (4) SUCCEsS.

This 'Hard' volume consists of words with 7 to 8 symbols, which involves familiarity with common 8 to 14 letter words. Other 'Medium' and 'Easy' volumes consist of shorter words. A unique feature of this book is that there is a Hints section at the back separate from the Answers section, for puzzlers who may be stuck and want to check just the first letter of the solution. MORE EXAMPLES: (1) S + Ni + Ge + U --> __ __ __ __ . (2) 2 C + N + 2 I + P --> __ __ __ __ __ __ . (3) Ti + C + Cr + P + Y --> __ __ __ __ __ . (4) 2 C + U + 2 S + Es --> __ __ __ __ __ __ . You can find the answers at the end of this paragraph. Note that this hard volume consists of chemical words with 7 to 8 symbols, which are longer than the examples shown here. We recommend starting with our easy or medium puzzles before tackling these hard puzzles (available in separate volumes). ANSWERS: (1) GeNiUS (2) PICNIC (3) CrYPTiC (4) SUCCEsS.

These word scramble puzzles consist of spooky words or phrases where the letters have been scrambled. Many of the puzzles relate to Halloween in some way. Solve each puzzle by rearranging the letters to form the word or phrase. For example, rearranging the letters M O B I Z E, we can form the word Z O M B I E. Each puzzle consists of a group of related words or phrases, such as words that relate to ghosts or different kinds of Halloween costumes. Knowing that the words in each puzzle are related may help you unscramble any words or phrases that you don't see right away. A hints section at the back of the book provides the first letter of each answer, which is handy if you just need a little help; a separate section provides the answers so that you can check your solutions. EXAMPLES: P A C E G S A F N D O B O L K A T E S N O C T U T A Y B T M A P R E V I A L C A R D U ANSWERS: cape, fangs, blood, stake, count, batty, vampire, Dracula

This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

This book reviews the research pertaining to nutrient requirements for working in cold or in high-altitude environments and states recommendations regarding the application of this information to military operational rations. It addresses whether, aside from increased energy demands, cold or high-altitude environments elicit an increased demand or requirement for specific nutrients, and whether performance in cold or high-altitude environments can be enhanced by the provision of increased amounts of specific nutrients.

When first published, Marshall McLuhan's Understanding Media made history with its radical view of the effects of electronic communications upon man and life in the twentieth century.
