Brenner And Stevens Pharmacology

After having the promise of post-pandemic hope seemingly pulled out from under the world like a cheap rug, most of us could do with a balm. Songwriters Sufjan Stevens and Angelo De Augustine deliver the goods in the form of a truly comforting diversion. Stevens, of course, loves a concept album: He's made them about the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, Michigan and Illinois, and his mother's tragic life and death. This time, he teams with lo-fi California singer-songwriter De Augustine, who has made two albums for Stevens' Asthmatic Kitty label. The theme is philosophical musings on movies, ranging from Old Hollywood (All About Eve) to monster flicks (The Thing), horror (Hellraiser III, Night of the Living Dead), modern classics (She's Gotta Have It, Silence of the Lambs; the album is dedicated to director Jonathan Demme who died in 2017), even action (Point Break).

This book explains the pharmacological relationships between the various systems in the human body. It offers a comprehensive overview of the pharmacology concerning the autonomic, central, and peripheral nervous systems.

Always reaching, always stretching, Becca Stevens reinvents herself once again with "Regina", her debut solo album. In the two years since her last release, Stevens undertook a journey that began with a study of Queen Elizabeth I as inspiration for a commissioned piece. That seed sprouted tributes to various queens from history, legend and from her personal life, songs inspired by the regal and divine. Produced by Troy Miller, Regina features creative and performance collaborations with the award-winning Attacca String Quartet, Snarky Puppy’s Michael League, Jacob Collier, Laura Mvula and very special guest David Crosby.
