This volume mainly contains information on the diagnosis, therapy, and prognosis of brain tumors. Insights on the understanding of molecular pathways involved in tumor biology are explained, which should lead to the development of effective drugs. Information on pathways (e.g., hedgehog) facilitates targeted therapies in cancer. Tumor models are also presented, which utilize expression data, pathway sensitivity, and genetic abnormalities, representing targets in cancer. For example, rat model of malignant brain tumors using implantation of doxorubicin with drug eluting beads for delivery is explained. The future of pathway-driven therapies for tumors is summarized. The importance of personalizing cancer care is emphasized. The need for supportive measures for survivors of brain cancer is pointed out, so is the quality of life monitoring. The need of rehabilitation therapy for patients with primary and metastatic brain tumors is also emphasized. Role of MicroRNA in distinguishing primary tumors from… Read More

Dharma Tuke inhabits a near future where society has been radically reshaped following the Deluge - a worldwide pandemic - where people are accustomed to walking through chemical Wipes when entering a building or even a different room, and where the role of family has been marginalised, familial ties discouraged under the 'new normal'.

But Dharma is curious, and sets about quietly researching her past, tracing her recent ancestry in hope of discovering living relatives, and discovering what life was like both before and during the Deluge. What she unwittingly uncovers will have far reaching repercussions both for herself and for the whole of society.

In The Wipe, Nik Abnett has produced a narrative that is sometimes touching, sometimes harrowing, but always fascinating; a tale of determination and perseverance against the odds and, ultimately, a story about the importance of family, friendship, and love.

This book is a concise yet thorough study of charge-parity (CP) asymmetry, particularly within the B meson system. Beginning with an introduction to the topic, the book covers discrete symmetry, antiparticles and CP symmetry before moving on to CP violations in both the quark sector and the B meson system. It also examines the accelerators and experiments involved in unveiling the asymmetry within the weak interactions, and finishes with an outlook on investigations beyond the Standard Model. The book offers a fascinating insight into the research of CP asymmetry and is an essential reference for experimental physicists and other researchers related to the field.

This book is for people who desire to change their perspective and outlook about life, death, money, culture, beliefs and most importantly, history.
Throughout history, most people accepted and embraced the world they were born into and they were ridiculed whenever they questioned their worlds. If you were born in Saudi Arabia, America or China, you would most probably be a Muslim speaking Arabic, a Christian speaking English or a Buddhist speaking Mandarin, respectively. It would be no coincidence that everyone believes they possess the truth and are the only people in a covenant with God.
Societies that do not question the traditions of the past would never evolve. Do not wait until the time comes when you ask yourself, how did anyone accept that world the way it was?
I would like to share with you the views of three respected people who have generously shared their brief reviews, namely, Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, Dr. Heather R. Younger and Bruce Kasanoff.

In his first book, Entering The Promised Land, Willie's quest to understand how embedded social biases affect business success led to a much broader revelation. Religious Scholar by training, Willie's source for study was biblical Scripture. In the course of his research, he literally stumbled upon a new methodology for biblical study. He named this new tool the "Defined Word Approach." Much to his surprise, by using this tool, he found a rich cultural heritage for individuals of African descent, hence the title Entering The Promised Land. In his latest writing, The Real Story of Creation, Willie lays out an entirely new perspective on Creation as recounted in the Holy Bible. Using the Defined Word Approach, he breaks down the meaning of the classical Hebrew words used to write the Scripture. The take-away is vastly different from the biblical teachings of the past two centuries. Willie feels that using the Defined Word Approach to read and understand the Bible could be the impetus for re-energizing… Read More

A very nice guide to Mexican Artists including painters, sculptors, and photographers. The book shows glossy without writing in it. It is in good shape. There is one bump to the corner that folder the pages and cover about a half inch. It is not so bad in the lower right hand corner of the book.

Well there's this talking monkey who won me in a game of Othello in a coffee shop in Amsterdam.

He came back to Cornwall with me and has become a prolific reader and dabbler in magic.

He also has past life flash backs - the most prominent of which are the Nam special forces ones. We have partially deceased girlfriends who apparently eat dead bodies.

The Monkey created a sort of black hole in the spare bedroom and now we have a team of nerds investigating it and trying to stop 'things' coming out of it.

A bunch of Oriental hit men who appear to believe he is a god attempted to steal The Monkey's magic lolly pop sticks, but he managed to blow them up in their caravan.

We are off to Cambodia in search of a temple from which came a monkey faced pendant with glowing eyes and we seem to have upset an international cabal who are out to get us.

Oh, and did I mention that The Monkey likes a cigar and we regularly get very drunk on Jack Daniels...
