Radical prostatectomy is still the most widely recommended treatment for prostate cancer. Yet, according to a recent study, only one out of every forty-eight men who undergo this debilitating procedure survives longer than those who forgo surgery. Invasion of the Prostate Snatchers reports the latest thinking on prostate cancer management in clear, easy-to-understand prose. In a unique collaboration, a patient and his doctor provide a new perspective on living with this disease. Ralph Blum’s surprisingly entertaining twenty-year journey and eventual decision to treat his cancer as a “chronic condition,” together with Dr. Mark Scholz’s presentation of the newest scientific evidence, will liberate thousands of newly diagnosed men to pursue a noninvasive approach and thereby preserve normal sexual and urinary function.

Product Description
This series is designed to bridge the gap between pure research in the biomedical sciences and its practical application in clinical medicine. The objective is to promote the understanding of the molecular basis of human physiology and disease, and new techniques for diagnosis and treatment. Primarily intended for graduate students of medicine, the books will also be of use to molecular biologists, biochemists, physiologists, pharmacologists and biotechnologists, as well as medical practitioners and technicians who seek to update their knowledge. Edited by John Crocker East Birmingham (Heartlands) Hospital, Birmingham, UK Molecular biology has transformed the practice of histopathology in recent years. Knowledge of the molecular organization of the cell has led to the development of powerful new techniques which bring greater accuracy and objectivity to the diagnosis, prognosis and management of many diseases, and to the study of pathological states. This book describes the molecular techniques available and other techniques related to the molecular biology of the cell and provides an overview of how they can be applied. It is aimed not only at histopathologists in training but also at clinicians and biologists studying for masters’ and postdoctoral qualifications.

Molecular Biology in Histopathology

Product Description
This volume explores how various cells and tissues come together to generate the specific form and shape of organs. Each chapter focuses on a distinct organ system and is written by a well-known investigator of that system. The book examines how molecular processes generate specific tissue and organ forms in order to highlight possible common (and unique) mechanisms. Several organisms are represented, each exploiting a developmental paradigm relevant to a specific organ system. Emphasis is placed on molecules that influence cell behaviour, including extracellular matrix components, signalling peptides, degradative enzymes and their inhibitors, cell adhesion molecules and cell junction-associated molecules, and various intracellular organelles, including the actin-containing cytoskeleton, intermediate filaments and microtubules.

Stem Cell Biology in Health and Disease presents an up-to-date overview about the dual role of stem cells in health and disease. The Editors have drawn together an international team of experts providing chapters which, in this fully-illustrated volume, discuss:

- the controversial debate on the great expectations concerning stem cell based regeneration therapies raised by the pluripotency of various stem cells.
- the advantages and concerns about embryonic stem cells (ES cells), induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) and adult stem cells, such as bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMDCs).
- the type of stem cells, which has become of interest in the past decade, namely so-called cancer stem cells (CSCs). CSCs are now in the focus of cancer research since the eradication of tumour initiating cells would raise the changes of definitely cure cancer.

Professor Dittmar and Professor Zänker have edited a must-read book for researchers and professionals working in the field of regenerative medicine and/or cancer.

In print for more than forty years, New Seeds of Contemplation has served as a guide to the contemplative life for several generations of spiritual seekers. The word contemplation is itself somewhat problematical, according to Thomas Merton: “It can become almost a magic word, or if not magic, then ‘inspirational,’ which is almost as bad.” In this modern Christian classic, Merton reveals contemplation to be nothing other than “life itself, fully awake, fully active, fully aware that it is alive.” The thirty-nine short “seeds” that make up this book are intended to awaken and cultivate the contemplative, mystical dimension of the spiritual path for everyone. New Seeds of Contemplation is a revised and expanded version of Merton’s earlier book Seeds of Contemplation. Amazon.com Review
“It can become almost a magic word,” Thomas Merton says of contemplation; “or if not magic, then inspirational, which is almost as bad.” With these words, Merton takes us through the reality of contemplation, which is, the author says, “life itself, fully awake, fully active, fully aware that it is alive. It is spiritual wonder.” Above all, contemplation is “awareness of the reality” of the Source, “with a certitude that goes beyond reason and beyond simple faith.” As these definitions should suggest, in this 20th-century classic on the contemplative life, as in the best of Merton’s work, this Trappist monk wonderfully combines a disciplined and deeply learned intellect with the lyrical passion of the poet. It is this rare combination that makes this book not only informative but also moving. Covering a diverse range of subjects (“Faith,” “The Night of the Senses,” “Renunciation”), it moves the reader through certain traditional “phases” of contemplation, and gives an idea of what to expect in this spiritual process (including despair and darkness). The book describes, but it also enacts. In its own prose it invites the reader to “cast our awful solemnity to the winds and join in the general dance.” –Doug Thorpe

Best Test Preparation for the CLEP Spanish Language

Product Description
This first introductory book designed to train novice programmers is based on a student course taught by the author, and has been optimized for biology students without previous experience in programming.
By interspersing theory chapters with numerous small and large programming exercises, the author quickly shows readers how to do their own programming, and throughout uses anecdotes and real-life examples from the biosciences to ’spice up’ the text.
This practical book thus teaches essential programming skills for life scientists who want — or need — to write their own bioinformatics software tools.
