Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases
Provides an up-to-date, authoritative, and challenging review of the ecology and evolution of infectious diseases, focusing on low-income countries for effective public health applications and outcomes.
Ecology and Evolution of Cancer
Ecology and Evolution of Cancer is a timely work outlining ideas that not only represent a substantial and original contribution to the fields of evolution, ecology, and cancer, but also goes beyond by connecting the interfaces of these disciplines. This work engages the expertise of a multidisciplinary research team to collate and review the latest knowledge and developments in this exciting research field. The evolutionary perspective of cancer has gained significant international recognition and interest, which is fully understandable given that somatic cellular selection and evolution are elegant explanations for carcinogenesis. Cancer is now generally accepted to be an evolutionary and ...

Roche Commissions
Roche sponsors works of composers jointly selected by the artistic directors of the Lucerene Festival, Carnegie Hall and the Cleveland Orchestra (whom also premiere the commission work). George Benjamin is the fourth composer thus selected, and this book includes interviews with him, reminiscences by associates, reflections on his work, and an excerpt from the commissioned work, "Duet."
Sontag
Elle fut « la dernière star littéraire » américaine. Essayiste et romancière, mère et militante, égérie intellectuelle et médiatique aux mille et une facettes, tantôt adulée, tantôt détestée, Susan Sontag (1933-2004) s’ingénia toute sa vie à bâtir sa propre mythologie. Son œuvre foisonnante offre une clé de lecture indispensable à la compréhension de notre culture saturée d’images et de conflits. Chroniqueuse des chaos de son époque (de la guerre d’Algérie au siège de Sarajevo en passant par la révolution cubaine et la chute du mur de Berlin), elle sut tout aussi bien exercer son regard acéré sur sa vie personnelle, marquée par des aventures amoureuses extraordinaires et une constante remise en cause de soi. Pour ériger ce monument biographique, Benjamin Moser a eu accès à de nombreuses archives inédites et à des proches de Sontag qui n’avaient encore jamais parlé d’elle (dont sa dernière compagne, la photographe Annie Leibovitz). Une enquête passionnante et romanesque sur une personnalité hors du commun qui, en s’emparant de sa destinée, a contribué à redéfinir en profondeur les termes de la condition féminine.
The Electric Battery
An easy-to-understand and engaging exploration of the battery's development across history that reveals current technological advances, celebrates the innovators who have led the charge forward, and shows how the electric battery represents the path to a low-carbon future. Now more than ever, consumers want to understand not only the basic facts behind the electric battery and the challenges of battery storage in everyday devices, including vehicles, but also whether increased, widespread application of battery technology has real environmental benefits that could change the future of our planet. Is 21st-century battery technology the foundation on which our low-carbon future will be built? ...
The Cheating Cell
A fundamental and groundbreaking reassessment of how we view and manage cancer When we think of the forces driving cancer, we don’t necessarily think of evolution. But evolution and cancer are closely linked because the historical processes that created life also created cancer. The Cheating Cell delves into this extraordinary relationship, and shows that by understanding cancer’s evolutionary origins, researchers can come up with more effective, revolutionary treatments. Athena Aktipis goes back billions of years to explore when unicellular forms became multicellular organisms. Within these bodies of cooperating cells, cheating ones arose, overusing resources and replicating out of cont...
