Between 1941 and 1945 as many as 70,000 inmates died at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in northwestern Germany. The exact number will never be known. A large number of these deaths were caused by malnutrition and disease, mainly typhus, shortly before and after liberation.It was at this time, in April of 1945, that Michael Hargrave answered a notice at the Westminster Hospital Medical School for ‘volunteers’.

How a visionary university and foundation president tackled some of the thorniest problems facing higher education As provost and then president of Princeton University, William G. Bowen (1933–2016) took on the biggest and most complex challenges confronting higher education: cost disease, inclusion, affirmative action, college access, and college completion. Later, as president of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, he took his vision for higher education—and the strategies for accomplishing that vision—to a larger arena.

The Wainthropp Detective Agency is bustling. No longer the new kid on the crime-fighting block, late-blooming gumshoe Hetty Wainthropp (Patricia Routledge, Keeping Up Appearances) gets the really tough jobs that require a head and a heart. Her uncanny ability to blend in with her surroundings brings her into contact with people from all walks of life, from marauding holigans to high society brides. Even Detective Chief Inspector Adams relies on her for sensitive cases that require her special blend of tenacity and kindness. Hetty is flattered, but clearly states her limits: "No sex scandals, no divorce, no drug running, and no industrial espionage." Still, she finds plenty of excitement in these nine new cases solved with the help of her trusty young assistant, Geoffrey (Dominic Monaghan, ABC's Lost), and devoted hubby, Robert (Derek Benfield)
As the essays in this volume show, conceptualizing dementia has always been a complex process. With contributions from noted professionals in psychiatry, neurology, molecular biology, sociology, history, ethics, and health policy, Concepts of Alzheimer Disease looks at the ways in which Alzheimer disease has been defined in various historical and cultural contexts. The book covers every major development in the field, from the first case described by Alois Alzheimer in 1907 through groundbreaking work on the genetics of the disease. Essays examine not only the prominent role that biomedical and clinical researchers have played in defining Alzheimer disease, but also the ways in which the perspectives of patients, their caregivers, and the broader public have shaped concepts.
