Molecular Genetic Medicine
Molecular Genetic Medicine, Volume I, provides an overview of the progress in several of the most important areas of modern molecular genetics and medicine. The aim is to present a technical and historical picture of the concept that it is through a thorough understanding of genetics of all kinds of human diseases, even infectious diseases, that effective treatments will finally come. The book opens with a discussion of the origins and development of the Human Genome Project. This is followed by separate chapters on the development of immune-deficient mice as models for human hematopoietic disease; the application of genetic techniques for testing identity and relatedness of persons; and advances in recombinant DNA technology and their applications in drug discovery. The final chapter discusses the impact of molecular biology and molecular evolution on debates about the origin of humans, and about the origins both of the characteristics that they share with other animals and of those that make humans unique.
Grandma, Tell Us a Story
In this heartwarming memoir spanning over 60 years, readers will meet the Polish family and lifelong friends of Norene Forma Taylor. The years fly by with humorous and embarrassing recollections of grade school, high school, and four years at the University of Michigan, as the author shares her heartaches and joys as a daughter, wife, mother, and elementary schoolteacher. Real adventure unfolds when her husband, Larry, begins his career with the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Over the years, they both learn that some prison inmates, who have made serious mistakes, are trying their best to return to their families and communities as responsible individuals -- and rash and unscrupulous people aren’t always the ones behind bars. This detailed and touching family history, with its many life lessons, may bring an occasional tear to your eye-- but it promises several unexpected warm smiles as well.

The Boyfriend
Chris faced up to the fact that he was gay young man in spite of all the stories he read where he didn't fit the profile-his family wasn't loaded, he didn't drive an incredible road machine, and he was neither effeminate nor the super-jock. He didn't hate himself, and while he didn't exactly bolt out of the closet, he wasn't in a state of painful denial either. So, what did he want? Chris wanted love but that's tough to find. But that didn't matter anyway, because everything he heard and saw told him all gay men wanted was sex-and that he knew how to find. Looking for it one night he met Jamie Levesque, and with stars in his eyes he had to change his mind... The way Chris saw it, once he had a boyfriend, everything was going to be different. Just like in the stories, life with Jamie was going to be sunshine and lollipops forever-right? Uh-huh. Right. Read about it in a story that's told by Chris in his own words and in his own special way.

Overweight and Obesity in Saudi Arabia
Overweight and obesity constitute a major global epidemic that has grown substantially. They are particularly alarming in Saudi Arabia, where more than half of the adult population is overweight and one out of five people are obese. Additionally, the prevalence of all noncommunicable diseases (NCDs)--such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancers--has increased substantially in recent decades, and today they are the leading cause of disability and death in the country. While the causes of overweight and obesity are complex and numerous, several innovative and multisectoral evidence-based interventions are emerging globally. Saudi Arabia has already embarked on the design and implemen...
