Three Kingdoms
“A material epic with an astonishing fidelity to history."—New York Times Book Review Three Kingdoms tells the story of the fateful last reign of the Han dynasty (206 B.C.–A.D. 220), when the Chinese empire was divided into three warring kingdoms. Writing some twelve hundred years later, the Ming author Luo Guanzhong drew on histories, dramas, and poems portraying the crisis to fashion a sophisticated, compelling narrative that has become the Chinese national epic. This abridged edition captures the novel's intimate and unsparing view of how power is wielded, how diplomacy is conducted, and how wars are planned and fought. As important for Chinese culture as the Homeric epics have been for the West, this Ming dynasty masterpiece continues to be widely influential in China, Korea, Japan, and Vietnam and remains a great work of world literature.
Three Kingdoms, A Historical Novel
"The Three Kingdoms gives us The Iliad of China. First of the five great works of traditional prose fiction, this master narrative transforms history into epic and has thereby educated and entertained readers of five centuries with unforgettable exemplars of martial and civic virtue, of personal fidelity and political treachery. Moss Roberts's translation, the first complete rendering in English, is one of surpassing excellence and impeccable scholarship. It should delight and captivate Western readers for many more years to come."—Anthony C. Yu, University of Chicago

Recent Advances in the Molecular Genetics of Glioma
Gliomas are central nervous tumours with a glial cell of origin, such as neural stem cells, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. They usually occur in the brain (supratentorial, infratentorial, brainstem) but occasionally originate in the spine. Gliomas may be benign or malignant, comprise of various histopathological subtypes and WHO grades (I-IV). Despite having a low incidence rate of around 3.19 per 100,000 (in the US) and a median age of 64 years for a first diagnosis, gliomas account for 80% of malignant brain tumours, and are most often fatal; they are the leading cause of cancer-related death among males from the ages of 0-39 and in females aged 0-19.
