The Name on Your Wrist
In Corin's world, your carpinomen - the name of your soul mate, marked indelibley on your wrist - is everything. It shapes your whole life, and sets out your future. People spend decades searching for the one they're supposed to be with. But what if you never find your soul mate? What if you fall for someone else - someone other than the name on your wrist? And which if - like Corin - you're desperate not to be found?
Seizure
"Seizure is Roger Hiorns's most ambitious sculpture within an urban context to date. Writers J. J. Charlesworth, Brian Dillon and Tom Morton reflect on their experiences of the work, and Roger Hiorns discusses his interest in architecture, authorship and crystals in an extensive interview with Artangel Co-Director James Lingwood. The publication includes an introductory section of notations, sketches and research notes which chart the genesis of the project, and an extended sequence of photographs of the completed work at 159 Harper Road, London SE1."--BOOK JACKET.

Animals
It is the moment every twenty-something must confront: the time to grow up. Adulthood looms, with all it's numbing tranquility and stifling complacency. The end of prolonged adolescence is near. Laura and Tyler are two women whose twenties have been a blur of overstayed parties, a fondness for drugs that has shifted from cautious experimentation to catholic indulgence, and hangovers that don't relent until Monday morning. They've been best friends, partners in excess, for the last ten years. But things are changing: Laura is engaged to Jim, a classical pianist who has long since given up the carousing lifestyle. He disapproves of Tyler's reckless ways and of what he percieves to be her bad influence on Laura. Jim pulls Laura toward adulthood and responsibility, toward what society says she should be, but Tyler isn't ready to let her go. But what does Laura want for herself? And how can she choose between Tyler and Jim, between one life she loves and another she's "supposed" to love? Raw, uproarious, and deeply affecting, Animals speaks to an entire generation caught between late-adolescence and adulthood wondering what exactly they'll have to give up in order to grow up.

Enhancing Cognitive Fitness in Adults
Late life is characterized by great diversity in memory and other cognitive functions. Although a substantial proportion of older adults suffer from Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia, a majority retain a high level of cognitive skills throughout the life span. Identifying factors that sustain and enhance cognitive well-being is a growing area of original and translational research. In 2009, there are as many as 5.2 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s disease, and that figure is expected to grow to as many as 16 million by 2050. One in six women and one in 10 men who live to be at least age 55 will develop Alzheimer’s disease in their remaining lifetime. Approximatel...
