It gives some measure of hope and makes the invisible visible, allowing for change.
The Selector of Souls
The Selector of Soulsbegins with a scene that is terrifying, harrowing and yet strangely tender: we're in the mid ranges of the Himalayas as a young woman gives birth to her third child with the help of her mother, Damini. The birth brings no joy, just a horrible accounting, and the act that follows--the huge sacrifice made by Damini out of love of her daughter--haunts the novel. In Shauna Singh Baldwin's enthralling novel, two fascinating, strong-willed women must deal with the relentless logic forced upon them by survival: Damini, a Hindu midwife, and Anu, who flees an abusive marriage for the sanctuary of the Catholic church. When Sister Anu comes to Damini's home village to open a clinic, their paths cross, and each are certain they are doing what's best for women. What do health, justice, education and equality mean for women when India is marching toward prosperity, growth and becoming a nuclear power? If the baby girls and women around them are to survive, Damini and Anu must find creative ways to break with tradition and help this community change from within.

Spinegrinder
First came video and more recently high definition home entertainment, through to the internet with its streaming videos and not strictly legal peer-to-peer capabilities. With so many sources available, today’s fan of horror and exploitation movies isn’t necessarily educated on paths well-trodden — Universal classics, 1950s monster movies, Hammer — as once they were. They may not even be born and bred on DAWN OF THE DEAD. In fact, anyone with a bit of technical savvy (quickly becoming second nature for the born-clicking generation) may be viewing MYSTICS IN BALI and S.S. EXPERIMENT CAMP long before ever hearing of Bela Lugosi or watching a movie directed by Dario Argento. In this world, H.G. Lewis, so-called “godfather of gore,” carries the same stripes as Alfred Hitchcock, “master of suspense.” SPINEGRINDER is one man’s ambitious, exhaustive and utterly obsessive attempt to make sense of over a century of exploitation and cult cinema, of a sort that most critics won’t care to write about. One opinion; 8,000 reviews (or thereabouts.

Control and Diseases of Sodium Dependent Transport Proteins and Ion Channels
Hardbound. Control and diseases of sodium dependent transport proteins and ion channels is believed to be one of the scientific research fields which holds great interest for biomedical investigators. The topics of gene expression, modulation and traffic of ion channels, transporters and receptors are progressing tremendously in cellular and molecular biology. The expression and regulation of these areas has profound implications for research in fields such as neuronal systems, intra- and intercellular signaling and close talking, cell prolification and differentiation, and ion mobilization. Evidence from this research has fundamental effect on drug design, dialysation and gene therapy as clinical tools.The contributions in this volume are grouped according to subject. Much focus is placed on molecular biology, regulatory mechanism, gene expression, physiology, pharmacology, toxicology and drug design related to Na/H exchanger, Na/Ca exchanger, Na c
