Deserted Boat Drifting Towards the Moon
This book unites the inkjet prints of Uwe Wittwer with the poetry of Jürg Halter. Deserted Boat Drifts Towards the Moon brings artist Uwe Wittwer's inkjet prints and poet Jürg Halter's writing together in a multi-layered dialogue. Inspired by Japanese director Kenji Mizoguchi's legendary movie Ugetsu Monogatari (Rain Moon Tales), they intend to trigger a new, imaginary film in the mind of the reader. Artist and poet have created a subtle play with hints, fragments, comments, and further narratives. Some of Wittwer's images are illustrative. Others refuse a direct reading. Likewise, Halter's short poems in some cases are unambiguous and simple, and in some cases are equivocal and elude immediate access. This book explores questions such as, "When does humanity turn into inhumanity?" and "Is comfort to be found in art?"

Factors Affecting Graft Survival After Renal Transplant: Prevention of Failure and Follow up Strategies
Renal transplantation considerably increases patient life expectancy and quality of life compared to dialysis, it is regarded as the gold therapeutic strategy for patients with end-stage renal disease. In addition to the survival rate in transplant patients, allograft failure is a significant source of worry since graft loss raises mortality and can add pressure to a community healthcare system. Age, race, gender and immunologic compatibility of the recipient and donor are preoperative variables that affect function of graft and its survival. Additionally, a number of post-operative factors, including post-operative immunosuppressive therapy and the duration of cold and warm ischemia, have an impact on graft function and rejection. However, in contrast to short-term survival rates, long-term graft survival has not met recovery expectations despite successful kidney transplant surgery. But following transplantation, post-transplant patients typically experience post-transplant cardiovascular and cardiovascular-related mortality.

Die Nachtmaschine
Kaum einer gab sein Leben so leidenschaftlich der Literatur hin wie der Basler Matthyas Jenny. Zeitlebens schwamm er gegen den Mainstream. Von der Hippie-Insel Ios und der Künstlerkommune in Carona bis zur Kleinbasler Wohnung mit Druckmaschine in der Waschküche, vom Undergroundpoeten und Verleger zum Topmanager einer Verlagsauslieferung, vom Literaturaktivisten zum Buchhändler und Organisator von über 2000 Lesungen – und dabei alleinerziehender Vater zweier Kinder: Kompromisslos ging der «Mann, der keinen Schlaf kannte», seinen Weg. Er widmete sich nicht nur der Literatur anderer, sondern war auch selbst Schriftsteller. Bisher unveröffentlichte Manuskripte und Tagebucheintragungen g...

The Spoken Word Revolution Redux
From its earliest days to today, poetry has always been a spoken art. On the page and out loud, poetry is the home for the brilliant, the rebellious, the artists and performers who are changing the world.

In the tradition of The Spoken Word Revolution, Redux brings more of the gripping, moving, innovative, often hilarious poetry in the oral tradition. This redefining collection gathers multiple forms of "spoken word" under the same motley tent—slam, hip-hop, musical interpretations, and youth movements among them. The resulting brew is both satisfying and world-expanding. On...
