Written by internationally recognized scholars, this comprehensive reference book explores the history and development of Indian writers, their major contributions, and the critical reception accorded to them. The Routledge Encyclopedia of Indian Writing in English will be a valuable resource to students, teachers, and academics navigating the vast area of contemporary world literature.
This classic text sets a standard in this subject by outlining the scientific aspects that underlie pathological processes, relating these to specific organ systems and placing all in a context that the student of medicine or pathology can appreciate, understand and enjoy. The clearly defined and easy-to-follow structure, enhanced by numerous photographs and explanatory line diagrams, focuses on core material without neglecting novel concepts and up-to-the minute detail. A one-stop-shop in pathology, it reflects fully the integration of pathology into clinical teaching whether system or problem-based, and will take the student right through medical school and beyond to postgraduate training.
Covid's Metamorphosis is a cutaway view of the masculine heart.Follow writer/polymath Sam Tsohonis on a week-long vacation in Hollywood -- an often hilarious voyage filled with psychedelic drugs, movie sets, strip clubs, porn stars, and momentary brushes with Divinity -- as he masterfully fails to reverse an extensive sexual dry spell.An impressive sequence of synchronistic events leads the author into an eventual self-diagnosis of the dilemmas that ail him, ultimately implicating his parents and the world.In all seriousness, this book attempts from a number of angles to discuss the present state of the human experience, from the perspective of a red-blooded American male. One whom you might come to view as surprisingly intersectional in his identity, by the time you've finished reading.In the end, Covid's Metamorphosis is a call to compassion, between men and women. It's a plea to Americans, to remember what it was like when we were nicer to one another. It's an invitation to take heart, and to unite against the powers in the world that seek to deny us our humanity.
