Drop A Novel
Andy : The rocking "tough" guy from the USA who's trying to let go of a painful past . Nitya : A breath of fresh air who puts a smile on everyone's face. In zigzags of life, she's trying to find direction. Pragnya : An inquisitive and persistent journalist. The story is her goal, and she won't stop until she gets it. Swaroop : The silent and comflicted seeker who constantly questions the mystery of life. Yatri : The enigmatic photographer. You'll think about what he said long after he said it ; and you'll think about what he didn't say even longer. Join the gang as they take a journey within. Follow them as their backpack full of questions and discover a treasure trove of answers on an adventure filled road trip. Whether it's having a jallebi-eating contest in Varanasi or white water rafting in Rishikesh, each place presents its own challenge, showing each of characters what they need to drop in life in order to move forward... Dare to question... What do YOU have to 'drop' in order to evolve?"
Four Passions
Author Wallace Peters is a renowned medical scientist in his 80s whose main interest is tropical medicine. In 2007, he and his Swiss wife, Ruth, moved into a peaceful retirement village in the English countryside. Nine months later Ruth succumbed to cancer. After Ruth's death, Wallace came to learn that the 200 residents in the community had a wide range of backgrounds. He realized that many of them, irrespective of their former careers, struggled to find a direction in their lives. Some, learning of the author's own career, asked to hear more. Hoping to restore their interest in their own existences, Wallace set out to describe his and Ruth's experience of their own lives post-retirement and their positive lifestyle. Four Passions: Conversations with Myself is a frank account, describing the psychological pitfalls that many couples encounter after one or both are obliged to "retire." In today's world, an ever-increasing number of us will face an unprecedentedly long period of seniority. This story offers an optimistic perspective on the pleasures of "old age."

Progress in Drug Research / Fortschritte der Arzneimittelforschung / Progrès des recherches pharmaceutiques
Volume 26 of 'Progress in Drug Research' contains 10 articles, a subject index for this volume, an alphabetic subject index for volumes 1-26, and an author and subject index for all the volumes which have so far been published. The contributions of volume 26 cover a wide field of drug research and therapy, and some are directed towards tropical deseases. As in previous volumes, the authors have also tried not only to summa rise the current status of particular fields of drug research, but also to provide leads for future research activity. The articles in this volume will be of special value not only to those actively engaged in resolving the diverse problems in drug research, but also to those who wish to keep abrest of the latest developments influencing modern therapy. In addition, it is believed that the 26 volumes of "Progress in Drug Research" now available represent a useful reference work of an encyclo paedic character.
Trends in Drug Research III
The tradition of setting new trends in medicinal chemistry continued at the 13th Symposium where topics included chemical and biological diversity, new paradigms in drug action, and new insights in receptor mechanisms. Other topics of great interest discussed, and included in these proceedings, are the discoveries in green chemistry, the interface between organic synthesis and biosynthesis, the growing problem of resistant micro-organisms and the possibilities to identify new, and better, antibiotics. And finally, in recent developments, the discovery of small molecules with insulin sensitizing properties.
Mechanism of Action of Antimicrobial and Antitumor Agents
This volume is the third in the series devoted to Antibiotics initiated by Springer Verlag in 1967. The first two volumes were devoted to the Mode of Action of Antibiotics and Biogenesis, respectively and were received graciously. During the intervening years these two works have been used often by research workers and students alike and have been quoted extensively. Although a number of other excellent treatises on antibiotics have appeared, the Springer series has set a standard for thoroughness and quality that meets the need of the scientific community. It is against this background that the present Editors set about the preparation of a third volume in the Series on Antibiotics. Since t...

Biosciences 2000: Current Aspects And Prospects Into The Next Millenium
As the new millennium approaches, it is appropriate to ask how far medicine and the life sciences have brought us, and to wonder how specific fields will develop over the next decade or so.This volume gathers together a number of leading scientists to give a bird's eye view of their field. Much of the emphasis is on cancer, microbial infections and immunology, because these are some of the most rapidly advancing areas of research. However, the book is wide-ranging and interdisciplinary, and covers topics as diverse as reproductive health technology, animal-to-human transplants, drug resistance, non-invasive diagnosis by magnetic resonance, novel membrane technology, and carbon nanotubes. The graduate student faced with a decision regarding his or her future topic of research could do worse than browse through this collection of articles by experts in the field.
