Biomedical Odysseys
Thousands of people from more than eighty countries have traveled to China since 2001 to undergo fetal cell transplantation. Galvanized by the potential of stem and fetal cells to regenerate damaged neurons and restore lost bodily functions, people grappling with paralysis and neurodegenerative disorders have ignored the warnings of doctors and scientists back home in order to stake their futures on a Chinese experiment. Biomedical Odysseys looks at why and how these individuals have entrusted their lives to Chinese neurosurgeons operating on the forefront of experimental medicine, in a world where technologies and risks move faster than laws can keep pace. Priscilla Song shows how cutting-e...
Forever Yours
Forever Yours, A Song To A Child is a read-aloud rhymed picture book which shares a parent's timeless and unconditional love for her child -- simply the most important message a child will ever receive. It is designed to be read with a child any time, anywhere -- during the day or at bedtime, during a hospital stay, in a car or on a plane when home is far away, and during life's uncertain moments. Filled with images and metaphors from a child's innocent landscape, transported on rhymes that are always love-filled, Forever Yours will touch your child's soul forever. This beautiful "song" will bring a tear to every parent's eye. Join author Priscilla Hart as she puts into words just how special our children are to us. Using rhyming phrases and imagery redolent of a wonderful time in the relationship between parent and child, Hart's song will find its echo in your own life . . . and those of the little ones you love, even if, perhaps especially if, they are not so little anymore. The beautiful illustrations by Michael LaVoy enhance the poignancy of the words, so that the two, text and pictures, combine to create a book that will hold a special place in your heart . . . forever.
On the Line
A Chorus Line, the biggest Broadway hit of its generation, is based on a remarkable series of taped discussions made in the mid 1970s with some of the top “gypsies” (veteran Broadway dancers), many of whom went on to play characters based on themselves in the Tony- and Pulitzer-winning musical. In many ways, On the Line: The Creation of “A Chorus Line” is a continuation of the show itself. In this collective oral history, the 19 original cast members tell how they got involved with the project, how they labored through the months of workshops that shaped it, and what its success has meant for their lives and careers. They paint intimate and frank portraits of co-creators Michael Bennett, Joseph Papp, Ed Kleban – and each other. Originally published in 1990, the book has been updated to continue telling their stories until 2006. Wayne Cilento (“I Can Do That”) has become a Tony-winning choreographer of shows like Wicked and Aida; Kelly Bishop (“Can the adults smoke?”) has become a TV star; Trish Garland has become a California fitness guru, and so forth.

Stem Cell Research in Asia
The great hurry to realise promised cures in stem cell research requires regulation to guarantee bioethical research practices. Yet, increasingly similar national guidelines for stem cell research yields a range of diverging research practices. This book shows how the different rationale of regulation affects stem cell research practices in Asia. In low- and medium income countries such as India and China the advancement of science has a different weight on the national agenda, and the evaluation of scientific research is measured with a different yardstick, depending on the political and national research environment. For developing countries the question of research funding into stem cell ...
