I Am the River
During the last desperate days of the Vietnam War, American soldier Israel Broussard is assigned to a secret CIA PSYOP far behind enemy lines meant to drive terror into the heart of the North Vietnamese and end an unwinnable war. When the mission goes sideways, Broussard is plunged into a nightmare that he soon finds he is unable to escape, dragging a remnant of that night in the Laotian wilderness with him no matter how far he runs. Five years later, too damaged to return home and holed up in the slums of Bangkok, where he battles sleep, guilt, and a creeping sense of madness, Broussard discovers that he must journey back to the jungles of Laos in an attempt to set things right and reclaim what is left of his life. A fever dream with a Benzedrine chaser, I Am The River provides a daring, often surreal examination of the Vietnam War and the days after it, burrowing down past the bullets and battlefields to discover the lingering horror of warfare, the human consequences of organized violence, and the lasting effects of trauma on the psyche, and the soul.

T-Cell Subsets and Cytokines Interplay in Infectious Diseases
Presenting a wealth of new data on the interaction among T-cell subsets and cytokines, this book offers a fresh perspective on infectious diseases. It provides useful insights into the nature and treatment of helminthic and mycobacterial infections, with special emphasis on leprosy, leishmaniasis, malaria and trypanosomiasis. The outcome of the host response to infectious agent is seen as depending upon the T-cell subsets activated and the cytokines produced by them and other cells, such as macrophages, B cells and basophils. Experts contributions shed new light on how TH0 cells are preferentially activated and differentiated into TH1 or TH2 subsets; TH1 and TH2 cells and their cytokines induce both protective immune responses and adverse immune reactions to infectious agents; cytokines modulate the response of infectious diseases to chemotherapy; and cytokines, their receptors and antagonist, and anti-cytokine antibodies can be used in therapy. Those working in the fields of immunology, parasitology, microbiology and vaccine development particularly if they are interested in tropical diseases, will find the volume an invaluable source of information.

Virtual Art
An overview of the art historical antecedents to virtual reality and the impact of virtual reality on contemporary conceptions of art. Although many people view virtual reality as a totally new phenomenon, it has its foundations in an unrecognized history of immersive images. Indeed, the search for illusionary visual space can be traced back to antiquity. In this book, Oliver Grau shows how virtual art fits into the art history of illusion and immersion. He describes the metamorphosis of the concepts of art and the image and relates those concepts to interactive art, interface design, agents, telepresence, and image evolution. Grau retells art history as media history, helping us to understa...
