Immunization Against Alzheimer's Disease and Other Neurodegenerative Disorders (Research and Perspectives in Alzheimer's Disease)

Francine Craft


Immunization Against Alzheimer's Disease and Other Neurodegenerative Disorders (Research and Perspectives in Alzheimer's Disease) Francine Craft Book DescriptionPromising effects in mice of immunization by ?-amyloid stimulated substantial research efforts and high hopes. In retrospect, this study appears simultaneously logical, consistent as it is with the amyloid theory central today in thefield of Alzheimer's disease studies, and paradoxical, because it involved using the toxic substance itself for a treatment benefit. The research thus begun opens up multiple perspectives for experimentation and for treatment. Clinical trials began, but had to be stopped in January 2002 because of serious side effects. The editors' objective for this book is not to arouse false hopes for a therapeutic project that must still be proven, but to discuss the available information and the questions it raises. книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Book DescriptionPromising effects in mice of immunization by ?-amyloid stimulated substantial research efforts and high hopes.

Broken Music: A Memoir

Sting


Broken Music: A Memoir Sting Book DescriptionHaving been a songwriter most of my life, condensing my ideas and emotions into short rhyming couplets and setting them to music, I had never really considered writing a book. But upon arriving at the reflective age of fifty, I found myself drawn, for the first time, to write long passages that were as stimulating and intriguing to me as any songwriting I had ever done. And so Broken Music began to take shape. It is a book about the early part of my life, from childhood through adolescence, right up to the eve of my success with the Police. It is a story very few people know. I had no interest in writing a traditional autobiographical recitation of everything that’s ever happened to me. Instead I found myself drawn to exploring specific moments, certain people and relationships, and particular events which still resonate powerfully for me as I try to understand the child I was, and the man I became. книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Book DescriptionHaving been a songwriter most of my life, condensing my ideas and emotions into short rhyming couplets and setting them to music, I had never really considered writing a book.

Sticking to the Union : An Oral History of the Life and Times of Julia Ruuttila (Palgrave Studies in Oral History)

Sandy Polishuk


Sticking to the Union : An Oral History of the Life and Times of Julia Ruuttila (Palgrave Studies in Oral History) Sandy Polishuk Book Description Although married four times, Julia Ruuttila claimed that the love of her life was not a man but a union. From her Industrial Workers of the World origins to the CIO, the International Woodworkers of America, and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, she stuck to unions throughout her long and vibrant life. A well known labor activist and journalist in the Pacific Northwest, Ruuttila chose the picket sign and the typewriter as her chief weapons. She possessed a tireless passion for workers and their struggles, whether founding a committee to free the last Wobbly prisoner from the Centralia Tragedy, leading the Ladies' Auxiliary of the IWA during an eight-and-a-half month lockout, or coming before the House Un-American Activities Committee. At the same time, her everyday hardships were not unlike many other working class women of her era: abusive husbands, illegal abortions, poverty, and single motherhood. In the premier title of Palgrave... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Book Description Although married four times, Julia Ruuttila claimed that the love of her life was not a man but a union.
