    Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First published in 1990: The book examines the relationship between age and the development of cancer from different angles, with a comprehensive approach that has not been used previously. The multiple pathways at the cellular and tissue levels that can lead to a neoplastic growth are described in detail, explaining the variable delay between cancer initiation and the clinical manifestations. The time that elapses between exposure to the carcinogen and the clinical incidence of different neoplasiae is exemplified through a review of epidemiological studies with atomic bomb survivors and environment-related cancers. The developmental phenomena and the genetic determinants that may lead to or retard the progression of cancer through the life span of the organism are emphasized, illustrating the very dynamic processes that involve neoplastic growth where new variables are continuously created.…

    Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Jack Beilis once lived the American dream: custom suits, new cars, and the best clubs. But by 1931, he has sunk so low he cannot feed himself or his ailing father. Now he barely has time to wipe the blood from his hands before he finds himself on a ship from New York to Moscow, running from a crime he never intended.Desperate for an escape route, Jack wants to believe stories of a worker?s paradise in the Soviet Union. Maybe the distance between Ellis Island and Red Square will let him leave poverty?and his pursuers?far behind. Jack accepts an opportunity at the Gorky Ford Factory and embarks on a new life.What he finds, though, is a surveillance society, empty store shelves, and a dangerous network of black markets. There seems to be no way out, until Jack meets Dr. Natasha Lobanova. Could this Russian beauty be his deliverance? When Natasha?s own dark history surfaces, Jack?s fate is threatened. With betrayals and secrets everywhere, Jack struggles to trust anyone or anything?even his own heart.…

Juan Villoro has selected and written a prologue for this collection, originally published in five books that influenced an entire generation of writers and brought about a renewal of Latin American prose.…

    Paperback. Condition: Good. By following the instructions in this book, you will become the manufacturer of an idea. This book is an instruction manual for a product that only exists if you build it. Here are the instructions. I have designed this device so that you can produce your food, using some inexpensive Ikea boxes and the directions in this book. This system uses hydroponics, a farming technique that can be used to grow plants in water instead of soil. The reason for using hydroponics is very simple: hydroponics allows you to save up to the 90% of the water used in traditional agriculture systems, requires much less space, and provides you with full control of the nutrients needed by the plants at each stage of their growth. Another great thing about hydroponics is that you don't have to worry about watering the plants. The system I have designed combines different hydroponics techniques. These are adapted to make them easy to use at home. This means that you become a farmer, perhaps an urban farmer. However, this book is not a book on urban farming, nor is it a general book about hydroponics. This book is a manual that will show you how to build and run a simple hydroponic system with some inexpensive Ikea boxes. I call this system ELIOOO.…

    Paperback. Condition: Good. A few weeks after turning 41, Eve decides to chronicle her efforts to lose weight. Every day is a different reason to keep up her struggle to eat less candy, eat more veggies, and go for a walk. This river of consciousness memoir details her struggles with morbid obesity, infertility, raising two autistic boys, and battling depression. The book is sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking, and always real. From the book: I turned 41 years old a few weeks ago. This birthday hit me in a big way. I weigh about 330 pounds. Because of my weight, I have had problems with my menstrual period. A sensitive gynecologist told me in passing that I was barren. I have tried to have a baby since I married Antonio in 2015. I take progesterone shots, the pills, the Clomid. Nothing. And it's all because of my 330 pounds. It's all because of me. It's all because I am a failure at self control and eating right. I am a failure at daily exercise. I am a failure at life. I am a failure at becoming a mother. I am a failure at being a woman. If I wasn't so busy working full time and being a stepmom to two amazing boys, I could get super depressed about this. But on occasion, when I have a moment to myself, these thoughts rumble around my addled mind. I have wanted to give up trying to have a baby. As much as I want the joy of having a baby, the pain of not having a baby is overwhelming. And so I stopped taking my monthly progesterone shots because shots aren't fun. But without them, I find myself endlessly bleeding. January, in addition to being the advent of my 41st birthday, was also a time for the never ending flu/bronchitis and non-stop menstrual bleeding. Imagine being feverish and coughing so much that giant clots of blood fall out of your body. That was January. Finally, I had the presence of mind to awaken from my cycle of misery and ask my husband to shoot progesterone into my hip. It had been a while. I laid sideways at the end of the bed while he prepared the needle. I tried to distract myself with my phone. He felt for my waist with his large calloused hands. He has to find the top of the waist, then spread his hand back towards my butt and put the needle in a muscle that resides at the top of my buttox. Instead of putting the needle into the muscle, he put it into a nerve in my hip. It felt like fire. I screamed, I yelled, I swore. He pulled it out and put it in the right place, but the place where he put the needle still burned and something about the needle penetrating the nerve unleashed every horrible feeling I'd been trying to hide from him. I sobbed and cried out, I'm such a loser Over and over again. I'm a loser I think you have to know me to know the depth of the strangeness of those words. I have never been accused of self-deprecation or a lack of self-confidence. I loathe self-deprecation. And I don't see the point in pretending to lack self-confidence. I am pretty good at most things. And if I'm not, I'm perfectly content being bad at those things. 'Perfect' being the operative word. To try and be good at EVERYTHING would be illogical and impractical. The needle burned into my nerves and produced screaming and language far-fetched for a woman of my confidence. How was it possible for me to scream such foulness? But my weird dark secret was out. I saw myself as a loser. …

    Paperback. Condition: Fair. A clear-eyed look at the instrumental role drugs have played in our cultural, social, and spiritual development. - First American publication of the surprising European bestseller. - Examines everything from the ancient use of ergot and datura to the modern phenomenon of designer drugs such as Ecstasy and crack cocaine. From remotest antiquity to the present era of designer drugs and interdiction, drugs have played a prominent role in the cultural, spiritual, and social development of civilizations. Antonio Escohotado demonstrates how the history of drugs illuminates the history of humanity as he explores the long relationship between mankind and mind-altering substances. Hemp, for example, has been used in India since time immemorial to stimulate mental agility and sexual prowess. Aristotle's disciple Theophrastus testifies to the use of datura by the ancient Greeks and further evidence links the rites at Eleusis to the ingestion of a hallucinogen. Similar examples can be found in cultures as diverse as the Celts, the ancient Egyptians, the Aztecs, and other indigenous peoples around the world. Professor Escohotado also looks at the present-day differences that exist between the more drug-tolerant societies like Holland and Switzerland and countries advocating complete repression of these substances. The author provides a comprehensive analysis of the enormous social costs of the drug war that is coming under increasing fire from all levels of society. Professor Escohotado's work demonstrates that drugs have always existed and been used by societies throughout the world and the contribution they have made to humanity's development has been enormous. The choice we face today is to teach people how to use them correctly or to continue to indiscriminately demonize them. Just say no, the author says, is not an option. Just say know is. Antonio Escohotado is a professor of philosophy and social science methodology at the National University of Distance Education in Madrid, Spain. He travels widely, offering lectures and seminars on the subject of drugs and history.…
