Paperback. Zustand: Good. Evolution is the single most important idea in modern biology, shedding light on virtually every biological question, from the shape of orchid blossoms to the distribution of species across the planet. Until recently, however, the theory has had little impact on medical research or practice. Evolutionary Medicine shows how this is beginning to change. Collecting work from leaders in the field, this volume describes an array of new and innovative approaches to human health that are based on an appreciation of our long evolutionary history. For example, it shows how evolution helps to explain the complex relationship between our immune systems and the virulence and transmission of human viruses. It also shows how comparisons between how we live today and how our hunter-gatherer ancestors lived thousands of years ago illuminate a variety of contemporary ills, including obesity, lower-back pain, and insomnia. Evolutionary Medicine covers issues at every stage of life, from infancy (colic, jaundice, SIDS, parent-infant sleep struggles, ear infections, breast-feeding, asthma) to adulthood (sexually transmitted diseases, depression, overeating, addictions, child abuse, cardiovascular disease, breast and ovarian cancer) to old age (osteoporosis, geriatric sleep problems). Written for a wide range of students and researchers in medicine, anthropology, and psychology, it is an invaluable guide to this rapidly developing field.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Alternate histories. It's said that every choice creates multiple timelines, each one exploring what could have happened if a different decision had been made. Most of these alternate histories stem from different outcomes to a pivotal battle, or to an assassination attempt, or to the ending or escalation of a war. All violent, all bloody, all brutal. But what about those choices made during peacetime, when there was no monumental, ongoing conflict After all, everyone knows how significant the flutter of a butterfly's wings can be, how far-reaching its effects can be felt. In these pages you will find fifteen new branches of history written by some of today's greatest science fiction and fantasy writers.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Soho in the nineteen seventies was not the trendy place to visit as it is today. It was a very dark part of New York City, abandoned factory buildings dotted the neighborhood, junkies roamed the streets, graffiti was everywhere.On the morning of May 25, 1979, a boy, barely six-years old, was allowed to walk to his school bus stop alone, 'ACCORDING TO HIS MOTHER.' He never returned home. That night, NYPD's NSU II was called into action and Officer Joyce and eleven other cops were assigned to search the little boy's neighborhood. Office Joyce had a nine-month-old daughter and the thought of her disappearing propelled him into a search that spanned many years. Through his investigations he learned about the dark secrets of SoHo. The case eventually went frozen until a New Jersey man revealed his dark secret. A secret which he had kept in his mind for so many years. His revelation lead to his second trial and conviction. The trial judge sentenced the man to twenty-five years to life for a crime, the author strongly believes, he did not commit.It has been thirty-nine years since the Little Boy from Soho went missing. This highly decorated Lieutenant, is now retired, but he wants to pursue this case in court, to exonerate the man from New Jersey, and reveal the truths that have haunted him for all these years. One truth being that neither the Prosecution nor the Defense wanted the Lieutenant to testify in this case. This book will expose the truth that has been concealed for so many years.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Washington Square Park was an iconic historical tourist attraction, with its music, songs, and counterculture inhabitants. The drug culture in the park during the '70s, '80s, and '90s was part of the draw for tourists and teens to the park. NSU II's scope of responsibility included Washington Square Park. Politicians and the police always turned a blind eye to the crowds and their drug use inside the park. The police officers assigned to NSU II were instructed not to enter the park at nighttime as it was too dangerous to patrol.Officer Robert McKenna, assigned to the NSU II, made regular solo sweeps through the park despite the warnings. This was when Officer McKenna first met Slim, a park drug dealer. Slim stood six feet and nine inches tall. He was a high school basket standout at the age of seventeen. Slim was given offers from over 350 college basketball scouts to have him play for their collegiate teams.Throughout his career in the NYPD, McKenna always gravitated back to Washington Square Park. He patrolled the park unofficially when he was assigned to the NSU II. A few years later, he was the park sergeant responsible for the day-to-day operations within the park. He was successful in ridding the park of drugs for the year he supervised the cops there. Then he was promoted to lieutenant and transferred to a Brooklyn precinct.Two months later, a scathing NY Times article showed how the drugs returned to the park in McKenna's absence.The police commissioner demanded that McKenna return to the park for a once and for all park cleanup.McKenna would arrest Slim at least thirty-two times during the next seven years.Slim grew old and sickly from his constant drug abuse while McKenna knew it was his time to retire from the NYPD, but Slim, via some media friends, asked to see the lieutenant one last time as he was dying of AIDS. McKenna granted the combatant his dying wish. Their meeting lasted over four and a half hours before Slim lost his battle with AIDS that night.This book is about Slim's final hours.…
