Описание: The author of the instant New York Times bestseller This Tender Land returns with a powerful prequel to his acclaimed Cork O'Connor series--a book about fathers and sons, long-simmering conflicts in a small Minnesota town, and the events that echo through youth and shape our lives forever. Aurora is a small town nestled in the ancient forest alongside the shores of Minnesota's Iron Lake. In the summer of 1963, it is the whole world to twelve-year-old Cork O'Connor, its rhythms as familiar as his own heartbeat. But when Cork stumbles upon the body of a man he revered hanging from a tree in an abandoned logging camp, it is the first in a series of events that will cause him to question everything he took for granted about his hometown, his family, and himself. Cork's father, Liam O'Connor, is Aurora's sheriff and it is his job to confirm that the man's death was the result of suicide, as all the evidence suggests. In the shadow of his father's official investigation, Cork begins to look for answers on his own. Together, father and son face the ultimate test of choosing between what their heads tell them is true and what their hearts know is right. In this masterful story of a young man and a town on the cusp of change, beloved novelist William Kent Krueger shows that some mysteries can be solved even as others surpass our understanding.

Описание: The greatest criminal masterminds of our time appear to be acting in concert but with a surprising plan that seeks to achieve more good than the JLA ever could.
Drawing on comparative literature, ritual and performance studies, and the history of asceticism, Derek Krueger explores how early Christian writers came to view writing as salvific, as worship through the production of art. Exploring the emergence of new and distinctly Christian ideas about authorship in late antiquity, Writing and Holiness probes saints' lives and hymns produced in the Greek East to reveal how the ascetic call to imitate Christ's humility rendered artistic and literary creativity problematic. In claiming authority and power, hagiographers appeared to violate the saintly practices that they sought to promote. Christian writers meditated within their texts on these tensions and ultimately developed a new set of answers to the question "What is an author?" Each of the texts examined here used writing as a technique for the representation of holiness. Some are narrative representations of saints that facilitate veneration; others are collections of accounts of miracles, composed to publicize a shrine. Rather than viewing an author's piety as a barrier to historical inquiry, Krueger argues that consideration of writing as a form of piety opens windows onto new modes of practice. He interprets Christian authors as participants in the religious system they described, as devotees, monastics, and faithful emulators of the saints, and he shows how their literary practice integrated authorship into other Christian practices, such as asceticism, devotion, pilgrimage, liturgy, and sacrifice. In considering the distinctly literary contributions to the formation of Christian piety in late antiquity, Writing and Holiness uncovers Christian literary theories with implications for both Eastern and Western medieval literatures.

Описание:
Lucas Behr lives a life of adventure, traveling to exotic locations for his photojournalism work and to satisfy his own restlessness. Unanchored by familial connections or friendships, it has allowed him tremendous freedom, but it has also left him adrift and searching for something more.
When a chance meeting with a young journalist, Maggie, develops into something more, it seems he has found what he was seekingsomeone with whom to share in the journey. Still, he is restless. Unable to shake the memories of the bridges he has burned, he sets about rebuilding them in his own imperfect way. Some hurts prove deep and difficult to mend, though, while he must be cautious to avoid causing further hurt along the way.
Reconciliation and forgiveness can be hard to give but, sometimes, even harder to ask for. Lucas must first learn to get out of his own way in order to give more fully of himself to others.

Описание:
In 1994, while nations everywhere stood idly by, 800,000 people were slaughtered in eight weeks in Rwanda. Arriving as U.S. Ambassador to neighboring Burundi a few weeks later, Bob Krueger began drawing international attention to the genocide also proceeding in Burundi, where he sought to minimize the killing and to preserve its fledgling democratic government from destruction by its own army. From Bloodshed to Hope in Burundi is a compelling eyewitness account of both a horrific and persistent genocide and of the ongoing efforts of many courageous individuals to build a more just society.
Krueger and his wife Kathleen graphically document the slaughter occurring all around them, as well as their repeated efforts to get the U.S. government and the international community to take notice and take action. Bob Krueger reconstructs the events of the military coup that precipitated the Burundi genocide and describes his efforts to uncover the truth by digging up graves and interviewing survivors. In straightforward and powerful language, Kathleen Krueger recounts her family's experience living amid civil war, including when she faced down a dozen AK-47-wielding African soldiers to save the life of a household worker.
From Bloodshed to Hope in Burundi shines a piercing light on a genocide that has gone largely unreported, and identifies those responsible for it. It also offers hope that as the truth emerges and the perpetrators are brought to account, the people of Burundi will at last achieve peace and reconciliation.

Описание: Cytokines are commonly referred to as the "language of intercellular interaction" since they send signals and commands to the cells to perform certain functions. In this compilation, the authors discuss how cytokines have demonstrated different patterns of production and interaction with other cytokines; therefore, cytokines can be considered as diagnostical markers and possible targets for therapeutic measures. The authors illuminate the role of cytokines in different physiological circumstances affecting the onset, development and resolution of inflammation associated with inflammatory bowel disease. The administration of cytokines as therapeutics has proven potential in the treatment of cancer and infectious and non-infectious disease. The authors discuss cytokine profiles and their signaling in the autoimmune disease Guillain-Barre syndrome, and the potential of using this specific information for developing new therapeutic strategies. The concluding study focuses on malignant breast cancer, the most common cancer in women worldwide. In recent decades, many advances have occurred in understanding the role of cytokines in this cancer, with several studies on new diagnostic and prognostic markers and their applications as a target in treatment.
