This book presents important leading-edge research on stomach cancer. Stomach cancer (also called "gastric cancer") is the growth of cancer cells in the lining and wall of the stomach. Stomach cancer represents roughly 2% (25,500) cases of all new cancer cases yearly in the United States, but it is much more common in Japan, Great Britain, South America, and Iceland. It is associated with high salt in the diet, smoking, and low intake of fruits and vegetables. Infection with H. pylori is the main risk factor in about 80% or more of gastric cancers. It is more common in men. A very small percentage of diffuse-type gastric cancers are thought to be genetic. Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer (HDGC) has only recently been identified and research is ongoing, but genetic testing and treatment options are available for families at risk. Metastasis occurs in 80-90% of individuals with stomach cancer, with a five year survival rate of 75% in those diagnosed in early stages and less than 30% of those diagnosed in late stages.

This book is an account of the centuries of experiment and speculation that have led to our understanding of how muscles work.

Il Tunnel (The Tunnel) è il quarto volume della pionieristica serie di romanzi semi-autobiografici Pilgrimage di Dorothy M. Richardson. In questo, il più lungo dei tredici romanzi, Miriam Henderson si trasferisce in una stanza ammobiliata a Bloomsbury, Londra, dove inizia una vita indipendente e trova lavoro in uno studio dentistico. Riflettendo lo sviluppo di Miriam, il Tunnel è più sperimentale e meno vincolato alla struttura narrativa e cronologica tradizionale, offrendo invece una rappresentazione pura del flusso di coscienza di Miriam—un termine coniato dalla scrittrice May Sinclair per descrivere i primi tre libri di Richardson. Nella sua recensione di The Tunnel, Virginia Woolf definì Richardson «una delle rare romanzieri che credono che il romanzo sia così vivo da crescere realmente».

Dorothy Moore (born c. 1612, died c. 1664), wrote a considerable number of letters on intellectual, political and domestic matters, many of which are presented in this edition. The topics on which she wrote extensively include education, religion, politics, and-most tellingly, the position of women. The letters are interesting primarily for the light they shed on the life of a independent woman of modest means, yet considerable social contacts, during the Commonwealth period. The edition offers biographical material never previously compiled for Moore with an interpretive essay, a bibliography of related texts, and the letters in chronological order with background names and places footnoted in some detail.
