Capillarity phenomena are all about us; anyone who has seen a drop of dew on a plant leaf or the spray from a waterfall has observed them. Apart from their frequently remarked poetic qualities, phenomena of this sort are so familiar as to escape special notice. In this sense the rise of liquid in a narrow tube is a more dramatic event that demands and at first defied explanation; recorded observations of this and similar occur rences can be traced back to times of antiquity, and for lack of expla nation came to be described by words deriving from the Latin word "capillus", meaning hair. It was not until the eighteenth century that an awareness developed that these and many other phenomena are all manifestations of some thing that happens whenever two different materials are situated adjacent to each other and do not mix. If one (at least) of the materials is a fluid, which forms with another fluid (or gas) a free surface interface, then the interface will be referred to as a capillary surface.

For a very few cancers, treatment options are minimally invasive, resoundingly curative, and have very few side effects. However, most cancer patients face treatment options that are less than ideal. The odds they have been given for a chance of recurrence might be frightening. Or, the "cure rate" of treatment might be good, but the side effects (short- or long-term) might be daunting.However, there's great hope on the horizon. Basic research on cell biology is finally yielding important clues about the nature of cancer, and these clues are leading directly to promising new treatments. Physicians are finding better ways to alleviate cancer pain and some of the toxic side effects of chemotherapy. Medical device companies are testing new ways to detect cancer in ever earlier stages. And researchers are even developing therapies that will prevent the development of cancer in people who are at risk.Author Robert Finn, a science and medical journalist, believes that if you are not evaluating potential experimental treatments alongside the standard treatment protocols, you aren't considering all the facts you need.Cancer Clinical Trials is aimed at helping you consider the range of treatment options available through clinical trials -- treatments that may not be available any other way. It includes:
<ul>
<li> Reasons to consider a trial (as well as reasons to decide against one)</li>
<li> Structure of clinical trials and ethical guidelines</li>
<li> Administration of trials (and what are the interests and involvement of players such as the FDA, pharmaceutical companies, the NCI, scientists)</li>
<li> Inclusion and exclusion criteria for joining a trial</li>
<li> Reading the trial protocol</li>
<li> Hard questions to ask yourself and your doctor</li>
<li> Interviews from researchers and patients</li>
</ul>

Over 64,000 people in the US are living in limbo, awaiting an organ transplant.The good news about organ transplants is that they are becoming fairly routine surgical procedures. The even better news is that they do work miracles. People who have been in ill health for years often describe a feeling of being reborn after a transplant.However, those families who have been told that a loved one needs a transplant to live are thrust into a strange land. Patients and families worry that no organ will be available to them. They may fear the surgery or what living with someone else's organ will feel like. They may have only a foggy idea of what staying with an immunosuppressive therapy regime after the operation will entail.Organ Transplants: Making the Most of Your Gift of Life describes:
<ul>
<li> Deciding whether to have a transplant and choosing a transplant team</li>
<li> The importance of the screening interview</li>
<li> What factors go into determining a match, and what to do while waiting</li>
<li> Detailed information on heart and lung, liver, kidney and pancreas, and other transplants</li>
<li> Anti-rejection drugs and living with a transplant</li>
<li> Emotional responses and support</li>
<li> Specific situations such as living donors, transplants in children, meeting the donor family, etc.</li>
</ul>Robert Finn, medical and scientific journalist and author, has interviewed dozens of patients, family members, medical caregivers, and transplant activists to present your family with the latest facts about transplantation--as well as the stories behind those facts.

Since leaving the States, Susan Milton's life has been a little quiet, but all that's about to change. A man named David Braun will contact the London School of Antiquities and ask for her help. He's on the trail of some unusual stolen property and Susan is the closest thing to an expert on its history - a blood-soaked history that goes back thousands of years. David will need all the help he can get as he finds himself working for a sinister client he does not trust and chasing a thief no one seems able to catch. Together they make a good team - both smart, capable and able to keep their heads in a crisis - which is just as well because the pair are about to find themselves in serious danger and out of their depth. Caught between the thief and the secretive organisation he stole from, they will need to discover the truth about the thief's mission if they are to stay alive - a truth that neither of them is prepared for.

Mystery

Exploring Classical Music seeks to strip away the mystery that often seems to enshroud great composers and their works, and to introduce them to the intelligent, interested layman, in a way that will bring willing listeners to them in a spirit of pure enjoyment. It is neither a learned textbook, nor a populist write-down. It is a kind of love letter to some of the music that has moved the heart and spirit of one listener over a span of some 60 years.
