Blake Davis und sein Ehemann Will, die im Krankenhaus auf die Geburt ihrer Tochter warten, sind froh, als Ed Fellows dort auftaucht - obwohl er vom Rugbyspielen völlig verdreckt und obendrein sturzbetrunken ist. Sein hilfsbereiter Teamkollege Colin spielt für Ed den Chauffeur, und nachdem er Ed nach Hause gebracht hat, bekommt Colin unverhofft einen Blowjob ab. Womit er eigentlich nicht das geringste Problem hat. Er ist schon lange scharf auf Ed - seitdem Ed vor vierzehn Monaten der Rugby-Mannschaft beigetreten ist, genauer gesagt. Nur dass Colin Ed bisher für hetero gehalten hatte. Doch der Mann, der ihm da einen bläst, kommt ihm keineswegs hetero vor… Womit wir beim Morgen danach wären… Beim Aufwachen findet Ed einen fast nackten Colin schlafend auf seiner Couch vor. Das Problem ist, dass er Colin aus irgendeinem Grund nicht mehr aus dem Kopf kriegen kann. Okay, Colin war nicht der erste Mann, dem Ed einen geblasen hat - und umgekehrt übrigens auch nicht - aber das ist doch schon ewig her, oder? Und warum will Ed diesmal mehr? Unterstützt und beraten von seinem Freunden Rick, Angelo, Blake und Will wagt Ed sich auf gänzlich unbekanntes Gebiet vor. Sein Lebensweg hat eine unerwartete Wende genommen, mit der er ziemlich zu kämpfen hat…

Connie Willis draws upon her understanding of the universalities of human nature to explore the ageless issues of evil, suffering, and the indomitable will of the human spirit. "A tour de force."-The New York Times Book Review For Kivrin, preparing to travel back in time to study one of the deadliest eras in humanity's history was as simple as receiving inoculations against the diseases of the fourteenth century and inventing an alibi for a woman traveling alone. For her instructors in the twenty-first century, it meant painstaking calculations and careful monitoring of the rendezvous location where Kivrin would be received. But a crisis strangely linking past and future strands Kivrin in a bygone age as her fellows try desperately to rescue her. In a time of superstition and fear, Kivrin-barely of age herself-finds she has become an unlikely angel of hope during one of history's darkest hours.

The New York Times-bestselling author delivers "a big, authentic novel" of the professional and personal challenges of three young doctors ( The New York Times). Three young men from different backgrounds have graduated from medical schools and become surgical fellows at a leading teaching hospital in Boston. They learn to become surgeons, to communicate with patients and families, and to be observed and appraised by their peers and professors on daily rounds. And each month-sometimes with dry mouth and rapid pulse-each attends the meeting of the Mortality Conference, known to all as the Death Committee, which examines every patient loss for possible human error, in order to prevent it from happening again. How the Death Committee affects and is affected by the lives, loves, and ambitions of three new doctors is the theme of this intriguing and profoundly moving novel.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that affects millions of patients worldwide and arises from the concurrent action of multiple pathophysiological processes. The power of mathematical analysis and computational modeling is increasingly utilized in basic and clinical epilepsy research to better understand the relative importance of the multi-faceted, seizure-related changes taking place in the brain during an epileptic seizure. This groundbreaking book is designed to synthesize the current ideas and future directions of the emerging discipline of computational epilepsy research. Chapters address relevant basic questions (e.g., neuronal gain control) as well as long-standing, critically important clinical challenges (e.g., seizure prediction). Computational Neuroscience in Epilepsy should be of high interest to a wide range of readers, including undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty working in the fields of basic or clinical neuroscience, epilepsy research, computational modeling and bioengineering.

This text provides the necessary tools and up-to-date information on the morphological approach and most current use of ancillary techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors. The work is divided by sub specialty areas so that the reader can easily obtain the information desired. Features of histopathological lesions are presented in each area, as well as an up-to-date use of the different immunohistochemical stains and molecular biology features, when applicable, which are commonly used to determine treatment modalities. All sub specialty sections are written by sub specialty pathologists with experience in tumor pathology and who work in a cancer center. Each chapter is richly illustrated and properly referenced. Oncological Surgical Pathology will be of use not only for pathologists (including pathology residents and fellows), but also for oncological surgeons, oncologists and interventional radiologists.

A fashionable house in a London terrace, the House of Journalists is renowned around the world as a place of refuge for exiled writers who have fallen foul of oppressive regimes. Run by Julian Snowman, successful writer and broadcaster, its fellows include the newspaper editor Mr Stan whose hands were smashed with hammers; a journalist called Mustapha who spoke out vainly against a brutal coup (and got his name from an immigration officer who tells him he 'Must 'ave a name'); Agnes, a young photojournalist who recorded her country's descent into civil war; and Sonny, who endured a harrowing journey to safety. Only one man guards his story: the new fellow, AA. A first novel of rare originality, The House of Journalists creates an unforgettable world of displacement and hubris, heartbreak and humour; it has a narrative voice that is utterly distinct, at once beguiling and disturbing.

Twenty students wrote a novel, a beautiful love story about compassion and pain. This is the product of an inspiring project that took one and a half years of generating ideas, researching, writing, and rewriting. Twenty heads agreed on a plot full of tension, emotions, and grief. LAST TRAIN TO PARIS Two young fellows whose friendship turns into forbidden love - and that is just the beginning. Lily and Nick fall in love at first sight, but their love is put to a terrible test. Belonging to different classes the only chance for them seems to be Nick’s career in the military. While Nick looses all his family, Lily is made to suffer by hers. Her father forces her into a marriage with a man she doesn’t love. Will their dream survive their separation, the war, lies, a wrong decision, and a marriage?

A remote back-to-basics mountaintop retreat in the French Alps turns deadly as an Oxford fellow finds herself in the crosshairs of her late husband’s dangerous secrets. The Chalet des Anglais should be the ideal locale for recently widowed Oxford don Emily to begin cutting through the fog of her grief. With no electricity, running water, or access by car, the rustic chalet nestled at the foot of the snow-topped Alps should afford Emily space to heal. Joining her will be a collection of friends from the university, as well as other fellows, graduates, and undergraduates. Something feels off, though, and heightens Emily’s existing anxiety. Tension among the guests is palpable and as hostilities grow, Emily begins to wonder if the chalet’s dark history has cast a shadow over the retreat. When a student disappears after Emily’s room is ransacked and someone tries to hack into her computer, Emily realizes that she had better separate friend from foe and real from imagined—or the next disappearance may be her own. . .

There are more than 63,000 new cases of uterine and endometrial cancer each year in the United States, up from approximately 41,000 when the first edition of Uterine Cancer was published in 2009. A book focusing on these cancers was timely, with emergent sophistication in diagnosis increasingly impacting clinical decision-making. However, five years later, the need for an updated book on this topic is even stronger as oncologists recognize opportunities to impact the outcome on women that are increasingly diagnosed with these malignancies. Uterine Cancer: Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment, Second Edition , part of the Current Clinical Oncology series, enhances the awareness on this somewhat neglected area of therapeutics, helping to integrate targeted therapies into the management of women with uterine cancer. Written by experts in the field in a highly practical and comprehensive manner, it is a must-have for all gynecological residents and fellows, as well as gynecological oncologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and family practice doctors who wish to provide their patients with the best possible care.
