Beschreibung

In Marrow Memory Margaret Nowaczyk explores different facets of her life, from listening to the radio dramas of her childhood in Communist Poland to her work as a pediatric clinical geneticist. These are beautifully crafted essays, full of hard-won truths and insights, generously shared with the reader. Whether struggling with English as a teenaged refugee or documenting the process of permanent hair dye, Nowaczyk moves seamlessly between scientific and personal writing, bridging the gap between these two areas with elegance and humour. Marrow Memory is an invitation to the reader to marvel in the unexpected beauties of human experience and the ability of language to capture that.

    Rhinophyma is a chronic and progressive skin condition that primarily affects the nose, causing it to become enlarged, red, and bulbous. Often associated with rosacea, rhinophyma is more commonly seen in individuals with a history of this inflammatory skin disorder. While rosacea presents as a facial rash with redness and visible blood vessels, rhinophyma is characterized by thickening of the skin, resulting in a noticeably distorted and often disfigured appearance of the nose. This condition, though not life-threatening, can significantly impact a person’s self-esteem and social interactions, as it alters their physical appearance and may carry social stigmas. 
    Historically, rhinophyma was misunderstood and even ridiculed in various cultures, with little regard for its medical implications. In the past, it was often associated with excessive alcohol consumption, as the condition was more commonly seen in individuals who exhibited symptoms of rosacea, a disorder that sometimes coincided with alcoholism. This led to misconceptions about the causes and nature of rhinophyma, further complicating its recognition and treatment. Today, however, medical research has brought a more thorough understanding of rhinophyma, emphasizing its underlying causes and the role of rosacea in its development. 
    The exact cause of rhinophyma remains uncertain, but it is believed to be the result of a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. While rhinophyma is more common in individuals with a family history of rosacea, other factors such as skin irritation, exposure to extreme temperatures, and sun damage may also contribute to its onset. Hormonal changes, particularly during periods of increased testosterone, may also play a significant role in the development of this condition, which is why it is more common in middle-aged and older men than in women.

    The Camino de Santiago has been a journey for pilgrims for more than 1,000 years, testing—to varying degrees—their spirit, faith, and physical endurance. Lyndon Penner’s attention lies elsewhere.

    Brimming with wry observations—of nature, himself, and other pilgrims on the road—The Way of the Gardener reveals the beauty and the darkness of the human condition while underscoring the deeply fascinating nature of nature itself. This textured work makes for perfect armchair—or garden—reading.
