Synopsis

Cancer is a disease responsible for several million annual deaths among humans, worldwide. However, advances in healthcare - which include breakthroughs in science and medicine as well as access to medical treatment -  have improved the survival rate of cancer patients over the last few decades. 
Therapeutic Revolution relates the story of one of the great scientific tales of the twentieth century: how the field of medical oncology was created and its development owing to medical and scientific breakthroughs. The book unfolds the pre-clinical and clinical concepts and innovations that led to the creation of the medical subspecialty now known as medical oncology. 
Therapeutic Revolution is the first book ever written on the events that led to this subspecialty of internal medicine. It relates the recollection of key events obtained from interviews of the pioneers who laid the foundations of medical oncology, as well as the author’s own experience of the pre-specialty era of medical practice. 
The book is essential reading for medical oncologists and for all readers interested in the history of cancer treatment and also serves as a historical primer for medical students learning oncology.

  • Free Speech and Turbulent Freedom - The Dangerous Allure of Censorship in the Digital Era - cover

    Free Speech and Turbulent...

    A vast censorship regime has smothered America's digital marketplace of ideas, squelching free speech on vital policy issues. Its supporters regard its benefits as morally and politically beyond question. They contend it's carried out by private social media platforms, not governmental authorities. 
 
 
 
In Free Speech and Turbulent Freedom, Michael J. Glennon offers a timely and incisive response. The censors are short-sighted, he argues. Quibbling over outdated distinctions misses the real threat—which is the fusion of public and private power into a modern-day cartel able to overleap longstanding constitutional safeguards. American democracy, he argues, rests on a decentralized marketplace of ideas independent of the government. In crisp, trenchant terms, Glennon shows how concrete practical concerns justify protecting admittedly harmful online speech—even speech that advocates violence or embraces hatred or apparent falsehood. 
 
 
 
To safely self-correct, democracy requires open channels of political communication. Glennon calls on the courts to unblock those channels—to measure such speech against enduring First Amendment precepts rather than pliable international norms—and to protect the speech interests not merely of the government and Big Tech, but of all participants in the marketplace of ideas.

    Expand your mind and shift your vantage point on reality with Why Matter Doesn't Matter — a paradigm-shifting exploration of physics and consciousness.  
 
Drawing on insights from modern physics like relativity and quantum mechanics, Samuel Avery builds a compelling case that consciousness itself is fundamental — and that space, time, and the familiar dimensions we experience are phenomena arising within consciousness rather than existing as an external physical reality. 
 
Avery provides a new lens for understanding the greatest enigmas of physics, helping listeners transcend the limitation of seeing the universe as purely material and question the foundations upon which our current paradigms rest. 
In the final chapter, Avery invites listeners to embark on an experiential journey — a practical approach to directly experiencing the dimensional nature of perception and reality as rooted in consciousness itself.  
 
Whether you're a curious newcomer, a student of physics, or a spiritual seeker, Why Matter Doesn't Matter offers a paradigm-shifting exploration into the very fabric of existence, shedding new light on the mysteries of the universe and our role within it.

    An exploration of the Anthropocene and “a relentless reckoning of how we, as a species, got ourselves into the mess we’re in today” (The Wall Street Journal). 
 
Meteorites, mega-volcanoes, and plate tectonics—the old forces of nature—have transformed Earth for millions of years. They are now joined by a new geological force—humans. Our actions have driven Earth into a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene. For the first time in our home planet's 4.5-billion-year history a single species is increasingly dictating Earth’s future. 
 
To some the Anthropocene symbolizes a future of superlative control of our environment. To others it is the height of hubris, the illusion of our mastery over nature. Whatever your view, just below the surface of this odd-sounding scientific word—the Anthropocene—is a heady mix of science, philosophy, history, and politics linked to our deepest fears and utopian visions. 
 
Tracing our environmental impacts through time, scientists Simon Lewis and Mark Maslin reveal a new view of human history and a new outlook for the future of humanity in the unstable world we have created.
