Reviews'The River Kings' Road is the intriguingly twisted tale oftreachery and magic behind a brutal massacre and theimpacts this unspeakable act has on the two survivors, onthose who perpetrated it, on those who investigated it, andon those who tried to turn it to even more evil ends. It'salso a tale that examines unsparingly the issue of to whatdegree the ends justify the means . . . or not.'—L. E. Modesitt, Jr., New York Times bestsellingauthor of The Saga of Recluce series, Amazon Reviews:""As usual, a great book by a great author. I read everything Perri Klass writes.""""Perri Klass just can't write a bad book... Perri tells it like it is--like a guided tour through the mind of a doctor."", 'The River Kings' Road drew me in with the characters, allof whom felt real and reacted realistically for the setting. . . .The heroes are heroic because of the choices they make ontheir journey, choices that would test the very best . . . andworst . . . in all of us. . . . It's a story where the simplestchoice could have drastic consequences, and where thelowliest of peasants can change the fate of a kingdom.'—Joshua Palmatier, author of The Vacant Throne

Edition DescriptionRevised edition

SynopsisWith a particular emphasis on tumor dormancy in breast, lung, prostate, and liver cancers, as well as in melanoma, this first volume of a new Springer series focuses on the interrelationship between biological processes of aging and tumors--both dormant and quiescent. With detail supplied by numerous international researchers at the forefront of cancer research, the book examines a host of differing aspects of the topic. Featured contributions analyze the role of the quiescent state in regulating hematopoietic and muscle stem cells. They also explore the mediation, by the kinase, in the reversible quiescent state of a subset of ovarian, pancreatic, and colon cancers. The book includes key research on the molecular mechanisms underlying stress-induced cellular senescence, in addition to those governing the accumulation of reactive oxygen species, and the induction of premature senescence. It also provides information on suppressing cellular senescence in the most common, and most aggressive malignant primary brain tumor in humans, glioblastoma multiforme. With comprehensive and cutting-edge information on therapeutic interventions and on the correct diagnosis of relevant neoplasms, and with numerous color illustrations, this is the most up-to-date assessment of current medical knowledge in this crucial area of medical research., In Baby Doctor, renowned pediatrician and writer Perri Klass brings us back to the joys and challenges of pediatric residency, updated for a new generation of readers. Returning to her classic tale of the highs and lows of becoming a pediatrician, Klass brings her intervening years of wisdom to this revised edition, noting what's changed in technology and treatments, while embracing the things that will probably never change-like the rewards of treating the littlest patients. Book jacket., Originally published nearly two decades ago, Baby Doctoris as fresh and pertinent as it was upon publication.Publisher's Weekly called it "Riveting.An inspiringcoming-of-age story and an inside look at medicaleducation.A colourful, candid view of the exhausting,exhilarating and dehumanizing subculture of paediatricresidency." Klass, a five-time O. Henry Award winner,delights readers, both lay and professional, with herengaging essays about the trials and tribulations ofbecoming a practicing paediatrician. Written with a newforeword and annotations, Baby Doctor offers a renewedperspective on Klass's experience as a paediatricresident, and underscores the depth and resonance of thebook's themes. Inspiring, compassionate, and compelling,Baby Doctor will fascinate and delight all who experiencethis roller coaster of a ride through a young doctor'straining.
