More than thirty years after the tragic death of Pier Paolo Pasolini, this volume is intended to acknowledge the significance of his living memory. His artistic and cultural production continues to be a fundamental reference point in any discourse on the state of the arts, and on contemporary political events, in Italy and abroad. This collection of essays intends to continue the recognition of Pasolinis teachings and of his role as engaged intellectual, not only as acute observer of the society in which he lived, but also as semiologist, writer, and filmmaker, always heretical in all his...

Appropriate selection of biochemical targets is one of the most important drivers of cost effectiveness in the discovery of new medicines. Despite the many advances in genetics, genomics and systems biology, 'validation' of a target is not achieved until therapeutic efficacy is demonstrated by a drug candidate. Volume 46 of this series reviews the medicinal chemistry aimed at six diverse targets from which important new medicines are emerging:
* HIV integrase (discovery of the first-in-class inhibitor drug raltegravir)
* 11-beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (new approach to...

A quartet's heist built on vengeance is detoured by greed, love, murder, and ulterior motives.

Topeka, Kansas is home to the Zved's, a notorious group of wealthy hitmen who aren't afraid to make bold moves if it means saving themselves. Billy Lewis, a local cop working for his father, knows that first hand. After his father is killed, Billy is forced to take the reins of caring for his well-meaning but mentally unstable brother, Frank. When Billy stumbles upon Alicia Diaz - a mysterious, benevolent, and beautiful Cuban immigrant - they join forces to conspire to steal enough money...

Have you ever felt like you're not in control? That you're a victim of circumstance, or of your partner or family or boss? That your 'karma' is catching up with you, or even that you have a 'life plan' that involves suffering? But what if you're actually in control as you create your reality afresh in each moment? * Even if your greater self chooses certain circumstances in your life... you still create your reaction to them. * Time isn't continuous, so the 'past' has no bearing on the present... unless you let it. * Physical reality is nothing more than a mirror... it only reflects what you...

A home invasion uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to overthrow a nationwide criminal enterprise.

For Marco Salazar, it was supposed to be a routine home invasion. Except, as he learned, there's no such thing. With the help of his longtime friend, Antonio Esposito - the soft-spoken wingman - and his pizzeria-owning uncle, Amelio "Big Sal," Marco's journey for righteousness for his falsely imprisoned father, Bartolo, leads them through the suburbs of Boston. A string of home invasions leaves the trio just shy of having the money needed for Bartolo's defense attorney's retainer, and...

This volume provides reviews of six topics demonstrating the breadth of the field and recent successes in medicinal chemistry. Each of the first five chapters takes an important biochemical target as its theme and provides an insight into current progress in drug design. The last chapter focuses on the vital subject of pharmacokinetics and the great strides that have been made in this discipline during the past decade. All chapters provide an insight into the skills required of the modern medicinal chemist, in particular, the use of an appropriate selection of the wide range of tools now...
