There is nothing like a good sea shanty—or chanty, as it was originally called—to transport one to a different time, place, and mood. After all, few have a more powerful need to relieve boredom, weariness, fear, and loneliness than sailors. And a classic, generations-tested shanty can do just that—with humor, nostalgia, and often lasciviousness all at once. Whether at land or sea, the good fun of shanties is hard to contain. Sing them a few times, and you naturally want to learn more about them. "What Do You Do With A Drunken Sailor?" offers not only the lyrics of...

A young Southerner, Quentin Breed, desperately flees from a Vietnam draft notice and the FBI, hoping to find refuge with a little-known relative, a family outcast, in a tiny Virginia town with the strange name of Mothers of Dane. A stunning turn of events, however, leads him into the bizarre world of the oddly-spelled GRO. ANd GLUF, a country store near the town where Quentin, broke and using an alias, must take a temporary job to fund a new plan for escape.

When crime savagely strikes the GRO. ANd GLUF, though, Quentin surprises even himself by running headlong into harm's way,...

How are cancer and inflammation interrelated mechanistically and clinically? Though extensive literature exists on the topic "Cancer and Inflammation," there are relatively few texts that have truly integrated the two in spite of the many common mechanisms shared by their processes. Certainly, areas such as cytokines, growth factors, proliferation, signal transduction and angiogenesis, for example, are found in both. Yet, the dynamics of how these common mechanisms are maybe interrelated in the pathologies of the two is not widely covered. Such coverage, as presented in this volume, may...

In Vivo Models of Inflammation (Vol. 1 and Vol. 2) provides biomedical researchers in both the pharmaceutical industry and academia with a description of the state-of-the-art animal model systems used to emulate diseases with components of inflammation. This second edition acts as a complement to the first, describing and updating the standard models that are most utilized for specific disease areas. New models are included exploring emerging areas of inflammation research.
