Why do some individuals triumph in situations that would physically or emotionally destroy most people? When tremendous physical, psychological, or emotional adversity threatens to destroy us, how can we hold on, gather strength, and conquer the obstacles in our path? Could "flow" be the way out an antidote to the poisons of our time?
Live Now: Inspiring Accounts of Overcoming Adversity by George Klein answers these questions by offering the fascinating and moving stories of three men who were close to the author and who conquered their separate demons. One man fought on several fronts of...

Volume 70 begins with two "Foundations in Cancer Research" articles, a staple of the Advances in Cancer Research series. The first article by Michael Stoker presents a review of some of the early advances made by cancer cell biology researchers. The second article by Emmanuel Farber describes the methods by which researchers delineate the phenotype of cells and ways to alter these phenotypes to prevent or delay carcinomas. Chidambaram and Dean illustrate the tumors and associated malformations of nevoid basal cell carcinoma. Koli and Keski-Oja review the effects of how transforming...
