Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Malcolm Bradbury's humorous look at Britain's transition to midcentury modernity After spending a year teaching in an American university in the 1950s, Malcolm Bradbury returned to England only to realize that his native country had become nearly as mystifying to him as the American Midwest. As Britain marched toward a new decade, much of the country was changing inexorably, its agrarian past paved over by suburban developers, its quiet traditionalism replaced by beehive hairdos and shiny, glass-walled office buildings. And so, to confront this curious moment in British history, Bradbury turned to the sharpest tool in his arsenal: humor. In All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go, he writes of a country balancing precariously on the boundary of two worlds, with the wry wit and keenly observant eye that have made him one of the twentieth century's greatest satirists. Bradbury] restores belief in the power of laughter. -Harpers & Queen He restores belief in the power of laughter. -Harpers & Queen A master not only of language and comedy but of feeling too. -The Sunday Times Malcolm Bradbury is a satirist of great assurance and accomplishment. -The Observer Malcolm Bradbury (1932-2000) was a well-known novelist, critic, and academic, as well as founder of the creative writing department at the University of East Anglia.

Hardback. Condition: Good. Visceral.--Wall Street Journal Illuminating.--Publishers Weekly Heroic.--Science The immune system holds the key to human health. In The Beautiful Cure, leading immunologist Daniel M. Davis describes how the scientific quest to understand how the immune system works--and how it is affected by stress, sleep, age, and our state of mind--is now unlocking a revolutionary new approach to medicine and well-being. The body's ability to fight disease and heal itself is one of the great mysteries and marvels of nature. But in recent years, painstaking research has resulted in major advances in our grasp of this breathtakingly beautiful inner world: a vast and intricate network of specialist cells, regulatory proteins, and dedicated genes that are continually protecting our bodies. Far more powerful than any medicine ever invented, the immune system plays a crucial role in our daily lives. We have found ways to harness these natural defenses to create breakthrough drugs and so-called immunotherapies that help us fight cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and many age-related diseases, and we are starting to understand whether activities such as mindfulness might play a role in enhancing our physical resilience. Written by a researcher at the forefront of this adventure, The Beautiful Cure tells a dramatic story of scientific detective work and discovery, of puzzles solved and mysteries that linger, of lives sacrificed and saved. With expertise and eloquence, Davis introduces us to this revelatory new understanding of the human body and what it takes to be healthy.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Hailed by Mark Kuczewski as an outstanding achievement, and must-reading for any serious student of bioethics, Methods in Medical Ethics was the first systematic examination of how the methods and analyses of a wide variety of disciplines--such as anthropology, economics, epidemiology, health services research, law, nursing, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and theology--could illuminate the subject of medicine and morality.

Second, it features a new chapter on literature and medicine, a subfield that has greatly influenced practices in clinical ethics. Third, it includes a new empirical chapter, covering the discipline of sociology. As the editors write in the foreword, medical ethics is a multi-disciplinary field that they hope will become ever more interdisciplinary. …
