Said the 'New York times Book Review' critic : "What she has almost miraculously achieved, at one throw, is the first novel (or hymn, for this book is close to epic poetry) of Women's Liberation --- the first imaginative work of fiction in which the battle between the sexes is fought in Women's Liberation terms" --- And Mary McCarthy had this to say : " In this delectable epic of sex warfare Monique Wittig has been able to suggest the exotic barbarian beauty of the untamed female in her natural state. (She is) the best writer anywhere of her generation - a literary triumph - the only work of beauty to come out of Women's Lib."

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Nutritional oncology is an increasingly active interdisciplinary field where cancer is investigated as both a systemic and local disease originating with the changes in the genome and progressing through a multi-step process which may be influenced at many points in its natural history by nutritional factors that could impact the prevention of cancer, the quality of life of cancer patients, and the risk of cancer recurrence in the rapidly increasing population of cancer survivors.Since the first edition of this book was published in 1999, the idea that there is a single gene pathway or single drug will provide a cure for cancer has given way to the general view that dietary/environmental factors impact the progression of genetic and cellular changes in common forms of cancer. This broad concept can now be investigated within a basic and clinical research context for specific types of cancer. This book attempts to cover the current available knowledge in this new field of nutritional oncology written by invited experts. This book attempts to provide not only the theoretical and research basis for nutritional oncology, but will offer the medical oncologist and other members of multidisciplinary groups treating cancer patients practical information on nutrition assessment and nutritional regimens, including micronutrient and phytochemical supplementation. The editors hope that this volume will stimulate increased research, education and patient application of the principles of nutritional oncology.NEW TO THIS EDITION:\* Covers hot new topics of nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics in cancer cell growth \* Includes new chapters on metabolic networks in cancer cell growth, nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics\* Presents substantially revised chapters on breast cancer and nutrition, prostate cancer and nutrition, and colon cancer and nutrition\* Includes new illustrations throughout the text, especially in the breast cancer chapter.
