For Blood and Money - Billionaires, Biotech, and the Quest for a Blockbuster Drug
A gripping business narrative and scientific thriller about what it takes to bring a wonder drug to market?and save countless lives.
For Blood and Money tells the little-known story of how an upstart biotechnology company created a one-in-a-million cancer drug, and how members of the core team?denied their share of the profits?went and did it again. In this epic saga of money and science, veteran financial journalist Nathan Vardi explains how the invention of two of the biggest cancer drugs in history became (for their backers) two of the greatest Wall Street bets of all time.
In the multibillion-dollar business of biotech, where pharmaceutical companies, the government, hedge funds, and venture capitalists have spent billions on funding, experimentation, and treatments, a single molecule can stop cancer in its tracks?and make the people who find that rare molecule astonishingly rich. For Blood and Money follows a small team at a biotech start-up in California, who have found one of these rare molecules. Their compound, known as a BTK inhibitor, seems to work on a vicious type of leukemia. When patients start rising from their hospice beds, the team knows they’re onto something big.
What follows is a story of genius, pathos, and drama, in which vivid characters navigate a world of corporate intrigue and ambiguous morality. Vardi’s narrative immerses readers in the recent explosion of biotech start-ups. He describes the scientists, doctors, and investors who are risking everything to develop new, life-saving treatments, and introduces suffering patients for whom the stakes are life-or-death. A gripping nonfiction read, For Blood and Money illustrates why it’s so hard to bring new drugs to market, explains why they are so expensive, and examines how profit-driven venture capitalists are shaping the future of medicine.

Copy Machine Manifestos
The first publication dedicated to artists' zines in North America, a revelatory exploration of an unexamined but thriving aesthetic practice.
Copy Machine Manifestos captures the rich history of artists' zines as never before, placing them in the lineage of the visual arts and exploring their vibrant growth over the past five decades. Fully illustrated with hundreds of zine covers and interiors, alongside work in other media, such as painting, photography, film, video, and performance, the book also features brief biographies for more than 100 zine-makers including Beverly Buchanan, Mark Gonzales, G.B. Jones, Miranda July, Bruce LaBruce, Terence Koh, LTTR, Ari Marcopoulos, Mark Morrisroe, Raymond Pettibon, Brontez Purnell, Paul Mpagi Sepuya, and Kandis Williams. Accompanying a major exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum, this expansive book, bound as a paperback with a separate jacket, focuses on zines from North America, celebrating how artists have harnessed the medium's essential role in community building and transforming material and conceptual approaches to making art across all media since 1970.

All That's Left to Say
Hannah MacLaren has grown up between two worlds: scraping by happily with her single, working mum and avoiding the Maryland upper crust in the next town over, where her wealthy cousin and best friend Sophie lives. The plan is to get out: Hannah from paycheck-to-paycheck life, and Sophie from the cosseted world she doesn't fit into.
But just before junior year begins, something goes horribly wrong. Sophie overdoses at a party, leaving behind a shocked community and bereft best friends. As the haze of grief begins to clear, Hannah teams up with Sophie's other best friend, Gabi, to find out what happened that fateful night.
Someone gave Sophie oxycodone. Someone knew what was going on. And Hannah will not stop until she has uncovered the truth.
The Last Drop
Water scarcity is the next big climate crisis. Water stress – not just scarcity, but also water-quality issues caused by pollution – is already driving the first waves of climate refugees. Rivers are drying out before they meet the oceans, and ancient lakes are disappearing. Fourteen of the world’s twenty megacities are now experiencing water scarcity or drought conditions. It’s increasingly clear that human mismanagement of water is dangerously unsustainable, for both ecological and human survival. And yet in recent years some key countries have been quietly and very successfully addressing water stress.
How are Singapore and Israel, for example – both severely water-stressed countries – not in the same predicament as Chennai or California, but now boast surplus water? What can we learn from them and how can we use this knowledge to turn things around for the wider global community?
Do we have to stop eating almonds and asparagus grown in the deserts of California and Peru? Could desalination of seawater be the answer? Or rainwater capture? Are some of the wilder ‘solutions’ – such as the plan to tow icebergs to Cape Town – pure madness, or necessary innovation?
Award-winning environmental journalist Tim Smedley will travel the world to meet the experts, the victims, the activists and pioneers, to find out how we can mend the water table that our survival depends upon. His book will take an unblinking look at the current situation and how we got there. And then look to the solutions.
The Last Drop promises to offer a fascinating, universally relevant account of the environmental and human factors that have led us to this point, and suggests practical ways in which we might address the crisis, before it’s too late.
Tesla - Az elektromosság korának feltalálója
Nikola Tesla kiemelkedő szerepet játszott abban az elektromos forradalomban, amelynek hatására a 20. század fordulóján átalakult a mindennapi élet. Találmányai, szabadalmai és elméleti munkái számos modern váltakozó áramú berendezés megépítéséhez vezettek, és hozzájárultak a rádió és a televízió kifejlesztéséhez. Riválisához, Thomas Edisonhoz hasonlóan Tesla egyike volt Amerika első tudós hírességeinek, aki a New York-i felső tízezer köreiben forgott, és elektromos bemutatóival elkápráztatta Mark Twaint. Egy ügyes és tehetséges showman, aki a nyilvánosság felé a különc zseni képét mutatta. Minden évben születésnapi interjút adott, amelyre még élete végén is, amikor szegénységben élt, kíváncsiak voltak a riporterek, akiknek szórakoztatására azt mesélte, hogy feltalált egy részecskesugár fegyvert, amellyel el lehet pusztítani az ellenséges repülőgépeket. Számos életrajz beszél elragadtatással Tesláról és az ő különcségéről, de eddig egyik sem vizsgálta meg gondosan, hogy mit, hogyan, és miért talált fel. Ebben a korszakalkotó könyvben W. Bernard Carlson demisztifikálja a legendás feltalálót, és elhelyezi őt korának kulturális és technikai közegében, miközben részletesen bemutatja Tesla találmányait és azt, hogy mit tett hírnevének megalapozása és fenntartása érdekében.
Carlson Tesla magánéletéből és a nyilvánosság előtt játszódó életéből vett eredeti dokumentumok segítségével mutatja be az idealista feltalálót, aki egy nagy ötlet vagy elv tökéletes kísérleti megvalósítását kereste, és aki mítoszgyártás és illúziókeltés segítségével ügyesen eladta találmányait a közönségnek. Ez a nagyszabású életrajz új megvilágításba helyezi Tesla látnoki megközelítését a feltaláláshoz és a legjelentősebb technikai áttörései mögött meghúzódó üzleti stratégiákat.
A kötetet Egely György előszava teszi teljessé.
