Product Description Constance "Connie" Gueyer and Peter Tarker each conduct research in laboratories at Bailey Medical College in New York City. Connie is a 48 year-old virologist (the study of viruses) and working with the Congo River virus. Peter is a 37 year-old geneticist (the study of genes). Virology and genetics are closely connected, so getting each other's opinions at work was the excuse they used to get together. They soon had a relationship going. Connie feels a bit self conscious due to the age difference between them. So she decides to take things slowly. Connie's studies show her the region of the brain that seems to control aging. Since Peter has identified the factor that causes aging, they begin an intense collaboration. The results set the scientific community on its ear! Then Connie sees Peter with his young assistant and believes (wrongly) the worst. In a moment of depression, and while under the influence of some medication, Connie takes a dose of the viral preparation they have been using in tests with lab mice. Shortly afterward though, the mice in those tests began to have serious problems. Review Four Stars: What a wonderful debut novel for Dr. Judith Sulzberger!

There was no liberty of the Press; everything had to pass through the censor's hands, and when unfavorable was condemned and burnt. Laws had remained extremely severe and barbarous especially for the f)eople; for poaching the punishment might be the galleys for ife, even torture was sometimes inflicted. That which increased despotism and helped to.make it odious was life at Court. Kings, since Francis I, had used it as a means of government; in order to render the nobles more docile they had been called to live near their sovereigns at Court. Thus in 1789 about 18.ooo persons were attached to the service of the king or his family. These ostentations employments used up a good part of the public revenue; courtiers received big pensions for doing nothing; there was great waste of expenditure throughout the Court (the king's stables alone cost 7.7oo.ooo francs a year, about 3o millions of today's currency). But what made all this the most serious was that the king, surrounded by a crowd of flattring, frivolous, fops and fripperies, had lost touch with his people: the Court separated him from the Nation. Taxation weighed upon the poor and labouring classes.--The most glaring injustice was in the matter of taxation. It had become intolerable for the population. Direct taxation included the vilain-tax (taille) levied exclusively on the peasants and middle-classes (not of noble birth) and two categories of more recent taxation, poll-tax and the " vingtiimes " (an income-tax)established by Louis XlVand which theoretically were paid by all. But as a matter of fact the nobility evaded paying, a...

By the time he had reached Harley Street, he had the finest premises in the City, plate-glass and mahogany, commissionaires in uniform, everything, and more, that he had seen at the private bank when he had cashed cheques. He had inherited the novelist's imagination, a dangerous gift for the business man into which he saw himself develop. He had not said a word to his uncles about his father's health. He could not bring the words to his lips. Then, too, ever since he had made his decision, hope, those high fallacious hopes integral to his youth, grew strong, that when he was with his father, looking after him, sharing his work, David would improve in health, grow happier, healthier. It was difficult to say when or how Sebastian had first realised that his father was not a happy man, but certainly the knowledge was there. CHAPTER VII. Snnasrmn had to break the news of his decision to his parents. He planned to do it at dinner, he even arranged a little scene. He would announce it carelessly, he mentally rehearsed'the exact shade of carelessness, he looked forward to his mother's dismay, and how he would meet it, to his father's surprise. David must never know the true reason; it was then he felt a throb of heroism again, and a sickening reaction of anxiety. But his schemes fell through. Stella had announced herself convalescent, and had released Vanessa from the attendance that she saw' was irksome. Stella knew her sister. When Vanessa's eyes wore that far-off look, and her answers came slowly, sometimes unreasonably, Vanessa should be in her library. Stella knew Vanessa would not have written novels had she been a happy woman; happy women do not write. But, ignorant of...

Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III IT was indeed the day of her life for Sally Snape. Charlie I put his proposal in good form. Will you honour me by accepting a seat beside me in the phaeton ? he said when he returned from his interview with Alfred. My pal prefers the bus; he seems taken with that friend of yours ? Miss Murray, isn't it ? I hope you are not afraid to trust yourself with me. Me! I'm not afraid of anything. Sally was very flattered, very excited, very happy. She was glad Mary had found some one she could take to. The gentility of Alfred was as definite as the gallantry and dash of Charlie. Each girl had found the man that suited her. Charlie cracked jokes with everybody. His compliments to Sally began to make her think she must be good-looking after all. His red necktie, his bowler hat, worn on the side of his head, rakishly, the pair of yellow- red driving gloves he produced, made a great impression upon her. He seemed a very fine gentleman indeed by the side of Luke Cullen, who appeared, just before she was mounting the step of the dogcart, and wanted to know wot she was doin' of. Miss Snape is honouring me with her company for the drive home, Charlie explained gaily. You can't have all the sweets for yourself, you know; she came down with you, she goes back with me; that's fair. Up with you, Miss Snape. So long, Cullen, see you to-morrow, fit as everl Saliy got into the dogcart nimbly, and Charlie climbed up after her, gathering the reins together in masterly fashion, so masterly, in fact, that the ostler, who stood by the horse's head, grinned from ear to ear. Drunk as a lord, he said to himself, forming his wrong conclusion hastily. But, seeing him with red-haired Sally by his side, the ostler had a spasm of envy. It was all very well as l...

A couple of years ago, on the very verge of the illness that subsequently overwhelmed me, I took a small furnished house in Pineland. I made no inspection of the place, but signed the agreement at the instance of the local house-agent, who proved little less inventive than the majority of his confreres. Three months of neuritis, only kept within bounds by drugs, had made me comparatively indifferent to my surroundings. It was necessary for me to move because I had become intolerant of the friends who exclaimed at my ill looks, and the acquaintances who failed to notice any alteration in me. One sister whom I really loved, and who really loved me, exasperated me by constant visits and ill-concealed anxiety. Another irritated me little less by making light of my ailment and speaking of neuritis in an easy familiar manner as one might of toothache or a corn. I had no natural sleep, and if I were not on the borderland of insanity, I was at least within sight of the home park of inconsequence. Reasoned behaviour was no longer possible, and I knew it was necessary for me to be alone. [...] This historic book is the reprint of the original novel published in 1916.

Rabbi Neuberger's work describes what it's like to be Jewish in contemporary Britain. It clarifies Jewish attitudes to life and death, sex, the Holocaust, families, festivals and rituals, and tries to show how these issues fit into the Britain of today.

A study of the moral state of the nation - the acid test of this being how we treat the weakest among us. Rabbi Julia Neuberger will assess the situation in the UK from her own unique viewpoint, and promises to draw some challenging and thought-provoking conclusions.

Does Tommy know you're Jewish? Tommy knows I'm Irish. At 12:37pm on 22 July 1946, the King David Hotel in Jerusalem was bombed. 91 people were killed, 46 wounded. The bombing was carried out by right-wing Zionists, targeting the headquarters of the British in Palestine. Two Irish Jewish brothers, Paul and Cecil Green, journey from their Dublin birthplace to battle antisemitism on the streets of East London. Their Irish nationalism propels them towards Jewish nationalism as they struggle against British Imperialism to form a Jewish nation state. As violence between British soldiers and Jewish terrorists erupts, Paul and Cecil become involved in an act of terrorism that changes both their lives. 12:37 raises complex and controversial questions around Jewish violence, homeland and national identity in a stunning new play that is both a hard-hitting historical epic and an intimate family drama. This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at the Finborough Theatre, London, in November 2022.

When Warsaw Ghetto-escapee Sarah visits the Venice Ghetto she happens to witness a group of actors staging a dress rehearsal of The Merchant of Venice, upon this chance encounter Sarah is confronted by the terrible story of 'The Jew' which touches her own life. Through this emotive and provocative play Julia Pascal re-works Shakespeare's controversial text, transposing the fervent theme of anti-Semitism raised by the bard, playing it out in a contemporary setting.Challenging the portrayal of 'The Jew' that for many years has dominated society's attitudes towards the Jewish people, Pascal ambitiously places her own text within Shakespeare's classic, producing a thoroughly thought-provoking and original work.
