Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In an amazing coincidence, three lives intersect in a race against the clock, to find a cure for a deadly brain tumor. Meanwhile, one man and his family come together in hopes of a miracle. 'Parallel Lives reads like a detective novel. There was clearly an incentive to see how it would end. As a result once I started I finished it the next day. That does not happen with all the books I read. I was impressed by the detailed medical and scientific descriptions .'Anton Berns, Former Director, The Netherlands Cancer Institute, Amsterdam.'I was captivated by Parallel Lives and wanted to know how you would bring it to its end. You really master linking both science and medicine in a field to which you contributed a lot. Bravo for this tour de force'.Jacques Beckmann, University de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland On his 50th birthday, Graham Bunker, a tall, trim, handsome school teacher, in perfect health woke up in the middle of the night with an intense headache and a general state of restlessness. Chalking it up to the end of school year crush, he went about his day and later celebrated his fiftieth with his wife and children. However, in a matter of weeks, his life and that of his family will change drastically. Yacov Kaufman, born in Israel the same year as Graham, was lured by several venture capitalists to become the chief scientist of a biotech company in the San Francisco Bay Area. Charged with finding cures that will be highly profitable for the company, Kaufman believes he's found his dream job. A job that will save thousands of lives. For him patients will always come before profits. Rakesh Mehra, obtained his medical degree in India and trained in Boston as a Neuro-oncologist. His life is up ended the day Graham Bunker and his wife walk into his office. What begins as a simple exam turns into something far more dire, yet it also proves to be an extraordinary opportunity that pushes Mehra to question the oath he took as a doctor to do no harm. Two men come together to save one man, a family and possibly hundreds in this fast-paced and moving story about the boundaries of medicine and the limitless empathy one man can have for another.About the AuthorInder Verma is a cancer biologist who has published over four hundred peer reviewed articles in major scientific journals.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Secret of Alicanto is a story of an unlikely romance between two people living in different universes -MARIA Oliveira a Brazilian immigrant is a nurse in West Palm Beach Florida whose husband absconded before the birth of her twins in the fall of 1999. Her luck changes when in a church lottery she wins a one-week jaunt to Portugal. On a cruise to the Douro Valley, part of her travel itinerary, she meets JERRY FEINBERG, a divorced 55-year-old professor of Biology, at Harvard, who is spending time in Portugal as part of his sabbatical. After spending few days together Jerry is thrilled when she invites him to visit her in Florida. Despite initial hiccups, including Jerry's lack of experience with children, after multiple visits, Jerry's attachment to the twins, Lara and Peter, begins to grow. But when he proposes moving in together in his house near Boston, she demurs, in part because she is hiding a big secret that she hasn`t shared with him or anybody else. This grows into a conflict that could destroy their relationship, until Maria breaks down and reveals that her husband is not the father of her twins. Shocked less by the revelation of the paternity of her children than by her keeping this secret from him, Jerry returns home. Soon he realizes that Maria was keeping the secret to protect her children and implores her again to move with him.A year after their fortuitous meeting in Portugal, Maria and Jerry get married and move to his home in the Boston suburb of Belmont. When the twins are 10, the family travels to Brazil to visit Maria's sister and her family on the promise that they will also go to the Atacama Desert in Northern Chile, the place where Alicanto, the precious metals eating mythical bird on their mommy`s necklace is rumored to reside. On the last day of their stay in San Pedro de Atacama, while strolling the main street, Maria gets separated from the family and stops at a shop where Alicanto necklaces just like hers are on a display. Looking through the glass window, she recognizes the man behind the counter and is stunned. . .
