Enter Title Here
by Rahul KanakiaI'm your protagonist-Reshma Kapoor-and if you have the free time to read this book, then you're probably nothing like me. Reshma is a college counselor's dream. She's the top-ranked senior at her ultra-competitive Silicon Valley high school, with a spotless academic record and a long roster of extracurriculars. But there are plenty of perfect students in the country, and if Reshma wants to get into Stanford, and into med school after that, she needs the hook to beat them all. What's a habitual over-achiever to do? Land herself a literary agent, of course. Which is exactly what Reshma does after agent Linda Montrose spots an article she wrote for Huffington Post. Linda wants to represent Reshma, and, with her new agent's help scoring a book deal, Reshma knows she'll finally have the key to Stanford. But she's convinced no one would want to read a novel about a study machine like her. To make herself a more relatable protagonist, she must start doing all the regular American girl stuff she normally ignores. For starters, she has to make a friend, then get a boyfriend. And she's already planned the perfect ending: after struggling for three hundred pages with her own perfectionism, Reshma will learn that meaningful relationships can be more important than success-a character arc librarians and critics alike will enjoy. Of course, even with a mastermind like Reshma in charge, things can't always go as planned. And when the valedictorian spot begins to slip from her grasp, she'll have to decide just how far she'll go for that satisfying ending. (Note: It's pretty far.) In this wholly unique, wickedly funny debut novel, Rahul Kanakia consciously uses the rules of storytelling-and then breaks them to pieces.

Entre los rotos
by Alaíde Ventura MedinaPremio Mauricio Achar Literatura Random House 2019 «Entre los rotos nos reconocemos fácilmente. Nos atraemos y repelemos en igual medida. Conformamos un gremio triste y derrotado. Somos la aldea que se fundó junto al volcán, la ciudad que se alzó sobre terreno inestable.» Una joven encuentra la colección de fotos de su hermano menor. No entiende por qué Julián decidió conservar esas imágenes. No retratan momentos particularmente alegres, por el contrario, casi todas pueden verse como la antesala de una catástrofe doméstica. Pensándolo bien, eso fue su infancia en Veracruz: la antesala y las secuelas de una catástrofe continua, la construcción minuciosa de las ruinas que son ella, su hermano y su madre. Su padre, un hombre imprevisible y violento, los lastimaba a la más arbitraria provocación. Julián, sin embargo, siempre se llevó la peor parte, por lo que encierto momento, alzó una muralla de silencio para protegerse a sí mismo. Pero el silencio tiene la capacidad de contaminarlo todo con su propia forma de violencia. Esta novela es el intento de reconstrucción del rompecabezas o el álbum fotográfico que es toda memoria. La hermana mayor sabe que no puede contar una historia feliz a partir de estas imágenes, ¿podrá contar al menos una historia verosímil? ¿Y quién es el gran ausente en este relato, Julián o ella misma? ¿Logró escapar a tiempo del naufragio? Con una prosa impecable, tan emotiva como precisa, Entre los rotos nos recuerda que somos nuestra memoria y ésta es un caleidoscopio, que tiene mucho más de roto que de colorido.

Epigenetics, the Environment, and Children's Health Across Lifespans
by David HollarThis stimulating volume addresses vital questions about gene/environment interactions as they affect cell health from the prenatal period through later life. Beginning with a tour of epigenetic processes in the human body, the book assembles current theoretical and empirical developments across the discipline, among them transgenerational epigenetic inheritance, the effects of maternal nutrition on epigenetic change, and possible links between epigenetics and childhood obesity. Public health and policy aspects of the field are discussed in depth, with the understanding that much can be done to improve our epigenetic health as a species. And in this vein, contributors consider future possibilities, such as the reprogramming of genes to reverse cancer and other diseases. Included in the coverage: The role of environmental epigenetics in perinatal and neonatal development The epigenetic biomarker γH2AX: from bench science to clinical trials What's the risk? Dental amalgam, mercury exposure, and human health risks throughout the lifespan Post-traumatic stress disorder: neurological, genetic, and epigenetic bases Children's exposure to alcohol, tobacco, and drugs: long-term outcomes Ethical implications of epigenetics Epigenetics, the Environment, and Children's Health Across Lifespans brings real-world knowledge and applications of this increasingly important field to public health practitioners, maternal and child health researchers, and environmental health experts.
