Immunotherapy of Gram-negative Bacterial Sepsis

By: Randall S. Burd,Carolyn S. Cody,David L. Dunn

Gram negative bacterial infections occur frequently - more than 300,000 hospitalized patients develop serious gram negative bacterial infections each year in the US. Mortality of gram negative bacterial serpsis is greater than 10% and exceeds 30% in immunocompressed patients. The failure of conventional therapy has provided an impetus for the development of new adjuvant treatment of gram negative bacterial infections, such as the use of antibodies directed against endotoxin and endotoxin-induced monokines. This book describes the development of these new approaches and their clinical implementations.

The Rise of the Working-Class Shareholder

Labor's Last Best Weapon

By: David Webber

“Riveting . . . contributes wonderfully to a new and ongoing conversation about inequality, dark money, and populism in the electorate.” —Mehrsa Baradaran, author of The Color of Money When Steven Burd, CEO of the supermarket chain Safeway, cut wages and benefits, starting a five-month strike by 59,000 unionized workers, he was confident he would win. But where traditional labor action failed, a new approach was more successful. With the aid of the California Public Employees' Retirement System, a $300 billion pension fund, workers led a shareholder revolt that unseated three of Burd’s boardroom allies. In The Rise of the Working-Class Shareholder: Labor’s Last Best Weapon, David Webber uses cases such as Safeway’s to shine a light on labor’s most potent remaining weapon: its multitrillion-dollar pension funds. Outmaneuvered at the bargaining table and under constant assault in Washington, statehouses, and the courts, worker organizations are beginning to exercise muscle through markets. Shareholder activism has been used to divest from anti-labor companies, gun makers, and tobacco; diversify corporate boards; support Occupy Wall Street; force global warming onto the corporate agenda; create jobs; and challenge outlandish CEO pay. Webber argues that workers have found in labor’s capital a potent strategy against their exploiters. He explains the tactic’s surmountable difficulties even as he cautions that corporate interests are already working to deny labor’s access to this powerful and underused tool. The Rise of the Working-Class Shareholder is a rare good-news story for American workers, an opportunity hiding in plain sight. Combining legal rigor with inspiring narratives of labor victory, Webber shows how workers can wield their own capital to reclaim their strength. “Weaves narratives of activist campaigns (pension fund administrators, union staffers, and government comptrollers are the book’s unlikely heroes) with fine-grained analysis of the relevant legal and financial concepts in accessible prose.” —Publishers Weekly

Love and Other Stories

By: David Drebin

David Drebin was born in Toronto, Canada and is based in New York City since his graduation from Parson School of Design in 1996. After success in the commercial world doing ad campaigns internationally for companies from American Express, Davidoff, New York Times to name a few as well as magazines from Vanity Fair, Travel and Leisure, GQ, Elle, Rolling Stone and many others David has gone on to have exhibitions in Los Angeles and Berlin. LOVE & OTHER STORIES - in spite of David Drebin being a master of staging, the figures entangled in their emotions all seem to feel unobserved and safe. We remain unaware about the causes of the passionate feelings of his female characters, their experiences before being captured in their apparently agitated moods. One has to create a story behind these photos and this way embark on an exciting journey into the imagination. They remind us of film scenes we have never seen. David Drebin's photos are very expressive, matching the subjects that are filled with exciting details. The observer can't escape the mood of each female character highlighted in these photos.
