Africanizing Oncology

Creativity, Crisis, and Cancer in Uganda

By: Marissa Mika

An innovative contemporary history that blends insights from a variety of disciplines to highlight how a storied African cancer institute has shaped lives and identities in postcolonial Uganda. Over the past decade, an increasingly visible crisis of cancer in Uganda has made local and international headlines. Based on transcontinental research and public engagement with the Uganda Cancer Institute that began in 2010, Africanizing Oncology frames the cancer hospital as a microcosm of the Ugandan state, as a space where one can trace the lived experiences of Ugandans in the twentieth century. Ongoing ethnographic fieldwork, patient records, oral histories, private papers from US oncologists, American National Cancer Institute records, British colonial office reports, and even the architecture of the institute itself show how Ugandans understood and continue to shape ideas about national identity, political violence, epidemics, and economic life. Africanizing Oncology describes the political, social, technological, and biomedical dimensions of how Ugandans created, sustained, and transformed this institute over the past half century. With insights from science and technology studies and contemporary African history, Marissa Mika’s work joins a new wave of contemporary histories of the political, technological, moral, and intellectual aspirations and actions of Africans after independence. It contributes to a growing body of work on chronic disease and situates the contemporary urgency of the mounting cancer crisis on the continent in a longer history of global cancer research and care. With its creative integration of African studies, science and technology studies, and medical anthropology, Africanizing Oncology speaks to multiple scholarly communities.

The Big Book of Baby Names

By: Marissa Charles

Choosing the name of your child is one of the most important early decisions you can make as a parent. Some parents want to choose a more traditional name, while others want a popular contemporary name. Others wish for a more unusual name that no other child in the classroom has, while an ever-increasing number are looking for a name with particular meaning - be it a Biblical name, a name from Roman or Greek mythology, or even one associated with a particular place, colour or plant. The list of requirements can be endless. Thankfully the choices are limitless too, as you will discover from the two comprehensive A-Z sections of boys' and girls' names in this easy-to-use guide. Whatever name you are looking for, The Big Book of Baby Names is the perfect companion to help you in your task.

Girl with Glasses

My Optic History

By: Marissa Walsh

Marissa Walsh's hilarious look at a life behind glass is both a poignant personal journey and a wry, insightful exploration of just what it means to be a glasses-wearing kind of girl. Being a Girl with Glasses isn't just a style choice; it's a way of life. If you've ever had your specs steam up when walking into a bar, squinted into the sun on the soccer field, or laid eyes on a new haircut only after your locks are strewn across the floor, you know what it's like to be a GWG. Marissa Walsh has worn glasses since third grade. Now—ten pairs of glasses, one pair of prescription sunglasses, and endless pairs of contacts later—she has fully embraced her four-eyed fate. As she recounts her optic history through the lenses of each pair of glasses—from the Sergio Valentes and the Sally Jessy Raphaels to the pseudo John Lennons and the dreaded health plan specs—at last she found them...the perfect pair. Peppered with pop culture references and complete with appendixes of resources, classic GWG moments, and helpful tips on finding the right frames for your face, Girl with Glasses will give you reason to commiserate with your short-sighted sisters and celebrate your less-than-perfect vision.

INSTANT KARMA

By: Marissa Meyer

Prudence Barnett è sempre pronta a sparare giudizi sui suoi concittadini pigri, cafoni, arroganti. I suoi sogni di "giustizia karmica" sembrano realizzarsi quando, una mattina, si sveglia con la capacità di assegnare a ciascuno il destino che, secondo lei, gli spetta. Vandali e pettegoli vengono sistematicamente puniti. Solo su una persona i suoi poteri paiono non avere effetto: Quint Erickson, il suo compagno di classe scansafatiche. Un lazzarone, ma incredibilmente attraente e dal nobile carattere, visto che lavora come volontario al Centro di recupero animali marini di Fortuna Beach. Accanto a lui Pru scoprirà cose che non aveva mai immaginato sui cuccioli di lontra, i disastri ambientali e l'amore. Non necessariamente in quest'ordine...

Instant karma

By: Marissa Meyerová

Prudence je klasická šprtka, co má o lidech okolo sebe jasno: jsou líní, arogantní a nejradši by jim to všem dala pořádně sežrat. Po jedné karaoke noci se jí přání splní – zničehonic může na kohokoli přivolat okamžitou karmickou odplatu. Tahle superschopnost nefunguje jen na otravného spolužáka Quinta, který s ní pracuje v záchranném centru pro mořské živočichy. Co když je však úplně jiný? Prudence se o něm pokusí zjistit víc... a brzo v tom lítá až po uši.
