World Cancer Day 2020

February 4th marks 20 years of World Cancer Day. An initiative of the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC), the day has become a global movement in its own right, uniting people all over the world to take action.

In celebration of World Cancer Day, we’re highlighting three exceptional publications aiming to understand and eradicate cancer for good. The books are available at a 50% discount until March – just use the code ‘ACTION50’ at the checkout on our website.

The History and Mystery of Breast Cancer is a fascinating study that touches on the history of medicine, the philosophy of science, and the introduction of the humanities into medical education. In it Michael Baum uses his vast experience to answer many of the most pressing questions about the disease. Provoked by two instances of breast cancer in his family, the book is “intensely personal yet contains sophisticated science”, notes Dr Margaret Spittle OBE. It is a text worthy of a wide audience. One of Britain’s most distinguished and respected surgeons, Michael Baum has held Chairs of Surgery at such prestigious institutions as Kings College London, the Institute of Cancer Research, UK, and University College London.

Oral Cancer: From Prevention to Intervention is a concise, informed and practical manual detailing the cause, deterrence and interventional treatment of oral cancer. Spanning nearly 40 years of clinical investigation, it reviews the biological basis of oral cancer, outlines primary, secondary and tertiary preventive strategies and describe a pragmatic treatment intervention protocol that specifically utilizes the ‘potentially malignant window’ to identify malignant disease at the earliest possible stage and intervention to ‘stop the oral cancer clock’ and halt the progression of this deadliest of oral diseases. The book’s author Peter Thomson has published and presented over 250 research papers in oral oncology, and is an internationally recognised authority on carcinogenesis.

George D. K. Gogichadze, Professor of at Tbilisi State Medical University, has dedicated his adult life to researching cancer, with the vast majority of his scientific publications (over 230) being dedicated to the topic. He is the author of 30 published books on the subject, and his most recent volume is no different. The Paradoxical Situation in Carcinogenesis: Optimistic Mistake or Pessimistic Truth? focuses on the ethical problems related to carcinogenesis and discusses the karyogamic theory in a new light, using new arguments to consider the prospects of cancer prevention and treatment.

Author discusses book on grad school

Graduate school is a great mystery to students, and to some faculty members, says Jessica McCrory Calarco, the author of A Field Guide to Grad School: Uncovering the Hidden Curriculum (Princeton University Press). Calarco is an associate professor of sociology at Indiana University. She believes many faculty members (as well as graduate students, of course) will benefit from her book. She responded to questions via email. Q: How did you get the idea to write this book? Why did the issue speak to you? A: This book started as a tweet . Or, rather, as a series of tweets about the hidden curriculum of higher ed. Ph.D. student Kristen K. Smith had tweeted about the need to better educate undergrads about grad school opportunities, and it made me think about how opportunities in academe are often hidden from grad students, as well. Reflecting on my own experiences in grad school, I thought about the many times I'd found myself embarrassed because of what I didn't know -- the ...

Guest Blog: Where Does the Bizarre Hysteria About “Critical Race Theory” Come From?—Follow the Money!

Blog:  Just Visiting Guest Blog: Where Does the Bizarre Hysteria About “Critical Race Theory” Come From?—Follow the Money! By Isaac Kamola Trinity College Hartford, CT There are now numerous well-documented examples of wealthy right-wing and libertarian donors using that wealth to transform higher education in their own image. Between 2005 and 2019, for example, the Charles Koch Foundation has spent over  $485 million  at more than 550 universities. As demonstrated by Douglas Beets and others, many of these grants include considerable  donor influence  over what gets taught, researched, and even who gets hired. It should therefore come as no surprise that conservative megadonor, Walter Hussman Jr.,  lobbied hard  to deny the Pulitzer-prize winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones a tenured professorship at the UNC journalism school that bears his name. Nor that her offer of tenure, awarded through the normal channels of faculty governan...
