Cell and Tissue Destruction: Mechanisms, Protection, and Disorders provides an overview of the main mechanisms responsible for degradation in human beings and summarizes important strategies to counter these mechanisms. This book details the properties and limits of protective mechanisms, along with disturbances to systematic physiological functions. It provides examples of disease states resulting from the limits of protective systems. Three sections consider the physical and chemical reasons for destruction in living systems, protection against cytotoxic components, and the development of pathologic states. This book provides neuroscientists, cancer researchers and physicians with robust, overall coverage of the interrelated processes involved in cell and tissue destruction in living structures, and concomitant protective mechanisms and their limitations.

Albert Keller, pensionierter Literaturdozent, trauert noch immer um seinen Sohn, der mit vierzehn Jahren bei einem tragischen Verkehrsunfall gestorben ist. Dass Morris nie die Erfahrung der Liebe machen durfte, empfindet Albert als kaum zu ertragende Ungerechtigkeit. Ist er unterwegs, hält er Ausschau nach Mädchen, die für Morris infrage gekommen wären. Trost sind dem Alleinlebenden zudem die Bücher des Schriftstellers Jean Mason, in denen er Morris wiederzufinden glaubt. Als Mason stirbt, sucht Albert dessen Familie auf, um für eine Biographie zu recherchieren. Dabei trifft er auf dessen Tochter, die zwölfjährige Joëlle. Sie wird von ihm zum »Mädchen für Morris« auserkoren, bis er eines Tages erkennt, dass er in Wahrheit selbst das junge Mädchen begehrt – und schließlich zu weit geht.Ein raffiniertes Spiel mit dem Thema „Fiktion und Wirklichkeit“ sowie mit Klassikern von Vladimir Nabokov, Lewis Carroll und Thomas Mann. Nie kann sich der Leser sicher sein, ob das, was erzählt wird, tatsächlich geschieht. Wer zieht die Fäden in dieser Geschichte? Wer ist hier Erzähler und wer literarische Figur? Und welche Macht hat ein Schriftsteller über seine Figuren und damit auch über die Phantasien und Reflexe seines Lesers?

"In his Letter to Menoeceus , the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus states that 'death is nothing to us'. Few philosophers then or since have agreed with his controversial argument, upholding instead that death constitutes a deprivation and is therefore to be feared. Diverging from the current trend and sparking fresh debate, this book provides an imaginative defense of the Epicurean view of death. Drawing on Epicurus's Principal Doctrines , Lucretius's De Rerum Natura and Philodemus's De Morte, David Suits argues that the usual concepts of harm, loss and suffering no longer apply in death, thus showing how the deprivation view is flawed. He also applies Epicurean reasoning to key issues in applied ethics in order to dispute the claim that there can be a right to life, to defend egoistic friendship, and to consider how Epicureanism might handle wills and life insurance. By championing the Epicurean perspective, this book makes a valuable contribution to the contemporary philosophical debate about death.".
