As long as people have played games, there has been a temptation to win (or intentionally lose) by cheating. Infamous cases throughout the history of sport abound, from the "thrown" 1919 World Series to the recent doping confessions of track star Marion Jones. In this entertaining and informative book, sports historian Fran Zimniuch recalls the notorious scandals that have tainted our most popular sports, concluding that such incidents are often a reflection of the times.
Some drugs which are not aimed at treating heart disease have nevertheless been found to have profound effects on heart muscle. Cardiotoxicity is one of the major forms of toxicity seen in drugs and it accounts for most drug recalls and delays experienced in regulatory approvals.
In his, highly acclaimed debut, A PALE VIEW OF HILLS, Kazuo Ishiguro tells the story of Etsuko, a Japanese woman now living alone in England, dwelling on the recent suicide of her daughter. Retreating into the past, she finds herself reliving one particular hot summer in Nagasaki, when she and her friends struggled to rebuild their lives after the war. But then as she recalls her strange friendship with Sachiko - a wealthy woman reduced to vagrancy - the memories take on a disturbing cast. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The Lost Room (pilot episode)
О ФИЛЬМЕ: Что если весь мир устроен не так просто, как нам кажется? Что если самые простые бытовые предметы обладают свойствами, которые не поддаются объяснению? И что если самый близкий Вам человек оказался в плену этих мистических событий?
Мое личное мнение – это один из самых лучших (мини) сериалов. Интересная фантастика (идея), захватывающий триллер (сюжет), хорошая игра актеров. Три серии по 1,5 часа. Смотреть всем обязательно! Жаль, что всего три серии…
