Each of these eight stories places readers at the treacherous intersection where chaos meets order. In "The Hill Station," a young microbiologist gains a fuller understanding of death, disease, and her own life when she witnesses the ravaged lives and despairing faces of those for whom cholera is more than germs swimming under a microscope. A collection that challenges readers to place themselves in the lives of characters whose predicaments and choices lead us inexorably toward our own.

Excerpt from Observations on the Pathology and Treatment of Cholera: The Result of Forty Years' ExperienceI have been requested by many esteemed pro fessional friends to give my views of the treatment of Cholera in India, where I especially directed my attention to the disease; and had repeated oppor tunities of testing the result of remedies. I had there an opportunity of forming an Opinion on many of the most important points that are still unsettled, and I have now leisure to examine the opinions of others; and I find that though much has been written on the history, causes, and patho logy of the disease, little has been said about the treatment, beyond giving a list of medicines sup posed to act specifically on the disease.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Philip's Moon Map

Hamlyn

Philip's Moon Map is a large-format folded map of the near side of the Moon. It has been specially drawn for Philip's by Dr John Murray, a research lecturer at the Open University, who is an expert on the lunar surface. The map is not only a highly accurate and clear representation of the Moon, but is also a practical guide for lunar observers.More than 500 physical features - craters, seas, mountain ranges, peaks, valleys and rilles (elongated depressions) - are named and indexed, and the landing sites of unmanned and manned spacecraft are also marked. The observer can thus readily identify objects seen through binoculars or a telescope, or select targets for a programme of observation.The chart includes a small map of the far side of the Moon (never visible from the Earth) and is accompanied by a practical guide to lunar observing. This concise and informative text describes the various types of feature to observe, illustrated with drawings and photographs. Tips are given as to the best point in the lunar cycle to observe the most interesting of these features. Guidelines on drawing or photographing the Moon are also included.Colour artworks explain the Moon's orbit, and why its phase (the proportion of the Moon that is visible from Earth) changes during the course of a month. Also explained, with the help of illustrations, are the path of the Moon during the course of the year and why lunar and solar eclipses occur.
