On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society by Dave Grossman, ISBN 0316330116

$10.42

The twentieth century, with its bloody world wars, revolutions, and genocides accounting for hundreds of millions dead, would seem to prove that human beings are incredibly vicious predators and that killing is as natural as eating. But Lieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman, a psychologist and U.S. Army Ranger, demonstrates this is not the case. The good news, according to Grossman - drawing on dozens of interviews, first-person reports, and historic studies of combat, ranging from Frederick the Great's battles in the eighteenth century through Vietnam - is that the vast majority of soldiers are loath to kill. In World War II, for instance, only 15 to 25 percent of combat infantry were willing to fire their rifles. The provocative news is that modern armies, using Pavlovian and operant conditioning, have learned how to overcome this reluctance. In Korea about 50 percent of combat infantry were willing to shoot, and in Vietnam the figure rose to over 90 percent. The bad news is that by conditioning soldiers to overcome their instinctive loathing of killing, we have drastically increased post-combat stress - witness the devastated psychological state of our Vietnam vets as compared with those from earlier wars. And the truly terrible news is that contemporary civilian society, particularly the media, replicates the army's conditioning techniques and - according to Grossman's controversial thesis - is responsible for our rising rates of murder and violence, particularly among the young. In the explosive last section of the book, he argues that high-body-count movies, television violence (both news and entertainment), and interactive point-and-shoot video games are dangerously similar to thetraining programs that dehumanize the enemy, desensitize soldiers to the psychological ramifications of killing, and make pulling the trigger an automatic response.

Grow Younger, Live Longer: Ten Steps to Reverse Aging by Deepak Chopra, ISBN 0375419764

Read by Deepak Chopra
5 CDs/approx. 5 hours
In the tradition of the mega-bestseller "Ageless Body, Timeless Mind, Deepak Chopra, M.D., and his colleague David Simon, M.D., present ten practical steps that enable listeners to reset their biological age (which determines how you look and feel) as much as fifteen years lower than their chronological age.
The idea for this book was born in early Spring 2000, when Dr. Chopra was being interviewed on "Larry King Live!. As the conversation turned to aging, Dr. Chopra listed ten steps we can take to reverse its effects. The phones at the television studio and the Chopra Center for Well Being lit up with calls from people wanting to know more. This phenomenal response clearly called for a new audiobook on the topic, and here it is.
At the heart of "Grow Younger, Live Longer is a simple-to-follow program for personal renewal, complete with specific supplements, exercises, and meditation techniques. Grow Younger, Live Longer: Ten Steps to Reverse Aging by Deepak Chopra, ISBN 0375419764

Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg, ISBN 0449911357

Folksy and fresh, endearing and affecting, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe is the
now-classic novel of two women in the 1980s; of gray-headed Mrs. Threadgoode telling her life story to
Evelyn, who is in the sad slump of middle age. The tale she tells is also of two women--of the
irrepressibly daredevilish tomboy Idgie and her friend Ruth--who back in the thirties ran a little place in
Whistle Stop, Alabama, a Southern kind of Cafe Wobegon offering good barbecue and good coffee and all kinds of love and laughter, even an occasional murder. And as the past unfolds, the present--for Evelyn and for us--will never be quite the same again...
"Airplanes and television have removed the Threadgoodes from the Southern scene. Happily for us, Fannie Flagg has preserved a whole community of them in a richly comic, poignant narrative that records the exuberance of their lives, the sadness of their departure. Idgie Threadgoode is a true original: Huckleberry Finn would have... Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg, ISBN 0449911357

Technology Management: Developing and Implementing Effective Technology Licensing Programs by Robert C. Megantz, ISBN 0471200182

Technology Management
Developing and Implementing Effective Licensing Programs

In today’ s high-technology industries, intellectual property is often a company’ s most valuable asset. But the exploitation of intellectual assets is much more complicated than the exploitation of tangible assets such as buildings, machinery, and capital.

In many cases, licensing intellectual properties to other companies is the best way to utilize technology assets– a common strategy in industries such as electronics, computing, telecommunications, biotechnology, and pharmaceuticals. By licensing their intellectual property to other companies better positioned to access certain markets, firms can fully utilize technology assets when they may not have the resources to do so on their own.

Technology Management is a step-by-step treatment of the subject that clearly and succinctly explains how to develop and implement a technology licensing program in your company. It offers accessible...

DNA Damage Recognition

This reference focuses on the various molecular mechanisms and structural aspects involved in the process of DNA damage recognition and repair, as well as other related responses such as damage tolerance and cell cycle checkpoint regulation. When available, this guide shows how protein/DNA damage contacts have been accomplished and which types of structural features or consequences of DNA damage have been probed by the recognition apparatus in order to permit a distinction from undamaged DNA. In this fashion, damage recognition is addressed within the major pathways of DNA repair. The book analyzes the pathways of damage tolerance as a consequence of a combined recognition/accommodation process and also includes chapters on translesion synthesis. DNA Damage Recognition
