January 2020Chicken Pox, Second Edition
by Patrick Guilfoile, Ph.D.
Until relatively recently, chicken pox was a rite of passage for children and was often looked upon as just a nuisance, although this illness can cause complications in some people. Though the development and use of a chicken pox vaccine has reduced the number of chicken pox cases, the unvaccinated remain vulnerable. In addition, shingles, a painful condition that can arise after an initial chicken pox infection, is a concern, particularly in older people. Chicken Pox, Second Edition presents an overview of this disease caused by a herpesvirus known as the varicella-zoster virus, explaining the signs and symptoms of the disease, how it spreads, how it is treated, and how the development of a vaccine has affected the incidence of chicken pox. Chapters include: What Is Chicken Pox? The History of Chicken Pox Chicken Pox in Young Children Chicken Pox in Infants and Adults How Is Chicken Pox Diagnosed and Treated?

January 2021Diphtheria, Second Edition
by Patrick G. Guilfoile, Ph.D.
Diphtheria is a bacterial infection caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae, which attacks the respiratory system.

Heidelberger Poetikvorlesungen
by Patrick Roth
In diesen Poetikvorlesungen geht der Erzähler Patrick Roth nun seinem Schreiben auf den Grund. Ausgangspunkt ist ihm der Stoff, aus dem die Träume sind, die aus dem Unbewußten zugekommene »materia«, die er durch die Arbeit am literarischen Werk realisiert. Das Unbewußte mit dem Bewußten, das Numinose mit dem Individuellen, das Zeitlose mit dem ganz und gar Zeitlich-Alltäglichen in lebendige Beziehung zu setzen – das ist der Prozeß des Schreibens, dem hier mit poetischer Genauigkeit und Dichte nachgegangen wird.
