Written from the Heart
Not to be confused with the "Babylon 5" actor, Joshua Cox is a writer of the Hemingway self-excommunicated variety, a Euro-wanderer whose prose is a cross between Russian lit and Rolling Stone fiction.
Others who have read this book have commented that it's a page-turner; that's because it has the key element for the success of a new writer--it is written from the heart.Along the lines of Christopher Reeves' movie "Somewhere In Time," this book has that same romantic tone, but it is a Mackinaw Island love story told from the perspective of the Douglas Coupland Generation, or perhaps an Eggers Generation that is emerging post-2000.This new generation of writers is a Phoenix from the ashes of the historical Romanticism from the Beats to Gen X and it's becoming a hodgepodge of underground indy literature, e-published books on Barnes-and-Noble banned Xlibris Press, small houses like Empyreal Press out of Montreal, and McSweeney-style Americanized reestablishing of the OuLiPo avant garde.The benefit is a broader range of books, more choices, more voices. Incredible first novels like Patrick Borden's "The Space" and Joshua Cox's "Mayflies in July" are thankfully available to the public, even if conglomerate megastore booksellers don't greet them with open arms.
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel for two main reasons: 1) it had the heart of a true indy movie and 2) it gives a voyeuristic revealment of love in the unguarded style of Cameron Crowe.Cox, along with up-and-comers like Borden, JT LeRoy, Peter Henry, Jett McAlister, Matt Deming, and Kirk P. Hansen are a new quiet wave of writers that Internet surfers should welcome. ... Read more

Product Description

The implications of biodiversity loss for the global environment have been widely discussed, but only recently has attention been paid to its direct and serious effects on human health. Biodiversity loss affects the spread of human diseases, causes a loss of medical models, diminishes the supplies of raw materials for drug discovery and biotechnology, and threatens food production and water quality.

Biodiversity and Human Health brings together leading thinkers on the global environment and biomedicine to explore the human health consequences of the loss of biological diversity. Based on a two-day conference sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and the Smithsonian Institution, the book opens a dialogue among experts from the fields of public health, biology, epidemiology, botany, ecology, demography, and pharmacology on this vital but often neglected concern.

Contributors discuss the uses and significance of biodiversity to the practice of medicine today, and develop strategies for conservation of these critical resources. Topics examined include:

• the causes and consequences of biodiversity loss
• emerging infectious diseases and the loss of biodiversity
• the significance and use of both prescription and herbal biodiversity-derived remedies
• indigenous and local peoples and their health care systems
• sustainable use of biodiversity for medicine
• an agenda for the future

The book provides a common framework for physicians and biomedical researchers who wish to learn more about environmental concerns, and for members of the environmental community who desire a greater understanding of biomedical issues. ... Read more

Product Description

Afterzine is a bi-annual arts and culture zine, curated by Hamish Robertson, featuring a collection of invited works upon dictated themes.

Table of Contents:
Interpretations: Negative Space
As these pages are an exercise in overcoming my own tendency to overthink projects, I knew the first issue's theme should not fall victim to that propensity. Hence, I chose to mirror the first assignment I was presented with as a student at Leeds College of Art, England, in 1998: Interpret "negative space."

Featured Study: Book covers, character, and spines
As numerous books and blogs showcase classic or beautiful book covers, Issue One's featured study focuses on the much overlooked art of the book spine. I invited Joseph Sullivan of the Book Design Review to comment on spine design, Jessica Pigza of the New York Public Library to select ten interesting spines from the library's permanent collection, and myself and British recording artist George Pringle to select our own favorites. I also invited six style bloggers to create a look based on their favorite book, book character, or book cover. The results adorn the three bookmarks accompanying this issue.

Style: Cover Me
Style bloggers Erika Altosaar, Nico Antonelli, Tavi Gevinson, Hannah and Landon Metz, and Megan Stewart were invited to create a look based on their favorite book, book character, or book cover. Printed over three double-sided bookmarks and inserted at random, one is included with each copy of Afterzine.

Features contributions from Erika Altosaar, Nico Antonelli, Jenni Avins, Eric Balliantz, Noma Bar, Nicholas Bentham, William Brown, Jr., Alexa Chung, Kate Cox, Tavi Gevinson, Christy Harrison, Laura Havlin, Lizz Hickey, Paige Maguire, Shannon Maldonado, Lucy Martin, Hannah & Landon Metz, Thurston Moore, Jessica Pigza, George Pringle, George Prochnik, Mindy Ramaker, Hamish Robertson, Jon Schuller, Andi Teran, Henry David Thoreau, Peter Saville, Evan Scott, Joshua Siegel, Bobby Solomon, Megan Stewart, and Joseph Sullivan.
