Measure for Measure This, one of Shakespeare`s later comedies, is often called a "dark" comedy because of its focus on lust and death in a politically and morally corrupt Vienna-with much of the action taking place inside a prison. All`s Well That Ends Well A poor physician`s daughter heals a king and is rewarded with the aristocratic husband of her choice, in spite of his protests, in a compelling play that combines a folktale plot with a sophisticated look at the differences between word and deed. Troilus and Cressida One of Shakespeare`s great works, this innovative play is neither tragedy, comedy, nor romance. A story of ill-fated love, set during the siege of ancient Troy, it presents a strikingly modern view of a society falling...

What is a meatball sundae? It`s something messy, disgusting and ineffective, the result of combining two perfectly good things that don`t go together. Meatballs are the basic staples, the things people need, the stuff that used to be marketed quite well with TV and other mass market techniques. The topping is new marketing: MySpace, websites, YouTube, and all of the magic that CEOs wish would shine atop their companies. The problem? New marketing is lousy at selling meatballs. When confronted with the myriad opportunities presented by new marketing, people usually ask `How can we make this stuff work for us?` This, as Seth Godin explains in his remarkable new book, is exactly the wrong question. Mapping out 14 trends that are completely...

International scientists have come together to create a book on mechanosensitivity in cells and tissues. Mechanosensitivity, i.e. the specific response to mechanical stimulation, is common to a wide variety of cells in many different organisms ranging from bacteria to mammals. Mechanical stress can modulate physiological processes at the molecular, cellular, and systemic level. The primary target for mechanical stimulation is the plasma membrane of the cell, which can respond to variable physical stress with changes of the open probability of mechanosensitive ion channels. Thus, acting on ion channels in the plasma membrane, mechanical stress can elicit a multitude of biochemical processes inside a cell, both transient and long-lasting....

A lot has changed since Kitchen Confidential - for the subculture of chefs and cooks, for the restaurant business-and for Anthony Bourdain. Medium Raw explores these changes, moving back and forth from the author`s bad old days to the present. Tracking his own strange and unexpected voyage from journeyman cook to globe-travelling professional eater and drinker, Bourdain compares and contrasts what he`s seen and what he`s seeing, pausing along the way for a series of confessions, rants, investigations, and interrogations of some of the most controversial figures in food. And always he returns to the question: `Why cook?` Or the harder one to answer: `Why cook well?` Beginning with a secret and highly illegal after-hours gathering of...
