Published in 1930, The Mysterious Mr. Quin is a collection of twelve short stories by Agatha Christie, quite unlike her usual detective fiction featuring Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple. Instead, this book explores the intersection of mystery, romance, and the supernatural, with a distinctly philosophical and emotional tone. The stories revolve around Mr. Harley Quin, a mysterious, almost otherworldly figure who appears suddenly in moments of human crisis or moral confusion. His role is not that of a detective but of a catalyst for revelation-someone who awakens insight in others. His companion, Mr. Satterthwaite, is a sensitive, observant elderly gentleman who moves in high society and becomes Quin's confidant and helper. Through Quin's guidance, Satterthwaite learns to see beneath the surface of human behavior and uncover hidden truths. Christie described Mr. Quin as her favorite character among all her creations. She saw him as a symbolic or spiritual presence, inspired by the Harlequin figure of the commedia dell'arte - a bringer of change, joy, and sometimes tragedy. The stories blend psychological mystery with themes of fate, love, death, and redemption, showing a more poetic and mystical side of Christie's imagination. While the book retains Christie's knack for puzzles and human observation, it also reveals her interest in emotion, intuition, and metaphysical ideas, marking it as one of her most unusual and haunting works.

Between 1956 and 1963, the United Nations grappled with the "Hungarian question"; namely, what it should do about the events and aftermath of the country's 1956 Revolution. Cold War tensions, anxieties over the concurrent Suez crisis, and ignorance and indifference about Hungary influenced how UN member states responded to this "internal affair" and its potentially dangerous effects on international relations. Diplomacy and Disregard draws upon previously inaccessible documents, including UN archival materials, Hungarian government and secret service papers, and personal collections held by UN officials across the globe, to reveal the UN's contradictory rhetorical and practical responses to the Hungarian Revolution. Through detailed overviews alongside case studies of individual diplomats and specific controversies, András Nagy traces the UN's reactions to Hungarian and Soviet authorities' blocking of resolutions and denunciation of the UN as an enemy power, its need to use the International Committee of the Red Cross as a channel for its humanitarian aid, and its inability to legitimize revolutionary leaders and allow them to represent and act on Hungary's behalf. Reports riddled with inconsistencies, failures to call emergency sessions and fulfill information requests, and lackluster responses to known acts of terror and espionage demonstrated that even at its highest levels of leadership, the UN was not only unable to intervene against the Soviet-supported government but was often unwilling to do so. Diplomacy and Disregard provides an unprecedented look at the global reach and consequences of Hungary's 1956 Revolution and at how the UN's action and inaction during this political crisis ultimately defined its ability to maneuver the Cold War's fraught political landscape and live up to the ideals of its charter.

All Quiet on the Western Front (Im Westen nichts Neues) is a landmark novel by Erich Maria Remarque, first published in 1928 in German and translated into English in 1929. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest anti-war novels, offering a harrowing portrayal of World War I from the perspective of a young German soldier. Remarque himself was a German soldier during World War I, and his experiences heavily influenced the novel. Upon its release, All Quiet on the Western Front became an instant success worldwide but was met with hostility in Nazi Germany, where it was banned and publicly burned for being anti-military. The book's unflinching look at the horrors of war had a profound impact on its readers, contributing to its status as a classic of 20th-century literature. Its universal message about the human cost of war continues to resonate with readers today. The novel has been adapted into multiple films, the most famous being the 1930 American film directed by Lewis Milestone, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture. More recently, a German-language adaptation was released in 2022, bringing renewed attention to Remarque's work.

In four sections, Gulliver's Travels, also known as Journeys into Several Remote Nations of the World, Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and Then a Captain of Several Ships is a 1726 prose satire by the Anglo-Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift that satirizes human nature and the "travelers' tales" literary subgenre. It is Swift's best-known full-length work and an English literature classic. Swift claimed that he wrote Gulliver's Travels "to vex rather than divert the world." The book was an instant success. "It is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery," English dramatist John Gay said. In 2015, Robert McCrum released his list of the 100 best novels of all time, calling Gulliver's Travels a "satirical masterpiece." The journey begins with a brief preamble in which Lemuel Gulliver describes his life and history before his voyages. Gulliver is washed ashore after a shipwreck on his first voyage and becomes a prisoner of a race of tiny people, less than 6 inches (15 cm) tall, who live on the island country of Lilliput. On October 28, 1726, the first edition was published in two volumes for 8s. 6d. Motte published Gulliver's Travels anonymously, and several sequels (Memoirs of the Court of Lilliput...), parodies (Two Lilliputian Odes, The First on the Famous Engine With Which Captain Gulliver Extinguished the Palace Fire...), and "keys" (Gulliver Decipher'd and Lemuel Gulliver's Travels into Several Remote Regions of the World Compendiously Method) were mostly published anonymously (or pseudonymously) and quickly forgotten. Swift had nothing to do with them and renounced them in Faulkner's 1735 edition. Swift's friend Alexander Pope wrote five verses on Gulliver's Travels that Swift liked so much that he included them in the book's second edition, though they are rarely included. In 1735, an Irish publisher named George Faulkner published a collection of Swift's works, Volume III, including Gulliver's Travels.

This 4th edition of the "Mouse Manual"-Manipulating the Mouse Embryo-appears 28 years after the first edition and once again is the definitive reference source on mouse development, transgenesis techniques, and molecular biology. While many of the techniques described in earlier editions of this manual have been relegated to core facilities, advances in DNA sequencing techniques and genome analysis have opened new avenues of research and developments. New approaches, such as the derivation of induced pluripotent stem cells and new targeted gene manipulation techniques that enable direct injection of RNA/DNA constructs into zygotes to achieve gene targeting, require new explanations and protocols. Authors Richard Behringer, Marina Gertsenstein, Kristina Nagy, and Andras Nagy-pre-emininent leaders in their fields-have taken these developments into account in updating and rewriting this fourth edition to include new information and protocols on: - generation of induced pluripotent stem cells- RNA microinjections- lentiviral microinjections and infection- assisted reproduction techniques for sperm and embryo cryopreservation- isolation, generation, and transplantation of spermatogonial stem cell lines- in utero electroporation of gene constructs into postimplantation embryos- vibratome sectioning of live and fixed tissues for imaging thick tissue sections- whole-mount fluorescent staining methods for three-dimensional visualization In addition, the wealth of essential information on mouse laboratory strains, mouse housing and breeding, surgical procedures, assisted reproduction, handling of embryos, and micromanipulation setups has been entirely updated. The first edition of Manipulating the Mouse Embryo appeared in 1986 as an outgrowth of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory courses on the molecular embryology of the mouse held in the early 1980s, and authors of the first two editions included Brigid Hogan, Rosa Beddington, Frank Costantini, and Liz Lacy. The field's technological sophistication has grown exponentially since then, but the manual remains the essential practical and theoretical guide for all students, lab technicians, and investigators who work with mice. I have the third edition. Why should I buy the fourth edition? The new technologies regarding induced pluripotent stem cells and RNA injection and CRISPR technology are changing the field and opening up new avenues of investigation. The protocols for these as well as other up-to-the minute techniques in the fourth edition are by the leading proponents in the field and offer clear step-by-step guidance with copious illustrations. To whom is this edition addressed-the neophyte or the experienced investigator? Both groups can benefit from this manual. For the neophyte, the summary of mouse development and the how-to's of setting up a working laboratory are an invaluable introduction to the field. For the experienced investigator, the detailed protocols of new techniques in the field, with extensive troubleshooting and over-the-shoulder advice, allow easy integration of these techniques into a laboratory's research objectives. Are the protocols in this book better than those available for download on the Web? Many of the protocols available on the Web are perfectly good, but there are many that are not. Reagents are expensive and deadlines are tight. CSHL Press manuals provide protocols that have been formulated and tested in the labs of leading investigators in the field. They are reliable and they work. And they include the context and troubleshooting information that many online protocols do not have. In the case of the protocols in this manual, there is a bit of "art" required in the performance of these protocols. But the experience and advice of these authors provides all of the information needed to achieve success in the lab.
