Steven Lindsay, a university lecturer, is suddenly released from a Soviet labour camp after serving only part of a sentence for what he believes were false charges. With a burning sense of injustice, he returns home to find his family life has changed beyond all recognition. His home is no longer in Glasgow but Fife, his wife is working and his sons are now teenagers with their own ideas of how to live their life. But who are the two men who have influence over his family? How have Duncan Mackenzie, pipe major and the village joiner; and Paul Holland, the vaguely familiar Czech refugee, become so important to his family and why? As a sense of normality returns, Steven discovers the reason for his imprisonment. His realisation eventually comes to a dramatic conclusion on the day of the annual Cowal Highland Games at Dunoon.

Drawing on a series of in-depth interviews illuminating the phenomenology of shame in the general public, Miller systematically explores the various dimensions of the shame experience. The complex relationships between shame and female sexual development, shame and phallic inhibition, and shame and orality are among the topics critically reexamined.

Managing the Drug Discovery Process, Second Edition thoroughly examines the current state of pharmaceutical research and development by providing experienced perspectives on biomedical research, drug hunting and innovation, including the requisite educational paths that enable students to chart a career path in this field.

This new edition takes a closer look at the challenges and opportunities for new medicines and examines not only the current research milieu that will deliver novel therapies, but also how the latest discoveries can be deployed to ensure a robust healthcare and pharmacoeconomic future. All chapters have been revised and expanded with new discussions on remarkable advances including CRISPR and the latest gene therapies, RNA-based technologies being deployed as vaccines as well as therapeutics, checkpoint inhibitors and CAR-T approaches that cure cancer, diagnostics and medical devices, entrepreneurship, and AI. Written in an engaging manner and including memorable insights, this book is aimed at anyone interested in helping to save countless more lives through science. A valuable and compelling resource, this is a must-read for all students, educators, practitioners, and researchers at large—indeed, anyone who touches this critical sphere of global impact—in and around academia and the biotechnology/pharmaceutical industry.

What would it be like to meet your ancestors? Janet Fraser, a young concert pianist, goes to stay at Thornley House, her mother's ancestral home in the Yorkshire Dales and is mysteriously transported back to the early nineteenth century.
