Ionia: Land of Wise Men and Fair Women (1898) is a utopian novel by
Alexander Craig. Published with illustrations by renowned German
American artist J. C. Leyendecker, Ionia: Land of Wise Men and Fair
Women is Craig's only known novel. Noted for its blend of science
fiction and political theory, Craig's work is among the many novels
of the late-nineteenth century to predict the future of air travel.
Unlike other utopian tales of the time, however, the author's
vision of a perfect society is built on conservative values. It is
also notable for its depiction of severe punishment and overall
anti-Semitism. When London banker David Musgrave dies, he leaves
his wife and young son a sizable fortune. While raising Alexander,
Musgrave's widow devoted herself to philanthropy in their village.
Now a young man forging his own path in London, he learns of a
newly discovered country in the Himalayas. Alongside his friend
Jason Delphion, he travels by aircraft across the world to see
Ionia for himself. There, he learns that the people of the valley
descended from Greek mercenaries who fled to the Himalayas during
the conquest of Persia by Alexander the Great. Isolated, they lived
for centuries as farmers and soldiers until, returning from Europe,
a prince brought knowledge of modern technology back to Ionia. From
then on, their society flourished, surpassing by far any other in
human history. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally
typeset manuscript, this edition of Alexander Craig's Ionia: Land
of Wise Men and Fair Women is a classic work of utopian literature
reimagined for modern readers.

Pediatric Neoplasia: Advances in Molecular Pathology and
Translational Medicine presents many of the major, relevant
advances in molecular pathology that are occurring in the field of
pediatric oncology and will serve as a useful overview for resident
and attending physicians as well as scientists interested in
understanding the molecular pathology of pediatric cancer in the
context of clinical medicine. Chapters are based upon organ
systems, and each is written by an expert or pair of experts in
their field with subspecialty training and extensive clinical
experience. Each chapter describes a variable number of tumors and
includes an overview of the classification system and
clinicopathological characteristics of each tumor. This is followed
by a discussion of the molecular pathology relevant to a specific
tumor, including specific molecular markers of the tumors, methods
used for diagnosis or clinical management, clinical significance of
the markers, and if appropriate, a description or discussion of
current activities in translational research or issues that need to
be addressed in the future. Pediatric Neoplasia: Advances in
Molecular Pathology and Translational Medicine will be of great
value to pathologists, oncologists, hematologists, internal
medicine and pediatric specialists, as well as pharmaceutical
professionals and translational and clinical researchers.
