Kay Lansing, who has grown up in Englewood, New Jersey, is the daughter
of the landscaper to the wealthy and powerful Carrington family. Their
mansion—a historic 17th-century manor house transported stone by stone
from Wales in 1848—has a hidden chapel. One day, accompanying her
father to work, six-year-old Kay succumbs to curiosity and sneaks into
the chapel. There, she overhears a quarrel between a man and a woman
who is demanding money from him. When she says that this will be the
last time, his caustic response is: “I heard that song before.”
That same evening, the Carrington’s hold a formal dinner dance after
which Peter Carrington, a student at Princeton, drives home Susan
Althorp, the eighteen-year-old daughter of neighbors. While her parents
hear her come in, she is not in her room the next morning and is never
seen or heard from again.
Throughout the years, a cloud of suspicion hangs over Peter Carrington.
At age forty-two, head of the family business empire, he is still “a
person of interest” in the eyes of the police, not only for Susan
Althorp’s disappearance but also for the subsequent drowning death of
his own pregnant wife in their swimming pool.
Kay, now living in New York and working as a librarian in Englewood,
goes to see Peter. Kay sees Peter as maligned and misunderstood, and
she soon falls in love with him. Over the objections of her beloved
grandmother, she marries him. To her dismay, she soon finds that he is
a sleepwalker whose nocturnal wanderings draw him to the spot at the
pool where his wife met her end.
Kay develops gnawing doubts about her husband. She believes that the
key to the truth about his guilt or innocence lies in the scene she
witnessed as a child in the chapel and knows she must learn the
identity of the man and woman who quarreled there that day. What Kay
does not know is that uncovering what lies behind these memories may
put her own life in danger…

The first edition of Human Genome Epidemiology, published in 2004,
discussed how the epidemiologic approach provides an important
scientific foundation for studying the continuum from gene
discovery to the development, applications and evaluation of human
genome information in improving health and preventing disease.
Since that time, advances in human genomics have continued to occur
at a breathtaking pace.
With contributions from leaders in the field from around the world,
this new edition is a fully updated look at the ways in which
genetic factors in common diseases are studied. Methodologic
developments in collection, analysis and synthesis of data, as well
as issues surrounding specific applications of human genomic
information for medicine and public health are all discussed. In
addition, the book focuses on practical applications of human
genome variation in clinical practice and disease prevention.
Students, clinicians, public health professionals and policy makers
will find the book a useful tool for understanding the rapidly
evolving methods of the discovery and use of genetic information in
medicine and public health in the 21st century.

From the boardrooms to the court rooms, this is the gripping story of
how Apple became the world's most valuable company, and of the
lawmakers and entrepreneurs determined to knock it off its pedestal.
Since the invention of the iPhone and App Store, Apple has built a near
unassailable market power, controlling not only commerce, but also
culture, and - increasingly - the flow of ideas.
In response, a loose rebel alliance of tech entrepreneurs has formed to
lay siege to Apple, bringing together Epic Games' Tim Sweeney,
Spotify's Daniel Ek, X's Elon Musk and WeChat's Pony Ma. In the
trenches of popular opinion and now in the courtrooms of Europe and the
United States, this rebellion aims to tear down Apple's walls and
dismantle its alleged monopoly.
iWar weaves together the story of Apple's rise and reign with the
political and international forces arrayed against it in the fight over
control of the global digital economy. The stakes couldn't be higher.
