Progress and Prospect of Nanocarriers: Design, Concept, and Recent
Advances examines the different nanocarriers that are currently
being developed for specific applications in biomedical drug
delivery, disease management, diagnosis and therapy. Nanosized drug
delivery systems have gained tremendous amounts of clinical
interest due to their effective bio-distribution and enhanced
pharmacokinetic and selective targeting capability which results in
high therapeutic potential, low side effects, and the generation of
cost-effective drug delivery systems. Numerous effective
nanocarriers have been evolving, including polymeric nanoparticles,
liposomes, microspheres, dendrimers, and carbon nanotubes.This book
is a helpful reference for scientists and students in the fields of
drug delivery, biomaterials and nanomedicine, as well as scientists
and engineers in industrial disciplines of drug delivery and drug
formulation.

Ruhiton Kurmi has been in jail for seven years. Once a notorious
Naxalite a militant leftist revolutionary he is now a withered
shell; a man broken by police torture, racked with fevers and
sores. The only way he can endure his life is by shutting out the
past. But when Ruhiton is moved to a better jail and eventually
freed, memories return to haunt him. Ruhiton inevitably looks back
upon his youth, his marriage, his home in the Himalayan foothills
and he remembers, too, the friends he has killed, the revolutionary
colleagues he worked with, and the ideals he once believed in.
Dark, powerful, and full of ambiguities, the classic novel Fever,
originally written in Bengali in 1977, questions the human cost of
revolution and its inevitable transience. A sensation in its time,
it remains one of the greatest novels about the Naxalite movement.
Fever is an intense look at the universality of militancy,
violence, and civil war, and the power of revolutionary ideals to
seduce young minds.
Haunted by dreams of an unforgettable loss, Rahul, a young man of

their relationship. In response, Rahul tells Andrew a story. About
a boy who lived in a palace. A boy named Rahul. Set in San
Francisco today and in India in the early 1970s, My Magical Palace
is a sensitive tale about a boy's coming of age, and the many
hurdles he must cross to heal and find himself.
