Dormont Borough, incorporated in 1909, had slightly less than
10,000 citizens when I lived there in the 1950's. It had no
streets, only avenues, and many of them named after the states of
the union-like a Monopoly board. Its two connected business
districts on Potomac and West Liberty Avenues provided tidy
commercial areas that filled the needs of its citizens. I once
counted 14 bars. And most prominent of all, Dormont's 26-acre park
stood at the heart of the borough. It had a huge swimming pool, a
number of athletic fields and many alcoves to hide in. Picnics,
sports events, dances, sled riding, proms at the bathhouse,
fireworks on Memorial Day (which we typically called Dormont Day)
gave its citizens an extraordinarily encapsulated experience. From
our point of view, Dormont Park, and, in fact, Dormont itself, was
complete.
The Burial of My Cat II tells the story of a young man as he
wanders through the first few years of his life. It begins the day
he becomes aware of the future. He remembers a good bit of what has
gone on before and recognizes the names and faces of his cousins
and uncles and while he feels on friendly ground, he senses
everything will now depend on him. He feels insecure and for the
first time in his life worries about what lies ahead. Those around
him mark no change. He is just a nice little boy growing up as he
should.
Jonathan Laurence has been displaced from his job by a corporate
merger and is down to his last few thousand dollars, when a
violent, chance encounter places him in the company of Curtis and
Don Ed, two unsuccessful criminals. In a desperate measure to
maintain his social status, Jonathan and his new associates plan a
robbery which goes very badly wrong. In the aftermath Jonathan
takes off for St. Martin with Don Ed's topless dancer girlfriend,
Tiffany. When a valuable treasure is discovered missing, Jonathan
and Tiffany are pursued in the Caribbean by a cast of dangerous and
unsavory characters. This is a hilarious adventure with colorful
but likable characters who can't seem to get anything right.
This book explains the anatomy and physiology of cartilage tissue
in an integrated way. The emphasis is on how cartilage tissue
functions and maintains homeostasis in a challenging mechanical
environment. Supported by hundreds of references, the book posts
new hypotheses explaining how cartilage adapts and achieves
homeostasis in vivo, and tests them against available data. This
exploratory approach creates a sense of discovery that the reader
can join, or perhaps test themselves through their own research.
The main benefit will be obtained by research students and
professors looking to understand the deeper concepts that will
further their own research, or clinicians (including health
professionals and surgeons) who want to gain a deeper physiological
understanding of cartilage tissue, which can then serve as a basis
for more rational clinical decision-making they need to make on a
daily basis. To help bridge the gap between basic science and
clinically relevant joint disease, applications and interpretations
of key physiological concepts are discussed in the context of
osteoarthritis at the end of most chapters.
