A compilation of reviews of music so dire it should never be listened to.

Make no mistake about this, 101 Albums To Die Before You Hear is all about love.

Love for music, love for writing and, most importantly, love for life. Here’s a book to prevent you wasting a single second of that precious life listening to dross. Here’s a book to challenge the canonical lists of dead white males and their guitar wank, a book that wants you to know how much else there is out there and is fierce in its condemnation of the mediocre, the obvious, the boring, the reactionary and the bigoted. A book to move, provoke, inspire and outrage.

101 Albums… is beautifully illustrated throughout with sharply witty takes on classic album covers by celebrated French artist Vincent Vanoli.

Masterminded and edited by notorious music critic Everett True, the book is a must-have for anyone interested in writing about music, as well as those provoked by uncritical, uninspiring praise for the same old rock suspects. Among the victims/subjects of the chapters are The Doors, Radiohead, Flaming Lips, The Fall, Kate Bush, The Police, The Smiths and Frank Zappa. Prepare to have your sacred cows slaughtered.

Rejected Unknown is a community-based, not-for-profit company and will be ploughing any income from the sale of 101 Albums… into future projects, including the publication of Everett True’s biography The Electrical Storm. It operates as a consciously gender-equal space, so that non-male writers are sought out and given space to express their point of view.

The Inner World of a Suicidal Youth: What Every Parent and Health Professional Should Know

Millie Osborne, “The Inner World of a Suicidal Youth: What Every Parent and Health Professional Should Know”
2007 | ISBN-10: 0313348553 | 176 pages | PDF | 1 MB

Electra is a well-loved, beautiful, highly intelligent teenager. Yet, as is not uncommon, she becomes so depressed she contemplates suicide, considering it for years until she finally takes action. Electra’s diary, discovered after her death and presented here by a psychiatrist, reveals her first-person reflections through to her fatal college year, showing how thought distortions are caused and how they chip away at self-esteem and the will to survive. In addition to enlightening professionals and aspiring professionals, this work will empower parents to identify and address growing dimensions in their children’s development, and understand the struggles they face. And the end result is that Electra’s diary teaches us all a lot about changes that are needed so that we can develop effective suicide prevention and treatment strategies, says author Millie Osborne, M.D. Suicide is now a public health crisis. It is the third leading cause of death for youths aged 15 to 24, and the fourth leading cause of death for children aged 10 to 14. As author Osborne explains, Existing approaches to preventing youth suicide have had little impact on reducing the number of suicides and suicide attempts across America. By unveiling the private thoughts of a suicidal teenager in this unprecedented book, Osborne hopes that the legacy of Electra will be an understanding of the adolescent mind that will spur more effective means to recognize, treat, and heal those at risk, and so vastly reduce suicide among our youths.

Stem Cells in Cancer: Should We Believe or Not? (Repost)

Stem Cells in Cancer: Should We Believe or Not? By Enrique Grande, Luis Antón Aparicio
2014 | 299 Pages | ISBN: 9401787530 | PDF | 5 MB

This volume explores the latest developments in a novel area of molecular biology and a hot topic in the field of oncology: cancer stem cells. These chapters from expert contributing authors present concepts such as the universal stem cell, new molecular pathways, new targeted agents, the different roles that cancer stem cells seem to have according to the organ they are placed in, and the future role that targeting cancer stem cells may have in the management of patients in the clinic.
Exploring the latest research including new data from randomized trials, this book examines important proposals over the origin of cancer stem cells such as the possibility that cancer stem cells may arise from mutated stem cells or a fully differentiated cell that may undergo several mutations that drive it back to a stem-like state. The authors consider the role that stem cells seem to have in the onset, development and resistance to classical antitumoral treatments of cancer and discuss possible potential future treatment modalities for the management of advanced cancer patients.
The question, “Are stem cells involved in cancer?” may not have a simple answer, but ongoing investigations, in-depth consideration and a broad spectrum of information can be found in this book, allowing the reader to arrive at his or her own answer.
This book will appeal to researchers in the field of oncology and cancer research and biomedical scientists with an interest in stem cells.
