DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Andrea Hoffpauir can’t do anything right. But she’s ready to prove to everyone that she’s up to any challenge. She’s never been good enough for her father. Her trophy-wife mother is so self-centered that she often forgets Andrea exists. And her best friend Vicky hasn’t forgiven her for the monumental mistake she made. Life keeps kicking her down, and quite frankly, she’s over it. When her older brother Brendan backs out of the father son golf tournament at the club, Andrea volunteers to take his place. She’s determined to show her dad that she’s not as useless as he thinks, and that she’s an excellent golfer. Even if her father doesn’t want to be seen with her on the links or off. During a round at the club, Erik Perday, Vicky’s mortal enemy, acts like a normal human being, and Andrea wonders if all is not what it seems. He’s not the jerk she’s always believed him to be, at least not around her. Is there more to Erik Perday? Andrea feels like her life is spinning, but she’s not sure if it’s spinning out of control or if she's headed in the right direction. She’s determined to prove to everyone that she’s good enough ... including herself. On Par is the final book in the Girls of Summer series, a young adult sports romance.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Bill Pennington, author of the beloved and widely read “On Par” golf column for the New York Times, knows how to interpret the experts and pros for the rest of us. For years, he has traveled the globe in search of golf’s essentials—those basic principles, those elusive truths (and who are we kidding, any trick or quick fix he can pick up along the way) that will improve anyone’s game. He has consulted the world’s leading golf instructors as well as countless caddies, groundskeepers, parking lot attendants, and bartenders. He has played rounds with Tiger Woods, Annika Sorenstam, and Justin Timberlake. He has sought the advice of psychiatrists, physicists, economists, zen masters. And on a particularly bad golf outing, he has even discussed the fickleness of golf with a quite helpful raccoon. On Par captures it all: From equipment and instruction, to the rules and language of golf, to camaraderie and psychology, to the short game/long game debate, Pennington informs and entertains as he gets to the essence of this mercurial game, including golf’s holy grail, the hole in one. Part instruction, part education, part therapy, and shot through with Pennington’s trademark wit, this is a book for everyone who has ever felt the game’s distinct pull—and slice.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Par-4 is a naturally occurring tumor suppressor. Studies have indicated that overexpression of Par-4 selectively induces apoptosis in cancer cells while leaving normal, health, cells unaffected. Mechanisms contributing to this cancer-selective action of Par-4 have been associated with PKA activation of intracellular Par-4 in cancer cells or GRP78 expression primarily on the surface of cancer cells. On the other hand, endogenous Par-4 sensitizes cells to the action of a broad range of apoptotic inducers acting via the extrinsic and intrinsic pathways. A number of binding partners of Par-4 have been identified and shown to regulate Par-4 function in cancer and other diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and major depression. Recent studies have recognized a number of natural products, dietary supplements, synthetic molecules and FDA-approved drugs that induce the secretion of Par-4 protein to cause apoptosis in primary or metastatic tumors, one of which is in clinical trials. More than 50 different laboratories worldwide are involved in Par-4 based research of this unique protein that has progressed from the bench to clinical trials. This second, companion volume will provide a comprehensive overview of Par-4’s role in cancer and other diseases. Chapters are written by leading researchers, and will be useful for a broad audience across the scientific community, particularly students and trainees, who are the next generation of scientists and clinicians to participate in new studies and discoveries on Par-4.
