by Gary J. Rose (Author) In the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster, whispers of mutant wolves thriving in the irradiated wasteland catch the attention of a team of daring researchers. Eager to uncover the truth and potentially harness the creatures' biology for medical breakthroughs, they embark on a perilous journey into the heart of the exclusion zone. Led by Dr. Heath Sterling, a brilliant researcher, the team of six young researchers sneaks into Pripyat's desolate city under the darkness. Their mission: to collect blood samples from the mutant wolves rumored to roam the abandoned streets, possibly carrying a cure for cancer. However, upon their arrival, they are met with a grisly sight-the shredded remnants of a rival research team, a stark warning of the dangers lurking in the shadows. Undeterred by the ominous discovery, the researchers press on, setting up a makeshift base camp within the confines of an apartment complex. With bait and tranquilizer guns in hand, they venture into the eerie silence of the city, hoping to sedate and study the elusive mutant blood samples. But their plans take a sinister turn when they become the hunted. The researchers encounter creatures that defy explanation-hybrids of wolf and human, their eyes gleaming with predatory intelligence and their stature almost 7 feet tall. In a desperate bid for survival, the team fights back against the relentless onslaught, but tragedy strikes as one of their own falls victim to the savage beasts. Driven by grief and fury, the survivors resolve to take the fight to the creatures' lair, a decision that will test their courage and determination to the limit. Armed with improvised weapons and fueled by a fierce determination to uncover the truth, they embark on a treacherous journey into the depths of the Chernobyl wasteland. As they confront the horrors lurking in the shadows, the researchers soon realize that their mission is far from over. In a climactic showdown, they must confront the mutant wolves and the dark secrets in Pripyat's ruins. But as they face the ultimate test of their strength and resolve, they wonder if they are the hunters or the prey. Number of Pages: 196 Dimensions: 0.56 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN

Award-winning economist Mariana Mazzucato's famously incisive international bestseller debunking the pervasive myth of the inept state versus an innovative private sector—with a new preface by the authorAccording to conventional wisdom, innovation is best left to the bold entrepreneurs of the private sector, and government should get out of the way. But what if that wasn't case? What if, from the inventions of Silicon Valley to medical breakthroughs, the public sector has actually been the most courageous and valuable risk-taker of all?Critically acclaimed and influential thinker and scholar Mariana Mazzucato argues comprehensively against the myth of a lumbering, bureaucratic state versus a dynamic, innovative private sector with remarkable original and deep research. In a series of case studies—from nanotechnology to the emerging green tech of today—Mazzucato reveals that the opposite is true: the private sector only finds the courage to invest after an entrepreneurial state has made the high-risk investments. The Entrepreneurial State reveals how every technology that makes the iPhone so "smart" was actually funded by the government—from the Internet and GPS technology, to touch-screen displays and voice-activated Siri.In the history of modern capitalism, the State has not only fixed market failures, but has also actively shaped and created markets. In doing so, it sometimes wins and sometimes fails. Yet by not admitting the State's role in active risk taking, we've created an "innovation system" where the public sector socializes risks while privatizing reward, as Mazzucato controversially argues. This bold and provocative book considers how we adopted this dysfunctional dynamic, and then how we can overcome it so that economic growth can be not only "smart" but "inclusive" as well.

There is serious concern about the potential conflicts of interest in partnerships between medical doctors and pharmaceutical companies. But scientific progress and improvements in human health depend on these collaborations so policies around these partnerships need not be extreme. The authors argue for revisiting these regulations and replacing them with rules that recognize both true conflicts and true confluences of interest and uphold principles of independence and objectivity, academic freedom, and the right to advance science through dissemination of knowledge gained.
