Hormones, Cognition and Dementia: State of the Art and Emergent Therapeutic Strategies: State of the Art and Emergent Therapeutic Strategies
A decade ago, oestrogen-containing hormone therapy was viewed as a promising strategy for the prevention and treatment of dementia and age-related cognitive decline. However, treatment trials in women with Alzheimer's disease showed that oestrogens did not reverse cognitive impairment, and clinical trials in healthy older women indicated that oestrogens did not prevent cognitive decline. The Women's Health Initiative Memory Study trial even suggested an increased risk of dementia with treatment late in life. What happened? How are we to understand these findings? What are the implications for middle-aged and older women? What about testosterone, and what about men? And where do we go from here? This book brings together world-renowned experts in basic and clinical research on sex steroids, aging, and cognition to integrate existing findings with emerging new data, and offer challenging hypotheses on these key issues.

Hound of the Baskervilles
Sherlock Holmes, legendarily-if fictionally-the world's first consulting detective, returns for his third novel-length adventure in this 1902 work, originally serialized in the Strand Magazine from August 1901 to April 1902. When Holmes and his sidekick and biographer Dr. Watson are called to Dartmoor, in the English countryside, to investigate the strange circumstances surrounding the death of Sir Charles Baskerville, they find much more than merely one mysteriously dead body. A curse bedevils the entire Baskerville family, and now hangs over the head of Sir Charles's heir, Sir Henry. And then there's that hellish beast of a hound that is haunting the moor... Scottish surgeon and political activist SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE (1859-1930) turned his passions into stories and novels, producing fiction and nonfiction works sometimes controversial (The Great Boer War, 1900), sometimes fanciful (The Coming of the Fairies, 1922), and sometimes legendary (The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, 1892).

House of Huawei: The Secret History of China's Most Powerful Company: The Secret History of China's Most Powerful Company
"Authoritative... a tale that sits at the heart of the most significant geopolitical relationship today." - Financial Times "There's probably no better account of China's rise to economic dominance as seen through the prism of a single company." - The Wall Street Journal ABOUT THE BOOK The untold story of the mysterious company that shook the world. On the coast of southern China, an eccentric entrepreneur spent three decades steadily building an obscure telecom company into one of the world's most powerful technological empires with hardly anyone noticing. This all changed in December 2018, when the detention of Meng Wanzhou, Huawei Technologies' female scion, sparked an international hostage standoff, poured fuel on the US-China trade war, and suddenly thrust the mysterious company into the global spotlight. In House of Huawei, Washington Post technology reporter Eva Dou pieces together a remarkable portrait of Huawei's reclusive founder, Ren Zhengfei, and how he built a sprawling corporate empire--one whose rise Western policymakers have become increasingly obsessed with halting. Based on wide-ranging interviews and painstaking archival research, House of Huawei dissects the global web of power, money, influence, surveillance, bloodshed, and national glory that Huawei helped to build--and that has also ensnared it.
