Books about Spanogle from Amazon.com

Straight out of today’s hospitals and labs–and tomorrow’s headlines–comes a frightening, scalpel-sharp thriller from medical insider Joshua Spanogle In an astounding debut, Spanogle takes us on an all-too-real race against time…as a young doctor enters the dark side of scientific research, desperate to stop a terrifying epidemic before it is too late….

In Baltimore’s St. Raphael’s Hospital, three newly admitted patients are among society’s most helpless citizens: female residents of Baltimore’s group homes for the mentally impaired, their bodies racked by a virus the likes of which no one at St. Raphael’s has ever seen.

Dr. Nathaniel McCormick is one of the first on the scene. A young investigator from the Centers for Disease Control, Nate is paid to explore the bizarre, the exotic, and the baffling–from superviruses to bioterrorism. But as soon as Nate begins to investigate the lives and habits of the victims, he knows something is terribly wrong. Using all his skills as a medical detective, Nate soon zeroes in on the “vector”–the one person who had sexual contact with the first victims. And when that suspect is found murdered, Nate fears that the disease he’s chasing may not be an act of nature, but of man.

With his brash style angering his superiors and fellow investigators alike, Nate turns to an old colleague and former lover, Dr. Brooke Michaels, for help. Together the two investigators follow a twisting trail of clues to a discovery that is at once groundbreaking and unspeakable. And as a circle of treachery tightens around him, Nate is about to confront the most chilling revelation of all–and a past Nate himself has been trying to escape.

At once a taut medical thriller and a riveting psychological portrait of a young doctor on the edge, Isolation Ward is a tale of runaway tension–with a brilliant “what-if” premise that is harrowing…heartbreaking…and impossible to wrench from your imagination.

The purpose of this book is to reduce the lack of knowledge of International Sales by creating teaching materials which have CISG as their primary focus. The materials present a systematic examination of the difficult issues that arise out of the international sales transaction. In addition to analyzing the usual litigation situations, the materials also present issues concerning lawyers as problem-solvers planning and structuring transactions so as to allocate risks and avoid litigation. The book is designed for a two credit hour course and is built around a series of problems which systematically examine the various provisions of CISG. CISG cases, both U.S. and foreign, are also set forth. However, since many of the foreign cases are not in English, they are often available only as abstracts through UNCITRAL (CLOUT cases) and UNILEX. The book therefore presents the CLOUT and UNILEX abstracts, which are copyrighted by UNCITRAL and the Rome Institute, respectively, and reprinted with permission. Since CISG is a composite of both civil law and common law concepts, also included are readings that explain these civil law concepts, where they arise in CISG. There are also "Legislation Notes" which explain the UCC Article 2 concepts, when the CISG and the UCC are markedly different. However, the focus throughout is on CISG, and the civil law and UCC readings are explanatory. .
