Synopsis John Cappas by : John Louis Cappas

This is the story of the Chicago criminal legend, John Louis Cappas. To crime buffs, Tall Money is a hellacious and felonious Chicago epic. To younger readers, it's a cautionary and wild tale of drugs and treachery aimed at a generation steeped in bling, casual violence, materialism and coming-of-age incarceration. Tall Money is Risky Business gone terribly, terribly awry. "The soul I once thought John had lost is now seen in all of its human glory. The world of crime and punishment does not produce success stories with any regularity or certainty. I consider John Cappas to be a success story and I am now proud to say I know him well. The best part of my job is when the faith that is placed in another person proves to be justified. John has achieved in ways I never imagined and, I think, will do so even more in the future." Charles P. Kocoras United States District Judge June 26, 2012

Heath learns of a tunnel built under the fences, leading to the other side. But who built it? And why?When the opportunity for liberation arises, the fate of the new world and the legacy of the old one hang in the balance.

Synopsis Novel Antischizophrenia Treatments by : Mark A. Geyer

This volume tries to put current therapy - achievements, shortcomings, remaining medical needs - and emerging new targets into the context of increasing knowledge regarding the genetic and neurodevelopmental contributions to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Some of the chapters also deal with respective experimental and clinical methodology, biomarkers, and translational aspects of drug development. The volume concentrates on reviewing the ongoing research attempting to identify novel treatments for the cognitive deficits and negative symptoms of schizophrenia, which are not treated adequately by current antipsychotic medications.
