Canine Parvovirus: A New Pathogen
Canine parvovirus (CPV), a new virus of the Canidae firstappeared during the 1970s, but disease caused by this viruswas not reported until 1978. Then within a few months thevirus crossed national and continental boundaries causinghigh fatality in domestic dog populations. A similar patternof transmission was seen in sylvatic canines but infectionwas largely subclinical. Between 1979 and 1981 CPV wasreplaced worldwide by an antigenic variant designatedCPV-2a. The epidemiological advantage of this variant overCPV is not understood.CPV is a new pathogen of dogs that has attracted animpressive body of research. However aspects of the biologyof this virus remain unclear, not least of which is thequestionof its possible origin. This book presents an up todate and comprehensive review of the natural history of CPVand its control by prophylactic vaccination. Particularattention is paid to the techniques used to examine therelationship between CPV and other parvoviruses. CPV isthought to be a variant of the virulent cat virus FPV(feline parvovirus) and at least one other variant is knownMEV (mink enteritis virus). Theories on the genesis of CPVare discussed. An attempt to correlate the evidence and anhypothetical mechanism by which such a variant could havebeen selected is offered. This hypothesis is complemented byserological evidenceof CPV seroconversion in clinicallynormal dogs some years prior to the virulent pandemic.Many animal parvoviruses are known and in 1989/1990, no lessthan 6 new viruses were described. CPV may have arisen froman FPV vaccine strain. The use of modified live vaccines forthe control of these viruses is questioned and alternativestrategies discussed.A consise chapter on human parvoviruses describes the everincreasing role of B19 in human disease, including that ofan opportunistic pathogen in AIDS patients.

In the Ring With Marvin Hart
This the the first biography ever written on Marvin Hart, the forgotten heavyweight champion from the South. Hart gained popularity as a middleweight and light-heavyweight in the Louisville, Kentucky area before moving up to heavyweight and defeating the highly touted top contender Jack Johnson. Hart then won the vacant world's heavyweight championship in a fight to the finish against Jack Root. Like other books in Pollack's "In the Ring" series, this book is meticulously researched using next-day local primary source materials, and details Hart's boxing career.

Marvin E. Newman. Photographs 1949–1983
In 1952, after becoming one of the first-ever recipients of a Master of Science degree in Photography at Chicago’s Institute of Design, native New Yorker Marvin E. Newman returned to his hometown. Like many artists before, he set about chronicling the city. Unlike his predecessors, Newman chose color photography as the preeminent medium for capturing the people and energy of New York, and its emergence in the 1950s as the self-proclaimed “Greatest City in the World.”Lauded by the likes of Eastman House, MoMA, and the International Center of Photography, Newman’s images remained, up until now, largely undiscovered beyond a prestigious collector and gallery circle. After featuring Newman in New York: Portrait of a City, TASCHEN now presents the artist’s first career monograph including some 170 pictures from the late 1940s through the early 1980s, previously available in a Collector’s Edition. Newman passed away in 2023 at the age of 95.From Times Square to Wall Street, from Broadway to Little Italy, Newman’s vivid, original tableaux offer fresh perspectives on familiar New York landmarks but, above all, a unique sense for life in the city and for the drama and extremities that weld New York to so many hearts. Beyond New York, Newman applies the same flawless technique and humanist sensibility to other locations across the United States including Chicago, Kansas, a vintage 1950s circus; a legalized brothel in Reno, Nevada; Las Vegas; Alaska; and groovy 1960s California; as well as top shots from his sports photography portfolio featuring icons such as Cassius Clay and Pele´.Newman, who is represented by the prestigious Howard Greenberg Gallery, was long overdue a monograph. With an essay by critic and scholar Lyle Rexer, this first chronological retrospective offers due recognition to an outstanding talent, providing memorable images that leave their mark on the eye and the soul.
