"Ines Geipel's book 'Behind the Wall: My Brother, My Family and Hatred in East Germany' offers a unique perspective on the behaviors and attitudes in contemporary eastern Germany. Through a combination of family biography, personal reflection, historical accounts, and psychological interrogation, Geipel explores the tradition of silence and forgetting that developed over three generations in her family. The book delves into the patriarchal societies of the Nazi period and the GDR, examining the responsibility of those around male authority figures and highlighting societal silences and myths. Geipel's message is a call for a constructive culture of debate about the past and its impact on the present." [Extracted from the article]

In Man Walks into a Room, Nicole Krauss offers valuable ways of thinking about 11 September's prehistory, and to some extent, its aftermath. She does so through her exploration of the consciousness of the main character, Samson Greene's consciousness. This development includes careful attention to a sense of place in historical context that allows a space for the reader's role to emerge as witness. As such, Krauss's narration urges readers to consider tensions between individual freedom and loneliness, and between American progressive ideals and more fragile, post 11 September global identities.

Being given information also on the treatment of brain tumors, diffusion, perfusion, and PET imaging is also briefly discussed in Chapter 4. In my opinion, a wider knowledge, achievable with further publications, is needed to better understand the actual role of PET and of hybrid imaging, either PET/CT or PET/MRI. Being able to provide all the most important and characterizing neuroradiological data achievable in brain neoplasms, using MRI (or CT), the publication has to be integrated with further information achievable with PET and hybrid imaging.
