No longer the land of the free. But home of a few brave souls. From #1 New York Times bestselling author Ellen Hopkins comes an edge-of-your-seat novel about two teens struggling to survive in a radicalized, militarized United States. The United States government, now called the Confederation, has redefined what it means to be “American.” The parameters are narrow; the exceptions few. In danger and on the run, two teens who fall outside the “correct” Confederation designation must join forces on a thousand mile journey north for safety. But survival means relying on strangers and not everyone is who they appear to be. Who do you turn to when the only person you can trust is yourself, and one wrong whisper can be the difference between freedom and imprisonment, life and death?

Pattyn Von Stratten searches for love and acceptance and discovers what it takes to rise from the ashes in this riveting duology told in verse from #1 New York Times bestselling author Ellen Hopkins. In Burned, it all started with a dream, the kind of dream that most teen girls experience. But Pattyn Von Stratten is not like most teen girls. Raised in a religious—yet abusive—family, a simple dream may not be exactly a sin, but it could be the first step toward hell and eternal damnation. After Pattyn’s father catches her in a compromising position, events spiral out of control. Pattyn is sent to live with an aunt in the wilds of Nevada to find salvation and redemption. What she finds instead is love and acceptance—until she realizes her old demons will not let her go. In Smoke, Pattyn Von Stratten is on the run. After far too many years of abuse at the hands of her father, and after a tragic loss, Pattyn is desperate for peace. Only her sister Jackie knows what happened, but she is stuck at home with their mother, who clings to normalcy by allowing the truth to be covered up by their domineering community leaders. Without Pattyn, Jackie is desperately isolated. Is it even possible to rebuild a life when everything you’ve known has burned to ash and lies seem far safer than the truth?

The complete New York Times bestselling Crank trilogy is now available with exclusive bonus content. This boxed set makes a perfect gift and features trade paperback editions of Crank, Glass, and Fallout with striking new covers and special bonus content, including an essay from author Ellen Hopkins on the true story behind Crank and an essay from her daughter, the real “Kristina.” In Crank you’ll meet Kristina—and Kristina will meet crank. Acting under the guise of her alter ego, Bree, Kristina explores drugs, sex, and her own dark side. A new mother struggling—and failing—to stay clean, Kristina’s downward spiral continues in Glass, and the outcome is chronicled in Fallout, which follows the lives of three of her children. They find themselves pulled toward the one person who links them together, yet discover that it is in each other, and in themselves, that they find the trust, the courage, the hope to break the cycle. This stunning trilogy from a master poet and #1 New York Times bestselling author with nearly 3.5 million books in print is a testament to the harsh reality that addiction is never just one person’s problem.

Polluted air commonly contains suspended particulate matter (PM), including large numbers of particles in the ultrafine or nano size fraction. Epidemiological and toxicological research indicates an association between the particulate component of air pollution and adverse respiratory and cardiovascular health effects in humans. The relationship between airborne particles and the observed health effects is not yet well understood mechanistically, although particle size and chemical composition appear to be critical factors conferring potential toxicity. We hypothesized that inhaled particulate of sufficiently small size could contribute to the observed health effects by entering the brain via olfactory nerve tracts and provoking a pro-inflammatory response in targeted tissues. To investigate the hypothesis, we undertook a series of experiments in which mice were briefly exposed to nanoparticle aerosols. In separate experiments, mice were exposed to aerosols of ultrafine iron oxide (Fe2O3) or CdSe-ZnS nanocrystals (quantum dots). Following exposure, respiratory tract and central nervous system tissues were examined for the presence of these particles and exposure-related biological responses. Olfactory-derived primary cell cultures also were exposed to quantum dots. Particles were detected using a combination of techniques including standard and fluorescent light microscopy, electron microscopy, and elemental analysis. Responses were measured using histochemical and biochemical methods.In mice exposed to ultrafine iron oxide aerosols, we found evidence of particle uptake and pro-inflammatory responses in the lung and the olfactory bulb. In mice exposed to quantum dot aerosols, we found evidence of particle uptake and pro-inflammatory responses in the olfactory bulb. Uptake was more pronounced for quantum dots than iron, with quantum dots detected in olfactory bulbs less than three hours post-exposure. Electron microscopy revealed quantum dots within axons of the olfactory nerve tracts connecting the nasal mucosa to the olfactory bulbs. Following in vitro exposure, we found evidence of selective uptake of quantum dots by distinct subpopulations of cells. In mixed glia-neuron cultures, particle uptake was most prominent in microglia, while in olfactory epithelial cultures particle uptake was essentially limited to unidentified cells morphologically similar to olfactory stem cells. Our results clearly demonstrate that inhaled particles can enter the brain via olfactory nerves.
