However, for humans, it is a vitamin that needs constant replenishment in the diet. While its role as an anti-oxidant and for preventing scurvy have been known for a long time, novel functions and unrecognized associations continue to be identified for this enigmatic molecule. In the past decade, new details have emerged regarding differences in its uptake by oral and intravenous modes. While vitamin C deficiency remains largely unknown and poorly addressed in many segments of the population, novel pharmacological roles for high-dose, intravenous vitamin C in many disease states have now been postulated and investigated. This has shifted its role in health and disease from the long-perceived notion as merely a vitamin and an anti-oxidant to a pleiotropic molecule with a broad anti-inflammatory, epigenetic, and anti-cancer profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Special Issue comprises original research papers and reviews on vitamin C metabolism and function that relate to the following topics: understanding its role in the modulation of inflammation and immunity, therapeutic applications and safety of pharmacological ascorbate in disease, and the emerging role of vitamin C as a pleiotropic modulator of critical care illness and cancer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49852146843921,"sku":"CIN0385501161VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51350905782545,"sku":"CIN0385501161G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0385501161.jpg?v=1751228810"},{"product_id":"until-the-sea-shall-free-them-book-robert-frump-9781591142843","title":"Until the Sea Shall Free Them","description":"`A spellbinding and eloquent story of tragedy, courage, and the triumph of one man determined to see that his shipmates did not die in vain.’ –Mark Bowden, author of Black Hawk Down  In 1983 the Marine Electric, a reconditioned World War II vessel, was on a routine voyage thirty miles off the East coast of the United States when disaster struck. As the old coal carrier sank, chief mate Bob Cusick watched his crew succumb to the mountainous waves and sub-zero winds of the Atlantic. Of the thirty-four men aboard, Cusick was one of only three to survive. And he soon found himself facing the most critical decision of his life – whether to stand by the merchant marine officer’s unspoken code of silence, or to tell the truth about why his crew had been unnecessarily sacrificed at sea. Cusick chose to blow the whistle.  Until the Sea Shall Free Them describes in compelling detail the wreck of the Marine Electric and the legal drama that unfolded in its wake. In a bitter lawsuit with owners of the ship, Cusick emerged victorious. His exposé of government inaction led to vital reforms in the laws regarding the safety of ships, and his courageous stand places his among the unsung heroes of our time.  About the Author Robert Frump, a former maritime writer and investigative reporter for the Philadelphia Inquirer, won the George Polk Award for National Reporting for his stories on the Marine Electric disaster. He lives in Summit, New Jersey.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50273378402577,"sku":"CIN1591142849A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51038527521041,"sku":"NIN9781591142843","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52107069489425,"sku":"CIN1591142849G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52487176552721,"sku":"NLS9781591142843","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53375528370449,"sku":"CIN1591142849VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53397295759633,"sku":"GOR007614660","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1591142849.jpg?v=1751056787"},{"product_id":"man-eaters-of-eden-book-robert-frump-9781592288922","title":"The Man-Eaters of Eden","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50919280705809,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50919284539665,"sku":"CIN1592288928VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1592288928.jpg?v=1750798853"},{"product_id":"until-the-sea-shall-free-them-book-robert-frump-9780099579243","title":"Until The Sea Shall Free Them","description":"In 1983, the freighter Marine Electric ran into a violent storm off the Eastern Seaboard of the United States.
