Summer of Caprice, a captivating comic novel first published in
1926, is a classic of Czech literature, yet it is little known
elsewhere. Commonly considered untranslatable due to the
complexities of the text, which is characterized by a playful
narrative and an exceptional mastery of language, and its profound
cultural context, it is rendered here in English that beautifully
captures Vladislav Vancura's experimental style or, as the author
himself called it, his "poetism in prose." Mixing the archaic with
the innovative, raw colloquialisms with biblical quotations, Summer
of Caprice opens an uproarious window onto the Czech spirit, humor,
and way of life.
This book discusses current challenges related to teaching
geography, mainly at the secondary school and higher education
level. Focusing on a range of current topics, different methods,
techniques, materials, applications, and approaches to geography
education with a regional Central European perspective, the book
makes an original contribution to the field. Most of the chapters
aims at the practical development of the themes such as geography
curriculum (Part I), global education, inquiry-based education,
project-based learning, case studies, powerful teaching (Part II),
using of information and communication technologies (Part III) in
geography teaching. The final part (Part IV) covers some
geopolitical, and socio-geographical aspects of the aforementioned
Central European former communist countries from the point of view
how to teach them with various methods. Therefore, the book can
appeal to many geography or science students, researchers and
educators studying geography education around the world.

Through many recent remarkable developments, perhaps the most
significant advancements in the study of transcriptional regulation
are the development of genome-wide approaches for measuring gene
expression, exemplified by gene chips (chip), and chromatin
immunoprecipitation assays (ChIP) for measuring in vivo protein-DNA
interactions at any genomic loci. Transcriptional Regulation:
Methods and Protocols takes this progress and builds upon it with a
collection of key protocols used in expert laboratories around the
world. Divided into four convenient sections, this detailed volume
explores promoter elements, transcription factors, and
preinitiation complex (PIC) assembly, chromatin structure,
chromatin modifying complexes, and RNA synthesis and regulation.
Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology (TM)
series format, chapters include introductions to their respective
topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents,
step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and vital
tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Comprehensive
and accessible, Transcriptional Regulation: Methods and Protocols
equally serves senior researchers and scientists experienced in
transcriptional regulation as well as graduate students and
scientists who wish to study transcriptional regulation for the
first time.
As membrane trafficking research has expanded over the past thirty
years, a remarkable convergence of information has been gained by
using genetic approaches in yeast cells with biochemical approaches
in mammalian cells. This book reflects these advances by devoting
one section of the book to yeast cells and the other to mammalian
cells, with each section providing both classic and cutting-edge
techniques to study macromolecular transport across the membranes.

A Chronicle style tale of a man of legend in his world. Follow his
past, present and future stories in this semi blog format. Wherein
not only L.J. Stevans posts but others from his life posts about
and sometimes to him. His beginnings appear humble but his life
turns on a dime at the age of 14 when he witnesses his Mothers
murder. Follow his journey from boy to Folk Hero to a man just
trying to figure out the strange circumstances that surround his
life. Never did he imagine that some day the fate of a generation
would rest on his shoulders I never asked to be a hero. Nor did I
ask to be born this way. However, I can't change the road I am
walking now. Some paths must be taken to mold you into the person
you were meant to be. I know that now. Still, it does not define
me, or guide my actions. Normal was never an option. I am L.J.
Stevans and I am incapable of telling a lie.
