This two-volume treatise, the collected effort of more than 50
authors, represents the first comprehensive survey of the chemistry
and biology of the set of molecules known as peptide growth
factors. Although there have been many symposia on this topic, and
numerous publications of reviews dealing with selected subsets of
growth factors, the entire field has never been covered in a single
treatise. It is essential to do this at the present time, as the
number of journal articles on peptide growth factors now makes it
almost impossible for anyone person to stay informed on this
subject by reading the primary literature. At the same time it is
becoming increasingly apparent that these substances are of
universal importance in biology and medicine and that the original
classification of these molecules, based on the laboratory setting
of their discovery, as "growth factors," "lymphokines,"
"cytokines," or "colony stimulating factors," was quite
artifactual; they are in fact the basis of a com mon language for
intercellular communication. As a set they affect essentially every
cell in the body, and in this regard they provide the basis to
develop a unified science of cell biology, germane to all of
biomedical research. This treatise is divided into four main
sections. After three introductory chapters, its principal focus is
the detailed description of each of the major peptide growth
factors in 26 individual chapters."

This lyrical volume of poetry is well crafted and rooted in
specific natural detail. The images of the poems draw on all
seasons and a breadth of family life and experience. The reader
will recognize the emotions as personal with a universal truth, but
will also experience each poem as new and poignant. The author's
childhood in the Missouri Ozarks is vividly portrayed in the poems.
The poet's voice is strong, sure and original, unflinching in
facing the harshest realities of life and death, and coming to
transcendence, transforming pain into artistic achievement.
