The study of pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics focuses on how
our genes and complex gene systems influence our response to drugs.
Recent progress in the science of clinical therapeutics has led to
the discovery of new biomarkers that make it technically easier to
identify groups of patients which are more or less likely to
respond to individual therapies. The aim is to improve personalised
medicine - not simply to prescribe the right medicine, but to
deliver the right drug at the right dose at the right time. This
textbook brings together contributions from leading experts to
discuss the latest information on how human genetics impacts drug
response phenotypes. It presents not only the basic principles of
pharmacogenetics, but also clinically valuable examples that cover
a broad range of specialties and therapeutic areas. The first
section of the book outlines critical concepts in pharmacogenetics
and pharmacogenomics, including genetic testing, genotyping
technologies, and adverse drug effects. The next section discusses
the legal, ethical, and social implications of pharmacogenomics.
The second half of the book details many of the main therapeutic
areas, including oncologic drugs, cardiovascular drugs, statins,
drug-induced long QT syndrome, diabetes drugs, respiratory drugs,
gastrointestinal drugs, rheumatoid arthritis drugs, obstetric
drugs, psychiatric drugs, pain and anesthesia drugs, HIV and
antiretroviral drugs, pediatrics, and fetal and neonatal medicine.
This textbook is an invaluable introduction to pharmacogenetics and
pharmacogenomics for health care professionals, medical students,
pharmacy students, graduate students and researchers in the
biosciences. RESOURCES @ www.cambridge.org/altman Link to the

An urgent plea for a broader understanding and awareness of the
unconsidered dangers of new genetic technologies Since 2010 it has
been possible to determine a person's genetic makeup in a matter of
days at an accessible cost for many millions of people. Along with
this technological breakthrough there has emerged a movement to use
this information to help prospective parents "eliminate preventable
genetic disease." As the prospect of systematically excluding the
appearance of unwanted mutations in our children comes within
reach, David B. Goldstein examines the possible consequences from
these types of choices. Engaging and accessible, this clarion call
for responsible and informed stewardship of the human genome
provides an overview of what we do and do not know about human
genetics and looks at some of the complex, yet largely unexplored,
issues we must be most careful about as we move into an era of
increasing numbers of parents exercising direct control over the
genomes of their children.
Over the past three decades, the population of international
students throughout the world has steadily increased. Although
university students choose to study in locations other than their
home country for a variety of reasons, including professional
development and disciplinary training, nearly all education abroad
programs have intercultural learning as a central goal. In this
Element, perspectives derived from cross-cultural psychological
research are applied to an investigation of the effectiveness of
study abroad as a mechanism for intercultural learning.
Effectiveness is broadly defined and includes not only overall
favorable program outcomes, such as gains in intercultural skills,
knowledge, attitudes, and awareness, but also a recognition that
study abroad experiences and outcomes may vary depending upon
participants' diverse and intersectional identities. Best practices
for facilitating intercultural learning through study abroad are
identified and strategies are outlined for addressing the
methodological challenges of research in this area.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is now a global utility. The
United States Air Force is the steward responsible for sustaining
and modernizing the constellation. The current launch-to-sustain
strategy implemented by the Air Force is not flexible, does not
effectively support GPS modernization, and it does not lend itself
to a future responsive launch paradigm.

Eating and drinking-vital to all human beings-were of central
importance to Shakespeare and his contemporaries. Culinary
Shakespeare, the first collection devoted solely to the study of
food and drink in Shakespeare's plays, reframes questions about
cuisine, eating, and meals in early modern drama. As a result,
Shakespearean scenes that have long been identified as important
and influential by scholars can now be considered in terms of
another revealing cultural marker-that of culinary dynamics.
Renaissance scholars, as David Goldstein and Amy Tigner point out,
have only begun to grapple with the importance of cuisine in
literature. An earlier generation of criticism concerned itself
principally with cataloguing the foodstuffs in the plays. Recent
analyses have operated largely within debates about humoralism and
dietary literature, consumption, and interiority, working to
historicize food in relation to the early modern body. The essays
in Culinary Shakespeare build upon that prior focus on individual
bodily experience but also transcend it, emphasizing the aesthetic,
communal, and philosophical aspects of food, while also presenting
valuable theoretical background. As various essays demonstrate,
many of the central issues in Shakespeare studies can be elucidated
by turning our attention to the study of food and drink. The
societal and religious associations of drink, for example, or the
economic implications of ingredients gathered from other lands,
have meaningful implications for our understanding of both early
modern and contemporary periods-including aspects of community,
politics, local and global food production, biopower and the state,
addiction, performativity, posthumanism, and the relationship
between art and food. Culinary Shakespeare seeks to open new
interpretive possibilities and will be of interest to scholars and
students of Shakespeare and the early modern period as well as to
those in food studies, food history, ecology, gender and
domesticity, and critical theory.
In 1892, Lord Frederick Arthur Stanley donated the Dominion Hockey
Challenge Cup - later known as the Stanley Cup - to crown the first
Canadian hockey champions. Canada's Holy Grail documents Lord
Stanley's personal politics, his desire to affect Canadian
nationality and unity, and the larger transformations in
Anglo-liberal political thought at the time. This book posits that
the Stanley Cup fit directly within Anglo-American traditions of
using sport to promote ideas of the national, and the donation of
the cup occurred at a moment in history when Canadian nationalists
needed identifying symbols. Jordan B. Goldstein asserts that only
with a transformation in Anglo-liberal thought could the state
legitimately act through culture to affect national identity.
Drawing on primary source documentation from Lord Stanley's
archives, as well as statements by politicians and hockey
enthusiasts, Canada's Holy Grail integrates political thought into
the realm of sport history through the discussion of a championship
trophy that still stands as one of the most well-known and
recognized Canadian national symbols.
It is only in recent decades that psychology as an academic
discipline has begun to recognize the importance of a cultural
perspective. From cross-cultural psychology through to
psychological anthropology, psychologists have taken a number of
approaches to studying the role of culture in human behavior. This
comprehensive workbook is designed to facilitate students'
understanding and application of major concepts and principles of
culture and psychology. The fully updated new edition features over
100 case studies, self-administered scales, mini-experiments, and
library research projects, addressing topics such as culture,
race/ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, and
social class. Theoretical and guiding content is included in each
chapter to embed the activities within key concepts and principles.
Designed to contribute to the inclusion of cultural perspectives in
the psychology curriculum, this wide-ranging book provides students
with hands-on experiences that facilitate the understanding and
application of major concepts and principles in the study of
culture and psychology. The workbook is supported by a substantial
Instructor's Manual that includes discussion questions, video
recommendations, variations by course level, and suggestions for
expanded writing assignments. See "Support Material" below for
access.
David B. Goldstein argues for a new understanding of Renaissance
England from the perspective of communal eating. Rather than focus
on traditional models of interiority, choice and consumption,
Goldstein demonstrates that eating offered a central paradigm for
the ethics of community formation. The book examines how sharing
food helps build, demarcate and destroy relationships - between
eater and eaten, between self and other, and among different
groups. Tracing these eating relations from 1547 to 1680 - through
Shakespeare, Milton, religious writers and recipe book authors -
Goldstein shows that to think about eating was to engage in complex
reflections about the body's role in society. In the process, he
radically rethinks the communal importance of the Protestant
Eucharist. Combining historicist literary analysis with insights
from social science and philosophy, the book's arguments
reverberate well beyond the Renaissance. Ultimately, Eating and
Ethics in Shakespeare's England forces us to rethink our own
relationship to food.
