First published in 1987, this book is about how cells
differentiate; that is it describes the way in which cells in
animal and plant bodies take on their specialised fates. It has
long been recognised that since all such cells retain copies of all
genes, the genetic explanation for tissue differences lies in the
controlled expression of restricted sets of genes. But how is the
choice made and how are such restricted groups of genes activated
and regulated? This book discusses these questions and describes
both determination and differentiation. The mechanisms that
underlie the processes are described for the embryo and in the
adult. Determination may occur in adult life during regeneration,
wound healing, cancer formation and in the immune and blood
systems, and the possible genetic basis for the events is explored.
The influence of the cell environment, the cell surface and the
pericellular-extracellular matrix as mediators of external signals
is discussed.
The "No-Death Option" is a fictional work centering on Youssef
Aziz. Youssef immigrated to the United States with his mother and
father the year after Gulf War I to escape persecution from Saddam
Hussein for helping the Americans. Youssef has an American
education, but unknown to his family and close associates, Youssef
maintains close ties with one of the radical Islamic factions in
his home country of Iraq. Like a dormant virus in the human body
awaiting the right conditions to awaken, so too has Youssef's and
his plans lain dormant in America. Then events at his job cause him
to implement his plan of attack on an unsuspecting America. His
actions have serious though not deadly effects on Americans but if
not stopped would kill their great American engine of consumption,
the Economy. The Death of the Economy would result in the death of
America without killing its people. The No-Death Option takes
current events occurring in our country and tells a gripping story
of what could happen if terrorists ever figure out what truly makes
America work. The West, rich in political and economic wealth, has
continued for centuries to move into areas rich with resources,
though not welcoming of Western culture. This results in conflict
that until the twenty-first century had been won by the West ---
not by its intellectual prowess, but by its economic might. As with
the Giant Goliath, this advantage would soon come to an end. Some
in the Muslim world, the radicals or as the leaders of the West
would have one to believe, the evil doers had discovered, as did
David in the Bible, a small pebble delivered in the right manner
could bring the giant to its knees. The war between good and evil
continues.
