This new book is a personal reminiscence by retired railwayman John
C Morgan, who has put together the very best of his own collection
of stunning colour photographs to portray the life and times of the
Southern Railway. At a time when the railway scene was changing
forever, John was out and about around the network capturing all
those changes on film - whether it is steam, diesel or electric,
the result is a veritable feast of colour railway nostalgia

Arising from the third Cary Conference held in 1989, Comparative
Analyses of Ecosystems investigates the utility and limitations of
cross-system comparisons in ecology. The contributors, all
well-known in their field, support their conclusions on the use and
meaning of such comparisons by presenting novel analyses of data
utilizing a variety of cross-system approaches in marine,
freshwater, and terrestrial systems.
KENNETH A. FOON and ALTON C. MORGAN, JR. Passive immunotherapy
using heteroantisera for the treatment of cancer in animals and
humans has been studied for over 50 years. Attempts have been made
to treat animal tumors with sera from immunized syngeneic,
allogeneic, or xenogeneic animals. A number of studies of passive
immunotherapy using heterologous antisera in humans have also been
performed. These studies have generally been attempted in patients
with large tumor burdens, and as would be expected, results have
been transient at best. A wide variety of solid tumors as well as
leukemias and lym- phomas have been treated with antisera raised in
sheep, horses, rabbits, and goats. Problems such as anaphylaxis,
serum sick- ness, and severe cytopenias have been encountered with
these antisera. There are a number of potential mechanisms by which
unconju- gated antibodies might be cytotoxic to tumor cells.
Antibodies bound to the cell surface membrane of tumor cells may
lead to cell lysis by complement-dependent or antibody-dependent
cellu- lar cytotoxicity. Circulating tumor cells bound by antibody
may be more susceptible to phagocytosis by the reticuloendothelial
system. Antibody bound to the cell surface membrane of tumor cells
may enhance immunogenicity of the tumor cell leading to activation
of the host's immune system.
In this book the authors have applied research knowledge to the
solution of practical problems facing wildlife conservation in
freshwater habitats. Subjects covered include: evaluation of the
conservation interest of sites; practical protection and management
of freshwater habitats; species conservation.
The forces of globalization are shifting our world, including the
public sector, away from hierarchy and command and control toward
one of collaboration and networks. The way public leadership is
thought about and practiced must be, and is being, transformed.
This volume in the "Transformational Trends in Governance &
Democracy" series explores what the shift looks like and also
offers guidance on what it should look like. Specifically, the book
focuses on the role of "career leaders" - those in public service -
who are agents of change not only in their own organizations, but
also in their communities and policy domains. These leaders work in
network settings, making connections and collaborating to create
public value and advance the common good. Featuring the insights of
an authoritative group of contributors, the volume offers a mix of
scholarship, from philosophical discussions to conceptual models to
empirical studies that, taken together, will help inform the
transformation of public leadership that is already underway.

Art criticism in the 1980s was highly influenced by market forces
that somewhat changed the face of the art world. A mediocre show
purchased by a wealthy investor or collector received
disproportionate coverage in the New York press, particularly those
glossy, four-color journals that were highly dependent upon the
advertising dollars of galleries, auction houses, vodka companies,
airlines and fashion designers. Lost in the coverage of
market-driven art was that it was not necessarily the most advanced
or even the most significant work of the decade. This work provides
an alternative viewpoint to the general American cultural discourse
of the 1980s, showing that the real situation was not the
exclusionary rhetoric of Postmodernism but was instead the conflict
between late Modernism and Conceptual Art. The 24 essays range from
discussions on Joseph Beuys and Allan Kaprow to studies of French
artist Tania Mouraud and Polish artist Jan Zakrzewski. It also
includes a lengthy commentary on art and technology, along with a
look at performance and installation art.

When origami met the worlds of design and engineering, both fields
embraced the ancient art form, using its principles and practices
to discover new problems and to generate inventive solutions. This
book demonstrates the potential of folding to improve the way
things work, simplify how products are produced, and make possible
new objects otherwise impossible. The solar collector, the felt
stool, and the surgery tool have all been influenced in some way by
folding paper. The example section is organized to show the folded
figure next to the product prototype that was inspired by that work
of origami. We have included models made from an array of materials
over a range of sizes. This includes everything from a microscopic
mechanism to huge solar panels designed to unfold in outer space.
Most entries are at the prototype phase-meaning that physical
hardware has been built to demonstrate the concept, but that the
examples are not necessarily available commercially. Y Origami?
also includes brief learning activities related to paper folding,
such as a discussion of Euler's formula, angular measurements, and
developable surfaces, along with more advanced topics. Throughout
the book many diagrams and photographs illustrate the advancing
concepts and methods of origami as an art form and a
problem-solving strategy.
Kidney transplantation is a medical procedure performed on patients
with end-stage kidney disease that can increase their life
expectancy by several years. However, the procedure involves some
risk and potential complications. Chapter One of this monograph
summarizes the current strategy for diagnosis and treatment of
chronic kidney disease-associated mineral bone disease (CKD-MBD) in
kidney transplant recipients and aims to demonstrate the latest
findings and therapeutic options in the field beyond recent
published guidelines. Chapter Two describes the necessity of
involving a psychiatrist in the transplant team to facilitate
positive outcomes in kidney transplants, as psychological factors
can contribute to treatment non-compliance and other issues.
Chapter Three defines the surgical techniques used in living donor
nephrectomy, discusses the use and reliability of these techniques
in different patient groups, and examines the long-term follow-up
results of donors and recipients. Lastly, Chapter Four discusses
the variables involved in treating patients with autosomal dominant
polycystic kidney disease (ADPCKD), whose enlarged and deformed
kidneys can complicate kidney transplantation.
