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
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.

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.
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.

As the storm is fast approaching the Louisiana coast, Cora Boisdore
refuses to leave the city. Her parents, Joe Boisdore, an artist
descended from freed slaves who became the city's preeminent
furniture makers, and his white "Uptown" wife, Dr. Tess Eshleman,
are forced to evacuate without her, setting off a chain of events
that leaves their marriage in shambles and Cora catatonic - the
victim or perpetrator of some violence mysterious even to herself.
This mystery is at the center of Babst's haunting and profound
novel. Cora's sister, Del, returns to New Orleans from the
successful life she built in New York City to find her hometown in
ruins and her family deeply alienated from one another. As Del
attempts to figure out what happened to her sister, she must also
reckon with the racial history of the city and the trauma of a
disaster that was not, in fact, some random act of God but an
avoidable tragedy visited on New Orleans's most vulnerable
citizens. Separately and together, each member of the Boisdore clan
must find the strength to remake home in a city forever changed.
The Floating World is the Katrina story that needed to be told -
one with a piercing, unforgettable loveliness and a vivid, intimate
understanding of this particular place and its tangled past.

Clement Greenberg (1909-1994) was a colossus of twentieth-century
American art, achieving a degree of authority almost unimaginable
for a critic today. For more than thirty years he was both lionized
as a proponent of formalism and criticized for his perceived
dogmatism. In the postwar period Greenberg used his position of
influence to advocate the importance of abstract expressionism and
color-field painting and to establish the careers of such artists
as Jackson Pollock, Hans Hofmann, Barnett Newman, and Willem de
Kooning. With the coming of pop art, performance and conceptual
art, and postmodernism, however, Greenberg found his position
increasingly challenged. Edited with an introduction by critic
Robert C. Morgan, Clement Greenberg, Late Writings "is the first
collection from the period 1970 to 1990, and the only comprehensive
resource for Greenberg's thought during the last third of his life.
While earlier works have covered Greenberg's early and middle
career, this volume spans his mature period, during which he
reevaluates and refines many of his earlier tenets in some of his
most carefully crafted and engaging work. Exploring a surprising
breadth of issues and mediums and demonstrating a depth of
aesthetic and philosophical insights, in these relatively unknown
works Greenberg incites a new direction for modernism beyond the
twentieth century. This essential volume includes five interviews
from the end of his life in which Greenberg revisits some of the
concerns of his formative years, illuminating the progression of
his thought. Late Writings" is an integral resource as issues of
quality and significance in the dynamic world of art continue to be
redefined. Clement Greenberg was the most influential art critic of
the postwar period. He was the author of numerous books, and his
essays appeared in art magazines as well as such publications as
"Partisan Review, Commentary, "and "The Nation." Robert C. Morgan
is the author of "The End of the Art World" and of a monograph on
the optical painter Vasarely. In addition to his work as a critic,
artist, art historian, and curator, he is visiting professor of art
at Hunter College in New York City.
