This is the first volume in a new series on 'Great Minds in
Regional Science,' which seeks to present a contemporary view on
the scientific relevance of the work done by great thinkers in
regional science. It presents, among others, Walter Isard, Martin
Beckmann and Gunnar Myrdal. Each contribution combines factual
biographical information, a description of their major
contributions, and a discussion of the broader context of the work,
as well as an assessment of its current relevance, scientific
recognition and policy impact. The book attempts to fill a gap in
our knowledge, and to respond to the growing interest in the
formation and development of the field of regional science and its
key influential figures.
This book is the second volume in a new series on 'Great Minds in
Regional Science,' which seeks to present a contemporary view on
the scientific relevance of the work done by great thinkers in

Johann Heinrich von Thunen, and Alan Wilson. Each chapter combines
factual biographical information about the 'Great Mind,' a
description of their major contributions, and a discussion of the
broader context of their work, as well as an assessment of its
current relevance, scientific recognition, and policy impact. The

The p53 tumor suppressor gene--the "guardian of the
genome"--protects cells against genotoxic stress but is mutated in
many cancers. It encodes one of a family of transcription factors
(p53, p63, and p73) that regulate cell proliferation,
differentiation, senescence, and cell death. Mutations in p53 allow
cells to escape normal growth controls and thereby contribute to
tumor malignancy.
Written and edited by experts in the field, this collection from
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology provides a comprehensive
review of the functions of the p53 family. The contributors examine
the normal roles of these transcription factors, the regulatory
mechanisms that control p53 activity, and the part played by p53
mutations in tumorigenesis. They also discuss the evolution of the
p53 family, which may originally have arisen to protect the
integrity of the germ line. This collection also covers the
structure of p53 and its isoforms, model systems for analyzing p53
function, studies of p53 polymorphisms, and therapeutic approaches
aimed at targeting p53 defects in cancer.
