This book examines the cogency and value of Nietzsche's idea of
eternal recurrence, as an antidote to the nihilism resulting from
the catastrophic event of 'the death of God'. Its significance to
Nietzsche's philosophy as a whole (when presented either as an
imaginative thought experiment, a cosmological hypothesis, or a
poetic metaphor) is analysed, alongside the manifold criticisms the
idea has attracted. In this original reading of eternal recurrence,
McNeil explores the strength of metaphorical meaning contained
within Heraclitean and Stoic cosmologies, revealing their influence
on Nietzsche's own cosmology, along with their holistic approach to
life which Nietzsche endorsed. Furthermore, an extensive critique
of Heidegger's interpretation of eternal recurrence is given.
McNeil argues that Heidegger ignores not only the life-affirming
Dionysian aspects of the concept, but also the Heraclitean sense of
play evident in the cosmology, and the importance of this for
developing a positive, celebratory attitude towards our lives and
creative projects.

This second edition volume expands on the first edition by
providing up-to-date protocols to characterize nanomaterials used
as drug delivery agents. The chapters in this book are divided into
5 parts and cover topics such as: advances and obstacles in
nanomedicine research; methods to test sterility and endotoxin,
physicochemical features, immunological effects, drug release, and
in vivo efficacy. Written in the highly successful Methods in
Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to
their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and
reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols,
and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Cutting-edge and comprehensive, Characterization of Nanoparticles
Intended for Drug Delivery, Second Edition is a valuable tool for
researchers and pharmaceutical and biotechnology developers who are
evaluating the clinical potential of nanomedicines in preclinical
studies.>

In recent years, there have been many exciting breakthroughs in the
application of nanotechnology to medicine. In Characterization of
Nanoparticles Intended for Drug Delivery, expert researchers
explore the latest advances in the field, providing a set of basic
methods for the characterization of nanomaterials for medical use.
Chapters provide methods to characterize the physiochemical
properties (size, aggregation, and surface chemistry) and in vitro
immunological and biological characteristics of nanomaterials.
Composed in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology (TM)
series format, each chapter contains a brief introduction,
step-by-step methods, a list of necessary materials, and a Notes
section which shares tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known
pitfalls. Comprehensive and informative, Characterization of
Nanoparticles Intended for Drug Delivery is an essential survey of
methods that are crucial to the preclinical characterization of
nanomedicines.
The first collection focused on the writing of provocative author
and performance artist Sapphire, including her groundbreaking novel
PUSH that has since become the Academy-award-winning film Precious.
