This volume aims to attract the interest of neuroscientists and
clinical neurologists by building a novel bridge from molecular
research to clinical therapy. This novel approach reveals the
functional features of neurons and glia in the particular context
of vulnerability and self-protection, intracellular properties and
extracellular matrix. Arising from this platform, this volume
unfolds the molecular and systemic processes underlying migration
disorders, axonal injury, repair and regeneration. Comprehensive
chapters on neurological diseases, such as M. Alzheimer, M.
Parkinson, ALS, stroke or trauma, take this knowledge, apply it at
the clinical level to provide a basis for novel therapeutic
strategies. Brain Damage and Repair is completed with chapters on
imaging techniques, viral gene transfer or legal international
handling of stem cell transfer and patents of DNA/proteins.
Using policy analysis and case study approaches, Private
Universities in Latin America examines the significant amounts of
research and innovation being made available from private
universities in Latin America.
This innovative book contributes to a paradigm shift in the study
of creole languages, forging new empirical frameworks for
understanding language and culture in sociohistorical contact. The
authors bring together archival sources to challenge dominant
linguistic theory and practice and engage issues of power,
positioning marginalized indigenous peoples as the center of, and
vital agents in, these languages' formation and development.
Students in language contact, pidgins and creoles, Caribbean
studies, and postcolonial studies courses-and scholars across many
disciplines-will benefit from this book and be convinced of the
importance of understanding creoles and creolization.

"Latinos" are the largest group among Americans of color. At 59
million, they constitute nearly a fifth of the US population. Their
number has alarmed many in government, other mainstream
institutions, and the nativist right who fear the white-majority US
they have known is disappearing. During the 2016 US election and
after, Donald Trump has played on these fears, embracing xenophobic
messages vilifying many Latin American immigrants as rapists, drug
smugglers, or "gang bangers." Many share such nativist desires to
build enhanced border walls and create immigration restrictions to
keep Latinos of various backgrounds out. Many whites' racist
framing has also cast native-born Latinos, their language, and
culture in an unfavorable light. Trump and his followers' attacks
provide a peek at the complex phenomenon of the racialization of US
Latinos. This volume explores an array of racialization's
manifestations, including white mob violence, profiling by law
enforcement, political disenfranchisement, whitewashed
reinterpretations of Latino history and culture, and depictions of
"good Latinos" as racially subservient. But subservience has never
marked the Latino community, and this book includes pointed
discussions of Latino resistance to racism. Additionally, the
book's scope goes beyond the United States, revealing how Latinos
are racialized in yet other societies.

A guide on Everything You Need to Know About Probate. While nobody
likes to think about it, we all die eventually. If you own your own
home, it's important to know what will happen to it after you're
gone. Legally the property has to be passed on to the people listed
in the person's Will. Of course there isn't always a Will there to
use as a reference. In these cases the people receiving assets will
be designated by the State Law. So if you want a specific person to
receive your estate, you need to put it in a Will. The process of
selling the home after death is known as Probate.
The Catholic Church finally drops the celibacy requirement for the
priesthood. Fr. Stephen Wollmering, the dedicated pastor of Our
Lady of Perpetual Help, goes on a quest for the perfect wife. He
marries Catherine Leitner, who defies Church traditions and steps
on some big toes. She's not about to roll over and play dead for
any pope. What's worse, she may be leading the priest to see things
from a whole new perspective. When bishop Isidore pressures Fr.
Stephen to make him see the error of his ways, it may not
necessarily be the one the Church wants him to rectify.
