Racial and ethnic issues stand at the core of social, political, and economic concerns in an increasingly diverse America. Accordingly, how individuals from the various ethnic groups regard themselves-and others-is a salient focus of research studies across the disciplines. Measuring Race and Ethnicity gathers psychological measures of common phenomena such as racial identity, acculturation, and intra- and intergroup relations enabling researchers to compare concepts across groups and better evaluate differences and disparities. Researchers in psychology, social work, and public health examining cultural and race-related topics will find an immediately relevant source of valid and reliable scales in Measuring Race and Ethnicity.

Sulfonium compounds have been known to the organic chemist for almost 90 years. During most of this period they remained curiosities, well suited for didactic purposes to illustrate certain similarities to ether adducts and to organic ammonium compounds. Their exploration remained largely in the academic realm, because no unusual practical applications were found in spite of a steady increase in the attention paid to them. An event that occasionally puts a class of compounds into the center of interest is the recognition of its occurrence in nature and of special biological significance. The first natural sulfonium compound was discovered less than 20 years ago, somewhat by chance rather than as the climax of some coveted biochemical problem. Gradually, however, the unique role of sulfonium compounds, especially of S-adenosyl- methionine, in enzymatic group transfer reactions such as trans- methylation was recognized, and the recent upsurge of interest has been exceptional. The present review is directed toward an interpretation of the properties and functions of biological sulfonium compounds with frequent reference to their structural chemistry. The data presented here may suggest novel or improved analytical techniques and new interpretations of the mechanism of group transfer. Furthermore, a stimulus may be derived for the design of sulfonium compound analogues. The availability of competitive analogues of biochemical key compounds has aided in the understanding of the function of virtually all metabolic intermediates, prosthetic groups of enzymes, vitamins, amino acids, and other compounds. The pattern will be similar in sulfonium biochemistry.

To mark the 200th anniversary of the death of Moses Mendelssohn in 1986, the Lessing Academy in WolfenbA1/4ttel organized a symposium for scholars from Germany and abroad. The results of this gathering are presented here. The broad range of topics - theological, philosophical, historical, literary - reflects the multiplicity of contexts in which the most important Jewish thinker of the German Enlightenment demands to be regarded. The twenty contributions comprise both studies of Mendelssohn's approach to specific problems in comparison with his contemporaries and discussion of the ways in which his life and writings are reflected in the history of his reception and readership and the influence he exerted. This extends to a critical appreciation of Mendelssohn's significance as a leading figure in Jewish emancipation in Germany.

Providing a critical update and review of salient topics needed for the proper cardiac evaluation and care of athletes, this text is designed to be the most up-to-date and practical manual for all health care providers who evaluate and treat athletes, including sports cardiologists, general cardiologists, sports medicine specialists, team doctors and athletic trainers. The book is divided into three key sections. The first section discusses essential topics pertaining to the pre-participation cardiac screening of athletes, providing a framework for how best to perform pre-participation cardiac evaluations and optimize the interpret at ion of cardiac screening test results, and a guide to assist the streamlining of appropriate downstream testing when required. The second section reviews the management and care of athletes with specific, existing cardiovascular disorders, providing the reader with fundamental principles to help recognize and advise levels of sport participation to athletes with these disorders. The final section deals with acute sideline management of the symptomatic athlete and will again provide practical algorithms for cardiologists and non-cardiologists alike who are responsible for athlete health and safety in the sports arenas and training facilities. Written and edited by highly regarded experts in the field of sports cardiology, including several cardiologists who are collegiate and professional team physicians and who work with professional sports organizations on developing policies for cardiac screening and monitoring, Sports Cardiology is an excellent practical resource for all clinicians working in the field.

Anna, an empty nester, is experiencing a collapse of her life as she's known it. Every area of her life is breaking down and she can't seem to make sense of anything: her marriage, her body, her mind, her libido, God, her children or her purpose. She grapples with panic attacks and many other symptoms of hormonal hell. Anna is riddled with ambiguity: simultaneously sophisticated and earthy; intellectual and intuitive; confident and competent, yet filled with insecurities and debilitating procrastination. She is, in essence, an amalgamation of all the possibilities that exist for her to be. Fumbling through periomenopause, Anna often cannot sleep through the night, and dwells in a private world of neurotic, and often comical ramblings. During this time, she composes a fable about Mattie, an alter ego, and Liliana, Mattie's wise mentor. Through a series of Alice-in-Wonderland type events that occur in a secret garden, Liliana reveals some profound truths to Mattie. God appears to Liliana in numerous forms, engaging her in an exploration of her emerging self as a newly born wise woman. As they come to some dazzling epiphanies about life as a mature woman, Anna's own life parallels that of her alter egos, leading her from misery to magnificence.
