New techniques make it possible for investigators to examine and
sometimes quantify various aspects of nuclear morphology and
function; now they can derive clinically and biologically useful
information about the nucleus. This book draws together a series of
techniques which have been successfully applied to the study of the
nucleus of tumour cells. These are of fundamental importance to
researchers in tumour histopathology and medical oncology. Detailed
reviews are given of various aspects of the morphology, ploidy and
karyotypic status and function of the nuclei in the cells of
tumours and preneoplastic lesions. Topics covered include nuclear
morphology in tumour diagnosis, the ultrastructure of the nucleus,
karyotypic analyses of solid tumours, flow cytometric assessment of
nuclear ploidy and other parameters, histomorphometry of the
nucleus, and in situ hybridisation.
This book presents an accessible and fascinating account of
theoretical debates around identity and work, recent empirical
trends and methodological arguments concerning the role of oral
testimony and its interpretation. Focusing on three occupational
sectors in particular teachers, bank workers and the railway
industry it also presents an argument that is both more general
than this and theoretically and analytically wide-ranging. The book
explores some important questions: how are workers, both in the
past and the present juncture, socialised into work cultures? What
are the cultural and structural differences with regard the world
of work across class, gender, and generation? What are the
historical conditions of which these differences play a part? How
is the idea of work found in a range of representations, from
artistic production to sociological discourse expressed and
explored? The development of concepts such as 'structures of
feeling' and affect, and the weaving in of historical and visual
material, make the book important to a wide range of readers
including ethnographers, cultural sociologists and narrative
researchers. In turn, this book offers an authoritative and
sophisticated summary and analysis of work and identity and is an
important intervention into mainstream sociology concerns.

Drawing on the work of Raymond Williams, Valentin Volosinov and
Mikhail Bakhtin, the book examines key issues for working-class
studies including: the idea of the 'death' of class; the importance
of working-class writing; the significance of place and space for
understanding working-class identity; and the centrality of work in
working-class lives.
"Class, Culture and Social Change" challenges the notion of the
"death of the working class." The author examines a number of key
issues for working-class studies: the idea of the "death" of class;
the importance of working-class writing; the significance of place
and space for understanding working-class identity; and the
centrality of work in working-class lives. Drawing on the work of
Raymond Williams, Valentin Volosinov, Mikhail Bakhtin, and others,
the book seeks to revive ways for thinking about working-class
identity and experience.
This volume details the function of hydrocarbon seeps, their
evolution over time, the most important seep occurrences and the
fauna present in ancient hydrocarbon seeps. While several
publications exist that cover modern seeps and vents, fossil seeps
only constitute a small component of the literature. As such, many
geologists, stratigraphers and paleontologists, as well as
undergraduates and graduate students, are not very familiar with
ancient hydrocarbon seep deposits and their associated fauna. This
text is the first to comprehensively discuss the nature of such
animal groups and how to recognize them. In addition to summarizing
available knowledge on these topics for specialists in the field,
this book offers the background needed to be of use to students as
well as the wider community of geologists and paleontologists.
The oceans cover 70% of the Earth's surface, and are critical
components of Earth's climate system. This new edition of
Encyclopedia of Ocean Sciences, Six Volume Set summarizes the
breadth of knowledge about them, providing revised, up to date
entries as well coverage of new topics in the field. New and
expanded sections include microbial ecology, high latitude systems
and the cryosphere, climate and climate change, hydrothermal and
cold seep systems. The structure of the work provides a modern
presentation of the field, reflecting the input and different
perspective of chemical, physical and biological oceanography, the
specialized area of expertise of each of the three
Editors-in-Chief. In this framework maximum attention has been
devoted to making this an organic and unified reference.

Verna J. Kirkness grew up on the Fisher River Indian reserve in
Manitoba. Her childhood dream to be a teacher set her on a lifelong
journey in education as a teacher, counsellor, consultant, and
professor. Her simple quest to teach ""in a Native way""
revolutionized Canadian education policy and practice. Kirkness
broke new ground at every turn. As the first cross-cultural
consultant for the Manitoba Department of Education Curriculum
Branch she made Cree and Ojibway the languages of instruction in
several Manitoba schools. In the early 1970s she became the first
Education Director for the Manitoba Indian Brotherhood (now the
Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs) and then Education Director for the
National Indian Brotherhood (now the Assembly of First Nations).
She played a pivotal role in developing the education sections of
Wahbung: Our Tomorrows, which transformed Manitoba education, and
the landmark 1972 national policy of Indian Control of Indian
Education. These two major works have shaped First Nations
education in Canada for more than 40 years. In the 1980s she became
an assistant professor at the University of British Columbia where
she was appointed Director of the Native Teacher Education Program,
founded the Ts''Kel Graduate Program, and was a driving force
behind the creation of the First Nations House of Learning.
Honoured by community and country, Kirkness is a visionary who has
inspired, and been inspired by, generations of students. Like a
long conversation between friends, Creating Space reveals the
challenges and misgivings, the burning questions, the successes and
failures that have shaped the life of this extraordinary woman and
the history of Aboriginal education in Canada.
Dealing with loss is one of the few experiences that does not get
easier with practice. People are particularly sensitive to anything
that jeopardizes their self-esteem or attachment needs. Loss hurts.
Reactions vary, as these stories show, from the relatively
optimistic to the pathological, all in the hope of returning to a
state of stable equilibrium. Some struggles are overwhelming.
During the big flood, Walter has to deal with concurrent and
competing issues of loss. A natural disaster only magnifies the
situation. Is the sandbag dike high enough? Strong enough? In which
flood fight will he prevail?
Dan Kelley still wonders why his parents took him on a perilous
journey across the uninhabited wilderness, when he was only four
years old. He also wonders how, just a few miles from their
apparent destination, they suddenly disappeared. With no family,
Dan is forced to grow up in a dungeon-like orphanage in an isolated
frontier outpost. Years later, circumstances surrounding this
mystery resurface. Dan and his friends research clues only to end
up with vague references regarding an incident that took place more
than twenty years before. The group decides to undertake their own
dangerous expedition to the remote site to search for answers. When
their scientific assault of the mystery results only in dead ends,
Dan must dig deeper to understand his father's motivations. What
follows is a revelation of the human spirit as Dan discovers the
direction home.
This book serves a major purpose in my life. Even the book cover,
overflowing with the 8's, shares some major significance to me. In
the Bible, the number 8 means new beginning. In order to further
explain the purpose of this book, I have to go back to where my
soul first experienced pain and rejection. Attending kindergarten
at PS 31, I started school almost a year late because I had eczema
really badly. I also had a teacher (whose name I remember to this
day) who would make me stay alone in one part of the classroom. I
wasn't allowed to sit or play with the other students because even
though I wasn't contagious, I looked the part. I also have to go
back to a family tragedy where at the age of twelve, I was gang
raped by grown men. When they let me leave, I went home. No one was
there, so I went to sleep and I slept with that secret for almost
six months. I never told anyone until I was sent to live with
relatives in another state. Torn from my sisters who I loved and
who I knew really loved me, I was too messed up to realize that my
new family was trying to love me. I was too messed up to receive
the love they gave. After some years, I was brought back to my
sisters and brothers and my mother, but too much had happened to
me. There was so much anger and hurt, and I acted out a lot. I fell
in love with an older married man who I thought loved me. At that
time, I didn't love me enough to get out of an abusive
relationship. At the age of twenty, I gave birth to my first child,
my son. After thirteen years, the older married man and I parted
ways, but I was blessed with two children from him. In order to get
away from him, I moved out of state where the lack of money for
diapers and food became so difficult that I began dating for money.
I know I have made some major mistakes in my life. All the hurt,
joy, pain and lessons were all trapped inside my mind. The only way
to get free was to write. My poetry was my escape. This book
reflects my new beginning, my BEGINNING ANEW.
