Several aspects of clinical medicine are poised on the edge of a
new era with the introduction of therapeutic antibodies. This
revolution has been made possible by major advances in immune
technology, which are now beginning to mature into clinical
practice. This volume is aimed at all clinicians involved with this
form of treatment, especially accident and emergency physicians,
clinical immunologists, and pharmacologists. It covers both the
basic technology, and also all the main clinical areas of
application: septic shock, auto-immune disease, and cancer. The
future of therapeutic antibodies is also discussed, including
exciting new developments in "catalytic antibodies". This is the
first occasion on which all these topics have been brought together
in a single volume, thus making it an important reference source
for physicians and researchers in this fast-moving area.
Across Europe there is increasing concern that children from
migrant families frequently under-perform in state school systems.
The situation makes high demands on nursery and primary teachers
whose initial and continuing professional development requires
appropriate re-evaluation. The Socrates-Comenius project TESSLA
with experts in Estonia, France, Germany, Sweden, Turkey and the UK
presents courses that comprise the relevant subject areas:
bilingual language acquisition, intercultural and language
awareness, language assessment, literacy development and parental
involvement. Teacher educators are also provided with a discussion
of appropriate methodologies, including problem-based and online
learning.
The Low Road to Chaos is the fourth book of the Jake Loner Series.
Jake and his clan of homicidal ex-girl friends are reunited, then
recruited to hunt down one more dragon and slay another demon or
two. Jake finds being a knight errant in the world of
uber-capitalism and pervasive high tech surveillance is damn
difficult. Once again he reverts to mysticism, pharmacology and
violence to carry the day, but at what cost?
A Low Road to the High County is a rough and sexy sojourn through
the land of downwinders, drifters and cowboy knights-errant.
Whorehouses and honky tonks line the winding road of Jake Loner's
quest for justice in an indifferent, dusty world. Follow the former
smuggler as he backtracks the murder of one of his few friends.
From mountain men trappers of the 1820's, past nerve gas and
nuclear devastation, to the secrets of Area 51, Jake follows the
trail and delivers his own harsh retribution for the destruction of
his friend and all he held dear. The Old West meets the future in
this tough story.
John W. Landon, himself a theatre pipe organist, has written the
first history of the theatre pipe organ. He traces its development
from church organ to a theatrical instrument that took the place of
a piano. Landon also discusses the pipe organ's later emergence as
a solo instrument, its use in radio broadcasting and phonograph
records, and its present uses. The book also includes a history of
those companies that built theatre organs and biographical sketches
of some of the leading theatre organists. The appendixes list
theatre organ installations around the world.
