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.
