Modern society is altering the lifestyle and longevity of its
members much more quickly than evolutionary adaptation to these
changes can take place. The problem of calcium deficiency in the
population is compounded by the growing percentage of aged
individuals with relatively fragile, less massive skeletons.
Current-day civilizations are much more effective in prolonging
human life in a state of relative debility than even a few decades
ago. This reality is unlikely to change and mandates that we
develop strategies to prevent aging-related diseases like
osteoporosis before they become manifest. Osteoporosis: Genetics,
Prevention and Treatment places emphasis on the (1) genetic
predisposition, (2) early recognition and (3) prevention of
osteoporosis. The intent is not to move the practitioner's
attention away from intervention therapy of osteoporosis, but
rather to expand their view of this disease as one beginning at
birth and one in which susceptibility is manifest at the conclusion
of adolescence, not at menopause. The book concludes with an
informed view of the future in terms of the recognition, prevention
and management of osteoporosis.
Beyond the Metropolis is an attempt to mend the lacuna that exists
between large and small city studies in urban geography, especially
in North America. It covers a wide range of topics organized around
some of the most common themes that urban geographers have
addressed in their study of large cities. In addition to a general
introduction and conclusion, the book is divided into three parts.
Part I focuses on the evolution and growth of small cities. It
outlines in very broad terms the status of small city studies
within urban studies, in general, and urban geography, in
particular, to underscore the relatively little attention that has
been given to small cities. Part II deals with the internal
structure of small cities. Part III examines issues related to
planning and managing change in small cities. The chapters examine
established conventions in urban geography and related disciplines
from the perspectives of small cities for the purpose of
understanding small cities. Students and researchers as well as
city administrators will find the book useful.
The Third Edition of this classic compendium, Vitamin D, is the
most comprehensive, authoritative reference available in the field.
In two volumes and over 100 chapters, the editors and authors have
marshaled all currently available data on the basic mechanisms,
normal physiology and effects on disease of Vitamin D; they have
laid out for the reader up-to-date and expert information on the
role of vitamin D in health and many disorders. With new chapters
on multiple cancers, this complete reference work is essential for
anyone working in endocrinology, osteology, bone biology, or cancer
research. Volume One chapters cover the chemistry and metabolism of
vitamin D, role in mineralization, other target organs, and general
physiological effects. Volume Two is more clinically oriented
addressing deficiency problems (including diagnosis, interactions
in the endocrine system, and involvement in malignancies). Volumes
One and Two are now sold separately in print. Volume One ISBN:
9780123870353; Volume Two ISBN: 9780123870346.

Then he handed the lad a small, very small seed, and, leading him a
short distance, bade him make a small hole in the ground and place
the seed within it. He did so. And the old man bent over and kissed
his fair brow as he smoothed the earth above the seed's
resting-place, and told him that he must water it and watch it, and
it would spring up and become a fair thing in his sight.
