Animal cell technology is a growing discipline of cell biology
which aims not only to understand structures, functions and
behaviors of differentiated animal cells but also to uncover their
abilities for industrial and medical purposes. The goal of animal
cell technology includes clonal expansion of differentiated cells
with useful abilities, optimization of their culture conditions on
the industrial scale, modulation of their ability in order
efficiently to produce medically and pharmaceutically important
proteins, and application of animal cells to gene therapy and
formation of artificial organs. This Volume gives the readers a
complete review of the present state of the art in Japan, a country
where this field is well advanced, as well as in Asia, Europe and
the United States. The Proceedings will be useful for cell
biologists, biochemists, molecular biologists, biochemical
engineers and those in other disciplines related to animal cell
culture, working in academic environments as well as in the
biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.
Featuring an internationally distinguished list of contributors,
"Kipling and Beyond" reassesses Kiplings texts and their reception
in order to explore new approaches in postcolonial studies. The
collection asks why Kipling continues to be a significant cultural
icon, and what this legacy means in the context of todays
Anglo-American globalisation.

This study shows how philanthropic foundations and their leaders
help shape the American political agenda. The authors' central
argument is that foundation leaders are members of a key social and
political elite in American society. Relying on a survey of such
leaders and on an examination of foundation public policy grants,
the authors demonstrate that members of the foundation elite are
among the most polarized groups in American society. This study
shows how philanthropic foundations and their leaders help shape
the American political agenda. The authors' central argument is
that foundation leaders are members of a key social and political
elite in American society. Relying on a survey of such leaders and
on an examination of foundation public policy grants, the authors
demonstrate that members of the foundation elite are among the most
polarized groups in American society. Contrary to popular belief,
those who control foundations seek to make American more
progressive. Public policy oriented foundations are largely liberal
in outlook and make grants primarily to liberal individuals and
organizations. The authors examine the dilemmas that the existence
of such organizations create for democratic political theory. The
discussion is placed in the context of a historical overview of the
role of foundations in American society; it will be of great
interest to public policy professionals, political scientists, and
those who track the direction of the national agenda.
