The critically acclaimed laboratory standard, Methods in
Enzymology, is one of the most highly respected publications in the
field of biochemistry. Since 1955, each volume has been eagerly
awaited, frequently consulted, and praised by researchers and
reviewers alike. The series contains much material still relevant
today - truly an essential publication for researchers in all
fields of life sciences.

Uneasy Allies? offers a careful study of the cultural distance
between Jews and Evangelicals, two groups that have been largely
estranged from one another. While in the past, American Jews have
been wary of accepting the support of would-be Evangelical
Christian allies, changes have occurred due to the critical
situation in the Middle East. Over the past few years, leaders in
mainstream Jewish organizations have been more open to accepting
Evangelical support but have also encountered new tensions. Alan
Mittleman, Byron R. Johnson, and Nancy Isserman bring together a
collection of critical essays that investigate how each group
perceives the other and the evolution of their relationship
together. This book focuses on the history of Evangelical-Jewish
relations from the level of communal agencies to grassroots groups.
While the essays document differences in worldview, ethos, and
politics, they also highlight shared values and problems. These
commonalities have the potential to broaden the relationship
between the two communities. Uneasy Allies? is an illuminating book
that will stimulate discussion among scholars of religion and
politics and those interested in Jewish studies.

Recombinant DNA methods are powerful, revolutionary techniques for
at least two reasons.
First, they allow the isolation of single genes in large amounts
from a pool of thousands or millions of genes. Second, the isolated
genes or their regulatory regions can be modified at will and
re-introduced into cells for expression at the RNA or protein
levels. These attributes help to solve complex biological problems
and to produce new and better products in the areas of health,
agriculture and industry.
Both volume 154 and 155 include the descriptions of several useful
new restriction enzymes and rapid methods for DNA sequence
analysis, along with a number of other useful methods.

This book is based on the papers presented at the conference on
"Mecha nisms of DNA Damage and Repair: Implications for
Carcinogenesis and Risk Assessment," held at the National Bureau of
Standards on June 2-7, 1985, This volume deals with mechanisms of
DNA damage and repair at the molecular level; consequences of
unrepaired or misrepaired damage, with major emphasis on
carcinogenesis; drugs which bind selectively to altered and
potentially damaging DNA sequences; and potential utilization of
DNA damage as an endpoint for assessing risks of UV light, ionizing
radiations, chemicals, drugs, and hazardous agents in foods.
Because the induction of mutations by radiation and genotoxic
chemicals has been observed to follow one-hit kinetics in some
instances, it is generally assumed that any level of exposure to a
DNA-damaging agent may increase the risk of genetic disease or
cancer in an exposed population. At the same time, however, there
is evidence that although the DNA of living cells is continually
damaged by natural background radiation, free radicals, and other
naturally occurring processes, most of the damage is normally
repaired.
