Since the first edition of Complement in Health and Disease was
published in 1986, significant advances have been made. The cDNAs
for all of the components and some of the receptors have been
cloned and sequenced. The chromosomal localization and the
structural organization of a number of these genes have now been
determined. These advances are now facilitating research into the
structure of the complement proteins, the nature of the complement
deficiency syndromes, the regulation of complement gene expression
and the role of complement in different diseases. This edition
contains contributions from both basic and clinical scientists in a
format which we hope will appeal to both immunologists and
physicians who wish to know more about this fascinating and
important host defence system. The introductory chapter by John
Weiler presents a historical background to research on the
complement system and describes the biochemical events occurring
during activation of the system. In Chapter 2 Alastair Dodds and
Tony Day discuss the phylogeny and evolution of the complement
system. The techniques of protein chemistry and molecular biology
have provided powerful insights into the modular structure of
complement proteins and the evolution of the complement system. The
structure and organisation of the complement genes is described in
Chapter 3 by Ken Reid and Duncan Campbell. This chapter describes
the modular structure of the complement proteins and some of the
mutations which are responsible for deficiencies of individual
components.

The complement system plays a major role in the host's defence
against infections and in immune complex diseases. Although it is
known to consist of a number of serum and membrane proteins that
interact through a cascade, there is still a poor understanding of
the exact nature of the components and their complex interaction.
Many of the biological consequences of complement activation also
await elucidation. This fully revised edition of "Complement in
Health and Disease" provides an up-to-date account of how the
system works and its effects on the host. Key topics covered
include the history, phylogeny and evolution of the system;
genetics and biochemistry; deficiency states and infection; immune
complex diseases; complement and angioedema; anaphylatoxins; and
diseases of the nervous system. The book is valuable both for those
wanting an introduction to this complex area of immunology as well
as those requiring a more detailed update on developments in
specific topics.
This volume presents the personal accounts of African American,
Asian American, and Latino faculty who use 'narratives of
struggles' to describe the challenges they faced in order to become
bona fide members of the U.S. Academy. These narratives show how
survival and success require a sophisticated knowledge of the
politics of academia, insider knowledge of the requirements of
legitimacy in scholarly efforts, and resourceful approach to facing
dilemmas between cultural values, traditional racist practices, and
academic resilience. The book also explores the empowerment process
of these individuals who have created a new self without rejecting
their 'enduring' self, the self strongly connected to their
ethno/racial cultures and groups. Within the process of self
-redefinition, this new faculty confronted racism, sexism,
rejection, the clash of cultural values, and structural
indifference to cultural diversity. The faculty recounts how they
ultimately learned the skillful accommodation to all of these
issues. It is through the analysis of survival and self-definition
that women and faculty of color will establish a powerful foothold
in the new academy of the twenty-first century.
Descriptions of Asian American communities have typically been either historical or literary. Such approaches leave us uniformed about the current conditions within the community and also leave us empty-handed in regard to knowledge by which to solve contemporary problems. Chinese America sets a new standard for ethnic research. By applying social and psychological issues to the historic U.S. community of Chinatown, this volume breaks the boundaries of community studies by addressing multiple controversial issues today. Author Chalsa M. Loo reaches deep into the vital issues that face most ethnic communities in this country. Through survey research, the delineation of major problems highlight needed changes in public policy and ethnic understanding. The core of the book is based on an in-depth study of residents of San FranciscoĘs Chinatown, the oldest Asian American community in the United States. Through surveys and collected interviews with residents, the author examines the social problems that might exist for all the major life domains of an ethnic minority community. Loo sought to test a number of hypotheses about Chinese Americans, Asian Americans, and immigrants, and found that the study dispelled many of the stereotypes and myths about these groups. Each chapter opens with a vignette and a photograph and is infused with quantitative analyses of survey data and census data. It is one of the few systematic studies of an Asian American community with an empirical and psychological approach, and it gives voice to a population that has been relatively invisible and misunderstood. Chinese American offers a comprehensive and richly informative documentation of text, photographs, and datała moving portrayal of the most famous Asian American community in the United States.
