Vitamin D deficiency is a worldwide problem linked to numerous
diseases affecting men, women, and children of all ages. Enormous
progress in the study of vitamin D has been made since the first
edition of this highly-acclaimed book was published nearly 20 years
ago, and current research continues to draw headlines. Feldman and
Pikeās Vitamin D, Fifth Edition continues to build on the
successful formula from previous editions, taking the reader from
the basic elements of fundamental research to the most
sophisticated concepts in therapeutics. The two comprehensive
volumes provide investigators, clinicians, and students with a
comprehensive, definitive, and up-to-date compendium of the diverse
scientific and clinical aspects of vitamin D, where each area is
covered by both basic and clinical experts in the field. In Volume
I: Biochemistry, Physiology and Diagnostics, international experts
in endocrinology, bone biology, and human physiology take readers
through the basic research of vitamin D. This impressive reference
presents a comprehensive review of the multi-faceted actions of
vitamin D relating both to skeletal and extra-skeletal action.
Researchers from all areas of vitamin D will gain insight into how
clinical observations and practices can feed back into the research
cycle and will, therefore, be able to develop more targeted genomic
and proteomic insights into the mechanisms of disease. Volume II:
Health, Disease and Therapy authoritatively covers the evidence for
new roles of vitamin D, ranging from organ transplantation to
cancer, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis,
and renal disease. The coverage is appropriately broad, drawing on
aspects of internal medicine, pediatrics, nutrition, orthopedics,
oncology, neurology, obstetrics and gynecology, and immunology, as
well as, new areas for vitamin D including sports medicine,
opthalmology, veterinary medicine and ICU care ā including
COVID-19. Clinical researchers will gain a strong understanding of
the molecular basis for a particular disease and better understand
future directions for research in this still-growing field.

This 2nd edition presents strategies and answers questions, based
on research and best practices, on how to develop curriculum and
instruction, from philosophical base through assessment, to ensure
excellence in curriculum beyond boiler plate standards. Current
vocabulary describes this process as Value Added. However, since
the current political paradigm requires school systems to map the
curriculum to state and national assessments, attention is also
given to curriculum mapping, pacing guides and other contemporary
strategies designed to meet common cores, and other accountability
issues. The book provides a process for school systems to follow in
order to maximize teacher expertise and involvement, which creates
the highest level of ownership and responsiveness from those
charged with instruction and assessment. The text is a platform to
encourage and enable school systems and universities to lead
curriculum, instruction, and assessment that addresses, but goes
beyond boiler plate standards, moves away from "teaching to the
test," and toward critical thinking, innovative thinking, and
maximizing student potential.

School Law for Public, Private, and Parochial Educators serves
educators from all types of school systems in preservice or
professional development. It is designed as an academic text for
master's and doctoral level, and administrative licensure
(postmaster's). Since educators often work in both the public and
the private sector, this text prepares them for a career in either
domain. This is a unique feature of the book, since school law
books usually concentrate on either the public or the private
domain. The following relevant issues in school law are covered:
*The legal system *The federal and state role in education
*Church-state relationships and accomodations *Attendance law
*Instructional programs *Student rights *Teacher contracts, rights,
and freedoms *Teacher negligence *Law for students with
disabilities *Desegregation *Title IX To facilitate research
efforts, the book provides case summaries, which include briefs,
ramifications, and topics of interest at the end of each chapter.
School Law for Public, Private, and Parochial Educators is a
concise presentation of the constitutional, statutory, and case law
knowledge necessary for the effective day-to-day operation of all
types of school systems. Contemporary issues having a large impact
on school law, such as the charter school movement, home schooling,
public and private vouchers, common core, and the persistent
evolution verses intelligent design controversy, are also included.
This volume is part of a series of English translations of the
