This collection of ten critical essays is the first scholarly
criticism of haiku by Sonia Sanchez, who has exemplified herself
for six decades as a major figure in the Black Arts Movement, a
central activist in civil rights and women's movements, and an
internationally-known writer in American literature. Sanchez's
haiku, as an integral and prominent part of contemporary African
American poetry, have expressed not only her ideas of nature,
beauty, and harmony but also her aesthetic experience of music,
culture, and love. Aesthetically, this experience reflects a poetic
mind which has helped the poet to shape or reimage her poetic
spirit.
It has long been suspected, and recently confirmed, that there is
an etiologic relationship between several viruses and naturally
occurring neoplasias. Virus precursors in the form of nucleic acids
or antigens have consistently been associated with certain
neoplasias. However, the role of these virus-specified precursors
in etiology remains obscure. Recent studies of virus-associated neo
plasias have led to advances in molecular techniques, which have
yielded increas ingly sensitive assays for detection of
virus-specific nucleic acids, and which have enabled the disruption
of virus particles without concomitant loss in antigenicity of the
components. These procedures have, in turn, resulted in molecular
probes that allow more definitive evaluation of the host response
to its virus and to the tumor cell with which the virus or its
precursors are associated. Evaluations of the immune response and
status of the host have provided important informa tion about
carcinogenesis and the tools for seroepidemiological studies of a
variety of cancers. These seroepidemiological studies have
demonstrated that several human cancers, e. g., Burkitt's lymphoma
and nasopharyngeal carcinoma, are probably virus-induced, and that
antibodies that are diagnostic and prog nostic for these diseases
are detectable. The conclusion that feline leukemia is a disease
transmitted horizontally by a virus resulted primarily from
immunologi cal experiments."

For courses in management science and decision modeling.
Quantitative Analysis for Management helps students to develop a
real-world understanding of business analytics, quantitative
methods, and management science by emphasising model building,
tangible examples, and computer applications. The authors offer an
accessible introduction to mathematical models and then students
apply those models using step-by-step, how-to instructions. For
more intricate mathematical procedures, the 13th Edition offers a
flexible approach, allowing instructors to omit specific sections
without interrupting the flow of the material. Supporting computer
software enables instructors to focus on the managerial problems
and solutions, rather than spending valuable class time on the
details of algorithms.
